Schwarzenegger actually wrote a huge book about being swole that explains everything, and in it he explains a bodybuilder about to go to competition is at his weakest and that bear-looking dudes could basically just kill him. A lot of effort goes toward explaining that building up but losing fat is getting your body to do two opposing things and it requires a lot of trickery and pain. The more into it I got the more respect I had for men I previously thought were ugly, slow or muscle-bound - there's absolutely no such thing, only the realization that you are now capable of breaking your own bones in seconds and that society is based largely around people who can't lift a 50lb box. After you actually get strong in a way that's not a joke you'll have a completely different concept of what it means to have a body. What this reveals is that bodybuilders are even worse people than you might believe, they're ignoring a whole world of healthy glory for your attention. Anyone with a 6-pack is putting a shit-ton of effort into getting attention to the point it's automatically untrustworthy. It's almost always the badge of a horrible, desperate striver that would tattle on you to HR to get ahead.
Like I've had a pack before but I look back on those days and just see someone who has nothing and thinks he can trick everyone into giving it to him
