Just reminding y'all: This is what the human (male) body can look like natty. Always remember.
I can't grow that moustache though
Did they bench? What routine did he use?

>that complete absence of chest
He certainly couldn't have been benching with any significant amount of weight.
>>35662438
>>35662519
Bench? No.

Bench press only seems to have become widely used after the 40s. Sandow did band resisted push ups for chest. He was always aiming to reach the physique of ancient statues which don't generally have huge chests
>>35662419
It can look better now. We have better equipment and nutritional knowledge of what to do. It's just the beginning boys.
>>35664712
Nowadays no one is willing to put in the work though.
Looks like me except I have better pecs but he has better abs. Abs are for fags anyways. Not worth torturing your body with dieting and losing gains.

the oversized chests of today's bodybuilder look f'kin ridiculous anyway
>>35664712
Old school strongmen and bodybuilders understood nutrition well enough to get the job done. They also weren't bombarded by the amount of toxins and xenoestrogens we have to deal with now.
Also, Equipment isn't that important. Lifting heavy shit is what's important. And they knew how to lift heavy shit.

Oh stop with the "My way is best! Fuck chest muscle!" bullshit. Victorian era bodybuilders looked great, and so did the Golden era bodybuilders like Serge, Arnold, Frank, etc with their chest shields. Most guys through the 90s started the extremely unhealthy bodybuilding mass monster trends, which is what really should be looked down on.
We're all gettin' gains my nigga, don't put shit down.

For anyone aspiring to be 'aesthetic' it should be a cost vs. reward.
250mg of test per week costs less than a fancy craft beer in many pubs. On even that level, slightly above a HRT dose, you will put on a 14lbs of muscle in a month. In fact, testosterone pinned in your ass works so well you could sit on your ass the whole time and still build more muscle than someone working out six days a week. Don't believe me? Read up the literature on steroids and burn victims or HIV patients.
Sandow was a genetic freak with an exceptionally healthy childhood and living in a world where the food wasn't mineral depleted, plastic pollutants weren't everywhere and estrogen from the female birth pill (like testosterone a sex steroid) wasn't in your drinking water. He had an exceptionally work drive encouraged by the big bucks he earnt during his day.
However, next to your average 'JACKD' gym rat today he would be small. The reason? Sex steroids. Even those who swear they ain't on them are on them.
Want to get big? You need to get on steroids. Anyone who ttells you otherwise is a stupid kid or lying to you to sell you supplements.
[Also, Sandow wasn't natural. At a minimum he supplemented COCAINE (legal at the time and sold OTC as a thinner) to keep lean.]
>>35664915
ha ha spot the roider who benched too much and ended up with big 'ol saggy titty pecs.
>>35664921
Would 250mg test per week shut you down or have any unhealthy side effects?
>>35664921
is this copy pasta?
reminder that Sandow was a manlet.
Average for his time, sure. But a manlet in our times.
>>35664802
Looks pretty good desu. Shame the quads look a bit undefined.
>>35664921
Thank you $hillverstein
>>35665006
No.
>>35665000
250mg test for ten weeks with PCT (clomid) would be unlikely to give a healthy man any negative side effects.
The real problem for most reading /fit/ is that they're insecure young men who base their self-construct around being JOOCEY. When you get on roids you will experience muscular development that you have never seen before or will never see again outside of another dose and this can become mentally addictive.
For a kid who thinks all his life problems will be solved if he's 230lbs and ripped, steroids probably ain't worth it.
>>35664802
THIS is the best you can do as a natty?
That's it, I'm handing in my natty card. I'm leaving humanity behind. Cya losers.
>>35665192
Damn.
My main man Adolf was on the gear. Here's a pic from a photoshoot shot the month before he died fighting the wicked forces of judea.
Baby, you need guns to hold them gas cookers closed TIGHT.
>>35665242
$100 says he ain't even natty.
At a minimum he's only 'natty' at the time on the meet or self-deluding that 'pro-hormones' are natural.
>>35665242
Stop being pathetic
>>35665242
Nah brah, that's the best HE can do natty
You'd probably look even more DYEL
So yes, you should get that elixir ASAP since you personally have no other choice.
>>35662419
Daily reminder that a slightly less cut version of pic related is most certainly achievable natty.
>>35665268
He was a vegan too
Nice meme
>>35665173
>>35665242
>>35665284
That dude isn't me, he's one of my friends (I'm barely past hungry skeleton myself)
He's 100% natty, genetic freak though. The pic was from 2012; he's bigger now
>>35664799
>I am a fat "powerlifter"
>>35664799
Fatass detected
>>35665632
More bodybuilding friends than I can count swear they are natural even when I can see the pin marks on their shoulders. Steroids have a huge stigma around them. Some guys don't even tell their partners.
>>35665517
IIRC (though I haven't read his books in eight plus years) Sandow was primarily plant based. He claimed anything more than one meat meal a day was bad for health.
For the record, 'one meat meal' in those days wouldn't mean a 400g seak. Meat would have been more of a garnish.
Additionally, Arnie and Franco got a g per KG of protein per day with 30g on top if they were training particularly heavy. This would be very easy to do on a vegan diet.
>>35662419
Those fucking abs look like they could crush rock. Better start working mine more
>>35664802
Looks like a Greek god no homo
>>35665000
250 mg ain't gon do shit for you, if you are not low test.
>>35662419
>>35662438
>>35664817
even swimmers have more impressive pecs than that manlet LMAO
>>35667794
>those legs
>>35662438
He avoided developing his chest too much because it was not considered aesthetic in his time.
So you can definitely get bigger than him as natty.
>>35665268
Is that actually real?
The top of his abs and that veiny left shoulder are kind of surprising
