That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 18, 2021

Ingmar had some big brass… (literally)!

The back room at the gay bar.

Hugo, we know that those are just Mylar balloons on there.

I don’t know what sort of skin condition those guys have, but I hope it’s not contagious

Geeze, I hope they wipe down the equipment after.

A group of dumbbells.

“You have a nice pair of balls there Chad.

Er, forget I just said that. That’s not what I meant."

There wasn’t an ounce of lard/ on the lads in the old Prison yard/ though there weren’t any girls/ all those jerks, squats and curls/ kept all of the fellows “rock hard “..

Thor later grew his hair long, switched to a hammer, and donned an outfit with a cape because the Super Heroes Union had a bylaw that forbid performing heroic acts in the buff.

Perfect example of why coaches should always pay for express shipping for their teams’ unitards…

Watch the weights, he aims for toes.

at the gym chad got really pumped…

The other two guys look really cold.

Now if I can twirl this baton, I get to lead the band. Right?

To me, it looks like nude yoga… with a little extra stretching device!

Just one look and they all knew he was over compensating

“Ok, he got it up, now how long can he keep it up?”

That backward bend is gonna wreck his back!

The boys from the countryside/ are known for their parts far and wide/ They’ll show you, forthwith/ that it isn’t a myth../ They really have nothing to hide.

Björn and Benny picking up ideas on how to pose with their guitars.

Seems to be the wrong artist, though: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jansson,Eugène_Fredrik_(1862-1915)Lifting_Weights_with_One_Arm,2-1914-.jpg

They were tired of spotting, but Chad was not very good at taking turns.

Chad, put that down!

Seems Melcher got this one wrong. The artist is Fredrick Jansson. Leander Engstrom is a cubist

Nothin’ could be finer than to see pretend verginers in the mor-or-orning!

In honor of awkward moments day

The judges at the “ONE ARMED STRONG MAN COMPETITION” insisted on outfits that would reveal the existence of an illegal second arm.

(And the judges also donned the outfits for reasons known only to Pro Baseball Coaches. I mean, seriously, are those old geezer coaches really ready to go into the game if necessary? Wear regular clothes! You’re not fooling anyone. Most of you never even played at a pro level! Stupid baseball…)

They boys are just getting warmed up for their naked twister competition

Getting down to the nitty gritty of One Arm Press Strip Poker.

Lance proves once again why he’s the champion of the one-hand curl and jerk!

Please, ladies in the balcony you must stop yelling get it up!

all have info, or links that point to more info, about the actual artist (again, askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2665 (March 17, 2021) blog entry (may now include the correct artist), accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

It’s probably wise to concede/ that the Swedes are a muscular breed/ who let nothing impede/ the Swedish stampede/ and their national need to be freed..

Nuthin could be sweeter than a swinging Swedish pe..r in the mor-or-or nin..

The lady in the balcony called out; “Hey, the pole vault’s over here”. (with thanks to The Return of the Secaucus Seven)

They need to pencil in an appointment for that skin discoloration.

Everyone thought Lars’ advertisement for the giant double-ended Tootsie Pop was a little too much.

the barbell was un-necessary the two were going to look anyway, can’t wait for shower time.

Painting “The Javelin throw”; attempt #4 …

Before the Shake Weight dumbbell was invented …

“Hey, bud… That’s not what I meant when I said, ‘Please lift my balls.’”

Oh I know exactly where I’d look. :J
