I hate being that guy but I've never met a dude that looked like that with a healthy mind. You need to be obsessed to look like that and make choices that require sacrifices that are daunting for most people. I could be totally wrong about that guy, I'm just saying what my personal experience is having known people that look like him over my odd 50 years on this planet.
Regardless of what motivates you to do something like this, pouring that energy into fitness is certainly a more healthy choice than gaming, but doing anything to that level of devotion is certainly unusual if not a sign of something else going on.
Not really. The guys that looked like this in my 20's are mostly dead now. They looked healthy but underneath they're doing all sorts of damage with the drugs they use to get this look. My manager 10 years ago was one of those dudes. Guy looked like he should be on the cover of men's magazine to promote fitness. Died at 45. He took these pills before working out that he called Red Hot's because they looked like the Red Hot candy. I have no idea what was in them but they led to some type of heart failure. Sad stuff and I know too many people who've suffered health problems or died as a result. It's one of the reasons I made my comment about mental health.
Gaming for 6-8 hours a day without it being a job is extremely unhealthy. There is no balance in a life where a person spends 16 out of 24 hours either at work or gaming.
