41 year old retired powerlifter with visible abs checking in here. Fuck dad bods and fuck the idea you are going to look the same at 45 as 22 with bad eating/exercise habits.  I went to my 20 year high school reunion a few years ago, and here were all of about 4 of us that appear to be on a continued fitness regimen since high school. It was shocking, disturbing and very disappointing to see how everyone, even other former athletes had let themselves go so much.  Are there any other vain motherfuckers here but me? - Was my main thing I was thinking the whole time. Shit I'm as lazy as the next guy, but I'm also vain and want to look good when I take off my shirt at the lake, and that vanity outweighs the laziness and I put in my damned work!  Why can't other folks do the same?
