That was not considered comically overweight in the 90s or any decade.
That was never considered comically obese. Though, in 1990, only 12% of the US was considered obese. It’s like 32% now. So obesity has increased since the 90s.
If you’re working out 5 days a week and don’t have the physique you’re after, you need to do different work outs. If you’re trying to slim down, lifting weights 5 days a week and cramming protein powder is the wrong workout
A lot of people don’t want to face that what needs to change is diet.
So true. There’s also just a ton of bad info we all grow up with telling us that exercising for fat loss is viable, ya know? Hell, even the cardio machines (AKA the first place at the gym most new folks go when they wanna make a change) has settings for “fat burn”. Which isn’t…wrong, I guess, but it’s super misleading, if you don’t already know whassup.
Plenty of denial going around (my own included at times 😅) but dang, just getting solid info is a minefield.
This advice is so incomplete as to be pretty unhelpful at best. Not trying to be a jerk, but A) the kinds of workouts you’re doing don’t have much at all to do with weight loss, and B) the number of people for whom too much protein powder is the reason they can’t lose weight is…I mean, it just must be vanishingly small. These are not the reasons most people who want to be slimmer are not, even the ones who are real active.
There are a lot of people who don’t realize that different workout regiments accomplish different things. They follow some shredded dude on insta who shares their workout, and they think if they do the same thing, they’ll look like them.
If you wanna be shredded and you’re over weight today, you have to slim down before you bulk up
Also, in reference to the pic from op, That dudes strong already. If they want to look “better,” more weights isn’t the answer
I just think it’s really conflating two separate things. Weight loss (or gain) is primarily, overwhelmingly controlled by diet. The ~10% influence exercise has just doesn’t leave much room for exercise choice to influence the weight loss goal much. In fact cardio and especially HIIT can really make the brain feel super hungry, and work against dietary goals. Anecdotally and I believe supported by literature.
So for the things that exercise and choice of exercise really contribute to, sure, choose them wisely so that they align with your goals.
But in general, people who want to lose weight should focus on diet almost entirely. And separately, almost anyone looks better with more and stronger muscle. But yeah, they’re distinct goals with very different strategies. Sounds like you do agree about that.

message received. i’ll now lift protein powders and cram weights.
Up voting because lol.
Doing that, changing your eating habits and not eating the protein powder is the right workout.
The ninetees WERE really fuckel weird in certain circles. It is the decade that gave us pro-ana forums afterall. Never really applied in this way to grown men though.
Don’t think this guy was alive in the 90s
His first big role was on Cheers, from 1984-1993.
No shit. I’m referring to the comment.
Definitely not a “comically overweight” body in the 90s
With that winning personality I can see you choose your username wisely.
