If you emerged from December resolving to consume less and go easier on the booze, you're not alone. Here to throw a little gas on the motivational fire is Adam Driver, whose impeccable swole-ness in Star Wars: The Last Jedi has garnered as much attention as that huh-inducing ending (regardless of the fact that, yes, the movie is so darn good). Writer and director Rian Johnson called Driver's big shirtless scene in the movie a “beefcake” moment while fans argued over whether it was hot or awkward (it was both).

Then, over the weekend, the scene got a little more social media cowbell when John Mayer dubbed fans' imitation selfies the #KyloRenChallenge and added his own bathroom shot to the mix. Now, even more Star Wars nerds, muscle heads, and generally bored people are joining in on the fun. The results are the mindless Internet distraction you need on your first day back at work as well as a welcome reminder that above-the-belly-button pants are really only flattering on Adam Driver’s Herculean body. They will potato-ify even the leanest man—and potato-ification is the last thing we need after the holiday season. Which is why before you post your own #KyloRenChallenge, you might want to start making good on your (and everyone's) New Year's resolution to get fit.
