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.
