Of course there is a significant time distance between those photos - Ruhl's is from Miss Olympia 2000, Chalamet's is from 2024

I've always wondered if those muscles actually work. I mean, they look like all the strength they give you will simply be required to move that mountain of flesh around, with little surplus remaining for, you know, moving other stuff.

    If you're asking if a high level bodybuilder is strong, the answer is absolutely yes. That guy will bench press 400 pounds for reps .

    If you're asking whether their strength to weight ratio is the highest a human can get them the answer is no, not even particularly close. Turns out that the exercise approach you need to achieve hypertrophy (muscle soze growth) is different from what you need to achieve strength gains, though they're obviously related.

    Plus Timmy's dick likely works way way better.

    It's simplified (because i forgot the details) but basically, they are mostly the initial kind that needs more space and didn't get replaced with the effective kind. This also only happens to that extent, if you help it with chemicals.
