This is a question Gyms

Getting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

Overdoing it
I myself get most of my exercise by walking everywhere (mainly motivated by being too tight to use the tube/buses), but I do work with a guy who's totally gym obsessed, to the point that if he doesn't go for more than one day he starts moaning that his muscles feel like they're shrinking.

Thing is, he thinks he looks incredibly buff and manly and ripped, and all these things, and he's kind of right, but he's got to the point now where he's so ripped that he just looks... well... gay. The skinhead doesn't help.

I would struggle to point to exactly where the line is, but there is a line, and when you cross the line, you go from looking buff to looking like you should be in gay porn. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with looking like that, but I really don't think it's the impression most of these men intend to give.

Famous example of this: Vin Diesel.

so the limit is
When you've got rid of your man-boobs and then put them back on again as muscle...

The borderline would be when they need a moustache or the gay-porn thing doesn't work.

Maybe the line
is the difference between looking muscly, and looking like you take steroids.
