I think most of us recognize the fact that the images we see in adverts and on the feeds of pages like "Men's Health", aren't actually representative of men's health. You know the shirtless dudes with 0.69% bodyfat, ALL of whom are or have been on gear.
Eg, if i see an advert for a massage gun, i can almost guarantee it'll be accompanied by a highly edited photo of a big old bicep peak and six pack.
I get the reasons why. It's kind of hard to make a normal hairy, pasty white calf muscle look sexy. But it really doesn't help the average bloke with a sore lower back relate to it, or feel like he's on the right path to better health.
In a world where blokes are expected to look a certain way, and increasingly turning to steroids and other exogenous substances to achieve it, it annoys the shit out of me. What's the solution here? Ban shirtless advertising?!
