The porn fairy of the woods used to leave out magazines for boob men and the implants some of those women had were ludicrous. Not to mention every guy was roided out.
Glad there’s been a push in society to be accepting again of people and their body types. Even if porn today still falls into the same tropes of the 80’s and 90’s.
The Marvel movie note cannot be overstated. Just look at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in The Wolverine (2013) vs X-Men (2000). Being yoked is the prerequisite for superheroes now
Jackman is especially interesting because when he had that body in The Wolverine, I remember reading articles about how he was happy he got into the 1,000 lbs Club while training for that film. It’s powerlifting term for when your one rep max on your bench, squat and deadlift all add up to over 1,000 lbs. I remember that being my lifting goal when I read about that and when I hit it, I looked a lot more like X-Men Wolverine for sure haha It is surprisingly easy to hit the 1,000 lbs club and still look like a pretty normal guy.
Just goes to show how practical strength and Marvel looks don’t always have a lot of overlap. Those lats, traps and low body fat do most of the work for The Wolverine Jackman, rather than the quads, posterior chain and chest that do most of the work on powerlifting moves.
