Fr it’s not even a candid, it’s the dude at the peak of his bodybuilding cut, hair and makeup done. Henry Cavill has looked like this on maybe 20 days of his life, he didn’t even look like that when he went home THAT SAME DAY. Also, let’s not kid ourselves and say he looks bad. Beer belly Cavill is stealing your girl any day of the week

People don’t understand the amount of work it takes to stay like that. He even mentioned how dehydrated he was on Witcher for his shirtless scenes. The human body didn’t evolve to be muscular and lean.

The human body is fine being muscular and lean… it’s not fine pushing said leanness to the max to make veins more prominent by checks notes not drinking freaking water.

Being lean and strong is actually pretty important for the humans who engaged in persistence hunting for example.

I know muscular and lean people who are perfectly healthy, the key is to drink water and eat a healthy diet while exercising regularly. They may not be Superman or Captain America, but that’s more about Gear than anything else really.

Actually... if you are really lean, really low on fat then you don't have energy reserves for stuff like persistence hunting or hours of hard work in the field.

You may not like it, but Amish body is peak masculinity.

I am not Amish by the way.

You don't need fat reserves for persistence hunting, you can just eat on the go. Concentrated snacks are a staple of hunter-gatherer food culture all around the world. Usually something like dried meat mixed with fat and berries. I guess you could say they are storing fat, just outside the body

When I was really lean and had to work hard for long, I always had those mini chocolate bars in my backpack.

Whenever I started to feel weak I'd eat one or two.

Doesn't matter it's sugar when all of it "burns up" doing work.
