Started my fitness journey during covid and one thing I can recommend which is non-obvious to those who haven’t been training all their lives is progressive overload:

If you’re doing 20 pushups this month, do 21 next month, then 22 the month after, etc. Keep pushing yourself and you’ll get stronger than you ever though possible. Take it at your own pace though, if you push too hard it’s easy to hurt yourself.

Same here! I thought it must’ve been for the Brisbane Olympics, not the ones bloody 4 years ago.

I prefer bands like Skepticism, Impaled Nazarene, and Desecresy personally but each to their own 😉

Wait til you hear their music

As usual it is a matter of education and normalisation. I’m a rock climber and am surrounded by shredded people a lot of the time. I’m sitting at around 18-20% body fat which is high for the sport but I am considerably leaner than the guy in your photo.

I can absolutely tell that he is overweight (even with clothes) but that’s because I have invested a lot of time into learning about health and fitness and spend most of my time with people who have a ‘healthy’ BMI. If all you see are overweight and obese people every day then of course you will look at this guy and think he looks perfectly healthy (which he might well be but that’s another discussion).
