Great lifts but looks like a red pig

Bro looks like a beast!

you cant explain this without aliens

Mirin' hard
I wish I could bench 340

>>76246808
well there were smart people back then. much smarter than me and you. they just didnt have the technology

>>76246831
but that has nothing to do with what i said. To know what a man like on the right looked like you'd have to see one.
You only get that physique from bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is actually a very modern invention.

>>76246808
leanness wasn't invented in the last 100 years and you can just extrapolate what someone would look like with the same muscles they already have but bigger. also the back of one of those heracles statues has a bunch of muscles that don't exist.

>>76246863
that man isnt lean, they have obvious hypotrophy from bodybuilding that can only be explained with modern bodybuilding and equipment
You can literally tell of you know what you are looking at what exercises hes doing
For example they arent doing bench because the chest is underdeveloped

>>76246808
>most grifting started in the last 50yrs
>/X/tier schizo shit is clearly the reason

>>76246874
Retard, If you actually knew anything about bodybuilding it started in basically the late 19th century and 20th century..
And a lot of the equipment was invented around that time and after, like squat racks and bench
Before the squat rack, weightlifters used to lift a barbell off the ground one side at a time and squat it with their feet together.

The Smithsonian is hiding ancient Greek bodybuilding techniques. If these techniques were known to us, 800lbs deadlifts would be common. Look into Bybon son of Phola, he was an average lifter back in the day

>>76246921
It's just Mentzer's consolidated routine. I checked.

>>76246871
>>76246808
you don't need equipment to grow muscles you just need to stimulate the muscle which can be done just by wrestling people which is what they did

>>76247134
You cannot wrestle your way to a giant jacked physique

>>76246808
>>76246921
>Bybon son of Phola
>lifts 316lb rock
Milo of Croton could carry a fully grown cow (at least 800lbs). Bybon was a dyel.

>>76246808
Greeks literally had barbells idiot, and that's ALL you need

Bullshit he has those numbers off running a novice program over and over again for 3 years

>>76247957
t. retard who doesnt know bodybuilding history or bodybuilding

You cant get that physique without a squat rack and none have been found

>>76247342
can't you? what if you do it regularly?

>>76246768 (OP)

>>76247976
you don't need a squat rack to put a barbell on your back.
didn't you ever see the video of the guy picking it up from the ground?
he puts the barbell vertically, then he squats down and pulls the barbell on his shoulders, and then he squats up.
my guess is it's hard to do for us because we never practice it. if we did do it since the beginning, we would all be able to do it.

>>76247984
You need a squat rack to do repeat squats for sets.
As said earlier the technique for putting a barbell on the back was an elaborate one side at a time thing which is bad for the back and you wouldnt be able to lift any heavy weight thatd induce hypetrophy.
The greeks didnt have 100kg+ barbells you tard.
Thats assuming they were even aware of squats for quad growth in the first place.

You assume too much.

>>76246808

its the other way round people wanted to look like greek statues and so they did same for women modern day PH thots have bodies that peolpe just 20 years ago though were absolutely impossible but with drugs and surgery there is no limit.
also greeks studied anatomy and just made each muscle protrude more.

>>76247988
They used squat and shotput fucking bigass rocks/small boulders.
Nta but people have thought i lifted weights for years just because i do construction. If you think you need a very particular piece of equipment and can only gain muscle through very partucular rep ranges you might be retarded.

>>76247996
>>76247997
Nah you arent getting it. Its impossible to have a hypertrophied physique like this while lacking the technique and equipment without roids.
They didnt have roids.
Like i said there is no way they were hefting over 100kg barbells on their backs.

Because i know a bit about history, we can look first to India and look at the Gada technique for building muscle,
The muslim middle easterners were said to also train in underground gyms when they were persecuted by the Mongols, they used ampule shaped weights like the Gada.
We can assume going westward the Greeks also had gymnasiums and their own secret techniques to bodybuild that have been lost to time
Another interesting thing is the Greeks, like Spartans had a society where some members could devote their entire life to physical exercise.
This is a thing that only very recently became available to many people.

>>76246768 (OP)
It was just easier to lie 13 years ago, when people knew nothing about fitness and assumed that was reasonable progress in such timeframe. Even rippletits claims in his book one of his students got like a 500lbs squat in 6 months. Complete nonsense.

>squat = deadlift
what now

>>76248091
says the guy who think literal AYY's are the reason we lost our esoteric knowledge of picking heavy things up to failure.
It's clearly the AYY's not the billion dollar industry of grifting faggots telling you to go to the gym everyday and snort powders

>>76248366
my squat is more than my deadlift, short femurs.

>>76248012
Just pick up a heavy object, somewhere around 50kg, hold it in your arms Zercher, hold it like a suitcase W/E you want and walk up a steep mountain in Greece. (plenty)

That's like 200reps of lunges minimum. 100 reps each leg, now do this in sets.

Now tell me that this will not build big legs. This will build bigger legs than Olympic sprinters have nowadays.

Its easy as that. Just imagine doing barbell curls with 135 lbs for 100 reps, any rock will suffice.

>>76248366

These two bodies look literally nothing like each other.

We know how to draw space marines but none of us look like them.

>>76247342
they lifted

>>76248012
Look up steinborn squat you troglodyte. People have repped like 600lbs off the ground with it. Lmfao just cause you’re weak and dyel even with modern equipment doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have done lifts without it.

>>76246768 (OP)

you can put a barbell on your back. oh wait no *you* cant, because you dont train for clean and press. shame.

i think youre underestimating the intense autism of the ancient world. imagine you woke up in the morning and had literally NOTHING to do all day. not a hint of technology, you just ate and slept and in greece you had your slaves do everything difficult. these freaks were just pondering all day how to lift weights and get strong. no doubt their training methods were different than ours but you still see people today getting impressive physiques by dedicating themselves to EG kettlebells, sandbags, etc. etc.

you do not require a squat rack to become muscular. why do you think greeks were obsessed with the idea of "broad shoulders" (if you're a history knower you should know what im referring to rn), its because they just hefted heavy shit on their backs and moved around. thats basically all you need.

>>76246843
You really underestimate what's achievable.
This is a culture and time period where being strong and fighting for your life was necessary for the people/country.

>Also you don't need all this 'new' equipment to get jacked. Go dig trenches/cut trees with the legions and you'll get jacked in good time

>>76246808
they didn't have electronics and only had engines as curiosities, they almost despised the idea of using their intellect to do practical things. even anatomy via dissection was taboo untill 18th century scots started doing it, they wouldn't have been able to make comparable statues unless they had people around that muscular.
Everything's done by hand, either you or slaves do it. And you had to exercise if you wanted to call yourself a virtuous man, enough exercise and you can work out through trial and error how to get like that.

>>76246808
>most of the gym equipment and bodybuilding techniques only existed in the last 100 years
no, retard

>>76247976
yeah they where sailing around the med establishing colonies, building steam engines for fun, could measure the circumference of the earth
But a squat rack?
No

Constructing a frame for lifting weights is engineering well beyond a people capable of creating intricate clockwork mechanisms for tracking the movement of the stars

the reason he raised his arms up for the photo is because otherwise he'd just look like an unfit blob of fat. nothing like the statue on the right.
