Bodybuilder David Hoffmann stars in the 'body beautiful' image series for web publication The Ones 2 Watch. Hoffman is captured by photographer Michael Bader's lens and outfitted by wardrobe stylist Natalia Witschke.

The muscle man strikes a series of [buff poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodypump-heavy) amidst Xanten Archaeological Park's historical themed setting. Moreover, the body builder shows off his bulging body in fitted undergarments and [athletic-inspired bodysuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) that are reminiscent of [retro era fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles). These fashions include the latest from Versace, Tiger of Sweden and Calvin Klein among others.

The sepia-toned 'body beautiful' image series for The Ones 2 Watch captures modern photographs that have been antiquated to appear aged. Photoshoot star David Hoffman channels a Greek god and even transforms into a historical statue while showing off his toned physique.
