Part 4/9:
Moving into the heart of bodybuilding, the speaker offers a classification guide to male body types based on muscle volume and body fat percentage. Starting with the baseline, a man standing at approximately 5’9” with a body fat percentage under 10% and minimal muscle mass could significantly range from a rather lean individual to someone resembling a professional athlete.
As muscle is added while maintaining body fat, various stereotypes such as “skinny fat” and “dad bod” emerge through the layers of achievement. The distinctions made extend across various body fat percentages—from “white collar dad bod” to “powerlifter” and comedic classifications like “Transcendence”—making light of the often oversimplified view of male physiques.
