38 bilder fra The Golden Era

Ingen hadde forestilt seg at det som startet på Muscle Beach i Venice California i 1950 kom til å bli en revolusjon i bodybuilding. Tiår senere, kaller vi det Golden Age of Bodybuilding. Tilbake da var det mindre tilskudd, mer hjerte og sjel, færre unnskyldninger, lengre treningstimer, mindre snakk og mer svette. Dette resulterte i en økning av de største kroppsbyggere verden noensinne vil se. Her er 38 bilder som tar deg tilbake i tid.
