i'd rather be built like these guys from before the 1950's

[guest589745]

I would rather look like phil heath.

THose guys were big though for thei time

[ddfb30]

not to mention they thought water was bad for u when working out

[pimpdawgin]

There's points to be made for both sides, but from some of the pics I;ve seen of Sandow, that guy was absolutely jacked for his time. I've never seen abs from way back then. REspect

good luck to u. the 1st guy looks fat 2 me.

Wheresthe fat at on George Hackenschmidt?

[jax larue]

Ill take my hat off to him. That pic was taken in 1903!!!!!!! He doesnt look fat at all.........He probably looks better than 80% of the guys on this board. Awesome achievment considering he was born in 1878! Back then they didnt know anything.......no diets, no supplements, no steroids.

They new a lot more then they are given credit far!

1st guy's got some pretty good legs, ESPECIALLY for 1903! I would take Lee Priests look @ my height, though!

First guy is George hackenschmidt and i think the heavist he squated was 188 pound,but then they didn't have squat racks then either.

thats the spirt, if you aim real low you have a better chance to suceed

dude theres no low aiming here it takes just as hard work to look like either of them two guys,probably harder if you train exactly like they did and don't use such modern stuff as suppliments are even roids.
and i'n training just like them.

[jax larue]

I would actually have a ton of respect for sombody who walks into a gym like that!

yeh talk about the self-confidence

[jax larue]

not to mention they thought water was bad for u when working out

Some did but not all did.the ones that did think water was bad for u during a workout where pretty much seen as cranks and faddists.

Yeh i'm striving for the kinda of Physique Sandow had when he was alive,which means i'm having to study the books written by the old timers and apply the info and exercises in them to building myself up.

Bumping this thread?dude I started this thread:P

[jax larue]

you uneducated fool. and ectomorphian, although HGH is usually blamed for the increase in a**ominal area dimensions, its mostly due to eating so much food. ive just finished a bulking cycle, and my stomach is alot larger than before, and just as hard

1) I'mnot uneducated.
2) i'm not a foll so don't get rude.

and 3)Most most of the bodybuilders have that distneded gut evem when ripped in contest shape and we know they cut way way down on what they eats so don't blmae it on high food intake!

[RoadToRecovery]

I dont think he was talkin to you buddy... jeez... someone didnt eat their wheaties this morning

[Atomini]

Does anyone here know Georg Hackenschmidt's weight lifting records? I'd love to know what kinda weight he pushed around back then.

I've been searching all over but I can't find it anywhere....
