    AI or myostatin related muscle hypertrophy? Tigers are strong, but they have loose skin and don’t look like that unless something is wrong.

      That has to be painful for them, right? My first instinct was to laugh but then I thought maybe that’d be mean to YACKED KITTY-BEAR

        The img predates ai… So no it’s not ai. Tigers are just jacked as fuck. When they are relaxed the skin is saggy yeah, but when they actually flex or are in a pose that tightens the skin the muscles are normally very defined.

    I read a book on rock climbing years ago that said the reason big cats in captivity were so toned was because they are constantly tensing their muscles. It’s a display of dominance over other cats in the enclosure. The point being that rock climbing even though it doesn’t provide cardiovascular exercise will tone the muscles.

    I don’t get how people even have time to workout. My work is right next to a gym and I can see outside sometimes and the lot there is ALWAYS full. You would think I have the time to go myself but gotta commute and then do chores… so nah.

    You misunderstood the “Men or Bear” question. It isn’t about having more muscle than the bear. It is just about begin nice.
