Somebody said legs? Hack squats started here. Real ones with a barbell, not the machine.

so a barbell hack squat is a deadlift behind your legs?

LOL urine idiot.

Do you even lift?

6) James Alfred Moss

Not much is known on him - not height, weight, nor DOB (he was born pre-1900 though).

He was outcast by many of his peers because he had tattoos on his upper arms.

Eugene Sandow FTW! Most aesthetic body evar.

This. He is the GOAT, my inspiration. He basically invented bodybuilding. Used to go to museums and measure the ancient greek statues and copy the measurements. Probably the highest paid bodybuilder ever too, as he earned over 250k back then. Could buy a country for that much in the 1800s.

Here he is in his younger days, looks like he's carved out of marble:

Not really. They would most likely be shunned by everyone for looking so ridiculous.

In the early 1900s, size wasn't the deal-breaker. It was more about actual strength and aesthetics.
