anyway, i used to work out with this guy and he told me this story from when he was in the air force that still makes me laugh. so in the military you get tested to qualify for advancement on physical fitness and of course there’s a gym generally wherever for support personnel etc to work out, plus PT i guess. anyway, he’s a gym bro type guy, so that’s all the motivation he needs to make this his hobby when he’s on some base where he can’t really leave anyway without a big hassel. anyway, he was telling me about “work out mags” and how they were always just around. people buy them and read them for workout ideas or meal ideas and then leave them in the gym instead of tossing them. of course, this is what he believes is happening 100% because he’s like a naive 19 year old kid. he’s relating the story to me like 6 years later. anyway, one day he finds this magazine (“i don’t remember the name, i thought they were all the same more or less”) at the base gym and takes it home to look through it, but starts to furrow his brow (i wish i could imitate the face he made, just total confusion) and is like, “damn, this workout mag sucks. there’s no workout or meal ideas in it, it’s all just photos of jacked guys.” then he turns the page and it’s some steely-eyed himbo in his underwear with his thumb pulling down the band, and he’s like, “wait a minute… what kind of workout magazine is this?” and that was how he learned about beefcake magazines.
after he related that story, we just referred to working out as “beefcake” or “beefcaking”. which, after a while, you forget you’re doing. and then somebody is like, “wait, what did you say you guys doing tomorrow morning before class and why does it involve a ‘quick shower’ after?”
