So, how exactly did out ancestors: who didn't have any gym memberships get /fit/ and ripped? Or how about the people living in primitive parts of Africa?
How does one get shredded without going to the gym, that being said excercise is sill an option. Just no gym.
Spend all fucking day doing intense physical labor

It's hard to say if they were "ripped" and "shredded" like we assume them to be. Certainly, they were a lot healthier and fitter than us as all they would do is chase and haul all natural food around for survival.
Same reason apes are ripped m8
>>35222167
They threw rocks around and did pullups on trees
Boulder throw 5xfailure
I doubt they were swole, just low bf.

HIIT and functional strength
Starting sticks

if you actually worked a manual labour job you would see, most of the guys where i work are pretty muscular and they've only ever worked in this box factory
literally just do some heavy work 8 hours a day and you'll get gains as >>35222173

Why do they always put them in these gay ass poses?
Pretty much all human cultures did some form of strength training and martial arts.
Ancient cultures like Greeks and Romans lifted weights, dumbbells, and rocks.
The ancient Nordic peoples had a sport of rock carrying. To become a man you had a carry a heavy ass rock a certain distance.

I think both of those are subjective Anon.
On the fitness factor, forced adaptability can be somewhat proven as it was often survival of the fittest.
However fittest is being used for its double meaning here.
>fitness: the ability to survive to reproductive age and successfully reproduce
>fitness: the combined mental and physical health of an organism
For the first definition I completely agree, our ancestors beat the fuck out of each other and took bitches for their own.
About as fit as you could be in comparison to now.
As for the other portion that I feel is subjective.
We are far healthier now, we live almost 50 years longer on average, we have a much broader variety of genetic traits that make us well rounded (though we lose a lot more of our niche abilities).
Though your greatest ancestor might have been physically everything you desire, you must remember his mental health was the equal of a toddler to us today.
With the increase of mental health and adaptation came tools, which weakened your ancestors physically.
Until we come to you.

Cavemen probably didn't live until their 70s. But the more recent civilizations definitely did.

Sounds like you were a berry picker m80

They had weights and calisthenics, practically invented them, just didn't want/need to shell out cash to a place that had all that, like some people now. Fighting other jacked people and killing shit like T-Rexes, Sabertooth tigers/ other stuff that could tear you a new one and eating tons of protein, got early humans strong and lean.
So diet and proper exercise. Like now.
