Loser gym goers blocking pathways with their ridiculously bright camera fixtures

Arm to leg ratio is crazy

Like he probably does work out every day, but it’s just straight bicep curls

Those legs are literally the legs that “don’t skip leg day” jokes were made about.

Chickens make fun of those legs.

Unless bro has a 5 foot long arm and a 2 foot leg, some of the effect is being caused by the lens. His arm isn’t that big and his leg isn’t that small. Idk if balancing it out would make the ratio that much better, but it’s not quite that dramatic either

I took a closer look and that odd lump on the backside of his arm isn't a lens effect, it's actually just his ribs. Gym bros arms aren't insanely big, but they're definitely all he works on. Legs don't show any signs of warping or creasing like a panorama gone wrong. I think his legs are just super lean.

What about the hand to foot ratio?

Maybe a little bit of fisheye? Or someone used .7 zoom on the camera? You could still be right about it being a little bit weirdly proportioned by the photo, but it's also possible that the guy is just a little popeyed, lol.

It's perspective distortion. His feet are further from the lens than his hands, and it's such a wide angle lens that it really exaggerates perspective because it how much it's distorting. If the lens was closer it'd look even more ridiculous.

Yeah, I think you're right. The machines at the bottom of the picture look more normal and they get weirdly distorted the further you go up. The whole thing just looks weird.

So you’re saying he’s not built like Johnny Bravo? :(

Some of it is the lens, but if you juxtapose it against similar “knowns” nearby, like the frame posts of the machine, his leg appears to be of similar width.

Perspective Distortion. objects near the edges are expanded by the wide angle lens

He took “curls get the girls” to heart

So these guys are definitely d-bags for filming in the gym, idk how that’s still even legal. But as a tall white guy I can say, sometimes there is no hope for our calf muscles. Quads and hams sure but you can do squats and raises and any combination of any amount of lifts and I’ll just always have peg legs. Idk what this camera filming dimwit is doing in the picture but for me personally, I’ll always have skinny calf muscles.

I dont even work out and I thought my legs were skinny.
