people definitely have their perceptions skewed but if Will took off his shirt and flexed people would change their minds really quick. Clothes play a huge role for people who are built like Will.

4:49 is my favorite guy for sure! He is so nice, love his personality stay blessed my dude.

As a lower weight guy, I totally relate to this. I think the baggy t-shirt is part of the issue too. I'm around 170 pounds and look like a "civilian", so to speak, if i'm not wearing something tight or a tank. Knowing I can bench into the 300's though, and the years of work it took to get there, makes me not care too much about their perception, lol. Non-gym people just look for biceps and if those aren't pumped and flexed, or you aren't a 250 pound social media monster whose arms stretch out an XXL sweater, they can't calculate.

This video blew my mind. I go hard in the gym every day, eat my egg whites and chicken breast but still my physique is nowhere even close to Will. The fact that these groups of couch potatoes and the beer gut bods rated him at a 2 or below shows that people just have no idea what they are talking about or how much hard work, willpower and dedication it takes to be in shape like Will is. My takeaway - fitness is for you and you alone. You cant maintain your fitness because other people will notice and give you compliments because people just don't know and don't care. Push yourself in the gym only for you - thats the way its gotta be.

It's like people who are trained designers are able to perceive more colours than untrained people. Since regular folks don't spend their time comparing bodies they mostly just see someone's overall size and not much finesse.

Normal people brains don't model the edge of the distribution. People differentiate different degrees of obesity and sloppiness. People don't differentiate fit vs shredded vs huge. That's why gymcels exist. Once you're fit and healthy, it all genetic facial structure. Nobody cares if you are fit or huge. Depression in the eyes and other subtle cues matter far more than muscle mass for the way people will judge you.

Will, this is the most important video you've done, for the reasons you explained at the end. I found it illuminating that the people who quickly answered yes to, 'does it look like I work out,' also work out, and that the folks who answered no or were ambivalent look like they clearly don't. It takes one to know one.

Nothing surprising. People who aren't experts don't learn to spot details. It's the same everywhere. In music, average pop music listeners can't differentiate a good 2-3 year amateur and a concert musician. Professionals in every field battle among each others on micro details that nobody care about outside of it. Success most often comes from being good enough at several skills, not being best in the world in a single domain. Engineering + business + marketing or music + acting + fashion.

People who don't workout can't understand how hard it is to put on size naturally. For someone who knows, Wills thickness in his chest arms shoulders etc is clearly evident he works out 4-5x a week and has been doing so for years

Bro you're my inspiration after 16 years of not lifting that I'm now 3 months into my journey.

Seeing such a massive guy like Will, who`s on top tier Natty being consistently called a TikToker gave me an existencial crisis. I`m 81kg, 20% body fat on my way to a leaner physique (I`ve lost more than 20kg). Got a bit lazy last year and let the ball drop a bit and I`m now trying to get back into working out and eating healthier, and doing a decent job so far. But most of why I keep doing it and having the motivation it`s simply because I hate myself and desperately am trying to change how I look, and I specially hate my belly. I`ve lost weight all around my body, even my butt - which I liked very much - but the godamn gut never seemed to disappear. I swear if I could pay for surgery, I would. What the fuck did the media do to our perceptions man? Sometimes it feels like an irreversible damage, it`s so maddening.

If anything people were being too generous giving him 3s based on the picture he chose given the ~50lb difference.

@@moose6459 It's not about the flex, but to show that depending on how your body fat, you're going to look bigger in different clothes and/or without any clothes on top. For example, if you're just dirty bulking your way up, you're going to look way bigger in clothes at some point, making you look like the ultimate beast. On the other hand, if you keep your body fat low, you're actually going to look way more impressive shirtless. It'd be to teach people how much people's idea of your physique change according to your choice of clothes and body fat. Another interesting part is that regular t-shirts make you look a lot smaller to the average person than muscle shirts do (at least if your arms and shoulders are developed, which they are on Will). Simply the length of his sleeves hid the shape of his upper arms, making him look a lot smaller. The width of his t-shirt also hid his lat pretty well.

will i really appreciate the amount of time and hard work you put in your amazing contents. and i really like you bro, i guess there are 2 reasons they called u tik toker :D. 1 your t-shirt sleeves are concealing your arms a little bit more than they should (cause you have nice arms). and 2 even tough u got a very good natty body, as every person can become even better, i guess you could work a little bit more on your shoulders (mainly Lateral head) and get even better than you are right now. as your arms are too big, the make your shoulder look kind of small, you shoulder should definitly be bigger than your arms to achieve even better look. i'm not a troll bro, love u the way u are, but if getting better is the case that was my suggestion. respect bro

The only people who call him a 3-4-5 are people who are actually in shape themselves. Real respects real.

This video proves that the average person walking down the street is less likely to realize the efforts we put in to self-improve. Conclusion is if you workout you do it for yourself and nobody else because in the end you are the only one aware of how much work and dedication it took to be the person you are today!

My fav part was that arm wrestle. That was a great match!

I honestly think people got confused. When you walk up to strangers with a mic and start asking "social experiment" questions, and then ask them to line you up on a scale of 'genres' and not just physiques, they'll choose the first thing that stands out, which is a Tik Toker, because that's what those influencers mainly do. They were rating you based on how closely you correlated to that job, not necessarily to that physique.
