earliest muscle-aware memory what's your earliest recollection of noticing muscles or imagining getting bigger or stronger? i recall a time when i was 4 or 5 and the boy across the street and i (he was about the same age) used to imagine we were hugely muscled and superstrong. he moved away to arizona, i think, when we were still little kids. occasionally i wonder if he grew up to be big/built or even to just wish he were huge... (i myself grew up to be "medium big" and to -- well i am posting this on this website!). |

Jack LaLanne when I was 3 or 4. I was watching his show and doing his exercises, then my younger brother said, "Mommy, Mommy, Ricky is EXercising!" She replied, "Good! He should!" Naturally, I was completely horrified and promptly stuffed my desire for muscle right into the closet I didn't know I was building. I came out of that one earlier than the other but it took a very long time (until I was about 20, I think.) xoxo Richard PS: Builtforsuperspeed: Post some pix, dammit! :-) |

I suspect this will be a memory for several people He-Man from 1982 although I dare say that some people may even suggest the following cartoons Space Sentinels Space Ghost __________________ The stronger they are, the more muscled they are |

Looking Back I knew that I liked muscles early on in my life but I KNEW that I liked muscle when I saw an article in Sports Illustrated called "Some Babes in the Woods." It was about a champion shot putter (Al Feuerbach, 6'1, 242lbs) and a champion discus thrower (Mac Wilkins, 6'4" 253lbs) who lived and trained together in the mountains of California. There was a picture of the two shirtless on the second page of the article. The two were 30 and 27 respectively at the time and both were incredibly muscular. Many of the weight throwers at that time were just big & fat. These guys were part of a new breed. Anyhow, I was hooked. Pumping Iron came soon thereafter! |

probably watching the Hulk on TV. A little too young to know why I was enjoying it. At the same time I was also enjoying Wonder Breasts (ahem, I mean) Woman. In real life.- in 8th grade one of my peers had been spending some time in the gym and bulked up a bit, and one day in the gym locker room was jumping back and forth across the concrete benches in the aisle and his pecs bounces very very nicely. -UrGaath |

(In fact, from an email I wrote to one of my less-narrow str8 fraternity brothers a year or two ago...) Speaking of the Power of Grayskull, thank god for VH-1's "I Love The Eighties". Without it, I never would have seen what a queer trailblazer Prince Adam really was. Forget the smart tunic and the bottle-blond pageboy haircut. (Man-at-Arms' Freddie Mercury moustache also gets honorable mention for subliminal gay propaganda in kids' cartoons.) Turns out (from some quick Internet research I did after seeing the [VH-1] show touch on the Masters of the Universe cartoon), Adam's opening-credits exposition really does read, "...Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword..." To quote Patrick Stewart's character in "Jeffrey", "Oh, me too."...The fact that Prince Adam was also "heroically" living a second life as a beefy muscleboy wearing a leather harness and some sort of "chastity-loincloth-looking-thing" was, of course, an added bonus. |

Earliest muscle aware memory...... My gym teacher in Junior High School, Mr Wahall. He was an ex-boxer, built like there was no tomorrow, and after gym class he would go into his office off of the gym floor and change his gym shirt in full view of everyone, showing off the biggest set of pecs and upper body that I can remember.....tall , thick and huge, quite the combination! Wish I could meet him again today...... |
