No dipshit, not just not commercialized, literally the scientific process that lead to it's discovery hadn't happened yet. Even if your dumbass implication was true, these guys(bronze age body builders) sure as shit weren't smart enough or had the time to do it. You're eithet legit retarded or trolling, no other options.

You said LOL in response to anons reply about roids being first being synthesized in 1930. To anyone else, anon clearly meant that anon meant anabolic steroids. You seem to want to be right about things more than you want to learn anything. You seem to argue from a place of ignorance. You seem to be getting blown the fuck out.
LOL

>got folded by gotch

I wonder what his routine was
>>
>>77260022
Lots of compound movements that involve large portions of your body; variations of overhead and floor presses, squats (he invented the hack squat), cleans, wrestling, gymnastics, he was built like a tank because his training hit the body in a bunch of different unique ways.

It wasn't even synthesized in a laboratory until around 1935. You can't have esters of anything that hasn't been synthesized.
>>77259454
He had a big ribcage and torso so that chest measurement is more believable though likely exaggerated. But the rest? Absolutely just made up.

Pic related is what the best of the best bodybuilders who competed in Mr. America with their actual measurements taken before their wins. Before 1954 not one of them had larger than 18" arms. Most commonly it was between 17" and 17.5" and those are guys with thick wrists. Biggest forearm is 14.3". Biggest chest on a 6'1" guy is 49". Same guy has the biggest thighs at 25.5". 17.5" for the biggest calves while most of those guys have 17" or smaller calves. Those guys with the exception of Bacon are probably the most gifted guys in their era for bodybuilder and none of them had even close to those measurements.

Hackenschmidt was lying in the tradition of Sandow (lied about being the strongest guy in the world then lied in a defamation case against Arthur Saxon after losing to Saxon in a strength contest; Saxon was the world's strongest bent presser recorded at the time and Sandow was not the strongest man alive in spite of his claims). Hackenschmidt may have been shorter than 5'8" as well. Even in the 70's and 80's it was quite common for people to add an inch or two in magazines. This is where you might see some guys saying "Steve Reeves had a 52" chest and 18.5" arms." They add one inch to the arm measurement and three to the chest measurement. A football player in high school who lifters and has the genes for it can get 17" arms natty no problem. But bigger than 18"? Extremely unlikely. You really have to roid to get over 18." Some people need to roid to get to 18" in the first place. Some need to roid to get to 17" especially for some of the shorter guys who don't have the genes for it.
>>
>>77259305
I love images like this. All the retards lose their shit and pretend that pre-WW1 and 2 era men were either taking steroids that never existed or were eating 5000 bull testicles and drinking a million scam tonics to get roid level physiques. Like it's a fucking video game. No man can look that good and be that strong naturally, right?
>>
everyone claiming roids got mogged so hard they're brain cannot comprehend a natural looking like that

Given a basically perfect genetic, yeah.

>>77259454
>5'9.5" (69.5")

He had pretty long arms.

>>77260285
Would they pad their body weight too? Steve Reeves is surprisingly similar to my measurements but has ~15lbs of muscle on me. Kind of inspiring but like if it's inflated then not so much

Yeah this guy has very very good genes for putting muscle but shallow-brained browns can't fathom that not everyone is gifted to look like that while being natty.
On the other hand they will whistle and clap like seals when a dyel-looking physique claims roids (which means shittiest of genes for roiding up) because that doesn't shatter their weak mental.
>>

>roided
He had no ridiculous veins, unnatural looking muscle insertions/development I just have an eye for it, doesn't get huge super fast or deflate, doesn't look older than he is, telltale fat storage.

I mean sure maybe people were guzzling cum and testicles but I don't think testosterone is able to be absorbed that way.

Tbh hackenshmidt looks like a mid tier roider even at his best. He's probably stronger than a ton of athletes though since the size isn't just from having a good pump, ya know don't lift for a week you're stronger but smaller etc.

>>77260824
Indians can't look like that natty, thus the seethe
>>
>>77260854
I'm sure they can their roids probably suck though. This is more of what my mental fortitude will allow me to finally say maybe this isn't achievable natty.
>>
>>77259305
Yes but for 99% of people regardless of how much effort they put in, no. Hackenshmidt was a genetic marvel which statistically most people aren't that's why he got the results he did. A lot of people in this thread are schizoing out claiming that he had totally underground undermarket supersteroids in the 1900s which is the funniest shit ever. stop coping some people are just blessed more than you and try harder than you

The balls don't store testosterone, it created on an as needed basis, and is immediately released into general circulation. Also, the oral bioavailability of testosterone is only around 4% and a half life of only 30 minutes.
The Dutch researchers Ernst Laqueur and colleagues at the University of Amsterdam reportedly processed about 100 kg (220 lb) of bull testicles obtained from slaughterhouses. From this, they extracted only around 10 milligrams of purified testosterone-like substance in 1935.
That works out to roughly 1 mg per 10 kg of tissue or about 0.00001% yield
The quantities were so tiny that large scale extraction from animal tissue was impractical, which is one reason why chemical synthesis of testosterone later in 1935 was such a major breakthrough. Once chemists learned to synthesize it from cholesterol derived steroids, testosterone became commercially usable for medicine and research.

He was 4'5" tall like everyone of the era and despite being """natural""" they drank bull semen and took all sorts of random shit that would probably be considered not natty in our era.
>>
>>77261453
He was 5'9" you coping retard.
>>
>>77261453
Why do you lie?
>>
>>77260597
How tall are you? 5'9" 5'10"? As little as 3-4" can get you 15 lbs throughout the entire body. Some differences in muscle density can occur as well. Also none of those guys were really below 12% on stage. It's probably safe to say they were often 15% of higher. They just had the muscularity for a few separations when they flexed. If you're 10% and they're 15%, that's at least a 10 lbs or so difference from that alone. It really wasn't until after Gironda that people started to really cut down and pay attention to diet and people went on stage with conditioning that would be considered fat in modern bodybuilding and no one cared. They just focused on lifting and eating good healthy food. They were muscular enough that they could flex hard to get some separation while flexing.

Why does he have such a barrel chest but small arms? At 5ft9 there's no way that's 19 inch arms. It also looks like he only ever does wide grip flat bench, barely any chest thickness.>>77260735
This developed of a chest is what I expect from a tennis player who lifts.

They're all too worried about being lean. One of my college friends literally has 20 inch biceps he was a senior at the time, and we used to drink a shit ton, and we've talked about how gay it is to not be able to drink on steroids. He had lifted since he was 13 or so for reference.

He was so much stronger than his opponents that he was known for bear hugging them. And in the wiki it's noted that the contemporary style was a slower style lol. He was doing something right.

most people that glaze him don't have a clue of how unorthodox bronze era training was and would probably shit on anyone emulating him

besides you having it backwards,
nobody cared that much about their chest back then
it was all about overhead press

>Steroids have been around since antiquity

I've read that ancient greek athletes used to eat bull testicles and other such nonsense. I don't think what they had worked as well as the ones we have today though.
