Bronze Era Bodybuilders Built Armor, Not Abs (We Got It Backwards)

The muscles that surround your gut, your organs, and your spine — those are the muscles you should want to be as thick and strong as possible. So why did bodybuilding spend sixty years trying to shrink them? Here's what the record shows. The thick, blocky midsection you see on Bronze Era lifters wasn't a training limitation. It wasn't because they lacked knowledge of isolation work or waist-cinching techniques. It was the output of a system that trained the body as a survival machine — and the narrow-waisted V-taper that replaced it wasn't an improvement. It was a detour driven by drugs, by judging criteria that stopped caring whether a bodybuilder could actually do anything, and by an influential trainer whose opposition to squatting was based entirely on how it affected the silhouette of his clients' backsides.
