Greeks didn't know about steroids. Therefore, if they knew bodies could look like this is because someone, somewhere...

Yes I'm sure that sculptor really did meet Hercules and get him to pose nude long enough to carve a block of marble into his image

if you think that this can't be achieved without roids
or if you're unable to reach this body type without roids then you're either:
>extremely stupid
>lazy
>don't lift
>genetically inferior

They don't need a model.
They can sculpt it from dozens of men all with the unique bodies they want to piece together.
All from memory or a certain model.

You're getting just a wee bit ahead of yourself. I don't find these greek bods to be impressive not even for a natty. I was disagreeing with the idea that you couldn't fabricate them easily from a lesser specimen

Seen this statue first hand
What you can't tell is the ripples carved into the marble.

the original was less buff

They're probably just copying slaves who have worked an entire life of hard labour from childhood so have that body.

Faggot. spend ten minutes researching the history of greek statues. They were literally an exageration, of ideal proportions. The physiques were unattainable before roids.

aiming for this by september

>Greeks didn't know about steroids

You know that Greek athletes secretly consumed huge amounts of bull testicles for the test right? And that the recognized it was a performance enhancing drug and anyone caught doing so was banished from the games and had their name added to a public monument designed to shame cheaters?

Greek strong men drank shit loads of (goat) milk and ate black market bull nuts for test. Kinda fucked to think about how that parallels today.
