Here is another big difference between the classic physiques of the Golden Age (the 1940s and 50s) and the hulk-like physiques of today - classic physiques look good in clothes!
Take a look at the above photo of the four Mr. Americas from 1945-48. They look great whether in suits or more casual clothes! If you saw these men in person, they would certainly look big & strong. You could definitely tell that they "built." Yet, they still present an attractive appearance.
This is the great thing about building a classic physique. You can look great in and out of clothes. Whether you are at the pool, on the beach, working out, or at school, work, or formal occassion - a classic physique is a winner in all circumstances!
During the Golden Age, as we have pointed out before, the mags promoted the ideal of building an attractive, healthy, classic physique that would increase your "sex appeal" and athletic abilities. What a difference that is from today's muscle mags that glorify the extreme physique!
So keep motivated and know that by building a classic physique, you will not have to sacrifice looking good in clothes! With a classic physique, you can indeed "have your cake and eat it too!" - CPB

they look great not look todays bodybuilders who look like fat with clothes on
Hi TJ,
We agree! Just think about it, we weight trainers will spend 95% or more of our time in clothes! So why not build a classic physique that looks great at all times, under all conditions - whether at the pool, gym, home, work, or in a suit?!
If that's what we really want, then it makes no sense to idolize steroid-users who only look "impressive" in certain poses on stage and terrible in clothes. But with the modern muscle mags, that's all there is! But why should we support this by buying their mags - when their mags don't value the type of physiques we want to build?
That's why we decided to put out Classic Physique Builder (CPBzine). We want to show everyone the truly classic physiques of the pre-roid, Golden Age champs that the modern muscle mags would rather keep hidden and would rather that people didn't know about.
Ever wonder why the modern mags don't really talk about the pre-roid Golden Age? Because then everyone would realize that you don't need steroids or even modern, high-tech supplements to build a fantastic, classic physique.
The modern muscle mags make their money on advertising revenue from the supplement companies who use steroid-enhanced bodybuilders in their ads (to make people believe that the supplement was responsible for their muscular development).
So the modern muscle mags, steroid-using bodybuilders, and high-tech supplement companies all have a big financial interest in promoting steroid-based bodybuilding (either directly or indirectly). That's why, none of the modern muscle mags will ever change course and return to Golden Age classic physique building.
Fortunately, thanks to the information age, the images and methods of the Golden Age champs have been preserved and, through Classic Physique Builder (CPBzine), we can make them available for all to see. So you can know the truth and decide which is the better road for you to take!
So, yes...build a Golden Age, classic physique, be healthy, and look great at all times! Who would ever regret that?
All the best,
CPB
just another cool picture of four good looking guys hanging out - Todays bodybuilders seem to be feuding most of the time - Golden era was all about helping each others out - more about the journey together then a journey alone
