  AMG
Physique Pictorial was the magazine of Athletic Model Guild (AMG), the groundbreaking studio of homo-erotic photography founded by Bob Mizer (1922-1992) in Los Angeles in 1945.
The initial goal of AMG was to act as a catalyst, between aspiring actors and models seeking work in the Hollywood show business.
At that moment, when the moral climate was governed by leagues of decency and the like, the Athletic Model Guild was wrongly suspected of being a network of call-boys, or something of the kind.

The Athletic Model Guild suddenly seemed the last bastion of homoeroticism in some dystopian novel in which the gay-bashers won the elections and outlawed the male nude.
The secret to the success of Bob Mizer's AMG stills and studio-made films is that he tapped into the homoeroticism of growing up male--gay or straight, not just the skin and bones of it.
The Athletic Model Guild was, of course, not open to the public, but a few of us--prospective buyers of its wares--were able to visit by appointment and peripherally take in the sights familiar from the studio’s heyday.

Mizer founded AMG (Athletic Model Guild), the first male model photography studio in the United States, in Los Angeles in 1945.

 Don Whitman's Western Photography Guild
Don was inspired by a physique model that he met during the war, that there might be a future in the physique photography business.
This along with a careful selection of models and the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado as a backdrop, allowed Whitman to compete with more well established studios such as Lon Hanagan of New York, and Bob Mizer's Athletic Model Guild in California.
Don was well liked by most of the models he worked with, and many of them remained lasting friends for the rest of his life.

 Bob Mizer
With a seamless blending of fiction and documentary, he tells the story of Bob Mizer, the pioneering founder of the Athletic Model Guild (AMG), a company which produced still photographs (for muscle mags like “Adonis” and “Tomorrow’s Man”) and short films, all of which extolled the beauty and chiseled physiques of men.
Chaste by today’s standards, AMG's photos and films were homoerotic images of “the boy next door” filmed against the now campy backdrop of Roman gladiators, prisoners, bikers and bodybuilders.

 Athletic Model Guild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Athletic Model Guild was an organization founded by gay pioneer Bob Mizer in 1944.
After long legal battles, AMG eventually did away with clothing altogether, though by this time the newly-found freedom meant AMG suddenly had a lot of competition, some of it aimed at the quick and dirty buck, rather than the old days of more innocent, and possibly informative, fun.
AMG argued it was the business of the models, not theirs, to police themselves.

 Athletic Model Guild St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
Bob Mizer (1922-1992) was the driving force behind the Athletic Model Guild (AMG), a photography studio founded in Los Angeles in 1944, and the magazine Physique Pictorial, which published AMG pictures.
AMG produced images of nearly nude muscular men; their publication in Physique Pictorial was ostensibly for artists and "physical culture enthusiasts," but attained currency primarily with gay men.
Before the birth of gay rights, Physique Pictorial and the AMG enabled the dissemination of homoerotic images; the magazine also contained idealized, sexualized drawings of macho men by such artists as George Quaintance, Spartacus, and Tom of Finland.

Here's where Corbett’s career gets j-u-i-c-y: Collectors of ancient “physical culture magazines” have noted that he was using the name Glenn Robinson to work for a while in the mid-1950s as a physique model for Bob Mizer's legendary Athletic Model Guild based in Los Angeles.
AMG's Physique Pictorial displays shots of Corbett posing and smiling rather confidently in various attire—sailor suits, a Native American getup, to a pair rather skimpy bikini briefs which left little to viewer’s imagination.

 Movie Info for Beefcake on MSN Movies
Photographer and filmmaker Bob Mizer (Daniel MacIvor) founded the Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, in Los Angeles in 1945, hoping to turn his fascination with the male physique into a successful business that used nude and semi-nude photographs to sell the services of models to painters and the like.
His models, contemporaries, and associates included bodybuilding proponent Jack LaLane and future Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro, who are among the many men interviewed by filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald.
The film's narrative arc, however, focuses on the fictionalized character of novice model Neil E. O'Hara (Joshua Peace), who serves as a stand-in for the audience as he acclimates himself to Mizer's campy, flesh-filled compound and witnesses the photographer's betrayal by another model, Red (Jack Griffin Mazeika).

 'Beefcake:' Tan and Pumped Up, Living Campily Ever After
Some of his models lived with him and his mother, who assisted her son and who designed the young men's "posing pouches." To avoid prosecution for obscenity, Mizer promoted his models as clean-cut embodiments of good health and physical fitness.
We also meet several of Mizer's real-life former physique models who are now in their 50s and 60s, as well as the fitness guru Jack LaLanne.
The movie's biggest problem is that MacIvor's portrayal of Mizer as a repressed, photography-obsessed milquetoast who displays no apparent sexual interest in his models doesn't square with scenes late in the movie that recreate Mizer's actual trial for operating a prostitution ring using those models.

 Tom of Flinland's Influence on Fashion
Tom was influenced by fashion design all the way back to his postwar studies at the Art Academy in Helsinki, gradually evolving his instinct for making the clothes fit the man.
Through the mass distribution of Tom’s imagery throughout Europe and North America during the sixties and seventies, tens of thousands of young gay males modeled their development, both physically and emotionally, on the hypermasculine imagery of Tom’s men.
This led the male migration into the gyms, building muscles and definition, and donning clothes that would exaggerate their natural gifts and their new muscles.
