I'd kill to look like that but I assume drugs are involved.

Also I'm 35 and waaaaay out of shape (like walking up stairs or fairly short distance gives me sore muscles the next day lol and im over 350 lbs of almost all fat) so idk if like the timeline age wise would be bad.

35 isn't too late to sort your body out, it is going to be hard getting started and you won't build muscle as quickly as you might in your 20's but you can still get swole.

Dude at my gym is in his 60's and puts most of the kids there to shame. You've just gotta commit and put in the work :)
