An excellent article by Dave Webster on what was considered the ideal physique.
The article itself deal with the evolution of the physique throughout the history of bodybuilding. It starts with the first contests from the 1880’s when pioneers like Professor Louis Attila travelled the world inspiring young men to think of health and touches on all era’s up to and including the mid-1970’s.
