Is having a "Dad Bod" really that bad?

[Henda]

being happy with a "dad bod" is a disgrace, especially young and single lads, men are not supposed to have tits as is so commonly accepted these days. I don't care to be lean, just like to be average bodyfat, lift, have a good degree of size while enjoying life. All these skinny fat "dad bod" young lads these days want fucking shot who think their plucked eyebrows and £120 shirt makes up for their disgusting skinnyfat physiques

Again, you help make my point. Nothing wrong with what you said. A healthy, modest approach.

Maybe I misunderstand the term 'dad bod' I thought it means looking like a pile of shit?

Depp rocking the healthy, dad bod.

Disgusting, no muscle tissue at all

Aesthetically pleasing? Probably not. Healthy bodyfat range? Absolutely.

Yes bodyfat not to bad, looks worse than it is as its on a little fag, would look a lot leaner if he carried a good amount of muscle

Unacceptable if < 55 years old

Partially okay if > 55 years old

Excuses for what? Where did I say that it wasn't healthy to eat right and exercise?

I am stating that extreme leanness isn't healthy.

I'm about 9% without having to diet and I have a better immune system, more energy and stamina than others with a higher bf. It only gets unhealthy when you use drugs and starvation to get down to the lowest possible body fat.

No, you are correct. A dad bod is just a fag that LLS and feels good about himself. Nothing more. Without the PC emasculation-approved beta-level feel goods, this would just be another fat pig that wouldn't dare to take his shirt off ever, the way that God intended.

Dad bods do not represent fat pigs. Would you classify the pics in this thread as fat pigs?

Shizz must be the only guy who posts on a bodybuilding forum who aspires to look like a bag of smashed assholes.

Stop making excuses, this shit is some of the worst bro science I've ever read.

Yeah, sez who on the whole 14-18 percent thing?  What, the quack medical industry that is creating junkies out of everyone?  The people who for 30 plus years said steroids didn't work?

This whole thread is one big attack on Mike OHearn.  I will not have it!

he is trying to generate replies

its classic drunken shizzo

to be fair this is quite a good thread idea

Is the bodybuilding and fitness lifestyle really healthy? Do calorie restrictions and sub 10% bodyfat levels, really promote wellness as a human being? Remember, we are still mammals. Our metabolisms were designed to carry some "safety fat", in case of starvation. Obviously, I do not advocate being a fat ass, because that also isn't healthy. 

This thread is about the guys/gals who take fitness to the extreme. Sorry, but it isn't any healthier than being obese, they are just on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I have been sick the most, when I have been at my leanest. Having a reasonable amount of fat on your body is healthy.

Of course that goes against what most fitness/bodybuilders strive for.

I can see it already......2016 will be the year of the shit thread on Getbig.

Two days into the new year and Shizzo and Howard have turned the G&O into their personal shitfest.

Right back at ya` shitbag!

The whole point of this thread was not to give excuses, nor to say that I wouldn't wish to have a body of a Greek God. The point of this thread was to state that carrying single digit bodyfat (while obviously looking better) was not as healthy as someone with mild fat storage (also known as dad bod) Mammals were designed to carry fat. Sure, evolution and the end of hunting and gathering, have made it so we don't need nearly as much as we used to, but the body functions at it's best with moderate fat stores.

Here is Matt Damon hanging on the ledge of dad bod status.

Wes, you need to take 2016 a little more seriously, there are millions of people starving in Ethiopia.





And they are still more massive than you!


Shitbag!

You're trying to justify being a fat bastard. You have a drink problem, we get it, training is hard while drunk

I wasn't justifying anything. Simply stating biological facts. Do you know what being a mammal means scientifically?

Mammals give birth to live young. Not eggs. The end.

LOL 


In all seriousness,have a safe and healthy 2016 dude.

Fellas, lets not get into an uproar here. You can still lift, carry muscle,  and have healthy, moderate fat stores.

I feel this gentleman's physique describes the above best.
