Physiques before steroids existed

Natty Talk

[HerculesFit]

The irony is these guys would definitely be accused of taking gear today 😂

[stinkmeaner]

Imagine being so swole, your mustache flexes too😂

[creamstick]

You can see each individual strain of muscle popping out of their bodies. Crazy dedication and mad respects for them.

[Chin-dian]

Those Indian bodybuilders were definitely on point. Born natural, trained natural and died natural. Salute to those Bronze Age bodybuilders.

2022: "Yo bruh are you natty?"
Before 1930: "Yo you use gear?"

Bro was the ultra chad of his timeline. Mustache was on point

[desertsniper]

Back when aesthetics still mattered and not just how freakish you can make yourself look

[ChrisPBacon]

That first Indian dude has a surprisingly good chest for bronze-era lifters. I wonder what he did for it.

[abdel-azizalnabhan]

All of them have a full head of hair, love it loool

[AngeloGzzly]

Last dude looks like me after my grandma calls me a precious young man

[imacarguy]

My uncle, who is Indian, was shredded similar to these guys. Did mainly manual labor. Strong af.

[justlovelyaintit]

Apparently India had a strongman culture back then.

[abaronofchivalry]

Can't imagine the discipline it would take to look like that while being natty

[bishopp]

Can you imagine how freaked out the people of that time would have been to see what some bodybuilders look like today?? They would have assumed they were monsters! These guys are the real deal right here. Literally, all natural! Respect.

The fourth guy was from my hometown, still worked as a coach up until his 80s.

[vedicwarriorOriginal]

I am really surprised to see so many Indian bodybuilders during those days. Really shocking how well-developed they were too. One learns something new everyday. 👍💪

[foolishly]

It's so strange seeing their bodies because their bodies look like those charts that show the anatomy of muscles

[_sqwid]

These guys look like actual human beings with muscles instead of the freaky monsters we have in the modern day

[nonebusiness]

The thing is these guys exercised at the gym 2-3 hours a day everyday and had blue collar jobs which was an additional 8 hours of intensive calorie burning

Thanks for showcasing 🇮🇳 Indian icons!
