Flashback Friday: This Is The Ideal Male Body

For Flashback Friday we're revisiting "This Is The Male Body" a Twitter meme that came onto the scene last summer. It all started when conservative media personality Steven Crowder posted a photo of MMA fighter Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko to Twitter back in January. The picture, which was captioned "This is the ideal make body. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."

It wasn't until months later, in August of 2016, that the tweet began receiving attention. After it was reposted by user @playazball in response to one of Crowder's misogynistic tweets, others users started to take notice and began making their own versions of the tweet, usually sans typo. Here are some top-rated examples.
