    AI or myostatin related muscle hypertrophy? Tigers are strong, but they have loose skin and don’t look like that unless something is wrong.

      That has to be painful for them, right? My first instinct was to laugh but then I thought maybe that’d be mean to YACKED KITTY-BEAR

      I’m gonna say AI. The stripes look cartoonish and there’s something weird about the pose.

        The img predates ai… So no it’s not ai. Tigers are just jacked as fuck. When they are relaxed the skin is saggy yeah, but when they actually flex or are in a pose that tightens the skin the muscles are normally very defined.

    I read a book on rock climbing years ago that said the reason big cats in captivity were so toned was because they are constantly tensing their muscles. It’s a display of dominance over other cats in the enclosure. The point being that rock climbing even though it doesn’t provide cardiovascular exercise will tone the muscles.

    I don’t get how people even have time to workout. My work is right next to a gym and I can see outside sometimes and the lot there is ALWAYS full. You would think I have the time to go myself but gotta commute and then do chores… so nah.

      Start with something small, being fit is not just about being jacked. After being like you, I’ve taken up the challenge of doing 10k pushups this year. It might sound like much but it only comes to around 30 per day. You just have to be consistent. I’m on day 84 today and have only missed one day so far. I have begun adding skipping a rope on days that I can. I’m already seeing improvement in my posture and back ache and that alone keeps me motivated.

      My motivation was this post: https://wjgilmore.com/articles/10000-pushups

      You can do it too. I believe in you.
