I'd love to have these kinda photos taken of me. I think these are far better than betting greased and tanned up made to look like you're having a shit lifting a dumbbell. The photos back then made it look more artistic too. A graceful and artistic sport.

@BoxFreshNikes I agree and the last one of Steve Reeves is great! I looked at your channel and if you want to bodybuild lay off the alcohol. You are young at 19 and have great potential at that age to bulk up. Be smart and that means eating and training, don't use your body as a garbage dump. Stop reading the crap magazines too like Flex and Mens Health. They don't give you all the right information. They are there to sell you stuff. Read books by noted coaches, trainers, doctors etc.

lol how can steroid improve? Steroids are steroids. Synthetic versions of testosterone. Unless the laws of biology have changed then there is no difference. Sterois didn't come out till early 30's to combat wasting deseases. most of these guys have probabilly never even heard of them.
