Wow whoever wore those was a scrawny little fuck
Turns out fat fuckwits don't last very long in the arena. Look at paintings/statues/photos of the hardcore war heros, none of them are big dudes. Big dudes die easy outside of the pay-per-veiw bullshit you are used to worshiping.
I'm not thinking fat, I'm thinking muscular
Are you gonna tell me scrawny dudes were idealized and would out-battle tall muscular men?
Yes, being big with either fat or excess muscle slows you down a lot. Actual combat boils down to speed. Being tall is also a disadvantage.
They didn't have the steroids back then.
Lol I've never taken a steroid and those greaves are for a child IMHO
These are for the shins (form the knee down to the ankle) not the entire leg.
They also didn't have factory farming and supermarkets either.
