He was jailed in 1957-58 when the Detroit Police, assisted by his father, raided his studio. A lot of those Academy models were workmen making extra money, so those great muscles probably came from hard work.Vintage Muscle Menhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653188564625879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-11441282703068775572023-01-10T10:27:20.774-10:002023-01-10T10:27:20.774-10:00Le modele a un physique defini par le mur pour son...Le modele a un physique defini par le mur pour son age.

Ideally, including as much detail as possible. No part of the physique should be "improved". I find that I get drawn as I am, a classic sized man. Size based on perhaps an average during the pose. I, and I've seen most other male models, tend to "adjust" a lot to ambient temperature.
