Do you remember the first muscle man you admired? Who was it? How old were you? Now that you have some perspective, what do you think of the physique he had back then? Pix?

For me, it was Ivan Putski and Billy Graham! I was in third grade (I remember because we had a black and white TV back then). I still think they looked awesome!

I saw a clip of Arnold from Pumping Iron. The part where he does concentration curls.

He looked absolutely mind boggling to me then.

for me it was around 1980-81 in me and my sister's room my dad plastured pics of Serge Nubret and Frank Zane on the wall. I had Muscle and Fitness mags around 84 too. I also went and lifted weights with him in a local gym when I was little like 8-10 yo.

i was naturally attracted to any muscular pic. but i believe the first guy i wanted to look like him was sylvester stallone.. so of course i have achieved this old childhood goal and passed it by a mile too

Who? pic? And when did you see Canseco looking buff? Anytime I saw him he was in his baseball uniform. Or is there another Canseco you are referring to?

If JCVD is your first muscle then you are young indeed. Oye! I guess I'm getting too old for this site.
