Yep that's my dad! Wrote a course on bodybuilding when he was a barber in like 1963 or something like that... You've seen that photo if you read any comic books in the 70s or magazines in the 70s or 80s. If you want to see something nostalgic, check out the tribute site one of my brothers put up: http://www.universalbodybuilding.com
Quite proud of dad! He sold as many or more courses as Charles Atlas for all the years he was in business. He was quite the entrepreneur, in the 70s every Marvel and DC comic book had anywhere from 1-5 ads of his in it. Bodybuilding, Kung-Fu, Cartooning for Money, How and Where to Pick Up Beautiful Girls and lastly 2000 Ways to Make Money.
Cheers,
Brad
Nice site! I'm sure if i print the picture more than few friends at the age of 40-50 (im only 24 btw) will recognize it as well. In my country, Greece, bodybuilding was introduced in a more professional way by Nick Zapatina in the middle 60s. Back then everything related to bodybuilding was in general very limited. All these guys including my father started bodybuilding after reading one of the few commercials like the one of your father's or after seen a hercules movie or even a picture.
At that times you had to pass a lot of situations to get in a good shape. Athletes didn't have proper knowledge, nutrition was pure and everything was up to your own effort. You were the one making the difference. That's why I admire escorpio the bodybuilders of the past decades. Their dedication was remarkable.
Now bodybuilding is a pure science and if you have money and will, everything is possible....but again...I've been inside a small gym from the of 14-15. 10000s young men came, joined the gym for a month or a bit more and quited. After ten years I can see pretty much the same guys with few exceptions. That's the rule.
Thanks a lot sinempire for sharing this pic and tell your father when you have a chance that he rules
You really think I am a numnut do you, ok do a search on google.com and type in:
stephen takacs
I am number #1, no numnut goes #1 on google. Now, what do you have to say to this?
This hardly a feat man, since your domain contains the two keywords stephen takacs and now you're getting all kinds of spiders picking up this thread should give you nice traffic.
But by far this is my favorite pic, you can see all the rage, the angst, the commitment..
im pretty much sure I have seen this picture in one of the local bodybuilding magazines i bought as a kid when they were republished. Is he really your dad? I admire the older bodybuilders from Steve Reeves up to Frank Zane.
Oh dude! You're right, I bought this to work out when I was in high school..holy shit

You guys really think you are funny. You don't have anything to do then wasting your time on here, the worst of all you are making money with porn. You have to be an idiot to do this. I make money with my muscles & I am proud of it, when I go to sleep at night, I have peace. When you guys go to sleep at night, you hold your own piece of meat. Now, I will not be replying anymore. I have better things to do......
when I go to sleep I have a nice woman beside me, money in the bank, and an overwhealming feeling of joy because I am making money at something I feel I am good at. As well I have a nice bottle of Jameson's sitting on my desk. This rocks.
why would anyone wanna be a panty waste redneck fuckwad like you who has the build of a fuckign 9 year old who ate too many cheese burgers? I coulda kciked your ass when I was in grade 5. You remind me of teh abckwoods french fucks from where I grew up. Did nothing but watch wresting and get roudy with heir buddies thinking they are all so fucking cool because they have a 2 inch muscle somewhere on their arm. Ive beta teh hell outta more fucking hicks liek you than you could ever fathom. Now go back to your pathetic life and get a REAL set of muscles. You have nothign worth showing off.
ever notice that body building rednecks such as steven have small penises? Unfortunate for steven he cannot use the excuse that he used steroids and it shrunk his penis, because he has no muscle to prove he took them. that pic of his wet spot rmeinds me of that power lifter female that pissed herself, ya know, that one floating around the net.
