Hi friends, happy Wednesday!
You know, lately I’ve noticed something strange. It feels like every celebrity these days is... jacked. Like, not just in “good shape.” I’m talking veins popping out of places I didn’t even know veins existed.
I mean, back in the day, you had, what? 2 or 3 action stars. But now? Even the comedians are huge. Like, why is Jim from the Office looking like he’s training for the Olympics??
All this got me thinking… When did we get so obsessed with muscles? Because I don’t remember Leonardo DiCaprio or Harrison Ford being jacked. They were just normal dudes.
Where did it start? And is it even healthy to be so muscular?
Today, we’re taking a little trip back in time to talk about the sweaty, sexy, and strange and Dark History of… bodybuilding.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol:
