Smoking raises test levels and people smoked like crazy in the 1940s and 1950s.

How many men had their test checked in the 40s and 50s?
I think zip.
So where do these statistics come from?

There is an entire industry today built around telling 30 year old men they have low test and need trt.
Total bullsh*t.

The vid of 1940s leg exercises has a picture of Bob Peoples with the caption Vince Gironda.

Donny,

They sell benches like that Roman Chair Squat exercise on Amazon and call them Sissy Squat benches.

  Doing leg presses this way seems kind of dangerous.
