Classic photos set of male bodybuilders
This
set is random and mix between old age and nowaday bodybuilders that I
think these guys's photo are classic. Some of them are well-known such
as, Branch warren, von legend aka, rusty jeffer. I just love the old
school guys like Frank Z, Arnold, Robby, Bannout, Corney, Beckles.
Do you know that in 80's is the golden age of bodybuilding?
Training
- though integral to one's life and livelihood - revolved around other
forms of work and pleasure. Getting big and strong was a lifestyle
choice, not a means to gigantic sponsorships, endorsements, fame and
fortune. Not for bodybuilders. Back then, most bodybuilders -
recreational, amateur and professional - worked out and ate well because
they loved it. They lived it. The serious gym junkie competed
because it was in his blood, an evolving passion that helped form
character and positive self-identity. there was a mental aspect of their
bodybuilding philosophy that is unfortunately almost completely
overlooked today. This mental dimension of bodybuilding is ultimately
what separates an average bodybuilder from a champion bodybuilder.
Bodybuilding requires an UTTER BELIEF in yourself, and without
that confidence and ego strength, you will never be motivated enough to
look your absolute BEST. And lets not forget that back in the 80s there
was very little money in this sport. The guys back then didnt do it for
money, they did it becouse they loved bodybuilding.

I think supplements played a big part, as they do today.
Some
of the supplements they used back in the day have been completely
forgotten about, but really they were the most efficient. Amino acids,
liver tablets, milk and egg protein, choline and inositol [as fat
burners], and of course your basic vitamin and mineral supplements. They
used all of these, everything but creatine, which they did not have
back in the day. They also took digestive enzymes because, want to be
able to utilize the food and supplements. Digestive enzymes provided
that for them. They worked, as did protein for recovery, liver for
endurance and lots of B-complex, which the body needs to convert all of
the foods into energy that the body can use to train harder and build new muscle.
