Dude gives back faith in natural bodybuilding, I'm about his height and what he achieved 120 years ago is pretty damn inspiring.
Yea it's awesome man! They should teach about these guys in schools. I'd sit for an entire course, breaking down diet, Training, etc. I guess we're fortunate to have these channels!
I'm not a bodybuilder, but anyone can draw inspiration from these guys.
u will never have this physique lol not even in a million years
@@1heilpeatler1 why?
120 Years ago a men have like 3x more Natural testo even a 20 yo in the 70 80 have like 2x all the plastic and stuff is very bad for male genetics
@@1heilpeatler1 Speak for yourself
some of his pics are just insane, near perfection
I wonder how he had great chest for bronze age
@@jmgonzales7701 he was a gymnast so probably he did dips and push ups
He was way ahead of the game, that's for sure. Have known about him for years, but yeah never really knew that much about him. Such a shame that he wasn't better appreciated in his day. Cheers for uploading, bro. To me, this channel has become kind of like a blend of the old school Nick's Strength and Power videos, Golden Era Bookworm but of course with a focus on natural athletes. Big props to you, man.
Thank you my friend! I really wish there was some way to dig up more information on Pandour... I wonder if maybe more was written about him back in the day but simply got lost over time. Him dying so young definitely didn't help things.

one of the earliest closeted body builders. the guy is a legend in the lgbtq community with many stories.
It’s funny that you know for a fact if this guy was a fitness influencer today he would be getting tonnes of “fake natty” accusations. Look at the picture on the far right at 5:50 - imagine he posted that on Instagram and said “100% Natty”... people would have a field day... those traps... 😂
Plus, if he looked that good back then, imagine him with the access to food/supplements, equipment and knowledge we have today. Dude would be an absolute beast.
This channel is doing very good work. 🙌🏻
I genuinely believe that what Arnold said in what of his older articles was true. "It is my opinion you can gain all the weight you want without them. Steroids are a very radical departure from physical culture. Far too much emphasis is placed on their value in the quest for an improved physique".
Yea they're useful, and the man himself used to pop 4 Dbol a day minimum. But that doesn't change that he was right in writing that.
@@CrypticWizard9
what an awful take lmao
I don't know how people can say that Greek and Roman statues were too large and well defined and could not have been based on real models. We have the photos of these men to lend credence to just how dynamic natural body builders can be. I just don't think anyone is comfortable with how far removed from the more holistic diets and exercises these gentlemen were surrounded by. A different way of life, and a true inspiration.
Well said
People who say you cannot obtain a muscular physique natural either doesn't know of bronze era bodybuilders and strongmen, or they just simply ignore the facts.
exactly
Lol they do even say so even if they have known of bronze era strongmen
Bronze era complete development.
These physiques impress me more then the modern mass mutants
Bobby Pandour is a legendary figure for most of us. Really appreciate your narration of him. There is another lesser known, but one of the greatest, figures that you may want to cover - he is called as the Indian Hercules aka Professor Rama Murthy! His story is jaw dropping and very inspiring
I like the fact that most bronze era bodybuilders had a similar physique just like greek statues.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING OF!😮😮😮😮😮🥰😍🤩😘😗☺️😚😙🥲😋😛😜🤪😝🤗🤭🤫🤔😏🤤🤒🥵🥶🥴😵😵💫🤯😯😲😳🥺😦😧😨😰😥😢😺😸😹😻😼😽🙀💋💋💋💋💋💌💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣️💔❤️🔥❤️🩹💯%!🏊♂️🏋🤽♂️🛀💢💥
That's what they were aiming for
Guy is jacked, one of the best of all time. Very impressive, never seen him before.
I was wondering how come you haven't covered Pandour yet, and here it is. Thank you. Even in Poland people are not aware of him.
Bobby Pandour's physique is absolutely phenomenal. He has no underdeveloped body parts at all! And all that over 100 years ago. It's so sad we know almost nothing about his workouts or what he ate.
Lots of underdevolped parts, but he is way better than sandow.
Do you think he was on the juice?
@@johnreidy2804 No they did'nt really have acess to them yet in the broze era
@@johnreidy2804 it wasnt made yet, they were natural for sure as “juice” was not invented at the time
@@deltalima6703 can u pls elborate I'm kinda new
Dude has more definition than a Greek Sculpture
I always found him to be more aesthetic than Sandow!
Sadly he is known less.
Sandow also sued Arthur Saxon for being stronger than him. Really makes me dislike Sandow.
@@Ian-yf7uf
how does that even work?
I've read that Saxon usually advertised himself as 'the man who beat Sandow' which make him pissed off
@@Ian-yf7uf Dont hate sandow man , I know what he did may be wrong , but no man is perfect .
What an amazing model he must have been for artists of his era!
Gymnasts and acrobats always seem to have the most noticeably incredible physiques
Even Gene Kelly almost had a physique like this, thanks to his gymnastic training before his dance training. Graceful yet strong! (Moe's gf commenting.)
Este tipo debe ser la mejor genética de la historia del culturismo!!
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this story!! I knew the name but I have never seen or heard much....THIS SPECIMEN IS EXQUISITE!!! Have a fantastic day!!!
Natty Life : Thank you so much for uploading this video to UA-cam. This guy had a beautiful body. You look at so many body builders today, especially the ones who obviously do steroids; and when you see them on stage with their bloated bellies, my first thought is "When's the baby due?" And my next thought is, "Who's the daddy?" I'm talking about the men. Too much steroids makes a man look like he's pregnant. Steroids don't just make your muscles grow; they make your organs grow. That's why so many body builders die young. They die from multiple organ failure. Bobby Pandour had a beautiful body; a natural looking body.
I for one hope that the people doing the lighting for the Olympia and Arnold classic are listening to this! Now that! That’s what I call lighting!
His low body fat is just as impressive as his muscle development, wow
Incredible physique, way ahead of his time... interesting combo of gymnastics & Muscle control, mentioned by later muscle control guys like Maxick.
He is very lean & muscular...wow!!
2:31 OMG! Great Channel buddy. You are a Master researcher and literally highlight what the human body is capable of without all the "supplements". Mind Blowing.
Thank you bro!

Sheesh his body is amazing; perfect muse for art. ❤
I could never look like this (nor would I want to as a woman) but AS a woman, I definitely admire his hard work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So many pictures I have not seen before. Awesome
Prononciation is good enough, im proud of you bro
Thank you for your help with it mate ;)
@@NattyLifeYT Do a video about "The lost secret to a great body"-David Bolton...
incredible he was so short and light, proportions are perfect so he look amazing
Glute striations 😮 how lean this guy was
Bobby Pandour died young and apparently did not sell products like Sandow did. I think that is why Sandow is remembered more, Bobby Pandour did not even write a book like many of the old Physical Culture bodybuilders did. A book would have added to his fame and memory. And in my opinion, he would have made a great Tarzan in the silent movie area.
An excellent detailed report.
Thank you
@@NattyLifeYT Do a video about "The lost secret to a great body"-David Bolton..
Dude, amazing video, about an amazing guy. Bravo 👏 👏
Thank you bro!
I’ve heard that he did Professor Attila’s Light Dumbbell System with 10lb Dumbbells (Considered quite a feat as ther stuck its 5lb & Sandow with 7lb) being what helped him build his physique. With also doing his strong man act later on & going up and down a long flight of stairs with his brother on his back.
Seeing these natural physiques, makes me feel so much more secure about mine.
Realizing that I’m fucking jacked and pretty much at my peak for a natural athlete
I wonder how he had great chest for bronze age
@@jmgonzales7701 what do u mean
@@jmgonzales7701 being a gymnast he probably did a lot of dips and push ups
The low fat % it's really rare, I had never seen a old bodybuilder with this physic
😍🤩 Thank you for this. He was a beautiful creature.
In his upper-body weight training he used 10-pound dumbells in addition to bodyweight exercises; & for his legs, he would run up flights of stairs while carrying his brother on his back.
Allegedly, Bobby Pandour also refused to use weights over 10kg. since I train with the methods of the Bronze Era myself, I believe that too.
what is the reasoning behind this bro?
@@jasonvoorhees5640 Because a muscle under voluntarily generated tension and light weights is exposed to a much higher internal mechanical pressure than a muscle that is subjected to involuntary mechanical tension by heavy weight.
10 lbs**
He is so lean. I wonder if he had some form of lipodystrophy... I was reading this week about a US runner with that plus another genetic condition and the combo made her very very lean and muscular (so much so that they often tested her for steroids) ... but that "advantage" put her on course for an early grave due to the fat in her blood. (She got it under control and as far as I know is still with us). Priscilla Lopes-Schliep.
interesting theory
These guys do tend to die young...
Wow, you did perfect job pronouncing his last name.
😁 thank you, it took a bit of practice

0:40 The dying gaul sculpture from late antiquity
Love your pictures, voice and video edits !! MORE CLASSIC BRONZE ERA BLACK AND WHITE VIDEOS !
Man he is a champion and brilliant showman, he certainly knew pageantry. His balanced physique i hypothesize owes a lot to his acrobatics which really require advanced and pragmatic musculature.
Modern bodybuilding just doesn't hit the same
Greetings from Poland;) Thank you!
Great series of videos! I had an off topic question for you : Could you make a video on preventing injuries while training?
Testosterone was way higher back then. 20 year old men of today have the testosterone levels of 80 year old men. That alone can make the men back then look like they are on steroids when theyre not, testosterone is everything to a man and affects every thing about them.
Our DNA didn't change, only our life styles. These guys ate whole natural foods, worked a lot and slept very well, didn't suffer with so much stress, if you do these things, you will have testosterone like them
@@adidasnike5899 nobody said our DNA changed, our testosterone did. Your saying the same thing i said, but as if you disagree. The good food added to the testosterone, its all about testosterone.
Our testosterone nor genetics havent changed. The opposite, our will to be the best we can be (that means no cheating with steroids) and to sacrifice many pleasures for a goal are different in todays time. Our bodies are still the same but our minds are soft
Cope. Stop being a pussy.
Thank you for this beautiful, fascinating biography!
You did mention Professor Attila as his mentor. Sandow also had Attila as a training mentor. So Attila or Sandow books would be about the same training techniques which Pandour used. That is also why they looked similar in muscle definition.
Big inspiration of mine as we have similar body types except I have many weaknesses 😂
Great content man. Enjoyed it a lot!
Very impressive ripped physique for that time period.
Love This Channel. Great job 🙌👍
Thank you :)
The guy looks like he is made of steel !
Its good to admire these legends, its honor to bring them back current juiced era by following their routine, both diet and WO
Hence please share any more information around this
So he was the first gym bro...I love it
I can see how his shredded glutes gained your supreme admiration.
actual greek god aesthetics
He is one of the Bronze Era with a body I would like to have. Even more than Eugene Sandow.
Another excellent video!
Nice to see that your subscriber count has exploded :)
He’s a prime example of incredible genetics regardless of era……
Slavic!
@@strengthandbulkMadness so many Poles are genetic beasts
What a guy 💪
People today would shit on his posts and call him juiced
Good work
His physique is the best I've seen from that era. You have guys on gear who don't look anywhere as good as him .
That's insane 160lbs at 5'6 that ffmi is basically maxed
My favorite bodybuilder, I prefer to look like Bobby pandour
Over all of pharmacy pros we have now
Bobby used Attila's light dumbbell system; at his strongest, he was using 10 pound dumbbells for that routine.
Anyone who has tried that routine can certainly confirm that 10 pounds dumbells are a big weight for it, as it consists of hundreds of reps across many exercises and can already be challenging at the prescribed weight of 5 pound dumbells
What a specimen he was
Nice work/research.
I like his arms much better than Sandow. Sandow had wider clavicles that made him look better and Eugene was probably better at marketing, especially with his lifts. Tho, I'm not the biggest Sandow fan as I am a bigger fan of Arthur Saxon.
Please make episode for premchand degra Indian natural Mr universe
Look up golden era bookworm…. He covered Bobby
I don't know much about Bronze Era body builders but most of them seem to be from the mid European area or are descendants from there
Because bodybuilding was born there.
Strongman competitions were very popular in Germany and Eastern Europe, even the Tzar used to perform strength training.
Soon some strongmen realized that people wanted to see them flex their muscles and so bodybuilding was born
That guy was just around ~70kg? until you mentioned it, I assumed this peak aesthetic Greek statue of a man weighed around ~80-90kg maybe at 5'9 - 6'2
wake up babe new bodygoals just dropped
Yeah, you also assume weightlifting is the best way of getting ripped😂
I never said that, though it's definitely the best way to get big and strong
the best way to get ripped is through auschwitz dietary plan
The dude looks just like the Greek marble sculptures!
Alan P. Mead is one of my favorites from the Bronze era, one of the most impressive physiques ever dispite having a handicap of only one leg.
Beautiful
Love the content keep posting
His body was amazing!
really cool channel, thx brov.
My new idol
Can you share some of their techniques and routines
He did workout with 10 lb dumbells .. and heavy training with brother by hand To hand numerous circus..
His legs are amazing.
Great pronounce of his name, no joke
Thanks, I had a Polish buddy help me with it 😁 definitely was not an easy one lol

A very beautiful man!!
NO WORDS.AMAZING.
Even with taking copious amounts of pro-hormones in the 90's. I never looked as good as this gent.
Talk about ripped!
WHAT IS GYMNOPHOBIA?
It is an obsession that has to do with the body. In essence, it is the fear of nudity and it generates a lot of anguish and anxiety.
Gymnophobia shows a general fear of nudity, either seeing other people naked or being seen naked or even a combination of both at the same time. However, it is not the usual modesty that arises for this reason in society. The irrational fear experienced by gymnophobics constitutes a pathology and supposes a limitation. The problem prevents them from enjoying a healthy sexual life, but also from activities of daily existence, such as going to the beach or to the doctor, in which certain body exposure is necessary.
Due to the cultural influence of psychoanalysis, there is a tendency to think that this phobia comes from a trauma. But in reality it is not usually like that. Gymnophobia is caused by erroneous cognitive schemes - for example, by the excessive tendency to compare oneself with others - or poorly adaptive emotions, in the case of the compulsive need to satisfy the expectations of others in order to feel loved.
This leads to excessive self-criticism that prevents us from accepting our own body.
The truth is that it can have very different causes. Those who have experienced sexual trauma, for example, are at higher risk for this phobia, in part because they feel especially vulnerable when they are naked or experience nudity as a triggering event for that trauma.
Similarly, fear of nudity can also be caused by being raised in a conservative culture or religion that discourages nudity and sexual expression.
Children and adolescents can also develop this fear if they are bullied or shamed for some reason related to their bodies, for example if they are developing more or less rapidly than their peers.
In many cases, in fact, this problem ends up leading to body dysmorphic disorders in which the person becomes obsessed with some part of their anatomy and can completely distort physical reality. Fear of intimacy or feeling vulnerable is also a trigger. Lastly, having surgical scars or other disfigurements can cause further body shaming which can easily turn into gymnophobia.
The most effective treatment is psychotherapy. A mix between relaxation techniques and systematic desensitization or progressive approach to the feared stimuli.
Gymnophobia can be disabling in many cases, because something as simple as going to buy clothes at a shopping center can become a task that can be postponed indefinitely due to having common dressing rooms. In a school setting, they may skip the shower after playing sports or even ask to have sex in total darkness, with the lights off.
And it is that the fear of sex or sexual intimacy is included in a more generic category called "genophobia" or "erotophobia". It is a condition that can cause intense fear or panic when sexual intimacy is attempted. For some people, even thinking about it can cause these feelings.
Nudity is beautiful do not feel afraid or afraid to show it.
I’ve been a natural athlete all of my life I’m 33. I don’t know anything about steroids or gear or performance-enhancing drugs, except that I know about them. However, I’m also interested in making movies and being a action, hero star, and having the most incredible physique like Bruce Lee, but may be better if it’s possible. If it’s possible to have a better physique than any of these guys, I would like to do that. And for those couple of months that I’m making the film, I would like to use some type of something that will take me to the next level, but won’t harm my body. So I basically want to look like these guys or Bruce Lee and then take some thing and just have a type of scientific training that will make me the most amazing physic ever.
This should be the standard peak performance and those are hard and shaped muscles capable to generate loth of power. A balance between power and speed. He can run, swim, clime with ease and produce decent amount of static power. And that esthetic, by trade i am a stone sculptor and those are some magnificent proportions. He is almost 170cm were you start to loose the big head syndrome and the small wings and thick torso. And he always tilt his head to make it smaller on photo this guy was a artist a true visionary.
He bring the ancient Greek esthetic to modern era, a buff version of Michelangelo David.
I'm the same height and can have the same type of build as him.
I'm very inspired
My favorite one. I'm a fateless ultra ectomorph who just can't get any muscle. But if I found a magic lamp and could ask for a single wish, I'd gladly ask to get the physique of Pandour.
Please cover bheem bhawani from india who defeated sandow
Nice vid man
1:54 never seen this before, he is my favorite definitely natural
He's such an inspiration. As a short guy myself I strive for a natural physique like his. Great video as always!!
In that modern example clip you showed the bodybuilder didn't really appear to be flexing his muscles on stage. By that I mean the tissue didn't seem to contract and relax very much as he posed. It's weird.
BRAVO !!
