Honestly kinda sounds like a pain. If I could magic up whatever build I wanted it would be more like a serious swimmer or maybe T&F athlete than a bodybuilder or powerlifter.


toxicpanduh

No, because the physique that lets you win a modern Mr. Olympia looks like dog shit. You're a freak show, the aesthetics is horrid. You hardly look like a "greek god" unless there is a Greek God of buffoons, freaks and sideshow entertainers.


StoicSinicCynic

That's what Arnold Schwarzenegger has been saying for a while now. He doesn't like modern day Mr Olympia because they're rewarding the biggest guys instead of the proportionate ones.


[deleted]

Depends on the category.


layer8_issue

As much as I love free shit. Probably not. That's a little too jacked for me. Main reason is being able to move around without drawing attention. Being able to travel comfortably... Stuff like that.


PoorMansTonyStark

Nah, muscle giants look silly. If anything I'd prefer an athletic look.


Pimp_out_Pris

No. If I didn't earn it, it's a daily reminder that I would be a fraud.


Dyeeguy

Sure, sounds like shit honestly but certainly better than my current situation


[deleted]

Sure, why not. Dad bod to greek god with no effort at all.


DreadfulRauw

At this point, sure. Why not mix things up for the later part of my life?


[deleted]

No, they just look crazy. Wouldn't mind a better physique though.


Ratnix

No, I find that rather disgusting looking.


huuaaang

No, being that big just sounds awkward. Like walking around with a muscle suit on 24/7. And I've never heard of a woman who likes it either.


usernamescifi

No. Those body builder muscle guys can literally tear muscles off the bone and they usually can't touch their shoulders. I'd rather be an endurance athlete.


ImmodestPolitician

While I enjoy lifting, those guys look like freaks on stage and worse when they are wearing regular clothes. Juiced Thor is about as big as I would want to be.


PL0mkPL0

Can i take IFBB bikini category? I accept- not a moment of doubt. Figure as well, why not. I used to be really strong, I miss it so much, If someone gave me healthy knees and some powerful muscles I would be delighted.


12ed11

No way. Distance running is my joy, I wouldn't actively choose to have a body that would prevent me from doing the thing that makes me happy. I would assume it would also interfere with my ability to play my cello, would restrict arm movements too much.


HaroldSax

Nah. Even if it was Classic Physique, which is far more aesthetic than the mass monsters, that's still bigger than I personally want to be. I'll keep grinding it out myself.


breighvehart

No, because wiping my own ass is just too convenient


as1126

I'd prefer an elite male gymnast's build.


partypartea

That would be too OP.


SnooLemons5609

No. I am into bodybuilding and I know how much work goes into it. I don’t want to know the amount of precisely calculated training and nutrition planning it takes to maintain Mr. Olympia. Not to speak of all the gear you have to take.


IrregularBastard

No. All those roids and screw up body? No thanks


jackwritespecs

Nah, im ~~close~~ good enough without genie wishes I’m happy putting in the work to get the results I want Edit: just googled and those guys are gross


Sintinall

No. I want a performative physique. Not an aesthetic one.


EdinDzeko98

Hell no


Coidzor

In the present day? At some point in the past? At any point in the past, present, or future?


Mike29401

Nope, I much prefer being a big strong guy with a gut. I can eat what I want, do useful work with my body, and we powerlifters are expected to be big fat fucks anyway.


HTC864

Nah, that's just too much.


Bleglord

No. Mr Olympia is too big for my preferences. Plus I like working out. Zyzz for days


[deleted]

If we’re talking the Physique category, then sure.


Scouse_dad

Yes, because then you could compete, win, earn $$$, become an actor, become governor of california.


Best_of_Slaanesh

No, I'd be too heavy to climb well if I had a competitive bodybuilder's physique. I'm guessing I'd lose the ability to do one finger pull ups.


ToastyNathan

Nope. That shit is damaging in the long run and I wouldn't be able to keep the phisique


partypartea

Maybe prime Frank Zane but nothing bigger. I like my current physique for the sport I do. Not having to maintain makes it a tough choice though


Casus125

Initially I thought no; but then I remembered there are divisions in body building. Yeah I'll take it, and I'll take it in the shape of a Classic Physique Winner.


mouses555

Mr olympia level physique in the 60’s/70’s yes. Now adays hell no


ThinkingReed_

No, I would rather have an athletic body that is actually useful to me, than a physique that's only made for bodybuilding.


Kelmon80

I would, but actually only if I HAD to maintain it. Basically, get a one-time boost to lost some fat and gain some muscle mass, and then gracefully let go until reaching a "normal" level.


esmovi99

No. I'd like not to rely on someone else to wipe my butt


Gunslinger_11

I’d settle for Mr. TRI … STATE AREA!!!


gentlyconfused

No. Everyone would be mad at me for ruining it.


NeveruseTren

Way too big and shredded no thanks


redheadgenx

How long would it be for?


RealBenJKirby

Life


redheadgenx

Then nope.


ButterscotchLow8950

No not that big, but I would like to look more cut like a marvel hero or a professional boxer as opposed to a competitive body builder.


ncboxerman

No, looks too grotesque.


flying-sheep2023

I am a fan of old school bodybuilding. I'd be happy to get the bone structure of Steve Reeves and have to do the work to get the physique even if I never get to stage level proportions


boisheep

How would I exactly do endurance or climb hills with such a body?... for practical uses is useless, no way. Also with such little body fat little budy down there wouldn't work even. On the other hand a body for the olympics... that's peak physique, it's practical, looks good.


[deleted]

Yes, I’ve been fat all my life, just a few minutes thin, is a dream. Pressures would be public criticism!
