Barbell cucks btfo.

He even talks about mind muscle connection in his book

Veeky Forums BLOWN the fuck out

i dunno why people praise him. he was most likely a cokehead. cocaine lets a person eat like an obese while retaining lean body mass and burning fat at the same time. he looks exacrtly how you would expect a cokehead who trains religiously and eats like a pig to look. now days people do clenbuterol instead it works better.

Have you even done cocaine or known people who do cocaine you fucking virgin

He pretty much founded bodybuilding and was a bigger fitness icon than Arnold.

How do I achieve this mode with dumbbells?

>cocaine lets a person eat like an obese while retaining lean body mass and burning fat at the same time.
You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

a long time ago yup. i used to eat like a whale and get drunk as fuck every night. never got fat. there's a high incidence of obesity after quitting cocaine use. they thought it was due to appetite supression but they're finding people eat just as much on cocaine and that cocaine users retain lbm and burn fat. basically it's like clen but more expensive, less effective and just as if not worse for you.

he looks pretty DYEL

Why is Veeky Forums so retarded

I mean it cranks your heartrate so it's basically the same effect as dnp

u mirin

why would i listen to someone smaller and weaker than me

post your body

...

Top fucking kek.

Fuck off

kys

>DNP
>cranks your heartrate

if you don't know what you're talking about, why even post?

no pump

Holy shit, how bad is your dysmorphia user?

He intentionally develop his body to look aesthetic like a Greek/Roman statue.

wow nice brah
wanna go do some coke and then hit the sauna?

sandow was a loser tho

>was a bigger fitness icon than Arnold.
Sure, he was more popular than Arnold when Arnold was a baby.

He btfo sandow by the time he was 18

lol

average height in 1900 was 10cm less than today though

Sandow looks good, but he's also standing in perfect lighting - if you look through a CBT thread here or at any gym in america, you will find a whole lot of guys who look just as good or much better in the same favorable lighting

today's training methods are objectively superior to the dumb meme shit they did circa 19-whogivesashit and only contrarian goofs would think otherwise

agreed but his contribution of lifting is significant and it would be plain stupidity to deny that

Average height today is 5'9.

Sandow was much bigger fitness icon than Arnold.

Sandow fanbois are delusional. 99/100 people have no idea who he is.

Because Arnold is more recent obviously?

But I don't think you realise how huge Sandow was in the Victorian era.

Now this is a shitpost

>if you look through a CBT thread here or at any gym in america, you will find a whole lot of guys who look just as good or much better in the same favorable lighting

The difference is that they're all roided while Sandow was natty.

reminder that he drank bull piss for testosterone

>powerlifter
>competition is literally centered around 3 barbell lifts
Hurr if you use barbells you're retarded

bullshit, nothing about sandow's physique requires roids to attain

low bodyfat and lighting makes a gigantic difference
