OP here
something made before the 80s please

They picked up heavy rocks. Carried heavy rocks somewhere else. They were more occupied with being strong than having big, well-defined muscles.

How did they measure weight progression or did they just do it by feel?
>this rock I've been carrying to the baths for the past 3 weeks is starting to feel light
>I should get a heavier rock
>>70864028
What's with all the loose change? Why not just slap on 2pl8 or whatever that all adds up to?

Yes. Exactly this. That's all you need to get strong.

Smaller plates makes drops sets easier.

>easier

I'm not OP.
I mean the 80s were like 30 years ago.
I'm 26 and I don't really consider more than 30 years to be a particularely short amount of time as far as a human life goes.

They were concerned with both, Greeks were very into aesthetics.
>>70864321
Spartans trained with bodyweight exercises. They were doing pushups and shit while waiting for the Persians at Thermopylae.
The athleticism of ancient civilizations is a little exaggerated and over romanticized by later Renascence artists. They would've been average build for an active male who wouldn't walked miles every day etc. Hence the statue of Apollo here who was regarded as the pinnacle of male form

Whenever there's a weird log awkwardly there, it'd because the stone statue is a copy. The original is bronze and has been lost to us. The stone copy would need the extra log for support.
