Here To Teach Us About The Ultimate Dad Bod
God of War is many things, none of which are good places for workout advice. Don’t let that stop you from trying to get a body like Kratos, however. This is the message inadvertently being sent by a recent cover of Men’s Health Singapore.
A Redditor pointed out this cover after spotting it in the wild. Notable highlights include ‘how to build the ultimate dad bod’ and ‘build the body of famous fantasy heroes!’ Do any of these tips include hiring a team of artists and 3D modelers? Perhaps there’s also a step about building a motion capture setup in your workout room?
While I want to disparage these sorts of idealized body types, mainly the kind that don’t exist, fictional characters can be great inspiration. Kratos here is actually a somewhat achievable body type, aside from the baffling skin tone. If seeing the God of War on the cover of a magazine inspires people to go out there and get shredded, great! Even if you never look quite like Kratos, you’ll still be looking and feeling good, I assume. Good enough to rip some beleaguered deity’s head right off, maybe.
