I grew up on bodybuilding magazines. Dad waited all month for the new issue; I read it until the staples fell out and taped the posters to my bedroom wall.

Those were the days; it was so cool to see men with muscle mass.

mine was youtube and old arnold clips. i had no mags, just a shaky phone and a cousin who dragged me to his garage gym. taping posters on the wall is peak though, i’d have done the same. did your dad actually lift too?
