Medieval knights were indeed remarkably strong and physically imposing by the standards of their time, though perhaps not "jacked" in the modern bodybuilder sense. These warriors underwent rigorous physical training from childhood, beginning as pages around age 7 and progressing through years of combat preparation. They needed exceptional strength to wield heavy weapons like longswords (typically 2-4 pounds), war hammers, and maces while wearing full plate armor that could weigh 40-60 pounds. The constant training with weapons, mounted combat, and the physical demands of medieval warfare would have produced lean, functional muscle mass rather than the bulky physique we associate with modern weightlifters. Archaeological evidence from skeletal remains shows that medieval knights had notably robust bone structure and muscle attachment points, indicating significant physical development. However, their diet and training methods were quite different from today - they focused on practical combat skills rather than aesthetic muscle building, and their nutrition, while better than most medieval people due to their noble status, lacked the protein supplementation and refined training techniques of modern fitness. So while knights were certainly formidable physical specimens with impressive functional strength and endurance, their physiques would have been more like modern martial artists, military personnel, or manual laborers rather than bodybuilders.
