That’s what I said at first then did a little research

I wonder what natural test levels were in the 20’s before plastics, seed oils, and almond butter.

[joswift]

Looks like Chad Mower

[Gym Rat]

Bobby Pandour is another...

[BB]

To be fair, he wasn't a huge guy. He was DJ sized, sub 6" wrists, and arms in the 15.5"-16" range according to the old ads he was in. It's the old natural double edged sword problem. Do you pick lean or do you pick big, because you're not getting both.

Here's the book from the system "Maxalding" he was part of, it's building through weightlifting, then a bunch of that old school "muscle control" / isometrics work -

Nice dick root pics. Even 100 years ago the schmoes were in charge.

[Sandrock]

Great neck on the guy.  Hankins wrestled and blasted steroids for 20 years and couldn't get a neck close to the natural guy from 1920.

[Rambone]

Mower-like neck to shoulder width ratio on this beefy brute

[BEEFCAKE]

A buddy of mine just sent this to me. Crazy genetics

scientists where experimenting with cadaverous hormones in 1890 , thats where all the turn of the century freak show musclemen came from

Face it some people are blessed.

[BigRo]

[wes]

The YouTube channel GOLDEN ERA BOOKWORM. Had an article on Bobby Pandour.

He worked out nonstop with extremely light weights. Like basically walked around with 5lb dumbells all day long. Whenever he had a free moment he would do nonstop curls or laterals or raises. Like hundreds of them it was just a part of his everyday life. He also ate like shit.

These guys were muscular but not huge. The average man back then was more muscular, probably due in part to their diet not having processed foods, saturated fats and sugar in everything but they also had twice as much testosterone.  So it wouldn't be much to add 10 or 15 lbs and look massive by comparison.

These guys have bigger and better legs than our self anointed superstar here, Mr. Hanky

They ate a lot of saturated fats.

They ate a lot of saturated fats.

Mentzer was ripped and shreaded and dry on pastries and ice cream

Some people just have excellent genetics.

Highly unlikely barely literate gym rats in the 1800's were injecting 'cadaverous hormones' 

[US MUSL]

Mentzer was ripped and shreaded and dry on pastries and ice cream

....and amphetamines

[Humble Narcissist]

Bobby Pandour is another...

My favorite from that era.

Saturated fats are important for hormone production.
