There’s a trend where built fat (the best physique) is being replaced by fit muscular and it’s pissing me off.

Because no one actually likes being fat and anyone who disagrees is just coping
Since Ozempic made weight loss trivial, everybody who can get a prescription does so as soon as they can

People don’t know what they want. In the past being fat was considered high class since they could afford to eat enough to get like that.

Pretty soon things will flip again and thick will win.

Builtfat guys can’t get women anymore. Historically, builtfat guys were attractive IF they had some money and that’s because most women didn’t have money and were looking for a husband to eventually divorce rape. But nowadays, every woman who is remotely attractive can get a half decent job easily so they don’t want to need the builtfat husband so that guy gets no play anymore.

it builtfat were actually the best physique, you'd be grateful, because women would be clamoring for your fat ass in the vacuum created by GLP-1 agonists and "lean is law" trends

Because steroids are easier to get than ever and Ret exists now which means nobody has to be fat as long as they don't care about pharmaceuticals. Big Boy doesn't need self-control anymore, and he doesn't need to cope that

now he can look just as good as anybody else that actually cares about their health and looks.

Because thanks to science and research people realized that traditional bulking is fucking retarded, so most people either "maingain" or do slight calorie surplus.

At this point, the only ones doing dirty bulks are the mentally challenged people that are stuck in the past and fatties with 0 self control that think that eating 3500 calories a day when their maintenance is 2500 will give them massive gains (they just want to eat pizza every day)

Bro WHERE. Even normal weight people in my area are in anomaly. The people that aren't fat or split into normal weight and meth skinny so even FEWER are healthy looking, but every single person that I know that talks about being on ozempig is shockingly still fat.
>>
>>77502495
i eat 3500 clean calories a day and i'm barely gaining weight

when i got up to 160 i had to eat 4-6k calories a day but i wasn't eating clean then so the inflammation bothered me so much that i quit bulking
>>
>>77501952
Assuming you are blasting the same shit, being builtfat is unhealthier simply because you carry more weight.
>>
>>77502882
not true

people that are slightly overweight going into old age have the best longevity

i can easily see why, it's not enough for arteries to clog given you're otherwise healthy, so you just get the benefit of a little extra padding and resources when your body is going through it

at the slightly overweight builtfat level i don't think cytokine storm would factor in either
>>
>>77502885
Builtfat strongman types are on heavy roids and also fat as fuck. It fucks their hearts hard
Cannot really compare them to slightly chubby people that do live longer
>>
>>77501952
Being fat does you no favors and is harmful. Some blubber is okay if you are outdoorsy type for that reserve of energy.
>>77502495
>Because thanks to science and research people realized that traditional bulking is fucking retarded
Tradition bulking was always made for roiders by roiders. Millions of natties fell for that shit because they didnt know any better and they turned into fat powershitters because of it.
>>
>>77501952
Everyone who told you that being fat looks good hopped on glutides as soon as they've heard about it.
>>
i'm aiming for my natty builtfat peak

not for something gay like looks but for strength and survivability

p sure my builtfat friend is on roids tho given how his voice has dropped and how quickly he built up
>>
>>77501952
We have abandoned the mistaken idea of "brah i lift for functional strength bearmode haha wrestle bear on the mountain dude dirty bulking gomad lift truck dude"

Now people have finally realized that eating 2000kcal over tdee to fuel the massive demand 25 squat reps/week impose on you is retarded
>>
>>77502927
Fat doesn't make you stronger or more functional, dummy. Fat is metabolically active and makes you unhealthy. "Strength and survivability" is just bodybuilding with less focus on V taper/bis and more focus on core/legs/back.
>>
>>77502956
read a book

subcutaneous fat is less metabolically active and is protective and insulative

visceral fat is what's bad

but please do go on like a fucking retard for my amusement
>>
>>77501952
You probably aren't getting much more built let's be honest
>>
>>77502961
But this is neglecting to account for the benefits of eating a lot all the time which results in you getting fat but is better than maintaining. You aren't simply healthier the less fat you have.
>>
>>77502961
Delulu.

Subcutaneous fat releases cytokines and adipokines. By total count, it's the main source of those compared to visceral fat. By relative measure, visceral releases more, but that's only by relative.

You don't need insulation. We have clothes. Fat isn't "protection", fat fighters get folded by liver/solar plexus shot same as lean ones. If fat was in any way protective, all shw boxers would be obese.
>>
>>77502965
You are simply healthier the less fat you have up until 10%bf for males.
>>
>>77502979

>>
>>77502984
>>77502987
This retard thinks "wearing clothes" is ai lmfao.

Longevity studies using bf% show underweight people are unhealthy, and that 15-22%bf is best for longevity. A normie at 10%bf is underweight because a normie has no muscle mass. That skews BMI longevity studies a bit.
>>
>durr they're taking ozempic!!
ozempic is for actual fatties with no self control. Guys who lift heavy and are at 25% bodyfat are not taking that. They have the self control to get leaner if they wanted to. They don't want to.

Again, no one actually likes being fat, and it's not because of beauty standards.
No one enjoys getting winded walking up a flight of stairs. No one enjoys their knees hurting all the time. No one enjoys having trouble standing up from their bed in the morning. No one enjoys sleep apnea. No one enjoys always being sweaty. No one likes the rancid body odor. No one likes struggling to get up if they fall.
People aren't fat because they enjoy it. They're fat because being lean is hard for them. As soon as a drug came out that made it easy to not be fat, no one is making the choice to stay fat

I've only seen people online that use ozympic and actually get skinny or underweight even. The rest get just overweight instead of being super obese and they just give up. Waaah it's too hard to make any more progress past that point, bizarrely though consider themselves a success story. They went from class two or three obese down to just overweight, then stay there. They also like to call themselves Fitness Experts because they lost any weight at all, it does not dawn on them at all that they didn't actually finish the job or learn any discipline.

Roughly 20% bf here. Muscular underneath with capped delts big tris and a huge back so u less I take off my shirt I look jacked.
Have access to all kinds of gear and tirz/reta, but fucking refuse to cut right now because I'd lose out on at least 2 months of gains going back to single digits.

Haven't been lean in a couple years now so I've forgotten the feeling, but I remember preaching life starts sub 10% bf. Maybe it's true idk

i have a bmi of 22 and abs but i'm working towards builtfat because it's optimal for most goals that aren't marathon running

what you're trying to do is derail the thread with barely related bullshit

builtfat people at 25% are not the average outofshape fatfuck, which you're forcing into the discussion

because you're a twink faggot

nevermind the fact that the person in OP's pic (mark bell) lost 130 lbs for the sake of his health. but let me guess, you weren't talking about him, nor were you talking about the general case of an average 25% bf person, you're just talking about some nebulous ideal your 'years of researching combat sports' has led you to believe in
>>77504022
wrong on both points, though i am getting close to 25% (i'll start cutting about 1 month from now)
>>
>>77504039
>the general case of an average 25% bf person
which is not someone who is builtfat, thus unrelated tot he topic

>lost 130 lbs for the sake of his health
if it were really for his health and not his vanity he would have left some fat on
>>
>>77504050
it's also naive to assume that someone who's builtfat has good cardio. they're actually up there as the prime examples of how musculature != good health. on the contrary most builtfat guys take a pathetic kind of ironic pride in doing no cardio; rugby props, NFL defensive linemen and SHW boxers are the exception, not the rule
>>
>>77504068
but that exception is the pinnacle of performance, durability, and longevity (given they did gymnastics) and is thus worth talking about and attaining

most builtfats don't have great cardio but they could

anyway not like cardio by itself does much for health and longevity, look at the studies, running/cycling shit is mostly just a cult

Those two months of gains would be eclipsed by the gains you'd have starting from low insulin sensitivity at 10% bf post cut.

Because anything above 15% bodyfat is just fat. Nobody can tell the difference between built fat and fat if you have a belly. It doesn't matter that there is muscle under that layer of blubber. Get lean or you are nothing more than another fatty.
>>
>>77501952
It isn't. It's all on youtube because everyone you are watching is getting older. Once you get to a certain age there is no "built fat", only fat with health problems or leaned out and more athletic.

I want opinions on this theory:
if you're looksmaxxing you want to be trim cut AND muscular. Only power lifters for the sheer numbers care about having moderate to more fat while prioritizing muscle development. Cardio folks like swimmers and runners don't want that bulk.
We've become fatter because of our diets and the way food is produced and manufactured in our first world society. There are less labor intensive jobs out there that are enough to build muscle and beef up on their own, but for those that do them they are subjected to the same pitfalls of unhealthy eating as the regular fat people and become too fat to be left pic. Ergo left is rarer because the people who would look like that today are mostly either fatter from not caring or skinner from specific training and goals.
>>
>>77503802
Yeah, just look at the Ozempic commercials. The weight loss claimed is nothing special, like "10 to 15% of bodyweight in 6 months with diet and exercise". Nigga, that's what anyone could do without peptides in 6 months! Main market for peptides is fatties who think any hunger pang or discomfort is "starvation" + thin women enabling their ED.

its a lot like gastric bypass: you wte SUPPOSED to feel less of a desire to overeat or eat certain foods, but if you have the routine baked in so deep into your brain or if you just genuinely went to eat you will try to eat like that anyway and just feel like shit afterwards. I could see the irony being disciplining yourself to take your GLP1 despite your body's fear of jabbing yourself with the agent that is discomforting you.
Correct me if I'm wrong, they don't even reduce your stomach capacity, just the rate of digestion, correct? You feel fuller because you are still full simply because your body is breaking it down at half speed.
>>
>>77503327
It works primarily through suppressing hunger, doesn't it?
So probably does nothing for people who are fat because they just habitually eat 24/7, regardless of the question if they feel any hunger or not.

Looksmaxxing means athletic.

No job on the planet will get you actually looksmaxxed. Manual labor is about coordination and endurance. Looksmaxxing has a certain level of classism built into it, hence you want the leisure-built athletic look.
