Bronze

Because they did not eat poisioned food

I was ignorant of how bodybuilders got so big when I started going to the gym 25 years ago. After naturally building my body after 7 years I reached my peak physically. I considered trying steroids, but decided not to do it because I didn't want to ruin my body. I'm now 43 years-old and am thankful I never took steroids because 25 years ago seems like it was yesterday.

Big chests look stupid 😂

Steve sir has got everything. Skin colour, bodybuilding genetics, height,great hazel green eyes,great career in movie industry ❤❤

I’m lucky. I have genes like that make me look like a Greek God. Naturally fit. I’m 40 now and still look good. I pass for being 30.

Some test was definitely used during the 50s but not at the current amounts

Flat chests are based! Big boobies are for women

do you think they add to how much you can lift by alot or more so the stability?

He was weirdly strong.

That cut to Clancy Ross is great, perfect physique

Imagine such mediocre times that you dream of being in the circus

What the horse cockery is going on here

Testosterone levels were much higher, men didn't have man boobs.

Don’t need idols… just look at the weak women who get beaten up by bigger men… there’s your motivation and idols

I don’t have a horse in this race, I’m not a man or a bodybuilder but I have to say that I really prefer the Bronze Age silhouette. As an artist it feels better proportioned and more beautiful than the bulging pectoral muscles that would become popular in latter periods.

People would say, fake Natty, now that's all I've ever heard my entire life, even when I was a teenager. And I'm 39, you have any development. I mean, any people will start wondering if you have thorl. Development, then you definitely get accused of which I've always had. Yeah, he probably would have got accused. Nobody knows what a real natural physique. Looks like is what it seems like because we're surrounded by right, a sea of beached whales. Full of hormones, just dying, left and right. Nowadays are so bad. You could be a 130 pounds, but oh, he has abs. Must be on drugs.That's how it is anymore

The echo in your audio is irritating.

This is first time I’ve actually heard his voice they always dubbed his voice in his Hercules movies and beyond. Knew a guy who worked out with him said he was the Real thing all natural body building just pure weightlifting. 🏋️‍♂️

Arnold always said that guy had massive calfs compared to everyone else. That's probably why he won.

Know why ? They worked out,not like those in the gym nowadays who sit around texting/talking/doing nothing...

No roids back then. Nowadays they have that chest after reducing female boobs with a surgery…

Nice to know the origins of bodybuilding was in fact, legendary myths.

Wow!

Wow! ❤precious women

In addition to his symmetrical physique, I don't think God ever made a more handsome man. He had it all.

Lol. I train my chest only with dips without any extra weights, and even I have a chest bigger than many of those bronze-age bodybuilders.

💪🏼💪🏼🐮🐮🐂🏋️

🎉🎉🎉

Both of these guys are way better than the mass monsters of today

They didn't do bench press back then strength work almost exclusively with ineffective hypertrophy work and still these physiques. Wow

YO NO ME EXPLICO COMO RS QUE Este ENANO PUDO GANARLE AL.GRAN STEVE REEVES ES FEO DE BAJA ESTATURA QUE ESTARÍA PASANDO POR LA CABEZA DE ESOS JUECES ESTÚPIDOS INCOMPETENTES E INEPTOS DE REMATE CIEGOS

Perhaps the Greek Gods had smaller chests because they were male. A large chest might look more female. Just a thought.

Cardio?

He was the greatest in body building and from the golden years of America but unfortunately he wasn't lucky as Arnold shawartznegger. I just wish people luck which is enough or probably the only way to succeed without problems or troubles.

He obviously did not lift a 1200kg stone or do any of the mythical feats. Fun story though and understandable that the grapevine back in the day bigged up his amazing achievements. The most interesting thing about Gama was that he did lots of isometrics by pulling, squeezing and pushing on trees. Isometrics was one of the secrets of his super strength IMO like many of the old time strongmen. He'd squeeze the life out of you like an anaconda.

If anybody thinks you need steroids gets us physique, you are sorely mistaken. If you cannot achieve this, then you don't know what you're doing right? Or you have really bad genetics, it's not that impressive, really?I achieved this physique as a teenager, i was already flexing a 13 and a 1/2 inch arm at 12 I already benched 225. I think people need to raise your standards for what a natural is capable of and stop buying into all these bogus routines. Y'all notice all the biggest natties do not do all these stupid routines.

I know they're natural because my own physique

Tiger’s bend: look into perfecting dolphin pose and downward facing dog pose and then transition between those two as a type of similar push-up: tiger’s bend with the feet on the ground

Pre steroids

Cause they didn't bench😂😂😂

Bench press is for looks . 🤔 people didn’t eat as much . Being toned and hard is better than being thick and bulky . Stamina is as important as brute strength.

Bronze Age chest are for woman

It been exposed

Bodybuilders today look disgusting.

Reg looks better.

When I hear so many women say "I don't want to lift weights because I might get to big" I shake my head

Those are no. Of sets not reps

Respect to the Great for being a true patriot 🙏🙏

looks better, smaller tits, i like the calisthenics body. their pecs come from pushups not bench pressing them up to double D’s
