I've personally always disliked the laocoon and his sons but he's an IDEALIZED bodybuilder and he's more of an exception than a rule. Also it is importate
Most bodies did have a defined musculature but it was no bodybuilder's body.
I mean, it's all good if the point of your art is to exctract something beautiful out of a freak's body or something but that's pretty much it. I don't think you can do it without your art looking like it belongs in a gay strip club though, but feel free to go ahead anyways.
In most other art it detracts from the experience making it feel laughable or cartoony.

I do agree that it is beneficial to do studies of somewhat muscular men to get better at muscles but as vilppu always says it shouldn't be a bodybuilder's body you study because those are quite deformed.
