It’s very interesting to see how what is considered a fit healthy body has changed over time. Just take a look at the original Star Trek series - William Shatner was often wrestling with various aliens with his top off - at the time he would have been considered a prime specimen.
This started changing back in the 80s with the popularity of Schwarzenegger and later Stallone.
In many ways, the unrealistic body expectations that used to be applied mostly to women are now applied across the board.
