These guys remain the most aesthetic. What did they know that we don't?

>What did they know that we don't?
What looks good.

>>76269753
Is there a way to unlock this latent power?

>>76269749 (OP)
most of the difference is made by the slightly higher bf% and by the b&w analog pictures imo, but also the proportions were less extreme

>>76269749 (OP)
they were lifting for zyzzsthetics, not to satisfy gay muscle fetishists

>>76269783
they look even better than modern aesthetic brahs

Thanks

Did they do bro split?

Yeah that is the dream physique isn't it. Obviously looks strong and good, but doesn't look ridiculous or fake like 70% of the people I see at the gym now. I wonder how long it took this guy

>>76269749 (OP)
>What did they know that we don't?
Understanding of proportions instead of just getting bigger and bigger everywhere.

These guys natty?

>>76270193
The early silver era guys? Probably. Late silver era guys? Probably not. I think Reg Park is the jumping off point for steroids becoming common around the 60s.

>>76269749 (OP)
Steve Reeves. The definition of the GOAT.

>>76269749 (OP)
For one thing, they weren't nearly so lean and cut as modern bodybuilders. This guy looking like 6 months out as far as bodyfat percentage.
Being extremely cut with striations visible looks bizarre and unnatural. And hell, I'd even say it makes you look sickly and frail.

Bodybuilding ended with the Silver Era, when it was actually building your body yourself (not the drugs doing it) and by eating and being healthy.
Arnie&Co ruined everything.
Modern-day bodybuilding is all about findinf the right drug dealers and to see who can take most drugs without dying on stage.

>>76269749 (OP)
no microplastics, less fake food.
let that sink in

>>76270214
Picrel Reg Park was in 1957 so right before Dbol came in, meaning guaranteed natty.

Won the chin up cup, three weeks in a row

REG PARK WAS BASICALLY DOING SLAVE LABOUR AT 10 THOUGH....

>>76270675
These kids at the gym, all they do is deadlift. Back in my day, the only thing we lifted off the floor was a dead cocksucker!

>>76271501
slave child labor is a natural growth hormone it is known

literally built different why do our abs and chest not look like this now what were they doing

>>76269871
I followed his advice on eggs, I ate 36 eggs for 8 months every day.
Strongly recommended it for a bulk diet.

>>76272034
They had a wider variety of movements and weren't glassbacks like modern lifters.
A good example is the widespread usage of moon benches and various pullovers in spinal extension in order to expand the ribcage. No one does that stuff today.

>>76272414
Did you cook them all or did you drink them raw?

>>76272714
There are still some old school gyms scattered around the country with all sorts of wacky equipment

>>76273845
After the 3 week all of them raw with squeezed lime

>>76269749 (OP)
>What did they know that we don't?
No keto
No powershitting
Dessicated organs as supplements
High volume training

>>76272034
Different exercise selection. Nowadays bodybuilders train like powerlifters larping as bodybuilders.

>>76269749 (OP)
This is his workout supposedly, one of the first bodybuilders to do multi-set training. Multiple sets were invented after WW2.

>>76276734
Full body workouts instead of splits seemed to be the norm back then, also the high rep stuff.

>>76269749 (OP)
The problem is these guys stand next to steroid freaks and look tiny. I'd prefer to look like them, but freaks are more interesting to the public.

>>76270009
They almost exclusively did full body days.

>>76270193
They may have tried it once or twice, but it's safe to say they're natty. Until the late 50's, only the soviets really knew how to effectively use synthetic test.

>>76270722
Even golden age guys look better because they weren't getting to %bf like modern guys.

But /fit/ told me it is literally impossible to build muscle without roiding, and every single person on the internet bar none, is roiding.

test was widely available and advertised in the 40s. hell, meth used to be legal otc

>>76270710

Fuck yeah bro, was literally typing it out until I saw your post. That's the way a dude looks.

>>76277065
those are all /biz/ anons that have invested in Big Roid, don't let them fool you

>>76277104
Your not gonna come close to the looks the people in this thread have, like not even 60%.

These are the genetic elite of their times, with fantastic bone structure and non-pozzed food.

I'm not pro-roid but most people on the internet do in fact roid, even those that claim natty.

>>76269749 (OP)
dbol, good tan and no concern of being less than 12% bodyfat or being "dry." that's just what are attracted to as a gay man. me personally, I think they look worse but I'm also not attracted to men so what do I know?

>>76275964
Why squeezed lime?

>>76277264
Get out of the closet already man.

>>76277310
>no u r da gay 1!
damn, gay AND retarded? that's tough luck.

>>76276792
>The problem is these guys stand next to steroid freaks and look tiny
in my 5 years of lifting I've only ever come across 3 steroid users, 2 were bloated and balding varicose ridden freaks and one stank like shit. I wouldn't worry about looking small next to roiders.

>>76277323
It's not bad being gay, I bet you masturbate to trannies and big dicks as well. Just accept yourself, your already projecting it unto others.

>>76276734
Pretty modest poundage, impressive sicne no one can deny he looked like a million bucks.

>>76277384
Depends on form and execution. If those squats are genuine atg and controlled that is pretty good. And oldschool lifters always tried doing squats upright, keeping tension on quads.

>>76277090
This. You could literally mail order test through magazines in the 40's, but it was already commercially available as early as 1937 from pharmacies.

>>76277307
For taste mostly.

>>76277358
>i bet you masturbate to trannies
>you're projecting
you really aren't helping your case you retarded cocksucker. it's not my fault you are a molestation victim. stop trauma dumping.

>>76277441
Bro you come to fit, open a classical bodybuilding thread, claim everyone is gay because they are 12% bf and then get mad when you get called out for having gay thoughts about the least gay era of bodybuilding in history.

But I get it your just trolling at this point. Just keep in mind you might be in the closet. Will help avoid further unnecessary conflicts.

Let me guess, you need more?

Is this preferable to 3x20?

You know we can take pictures of this same effect today, right? Right??? TAKE THEM THEN
