this is a serious question.

does anyone know if woz lifted weights or participated in any other kind of serious athletics when he was younger? he's always very fit and muscular in early pictures and as many athletes do, he's gained some weight in later years.

i only ask because some contemporary biopic films/representations have portrayed him as out of shape in his early years and that's clearly bullshit.



I suspect what's going on is that he was chubby by early-70s standards, and so contemporary representations start with chubby-by-2010s standards and blow that up for effect. (I've wondered about this too.)


Exactly what I was thinking - he seems to have pretty muscular forearms if he wasn't working out.


Hollywood lives on shoveling stereotypes. Good catch.
