Description
Have you ever wondered what bodybuilders looked like before the invention of steroids? You might be surprised at the physiques of those early 1900’s bodybuilders.
While they don’t look like the shredded mass monsters we see today on stage and on social media, they are pretty darn impressive.
So impressive for the time, you might have to question their natural statuses. Even people today with comparable physiques are accused of steroids, especially when it comes to being seen on social media.
However, it was all done naturally. Testosterone wasn’t even synthesized in a lab until 1935 with mass production and recreational use coming in later decades.
What does this mean?
When you see someone with an impressive physique, or one that happens to be bigger and / or leaner than yours, don’t be so quick to accuse them of hopping on gear. With the right training, diet, and consistency; an impressive physique is not something so far fetched.
It also means that you shouldn’t be discouraged by seeing someone that is open about their PED use. Just because you can’t build the same body doesn’t mean that you can’t build an impressive one yourself. Remember, it’s about maximizing and optimizing your body to its full natural potential.
