Absolute unit

Who has a good reference for the hack squat? I feel like I can't distribute my weight properly or something, it just doesn't feel right.

It doesn't feel like a barbell squat if that's what you're expecting. It targets glutes more than barbell. Try lowering the weight.

Guy was literally born decades before the 1900s.
Put it like this, if this guy was in the Red deas redemption game, he would already be a middle aged man. He literally died before bodybuilding was even a thing

He was wrote books about wrestling and philosophy.

He was a literal giant among normal men. That suit also looks v. nice no homo

That motherfucker on top has the mark of sauron and everything

>Creator of the bench press
Does that mean he's a homosexual/bisexual? He must've realized that benching works your lower pecs too much with gives lads a more feminine appearance.

His book is neat. He write without any annoying prose even by present day standards, the philosophy is solid and easy to follow, and many of the exercises aren't really popular any more and fun to try out.

Literally what the fuck are you saying, you dumb fucking nigger?

Genius

more like Dorge Hackjobshit amiright?

looks like he has some pretty good triceps

Original chad

He's unironically one of my idols.

Visionary bodybuilder, legendary wrestler, spoke tons of different languages and was so well-read in philosophy that he wrote some philosophical texts himself. Dude was a true renaissance man and I admire him a lot for that, even more than Sandow. Wish I could get my hands on a good biography of him.

>Say something nice about him.

He's a white male.

He's a big guy

That honkey can wear the FUCK out of a dress suit. Big lad, smart boi, truly a diamond unit.

I’m legit mirin’

built like a brick shithouse

He died before the discovery of testosterone.

t. sub2pl8 bench 5x5

This is the result of absolutely zero race mixing.

Why was he so obsessed with weightlifting? What good did it bring him in these times? AFAIK this wasn't a time period famous for any fitness pursuits.

>Throughout his life, Hackenschmidt paid strict attention to his diet. He ate a predominantly vegetarian diet, consisting of fruit, nuts and raw vegetables. He very rarely consumed meat and eggs, and objected to cooked foods, as he said "the purest natural food for human beings would, therefore, be fresh, uncooked food and nuts". He also drank 11 pints of milk a day, and avoided alcohol, tobacco and coffee.[27] He also remained physically fit well into old age, and at 56 he could jump over a 4-foot, 6-inch high board ten times. Even through his mid-80s, he would jump fifty times over a chair once a week, bench press 150 pounds and run seven miles in 45 minutes.

Yes goyim listen to this advice * rubs hands*

yup, there was no understanding of roids, creatine, etc. back then

World class wrestler. the lifting did him good

He's in the early heyday of physical culture, where people (or at least the new generation of people with money and desk jobs) were just starting to get big into athletic stuff. There were a lot of performing strongmen in that era as a result (although its not as specialised as later - you didn't have the divides between different strength sports or between strength/physique guys or even really between lifters and calisthenics guys like now)

He was also a wrestler and competitive strongman. Not the highest paid of the guys (that'd be Cyr, who at one point was getting about $2k per week to perform. Nobody, not even the darlings of the Chinese Weightlifting team, pulls even close to that these days) but enough to make a good living travelling around, lifting shit and pinning people.

For anyone interested in early bodybuilding the book The Strongest Men on Earth: When the Muscle Men Ruled Show Business by Graeme Kent was a good read.

fucking unbelievable surname gains. reading it alone brings to mind someone throwing heavy shit around then when you get the image of his body in addition to it you know this guy's a legend

calling him a dumb fucking nigger when your the one who is retarded and cant read for shit
