Animal was cool as hell to me in my youth. Grungy black n white photos of a dour faced Frank McGrath lifting in construction boots, that kinda shit.
Much rather see them stick around than MuscleTech's cheesy fake lab advertisements
Yeah I was really into their advertising growing up also. I used to keep cut outs of the ads to motivate me before workouts. They made it all sound so hardcore.
What's hardcore about some depressed guy, scowling over a plate of mush, acting as if hitting the weights (in some condemned shack, disguised as a gym) is the equivalent of a root canal?
Those ads were more likely to make you pick up badminton than continue bodybuilding.
