Mark D Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I somehow missed the whole Dadbod thing until I saw the video on Broscience yesterday. By all that's good and Holy, kill it. With fire. A lot. Then mix the ashes with salt and scatter them to the four winds. 1 My character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/58572/ Current Challenge:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/83683-mark-d-walks-up-to-a-barbell/ Previous Challenges: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Link to comment

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Having a borderline dadbod (on the high end), I'm for the dad bad movement. I think the dad bod examples they give are probably my best case scenario long term. 1 Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Cat in the rack Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I don't think I understand what it is, the body type of a dad? So someone who's too busy working and spending time with their kids to devote much time to being physically fit? I have a feeling this will be one of life's many fads I never truly get, like meerkat adverts or jaegermeister.

Silo Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm surprised he had pizza, and not a bowl of that "horrifying diarrhea sludge" "abominable garbage-gravy" "jailhouse spaghetti" called Skyline Chili http://foodspin.deadspin.com/tag/skyline Full Disclosure: Although I'm from Jersey, I am proud of my family's Michigan Heritage I completely agree that Skyline Chili is sludge. Ick. I don't even consider Cincinnati part of Ohio. The only time I think about that town is when I read some sort of internet article that purports to list something representative of Ohio. Probably 80% of the time they list something from Cincinnati, which is pretty much in Northern Kentucky. 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

insanity Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 may be considered body acceptance for men.Which is great, the issue with this sudden dadbod thing is that in the original article, one of the reasons for liking it amounts to we want you to be the fat ugly friend, so we look better standing next to you. There's a confidence builder when you get told how nice of a dadbod you've got.The rest of the reasons scream female insecurity... 2 "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

matty_mcfly Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Back to an actual "overheard in the gym..." So last Friday I was in the gym a bit later in the morning than I usually am, but there were a ton of new faces that I had never seen lifting in the morning before. These two 18 or 19 year olds sign up and are walking around the gym giddy as fuck looking at the equipment. I smile, cause I know that feeling of pure joy walking into a real strength or strongman gym, it's hard not to be giddy. I help them set up chains and watch them bench between my sets. I'm in my own head doing leg extensions and hear a huge crash...then 5 seconds later another huge crash. 275lbs of plates came crashing to the ground. The bencher's spotter was bright red, apparently he misloaded one side of the bar. They reloaded the bar (with the correct weight) and the kid proceeded to hit an ugly PR of about 300 or 305. 4 "I can. I will.

I've heard excerpts of the original article and the author admits to being insecure. I think there was something about her not wanting a man with a ripped body because it makes her insecure at the beach and that women are insecure enough in bikinis that they don't need their partner's to have great bodies.
