Bodybuilder Arthur Peacock

Do you really want someone like Arthur Peacock, Mellow? I mean, if your hubby was posting here and said I wish my wife was like Virginia Harvey, you might feel just a slight pang.

LOL, Mellow!

When it comes to a man's build, I like a regular, ordinary, natural build.

The over-developed, ape-like, steroid-induced look, looks out of place to me.

Most body-builders I've seen, aside from looking funny, walk funny, and even funnier, they are no stronger than an ordinary fit male, and they have zero flexibility.

Same for the women I see. My husband refers to the women as "guys", because that's what some of them look like... men.

Tend to agree Aunt Marg, it's freakish and unnatural looking, but when I saw that pic, the thought struck me that with all the bad press regarding steroids and other drugs taken to attain the required result, he's still alive and kickin at 80. :)

He truly is one of the lucky ones.

So many body builders meet an early demise as a result of heart attacks and heart disease, as well as cancer, induced by the use of steroids and other muscle enhancing drugs.

I can't believe how good he looks at 80, it really is a tremendous achievement, because more often than not, when retired body builders have been away from their gym routines and stringent diets for a number of years, they resemble old, wilted, shriveled up pieces of fruit.

Wonder how many hours a week and month these guys have to workout to maintain their physique?

(Forget the muscles, bring on the pizza)

The things is, Jerry, without proper genetics, what we're seeing is not possible, and of course, as with so many body builders, they get a lot of help from muscle enhancing drugs and steroids to achieve their builds.

Nothing wrong with a pizza build. LOL!

As the old saying goes... "everything in moderation". :)
