Weird how back then gymnastics, swimming, and track and field were all still basically what they are today but gym culture had absolutely no idea how to strength train or do cardio. It’s not like the concept of exercise was foreign to people. But it’s like they just became complete morons when they tried to make a gym. I blame capitalism. The amount of bullshit exercise equipment has always been a thing and it looks like it never will go away.
There is an old-time strong man, Hermann Goerner, who worked out in a gym that had an attached pub. Lads would hang out for hours lifting and drinking.
My guess would be because safety is a thing and nobody (gym) wants to be responsible for some morons getting drunk and breaking their necks with barbells or something.
supine bar upperydoos are the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little smidge of a dwarf with an equally embarrassing upperydoo.
nobody gives a shit that you can roll your gravely rotund flank off of your thighs for your little bullshit "bent press". nobody cares about your 5 repetition kettlebell "swings".
you absolute rakefire bellend, you voted for stanley johnson didn't you. if it wasn't for this depression i'd be able to buy my own equipment and free myself from you frogposters
lmao look at this absolute bellend. that much pressure on your backbone will only strengthen your backbone and not legs. this meme exercise will never catch on
What’s the point of me getting fit if I’m going to die like a dog on the battlefield just cause some moustache dude and some asiatics decided to invade some countries I’ve never heard about?
I think I remember this guy, a few years back my lady and I were touring Vienna and I swear we bought a postcard from him. He was decent artist and seemed like a nice guy, though we could tell he was struggling to make ends meet, se we tipped him well. Glad to see he's doing well for himself now
How does some poor sap like me start on the road to getting a physique as well as learning the grapples and holds of Jim Londos?
Some jerk gave me the high hat in front of my babe Marge and I'm aching to belt the sap.
I'm liftin 'ere!

Why is this not a thing anymore
My guess would be because safety is a thing and nobody (gym) wants to be responsible for some morons getting drunk and breaking their necks with barbells or something.
It could probably be a thing, but not in the USA
Women would ruin it
And if you didn't let them in, they'd sue for discrimination
Would it be possible if it was private membership?

Inventions from before 1960 always look so fun, silly, and, well, inventive.
