An all-time favorite: Rusty Joiner

He's an actor, he's an athlete, he's a fitness icon, and he's quite possibly one of the most recognizable faces in the world of physique modeling...

...or should I say one of the most recognizable models, period.

The man himself needs no introduction... he's easily of my long-time favorites (as I'm sure many others share that same sentiment). There can only be but one Rusty Joiner...

Transitioning from a former gymnast into the fitness modeling world has translated into quite a lucrative career for rusty. Since the late 90s the guy has modeled, and modeled, and modeled some more. From Abercrombie, and Fitch to Men's Fitness, to Levis, to Structure Magazine, the guy has done it all. His resume pretty much extends around the block.

Not surprising really for someone who can manage to age and still look this good. These shots directly above were taken by Lewis Payton for DNA magazine back in 2005. Would you believe it if I told you Rusty was 36 back when he posed for those photos ?

If there was ever such a thing as a fine wine of modeling, Rusty surely fits the bill ...
