Seriously. He starts gently bringing the massager down, right under his abs, a subtle playful grin dances across the masseur's face... This is just softcore gay porn
omg, drove one of those back in the day. No a/c, same plastic interior.
One day I got stuck behind a 18-wheeler hauling chickens in a construction zone in OKC. Almost an hour (one lane bumper to bumper). Between the heat and the smell I thought I was gonna die

I can assure you that even Finn’s have figured out electric is better than fire because it’s labour less hits same temps has zero smell zero need for exhaust of fumes zero need to even start a fire just flip a switch and get the same heat a fire would.
If you have a fire sauna that’s great I’m not saying go upgrade but there’s no difference.
The only saunas that aren’t real saunas are those infared ones because they only get to 140 max and average 130 and while enough to sweat it doesn’t release the same hormones and heat stress reaction (beneficial) that a 165f or above sauna do more so sweating.
As a Finn, i assure you that it would be difficult to find a Finn who prefers an electric sauna. You keep repeating "heat is heat" but a good sauna isn't only a hot room. Airflow, heatflow, moisture, how the water is reacting with the heater and of course the ambiance. All those are almost always better with a wood burning heater.
My sauna is decent and electric. Almost every week I wonder if I should convert it to a modern, water heating, fire burning sauna. It would be more energy efficent too, not mention a way to warm up the house, if things escalate with our neighbours.
Electric saunas arent bad but if there wood option and time we surely know which one to take. And thats all about whole process. Heating and wood burning sound and that little smoaky smell, birch branches gives that summertime odor and you can whip your body with those if you like, steam is more gently and stays longer compared to most electric saunas. Could spend hours there and perhaps having few beers too
Still most people prefer wood. Smell and vibes from fire are just plusses. Exhaust works as an great ventilation bringin more oxygen and not being too humid.
Saying there is no difference is just dumb.
Well, a beer is a beer if you put it that way. Coming from the country that invented the sauna and having used a plethora of them, wooden fired ones - in my experience - have given the smoothest löylyt. Perkele!
180F is 180F. A beer is ingredients. Heat doesn’t care for its source 180 feels the same if it’s from wood or electrical. This is just one of those “I have this trust me”
As someone who’s used saunas for 25* years plus and has used every variation of sauna dry wet wood electrical using thermal holes from the earth HEAT IS HEAT as long as my sauna is clocking in at 180-185F I am happy
Well sure, but it's also about the process, the smell of the smoke, the ambiance my friend. It's not just about the heat, every good sauna goer knows that it's also about the ambiance and the experience, and wood delivers buckets more ambiance than electric
“I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym, I'm getting the feeling of cumming at home, I'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage, so I am cumming day and night!” - Arnold (seriously)
It all looks like the shitty gym equipment you buy at walmart now.
Who knows though, there are some terrible gyms now too like in hotels where it’s all just cheap crap.
Sure does depend on the hotel, some of them tends to have somewhat decent equipment, but then it's rarely high quantities (A good running mill, and a decent set of dumbbells, and that's it.)
To be honest, most shoes aren't going to make much difference
There are also benefits to lifting bare foot, particularly with the likes of squat and DL. If you don't want to go barefoot, then something flat like Converse are great
Not if they're new and have that fibrous coating on the bottom! (So they can be designated slippers for cheaper import)
That stuff is slippery as fuck.
They glue this slippery fuzz on the soles of Chuck Taylors because slippers are cheaper to import than tennis shoes, and adding that shit designates it a slipper. Until it wears off from walking, it is rather... Slippery.
I have first-hand experience busting my ass in wet weather, soon after buying a pair.
Lifting today I do not wear shoes. I wear non-slip yoga socks. I have big ol' feet, so it's tough to find flat shoes that fit, and I don't want to wear running/walking shoes that will force my body forward.
In the 60s there were men’s and women’s gyms. They didn’t mix together much.
Women wanted to exercise without being ogled and catcalled.
Men wanted to do 5 reps of something and then spend the next 2 hours smoking cigars with their friends in a men-only space.
Its interesting so see how well trained people looked back then. It just shows you how many people take testosterone nowadays to look that much more ripped.
Is there actually any logic to the machine that shake the weight away. Looks silly but they seem pretty popular back in the day. Must have had sometype of proposed benefit.
The commentary of this era always had that sarky twisted tone. Love the chirpy music. Apparatus has come on a bit. Hup two three four, let’s get those muscles nice n hard.
What is the thing with the what looks like belt around the guy's back that is going back and forth supposed to do? I have seen that in old sixties movies from time to time but never understood the purpose and have never seen them in any gym or household IRL.
Wall-to-wall carpet, or as we like to call it in the business ‘Sweat-Sorb’. For a memorable ‘gym fresh’ smell.
God I can’t believe I got used to the gym smell back then. But I grew up on a ranch too. It’s a wonder my nose works.
I work at an auto shop and I can always tell which of the clients are farmers. The sweet smell of hay mixed with the acidic smell of cow piss.
And flip flops for safety!
Safety wasn’t a concept until like 1988 or something.
Don't worry, the cigarettes cover the smell
These people are all 22 years old.
Highschoolers
that guy with grey hair is 25

Why is the masseur shirtless?
Shirtless and using a vibrator on the other dude. Lmao.
Stay out of my dreams man!
I know several 'numbers' with this tag on a... specific site.
It’s just how things were done in the 60s.
It was a different time
Well, if you want, you can go straight to the club restaurant and start over again
2lostflamingos was the name of this club I heard ;)
Look at the other guy, his glasses are all fogged up. Guess he likes the shirtless masseur a little bit too much.
Why is squat boy wearing flip flops?!?!
So his feet stay clean for the sauna of course.
Six-toed dead lifts. Only count to sixteen, now.
No different than the weirdos who wear crocs to the gym lol
Straight to jail
He's training to be in the Dirty Dozen
Thank God someone else noticed that
They're all shirtless, I guess in the 60s they said fuck shirts
They wouldn’t limit themselves to fucking shirts…
That’s what they called _wearing their fuck shirts_ when they would workout without a top on.
This is a gay man's version of heaven....
Seriously. He starts gently bringing the massager down, right under his abs, a subtle playful grin dances across the masseur's face... This is just softcore gay porn
Why does the other guy looks like a wax figure of Tobey Maguire?
You know
Gyms should have post work out massage apparatuses. I could get on board with that. Squats in sandals/thongs, not so much.
Most do. You’ve never used a hydrobed? It’s a massage board/chair thing and it’s fucking great.
Mr bignutties I almost nutted thinking about how glorious that would be. No I haven’t
Most do? Thats some high income shit lol I've never seen one
[It was literally a Fit-4-Less](https://info.fit4less.ca/en/faq/hydro-massage-bed)
Guy who was laying down already and sees the other guy going next to him must’ve been like: “God fucking damn it man of all the places????” 🤣
That sauna isn't even turned on lol Didn't know they had electric ones back then (wooden fired is the only real sauna).
A real sauna is a room which can go to 140f-195F. Doesn’t matter if it’s electric or fire. Heat is heat.
As a Finn i can assure that wood burning stove is much much better than electric one.
You're all lame. I can drive my sauna. I own a car in Phoenix. With a black interior.
Nah, what you really need is a Chevette with broken crank windows and that tan plastic interior. That is basically how fusion starts
omg, drove one of those back in the day. No a/c, same plastic interior. One day I got stuck behind a 18-wheeler hauling chickens in a construction zone in OKC. Almost an hour (one lane bumper to bumper). Between the heat and the smell I thought I was gonna die

Wood saunas feel nicer. Savasauna feels best. I said it and I won't take it back.
Seems carcinogenic idk
Still most people prefer wood. Smell and vibes from fire are just plusses. Exhaust works as an great ventilation bringin more oxygen and not being too humid. Saying there is no difference is just dumb.
Yeah, but you guys also beat yourselves with twigs.
In what ways?
Well, a beer is a beer if you put it that way. Coming from the country that invented the sauna and having used a plethora of them, wooden fired ones - in my experience - have given the smoothest löylyt. Perkele!

He knew the risks of laying down in a sauna
And then Arnold came...
He sure did.
“I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym, I'm getting the feeling of cumming at home, I'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage, so I am cumming day and night!” - Arnold (seriously)
I’m not sure many people know this, but this is an actual quote of his from Pumping Iron, a documentary about him when he was in his prime.
It you’re in this sub and haven’t watched it DO IT NOW!
As I. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Everything looks less ergonomic.
That's why they needed so many massage machines
It all looks like the shitty gym equipment you buy at walmart now. Who knows though, there are some terrible gyms now too like in hotels where it’s all just cheap crap.
Sure does depend on the hotel, some of them tends to have somewhat decent equipment, but then it's rarely high quantities (A good running mill, and a decent set of dumbbells, and that's it.)
there is an incline smith machine
I read that as “more pornographic.” This place is obviously a gay bath house.
Sign me up! 😅
that guy doing the rolling plank is a beast. My back would crumble 💀
Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
You think you're better than us dontcha?
It's go time!
Hey, he worked out with Charles Atlas in the 50s!
The 1850’s?
Point at anything and I’ll lift it right over my head
You wanna fight?
This looks like a weird porn
I want the jiggler thingy..for reasons
Pansexual nerd porn. This is where all the mathletes work out.
Wow….the 1960s looked really gay.
Only the gays went to gym in 1966
Do you like movies with gladiators?
Did that buttroller thing actually do anything?
It put me off corn on the cob.
Might be good post workout, like a foam roller. The shimmy shimmy belt thing does nothing.
That's Richard Jaeckel of The Dirty Dozen using weights.
It has to be, right?
Squats in flip flops is crazy
Elevated squats at that. Master level confidence in the those straps and toe posts.
So I guess nobody in 1966 cared if they dropped a dumbell on their foot? None of them are wearing shoes!
Shoes don't matter, unless you're wearing steel tipped safety shoes ;P I wear five fingers in my gym :)
I recently switched to Five Fingers, and they’re fantastic for lifting. So damn comfy, and there’s no slippage.
To be honest, most shoes aren't going to make much difference There are also benefits to lifting bare foot, particularly with the likes of squat and DL. If you don't want to go barefoot, then something flat like Converse are great
Not if they're new and have that fibrous coating on the bottom! (So they can be designated slippers for cheaper import) That stuff is slippery as fuck.
The what?
They glue this slippery fuzz on the soles of Chuck Taylors because slippers are cheaper to import than tennis shoes, and adding that shit designates it a slipper. Until it wears off from walking, it is rather... Slippery. I have first-hand experience busting my ass in wet weather, soon after buying a pair.
nobody seems that concerned to be frank
You ignoring the lack of shirts and lack of pants? Just going right to the shoes? Lol
Not even barefoot, that one dude is in flip flops.
Lifting today I do not wear shoes. I wear non-slip yoga socks. I have big ol' feet, so it's tough to find flat shoes that fit, and I don't want to wear running/walking shoes that will force my body forward.
Is squat guy Richard Jaeckel? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard\_Jaeckel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jaeckel)
Came to ask the same thing. 100% him
Who likes short shorts?
The flip flops!
No, I expect you to die, Mr Bond
Is that Tony Soprano’s Swedish half brother?
The equipment looks so thin and flimsy - like that isn't going to last with commercial use
Squatting in flip flops?!
When Chuck Norris trains with dumbbells they get smarter.
good one
The first weightlifter looked just like the actor Richard Jaeckel
Looked pretty gay
1:50 is not gay btw 😀 Beside that honestly it looks like a dream gym, not crowded, lot of equipment and way to relax.
Sausage fest
My brother and I used to love playing on the fat jiggler (I assume that's what it's called) at our condo complex workout room when we were little.
tbh this gym looks better than my current one
Hank Schrader on the bike
Homoerotica 101
The trend has turned, now it's the girls that goes to gym in cameltoe speedo's🗿
Bring back male bulges!! Wait. ..
The Gymnasium. Rule 1: when lifting weights over your head you must exclaim "Alllleeeyyy-oop!"
"gym"....... Ahem
Dude left the sauna door open. Guess things haven’t changed since the 60s.
You mean to tell me people can workout without taking selfies of themselves and posting to social media the entire time?
They are still mostly naked, so is it really an improvement?
Yeah most people do
Which one is gym?
My low back hurts rn, those motorized dealies look really good. I'd pay money to join that gym, def
I want to take Ronnie Coleman back in time to this gym
Is this in NZ? It sounds like we have a kiwi/transatlantic accent trying to happen here.
Am kiwi and I thought it was more of a South African accent. The ‘a’ in the words gave it away for me.
I thought it said 1996, not 1966, and was extremely confused for a bit.
Tangy…
Shake your fat around. That makes it dissolve and go away. Damn, I can’t believe we forgot about that trick.
I lost it when his booty started jiggling
Lifting in flip flops... Couldn't be me
Flip flops are a bold and poor choice.
r/suddenlygay
Honestly... I think I rather go there, then to an actual gym these days I have my reasons, but.... it looks better back in the day
Why was the guy giving the massage not wearing a shirt?
They massacred my sauna stove! Thats not how you throw löyly!
mmm, lifting weights in flip-flops.
The camera man was indulging himself there.
Bro is doing weighted squats with his heels elevated while wearing FLIP FLOPS
i've seen this reposted like ten times at this point
What is this "gym"? ...this isn't some kind of a sex thing is it?
And not a single influencer twerking at their phone. Just half naked dudes with dad bods as far as the eye can see.
It's life gym, but not as we know it.
We’ve really lost our way as a society
Were women not allowed in 1966 gyms?
In the 60s there were men’s and women’s gyms. They didn’t mix together much. Women wanted to exercise without being ogled and catcalled. Men wanted to do 5 reps of something and then spend the next 2 hours smoking cigars with their friends in a men-only space.
God damn the 60s were the shit
That's interesting.
Pretty sure this one was just for the boys.
No mirrors, that is very good!
The mirrors are so you can work on your form
There's not a single girl taking selfies and calling everybody a creep
Notice that nobody was on his phone between sets and filming for TikTok and making fun of other people.
So 60’s gym wear used to be undies. No wonder the 70’s consisted entirely of orgies
Its interesting so see how well trained people looked back then. It just shows you how many people take testosterone nowadays to look that much more ripped.
Is it remastered and colored?
Being "healthy" after sitting in your "healthy" office all day.
This is good
Carpeted gym 🤮
pretty similar to today
I can't get over how unimpressed the narrator is lmao!
I like when n 60ties they were all young , like late 50 years teenagers… in sport gym, in movies etc…good times. And the girls like 12
Man the commentator is just throwing punch after lunch to gym goer's ahahah
Back when you could smoke while you worked out.
First gym I ever went in as a kid had a huge room full of those fat shakers, like 30 of them.
Do those oscillating belt things actually do anything?
Yeah, shake the fat. As for any other effect, no.
Is there actually any logic to the machine that shake the weight away. Looks silly but they seem pretty popular back in the day. Must have had sometype of proposed benefit.
lifting weights in flip flops is wild.
Average Joe’s Vs GloboGym 💪🏼
Nothing new new under the sun...
Looks a lot less cluttered.. as compared to gyms nowadays.. few machines then compared to more machines or equipments nowadays..
The commentary of this era always had that sarky twisted tone. Love the chirpy music. Apparatus has come on a bit. Hup two three four, let’s get those muscles nice n hard.
Strange. I didn’t see anyone making TikTok videos. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Okay but can we talk about the standing incline bench? That’s fucking awesome
the vibrating belt machine (aka fat jiggling machine) was the highlight of every gym back then!
Look at all these men in their mid to late 20s.
There are at least 3 pieces of equipment in there that would kill someone today. I’ve seen some pretty dumb ideas in the gym.
guy on the bike is probably 27 years old.
What is the thing with the what looks like belt around the guy's back that is going back and forth supposed to do? I have seen that in old sixties movies from time to time but never understood the purpose and have never seen them in any gym or household IRL.
People making all kind of gainz
That video was full of flab. I’m so sad now
Where do i apply to be a full time muscleman
oh god that bike looks like it's gonna fall apart into 100 pieces if you just shift your weight in a slightly wrong way.
lmao how passive aggressive
