The statue illustrated left caused a considerable stir when the 25 yr old Michelangelo unveiled it. Some even added a clip on fig leaf!

Pictures here are set at 100%.

A shot here is life class style, rear view. No offence is intended here, since a well built male body is not, to my mind obscene. The Greeks and Romans (and later Italians) sculpted it for all to see. That only is the intent of this gallery. If you think you may be offended, then hit the return button. Do not scroll the page. No life class style image here is of a guy under 16 years old.

Pics of Sam Late teens.

I chose this pair of pics because Sam shows a relatively lightly developed physique.The left pic clearly shows the lower part of the Latissimus Dorsi, Trapezius and the Triceps, though his Deltoids in this view are not too obvious. Gluteus Maximus is also well developed. The right hand shot shows the beginnings of quad development, and the chest area shows both Pectorals and Serratus Anterior. The Abdominals are relaxed in this pose, but he clearly has a solid abdominal area. Deltoids tie in nicely and in general the shoulder balance is good. This type of physique develops very rapidly in training.
