History Buff

Muscle & Fitness Editor-in-Chief Shawn Perine is a very busy man. When he’s not juggling the needs of three top-name fitness magazines (so many meetings), he’s fine-tuning one of the best 48-year-old physiques in the corporate world. That said, sometimes he likes to play with old-timey photos on Photoshop. When word of his off-hour activities got out we had to investigate. What we found was shocking. Appartently, our boss has been cruising through bodybuilding photos and sending them back through time.
