  There’s an Ancient Greek saying “νοῦς ὑγιής ἐν σώματι ὑγιεῖ”, which translates to a healthy mind in a healthy body. One cannot exist without the other

  The phrase &quot;skin in the game&quot; is derived from a famous Athenian gymnasium, which had a sign at the entrance which said &quot;Strip or stay out&quot;--in other words, don&apos;t expect to come inside and criticize anyone&apos;s body or performance unless you&apos;re a participant.

  The idea that the greeks were all super jacked and fit also comes from the fact that they only made sculptures and art of super jacked people because they liked the look, not because everyone was jacked

  The typical athlete of the period, as we know him from the records and from the black-figured vases, was the strong man, wrestler, boxer, or pankratiast. Many stories were told of their strength. One of them, named Bybon, left behind at Olympia an interesting record. It is a block of red sandstone weighing 316 lb., and on it is inscribed the statement that he threw it over his head with one hand.[2]<br>The stone is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia.[3][4]
