Why does every celeb suddenly look like they’re training for the Hunger Games? From Marvel stars to comedians, everyone’s jacked these days. But where did this obsession with muscles even come from? Turns out, the story of bodybuilding is way weirder than protein shakes and gym selfies. Think: Victorian strongmen lifting grand pianos, a ripped Jesus in church art, the FBI spying on fitness programs, and a 6’1” circus queen who literally bodied the world’s first bodybuilding star. This episode dives into the sweaty, sexy, and unhinged history of muscle culture... how it went from “low-class freak show” to a billion-dollar industry. So grab your dumbbells (or your snacks), maybe stretch a lil... and get jacked for the Dark History of Bodybuilding! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
