HammerjackHappy Zero Cool Day!
tetris11They’re all jacked because back then the keyboards were so stiff and the patch cables were so heavy that joining a network and typing in your login credentials burned more calories than a half marathon
tomkattThat’s your idea of jacked? They look like scrawny kids.
Tarquinn2049To be fair, the more built guys in the scene are what jacked looked like before it was common for normal people to just take steroids. They certainly aren’t what someone that devoted enough time to computer hacking to be the best at it looked like. Since it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.
Are we looking at the same picture? Zero Cool has the best physique of the bunch and he’s only “fit”. None of their bodies require 4 hrs of gym time a day, unless they’re trying to burn through like 4k calories using only a flat treadmill.
Go back and look at what people who spent hours in a gym per day looked like 50 years ago. Exercise hasn’t changed, the only thing that has changed is what people take while exercising. It’s even become common for people to admit they are taking steroids and not be ashamed of it anymore.
Back when this movie came out, that was a 4 hours a day gym body.
I get what you’re going for, 100% things have shifted. Absolutely true.
But I’m not taking steroids, and I’m not spending 4 hours a day at the gym, and I basically have the same arms as that guy. At least in this photo. Maybe he’s more jacked than he looks in the rest of the movie, I haven’t seen it in a while, and I don’t have shredded abs or anything. I’m not impressively fit. But I have arms that look kinda like that.
I think you’ve taken the steroids thing, which again is a legit thing, and maybe swung fully in the other direction and decided any muscle at all is a modern creation? Some dudes have arms. Just, attached to their shoulders.
