The thread concerning how to get bodybuilding back on ESPN got me thinking. There is something aesthetically beautiful to me about muscle. Visually amazing and captivating but it is very hard to explain or put into words how something has all those qualities normally associated with muscle, brutal, sick, grainy, veiny, shredded, massive and yet at the same time be beautiful.
Then someone went and posted this pic of Bertil Fox (?) I cannot explain what it is about this that I find beautiful, but something like what is being conveyed by this pic is the reason I got bit by the iron bug. Drugs or not, that's fucking awesome and in some weird aesthetic beautiful to me.
