He has the face for Hollywood so why put himself though get grueling training for strongman comp? He makes millions, bangs Lisa Bonet, and sustains himself on vats of beer.
Women like what theyâre used to. My wife claim she couldnât imagine being with a little guy now, sheâd break him, but she thought she liked the âSwimmerâ build once upon a time.

@dextermorgan, I have those weights too⊠Work well with an athlean-x program. Need more weight in certain exercises, but does the trick.

The encouraging thing about this conversation is that the âbody that appeals to most womenâ doesnât actually require that much dedication. For example, I currently work out 6 times a week, but that makes other parts of life difficult, and I imagine will be virtually impossible when I have kids.
Itâs good to know I can have what most would consider a âgreat physiqueâ with, say, 3 high-quality workout days a week coupled with good food intake.

If you can hold onto that stuff while raising kids then that is a real accomplishment. Especially the first few years. But really you just need to appeal to your partner who should be very understanding when it comes to those types of changes if youâre an all-in parent. Welcome to no longer being your priority.

Something has to give for sure â if youâre lifting 6 days a week, maybe you can still be an amazing partner, but your career or friendships or something else will suffer. That said, I think itâs possible to do a great job in those other categories while still lifting 3 days a week â it isnât too much to fit into the schedule and I think most partners would be fully onboard with that.
Food recommendation: Tumaroâs Wraps
Theyâre delicious and the macros are crazy: 60 cals, 12C 5P 2F.
Iâll routinely eat 2 of these with 6 oz deli turkey, spinach, and honey mustard. The macros for that meal: 287 cals, 33C 38 P 7F.
Deli meat may not be the best thing, but itâs not terrible, and itâs very convenient.

Hey man, whatever works in the relationship. Ive always been a Family > Health > Career type of guy. The career will always suffer first followed by health in order to maintain family.

Interesting. I didnât grow up in a close-knit family. Maybe for that reason, if Iâm being honest, Iâm generally a Career > Health > Family guy. That said, I know thatâll all change when I have kids, because my wife supersedes everything.
You seem open to the inevitable change which I think is good. Be pliable.
Shout out to Brady! 
bmbrady77 or that Tom guy?
Lol, the Tom guy, though BMbrady is better in my book
Well I guess I donât get the shout out either way LOL
Oh. LOL. I donât follow football. I might have to stop using that word else people think Im some sort of Brady guy. Or fuck everyone else and he doesnât own that word.

Just had a thought, and feel free to not answer this if itâs too personal: whatâs your wifeâs size? I think differences in a femaleâs size impact preferences.
For example, my wife loves the swimmer look, but sheâs a foot shorter than me and barely even 100 pounds. So if I get shredded at 170, Iâm still way bigger than her.
There is also something to note here about love. I have always adored my wife and my sexual preferences have changed through the years as her shape has changed. Her shape has literally governed what I find most attractive. So maybe @hardartery 's wife canât imagine being with a small guy now simply because she is in love with him.

Thatâs a really important point. My wifeâs shape hasnât changed â weâve only been together 5 years â but Iâm sure my preferences could change as her body changes. Iâd love her at any size.
