I own the Atlas course and several Bullworkers, but would never buy this cutout.  She does look great here, but no, no cutouts for me thanks. |

I own the Atlas course and several Bullworkers, but would never buy this cutout. I think Atlas had a great and classic physique that young men today would still like to have. I don't care how he really attained it, looks good to me. It's good to see Atlas still coming up somewhere in almost 2023. That's a long time to be admired and shown. It was pretty much the greatest ad campaign in history and will always be a part of 'Americana'... That said, let's be real. Yes, he was a handsome guy, and he also seemed like he was a very nice guy. But as far as an exceptional 'build' goes he really wasn't anything special at all. People like to claim that he was "well proportioned" but that really isn't true, he had almost nothing in leg development. People also like to add in the disclaimer "for his time", but during his "time" there were plenty of others out there in the strength and sports worlds that were built better overall. As a matter of fact some were built MUCH better, but ok, I don't want to rain on any of the fanboys parades so I'll shut up now...  |

For sure, great ad work, handsome (he held himself well and had a charisma), no-not exceptional body and many before during and after him were way better, and really only shapely kinda legs, BUT us skinny kid fanboys who could relate still like it. I think it was that his before pic was so skinny like most kids prior to 1990 with small to medium bone structures who were also long and rangy and they could see how he transformed into something more attractive.
It's like Marilyn Monroe, I think she was hot, but there were better built and looking than she was back then...casting couch?

My wife is a big fan of the old time 'classic' movies, and I'll sometimes watch at least part of some of them with her. What repeatedly strikes me now is how absolutely beautiful so many of the actresses were back then. I mean like golly wow, holy smokes were they good looking, with none of the idiotic and ugly plastic surgery needed... |

I'm nostalgic and love those oldies as well up through the late 50's with the Bowery Boys/East Side Kids. Bettie Page was hot and lived to be 85! Those movies were very original and watching them now you can see what real men acted like compared to the current toxic masculinity and watered-down anti-male/testosterone times we live in. Powerful women back then too like Lauren Bacall (and she almost got to 90!) and Doris Day. They were all natty. |

A few of my favorites....Rita Moreno, Sophia Loren, Gina Lolabrigida, Jane Mansfield and this beautiful Mexican girl from "The Magnificent Seven" seen here at 3:13 |

I was just having a conversation this weekend with my current chick. We were talking about the actor Willem Dafoe, and it was his first movie, "To Live And Die in L.A.", he wasn't ugly then, but definitely looked "odd". My thought was that he looked "out of Time", like a '30's gangster type face rather than the modern era. Then we started talking about how people just looked different 40 years ago. If a Victor Mature or Jeff Chandler walked into a room, they would stand out. Same for the ladies like Veronica Lake or Rita Hayworth, a natural glamour absent today. Will the actors of 80's movies look vastly different to the Gen Z kids?

And no disrespect intended but his build wasn’t all that great either. I just don’t get what the fuss was about ? When I had my home gym I had two picture on the wall, Monte Saldo and Atlas, a lady friend wanted a copy of Atlas she found him gorgeous.
Monte Saldo
Monte was a beast! |

Monte was a beast! Now that's someone with a superb build that I'd consider as ancient Greek statue level material, unlike you know who...  |

And most did not have the "I am smelling shit" look that I find disgusting in many young (and old) girls today. |
