Apparently "the bodybuilding bug bit Steve Stanley after he watched the movie "Pumping Iron" as an impressionable fifth grader back in 1976. Coupled with the debut of "The Incredible Hulk" TV show a few years later, it sparked a desire in Steve to study and draw human anatomy -- although at the time it was mostly 'pea green' anatomy".

It's certainly not my cup of tea - kitsch as hell don't you think. But then part of my kinda likes this stuff and that scares me.

By the way, in bodybuilding related news, nine times Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman is going to be in Australia in the month of October. You can find the the tour poster here.

Those drawings are really good, and very lifelike.
By the way, probably wouldn't pay and/or travel to see Ronnie Coleman, but he will be in good shape after the Mr. Olympia on the 1st of Oct.

disgustingly small penis

your penis doesn't become smaller by working out or taking steroids, if you think of the size of the arms and legs his penis would have to be friggin huge to not look small in comparison, and anyway, all your blood goes to your muscles when your pumped up, so your penis shrinks temporarily, have you never worked out?

the small penis is a side effect to taking steroids, which they take to look this way.

Don't be so ignorant! ...and do you research. You do not loose penis size from taking steroids. The comparison statement above, is very correct.
