健美运动员吉恩·詹森与妻子帕特及11个月大的儿子肯特，1950年

Most photographers’ work is heavily curated. They take tons of pictures in order to get one great one. They’re obviously talented at it too but a big part of it is that they keep shooting. Most people would be better photographers if they simply shot a bunch of photos instead of the usual one of each thing they shoot.

We landed on the baby!

Right? That got super dark, super quick. also 'accidentally'? Is anyone else morbidly curious about the back story here? edit: spelling

I hope those dogs got adopted at least.

Death. Death. Engagement announcement!

I don't think so, I mean people kill accidentally kill themselves all the time now. Plus, I think if you planned on killing yourself with a .22 you'd go for a headshot. I don't think you'd do it to where you'd take an hour to die. He probably accidentally shot himself in the gut trying to clean it, just like people do nowadays.

I remember hearing about a grand uncle who died when "the gun he was cleaning went off". Sounded super suspicious to me but when people are buying into it you don't really want to push them for the truth and upset the apple cart.

It can be really hard to tell, guns had way less safety features back then, and there was a lot less of a culture of gun safety.

At 11 months? No way. They lose those reflexes around 6 months old just like the moho reflexes. They could also MAYBE hold their weight for a few seconds but they’re not that strong. Mine at 7 months is beefy but no way could he pull his entire body up and hold it there.

Hold my sugartit, I'm going in!

Being slightly involved in the bodybuilding community, I will always admire the amount of dedication and devotion it takes to get to “monstrosity” point you see in modern bodybuilding. People say shit like “blah blah steroids” but that is only a fraction of it. It takes year of eating perfectly and training obsessively to make it to that monster physique you see in open bodybuilding. And I agree with you, it’s too much. I prefer the physiques from the 60s and 70s when size was just as important as being lean and a somewhat attainable appearance. I don’t mind the classic physique division too much, it’s more of that classic bodybuilder look that I prefer. I still have nothing but admiration for what those mass monster bodybuilders put themselves through to get that point though.

I mean, that may be true if you have no interest in bodybuilding, but then I'm not sure why you'd be asking that question. I've been a recreational powerlifter for about 5 years now, and I've picked up some stuff from bodybuilding, since you can chase aesthetics and strength at the same time. Look up the classic physique category, and it'll be more in line with what the average person thinks of when they think aesthetic, although nowadays even they are getting pretty big. It's for sure more of the look I want to have some day. From my understanding the biggest problem you see with the mass monsters is something in their gut is growing from heavy use of insulin to feed the muscles. It's called bubble gut, and almost everyone agrees it completely ruins aesthetics. The problem is bodybuilding is a sport that is very political, and they'd rather have their celebrities win, even if they clearly look terrible. I could go on, but I've probably went on too far anyway. The politics largely stem from profiting off the ponzi scheme that is celebrity endorsed supplements. There are a few supplements that work well, and they're well known and cheap, but everyone wants to push the new miracle that has no empirical or anecdotal support. But they see this wildly successful bodybuilder promoting it, and in a way, think they'll achieve something similar when they use it. There's no shortcuts; even PEDs. It's a lot of hard work, and the people using shortcuts (insulin) are paying for it.

He might also be bulking for all we know.

True, diet insights have come a long way too.
