We see it all the time. Guys with a 3 PSL face spending 6 days a week in the gym thinking a low body fat percentage and a 40-inch chest is going to completely save them.
Obviously, being in shape is a baseline requirement. But it feels like heavy gymmaxxing past a certain point yields massive diminishing returns if your facial aesthetics (mandible, eye area, midface ratio) aren't up to par.
At best, a top-tier physique on a sub-tier face just makes you a "bodybuilder" type who only gets noticed from behind.
Is elite gymmaxxing a cope to avoid spending money on hardmaxxing/surgeries, or does a great body actually bump a guy up a full point regardless of his face?
