Couch Potato Muscle

[Yachirobi]

I think this has been done before but it just struck me:

I'd love to see a slow-growth story about a guy who gets huge by doing all the things that he shouldn't do to get big and buff. He sits around all day, watching TV or playing video games (no motion controllers), and eating crap food. The more he wastes his health, the healthier he gets. He even gets better skin and hair by ignoring them. He just completely slides into a funk but, somehow, becomes a god through this... but he can't see that he's becoming beautiful and strong, nor does he care.

Of course, the one thing I'd throw in would be that he should be masturbating more and more but that's just a side effect. Maybe by not going after hot guys, he gets more and more opportunities--or other guys get opportunities with him as he somehow attracts muscle-worshippers to him from nowhere.

For story purposes, I think he needs a roomie or a buddy who sees this happening and is infuriated by it all, seeing this slob suddenly become amazingly beautiful and get all of the perks without being aware of it. Of course, that buddy will succumb to his bud's beauty and will worship, even if it's out of spite.

Or maybe he'll do something worse? Jealousy can have some nasty results. And who says every muscle story needs a happy ending?

I'm never one to write sexy stories but I might take a crack at this someday.

I challenge you to write this. THE GAUNTLET, IT IS THROWN.

hmmmm...Actually I see a take on this but not quite as suggested...

Mind if I have a lil play ?

Story idea reminds me of this.

Maybe he can't see the change because his TV, or a new videogame he plays emits a hypnotic message that makes him think he's as fat & ugly as he should be. Of course his roommate will be exposed to the same TV, so he will think he's sliding backwards, despite pushing hard at the gym. The growth catalyst could be some pastries the main character dug out of a dumpster, that the fit roommate would never eat.

Yea i really like this idea and might take a crack at it myself, though I'd need some advice along the way... the story could kinda go anywhere.
@Yach: What about his attitude/personality--would it change with time?

[Yachirobi]

I doubt his personality would change very much. If anything, he'd become an exaggeration of himself. Couch Potato might begin as an active person until some kind of trauma (major or minor) waylays him into a sedentary lifestyle. However, he'd still have to be a potato for a while before whatever triggers his changes occurs. Keep in mind that the trigger might not be obvious. I've been intrigued by unusual, inexplicable triggers for transformations. It could be something as minor as a life event that supercharges his laziness but somehow causes his body to react by turning into the physical opposite of his mental state.

Sounds like a great premise.

I'm kinda picturing the couch potato-cum-muscle-hunk in the 3rd person narrative (ie He flexed/He said) and the room-mate either in the first person (i said/i watched as his biceps bulged freakily as he chugged his beer,and then belched while absently stroking his hard abs under his dirty wife-beater) in other words,being the central character. Or both in the 3rd person.

Hi, longtime lurker. I don't want to see this idea die. This is a great idea. Could someone take a crack at it? (I would love to see this. So hot...! )

And... back to lurking.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, this would be a story I'd love to see, too.
