Get Yoked: Extreme Bodybuilding by Greg Austin is a roguelike deckbuilder that swaps swords and monsters for squat racks and protein shakes. Your deck is made of workout cards, and each one you play builds muscle in a specific area - arms, chest, back, legs, glutes - while pushing up your fatigue and your injury risk. That tension is the whole game: hammering the same muscle group is the fastest way to hit a competition's requirements, and also the fastest way to tear something and lose the run. Rest cards and supplement cards let you bleed off fatigue and keep training, and the cards you add between events gradually turn a generic gym-goer into a specialist with a very specific silhouette. Competitions set minimum muscle thresholds you have to meet to advance, so you are constantly balancing broad development against going all-in on one absurd body part. It is completely non-violent, genuinely funny, and built around the same build-variety itch that drives the best deckbuilders. If you like strategic card-based runs, you might also like Die in the Dungeon and BitLife.
Everything is played with the mouse - click a card or drag and drop it onto your character to perform that workout. Watch the muscle meters fill as you train, and keep an eye on the fatigue and injury bars beside them, because pushing a tired muscle group is what gets you hurt. Slot in rest and supplement cards before you reach the danger zone rather than after. When a competition comes up, check the minimum requirements it lists and spend your remaining turns topping up whichever muscle group is still short.
