Flex Friday - giving older brothers a reason to show off since 1957! or Giving little brothers something to aspire to since 1957!

Me on Flex Friday...okay, me every day!

Funny, but sadly true for most people.

Another classic ad. This one is well before my time and probably most everyone else's too!

I think that this was the ad that pushed me to start lifting weights (Arnold's biceps - always an inspiration). I'd still like a pair of the "leather 'n lead" bracelets but alas, I can't seem to find them anywhere...

Another classic ad with Arnold and I believe Betty Weider!

The most classic bodybuilding ad of all time. The insult that made a man out of Mac!

I always get a kick out of the old bodybuilding ads that used to be found in comic books - which I read constantly as a kid. Gee, I wonder if this had an long term effect on me?

The bodybuilders from "Muscle Beach Party."

Anyone else remember this one? It was the second of the very popular "beach" movies. The bodybuilders featured included Larry Scott.

From the March 14, 1959 Saturday Evening Post. Not by Rockwell but by Kurt Ard. The Post had several covers regarding young bodybuilders and fitness in an era when bodybuilding was still considered by most people as...odd.

I love curves and imperfections...

More Rockwell - every Boy Scout promises to keep himself "physically strong."

Always liked Norman Rockwell's work.
