Would Michelangelo’s David pass a looksmaxxing audit? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve ever ventured into the fitness corners of social media, you may have come across influencers peddling the ideal of a “Greek god” physique. They may try and sell you supplements or programs to attain said ideal – or direct you to AI apps, like UMAX AI or Physiqmax, that purport to tell you whether or not you meet the standard.
