body trainer

I found this great Dolph Lundgren workout tape on facebook. I can't believe Quentin Tarantino was a production assistant on this! For a selection of amazing film stills and an awesome soundtrack (hacked by Uncle T-NUC for his project POWERGLOVE) check out "Maximum Potential" on fb/.

The Craft Center - Muscle and Brains!

"In the late 1980's, I was the only bodybuilder training regularly at "Dr. Squat" - Dr. Fred Hatfiels's exercise research laboratory - The Craft Center in Reseda, CA. I lived right next to the Craft Center and as the "resident bodybuilder" I had all these great minds to pick at a cutting edge exercise research laboratory."
- Andreas Cahling


Andreas Cahling "hooked up" by Professor G. Laich, MD.


Andreas Cahling monitored by Dr. Laich and Dr. Hatfield.
Fred Hatfield could squat with more than 1000 lbs (460 kg)!

Do yourselves a favour and watch the following video.

That fitness tool looks like they got it from the arcades. Is that an early Atari game on the monitor?

Fan photo with Dutch pro Berry De Mey.

Photo from his pre-muscle days with his idol Bob Paris.

"Power Up!" Classic bodybuilder Ron Love. P.S.: LOVING the pink weightlifting belt on the bottom of the photo! Would love even more to see him wearing it.


On the far right: the very handsome and still in shape Gary Strydom


Thank you, Shawn Ray, for sporting pink zebra tights back in the days. You guys were awesome. Simply awesome.

Thank you, Bob Gardner, for this great photo.


"HHNNNNNRRRRRRGGGHH!!!"




Sorry, poor quality - still a marvelous pic.

For those of you who only know metric: 27 inches would be 68.6 cm...

This could be either an ad for some protein shake or for Pantene Pro-V


You gotta love-hate the late 80s long-haired bodybuilder look. This guy looks like a Chippendale dancer or maybe a young Fabio.

The Untouchables... So these guys belong to the Indian Pariah caste?
The 80's saw the rising of the typical bulky sweat pants that are supposed to make your thighs look muscular and bull-legged.
Bodybuilder Mike Christian understood the sign of the times and started his company PLATINUM EVERYWEAR BY MIKE CHRISTIAN. *shudder* So all you hipsters lookin for some o so weird-in-a-rad-way 80's style Mike Christian parachute pants: Try on ebay as they don't make them anymore. If you're lucky you might find yourself an original "Party Surprise" (second from left).

In this photo very 80's bodybuilder Tom Platz is either
- working out so hard his muscles are producing electricity. How green.
- being attacked by Ming the Merciless.
