Tumbling

Here we have a guy doing some tumbling in the barracks courtyard.

 

Jared

You regulars knew we weren't going to get through this without a naked photo of Jared French, who posed for literally hundreds of them in the Smithsonian donation.  At least this one is rather different.

 

Upside Down

Our last solo swimmer is a blond doing a handstand on a lakeside dock.

 

Interesting

Not just anyone could do this interesting pose.

 

Topsy Turvy I

In the first of two panels from Plate 488, a man is walking on his hands.

 

Topsy Turvy II

I don't know if our closing model from Plate No. 522 was an acrobat or contortionist.

I suppose he might have just a limber University of Pennsylvania student.

 

Topsy Turvy Day

It's topsy turvy day, and we start with a guy who is either lightly oiled or sweating.

 

Busy background

Somehow, the busy background doesn't distract me from the central concept of the photo.

 

Warwick?

Google says this might be those Warwick U. guys who constantly posed nude near water.

 

AMG

The location makes me think this is an AMG product, but I could be wrong.

I've been wrong lots and lots of times.

 

Nude Yoga

This guy is doing nude yoga in Amsterdam (where else?) in 1974.

 

Parallel Bars

Here we see a new and interesting version of a parallel bars gymnastic routine.

 

Splits

You don't see topsy turvy splits every day.

 

Tilt

This one looks like he might easily fall over.

 

Column help

Our closing picture is a bit of a cheat,

what with leaning on that column.

 

Doug Zarbach

I posted my own copy of this photo of Doug Zarbach (sometimes given as Zorbach) about five years ago, but since I know that quite a few of you like this sort of pose, I decided to post Bryan's version.

 

Either way

This guy could fall in several directions.

 

Topsy Turvy Day

It's topsy turvy day, and at least one man in each picture will be upside down.  We start with a guy 

who came straight out of the pool into a handstand.  The photographer did a fantastic job 

of capturing the image while the water was still running off the subject's body.

 

Simple

Sometimes it's the simple things in life that are best.

 

Aquatic

Everyone was used to being mooned by Tommy at the town 

aquatic center, but this day he took it a bit farther.
