Sociology question: Did Crossfit replace the steroid bodybuilder look?

I found some older pictures of partying in the the late 90’s and even early 2000’s where I noticed several swole massive dudes in the background.

I remember in Baton Rouge that Triple A, The Station, Southdowns and Nightlife back in the day would have massive bodybuilding dudes in tight shirts.

You’d also see these massive dudes in Lafayette at Amanda Scott’s, Graham Central Station, Poet’s, and other various establishments.

Did the lean CrossFit look take the place of this once in style look?

I feel bad for all the most recent juiceheads who finally achieved that jacked look, only to look at all the meta dudes stealing their girl.

You just assume every baw that ain’t fat is doing to CrossFit?

No. They may be runners or just in great shape. I’m just remembering that you’d see way bigger dudes back in the day than you see now. That’s all.

What is the CrossFit look? You mean in shape?

Basically. Lean and ripped look.

The massive guys back in the day were more of a bodybuilding look.

It’s definitely the best way to learn terrible lifting and general exercise form.

Well that’s certainly true. Don’t see juice monkeys as much as you used to.

There’s a lot of posters in this thread who know nothing about CrossFit.

according to my woman, skinny, tall, and toned is much more attractive than you baws that are wider than you are tall, and a nice, smooth jaw line is better than hiding a double chin with an ugly arse beard. But lucky for everyone else, changes differ drastically from person to person.

Most importantly, you have to know how to dress if you’re between 17 and 30. Short socks and long shorts dry a pussy up fast as hell, especially paired with some sort of lame arse tennis shoes. And you’re better off thrifting a shirt that looks worn and retro, than buying a generic arse Nike shirt from TJ Max. And never, ever where a football jersey (unless you play football). Nothing screams man child like a football jersey.
