It helps, though. Let's not pretend that steroid use isn't extremely normalized among the kind of people that people think of when they imagine an "ideal beach body" (e.g. every muscular Hollywood actor). "Normies" don't necessarily know that.
It says Mr Olympia there is ideal, not that it is attainable by normal humans or that Arnie is one. Should people be ashamed of using exogenous hormones? That includes wide swaths, more than body builders.
It's an ideal beach body, not a normal one. Though you're right that Schwarzenegger looked normal compared to what competitive bodybuilders look like today.
And the 'ideal' beach body is apparently something that can only be attained by steroid abuse. Arnie in his prime, pumping gear, should not be what anyone thinks is an 'ideal beach body'. This is what I mean about steroid abuse normalization.
All jokes aside, anybody knows why only exoskeletal animals were able to develop crab-like morphologyies? If it's the most recurring evolution, why not for mammals?

No sane human thinks you need steroids to get an ideal beach body

Exactly. I got even bigger tits from just Toblerone.

I did specify that I was talking about sane humans though.

The ideal each body is obviously seal shaped. That way you can just roll your fat ass from the beach bar to take a piss in the surf.

Now imagine the same seal, but with armor and claws. And a bunch of legs.

I like this list of instructions on how to have a beach body best:

The ideal beach body is the one you already have.
Save the environment - reuse your bodies.

Peak Arnie isn't the normal human ideal. It's a freakish extreme that the vast majority consider going too far.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 229d
Hey now, you're going to make those of us who look like peak Arnie feel self-conscious about our bodies!

I know you're joking, but we both know that you don't do that to your body unless you already have some pretty major insecurity issues 😄

Normal human = Arnie in his prime, pumping gear.
The way we've normalized steroid use* is fucking insane. I remember when people used to be ashamed of that shit.
Edit* abuse because apparently the context isn't enough of an indicator of meaning

I think, that being able to towel of ones own back is pretty important in a beach body.
