Vintage Muscle

Born on the Jersey Shore. Built for the Hardcore.

Vintage Muscle was forged in the shadow of the Shore’s legendary iron gyms—where chalk, sweat, and attitude ruled the room. Our roots are in the golden era of lifting: the 80s and 90s, when bodybuilders didn’t just train—they lived it. We built this brand to bring that raw energy back. No fluff. No trends. Just the real deal.

The Vision Behind the Muscle:

Dave Mihalovic — A former bodybuilder and lifelong student of old-school gym culture, Dave founded Vintage Muscle to bring the golden era back to life. Raised on Rocky montages, Arnold posters, and East Coast grit, he saw that modern gym wear had lost its soul. Vintage Muscle became his answer—gear that’s durable, iconic, and built for those who train like they mean it.

Respect the Past. Fuel the Future.

Driven by a deep respect for the roots of bodybuilding, Vintage Muscle was built to bring back the attitude, grit, and pride of the golden era. We believe today’s gym wear has lost its edge—mass produced, watered down, and disconnected from the lifestyle. Our gear is the opposite: limited, intentional, and made for those who train with purpose and live with conviction.
