Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Golden Era" Language: Consistently use terms like "Golden Era," "Old School," "Vintage," "Legends," "80s," "Nostalgia," "Authentic," "Iron," and "Strength." This reinforces the brand's core theme.
• •Speak Directly to the Enthusiast: Address the copy to those who understand and appreciate the history and aesthetics of 80s bodybuilding. Create a sense of an exclusive community. Use phrases like "For enthusiasts who refuse the banal."
• •Focus on Authenticity and Heritage: Highlight that the designs are inspired by and pay tribute to a specific, revered period in bodybuilding. Emphasize the "why" behind the brand – a tribute and a revival.
• •Use a Confident and Passionate Voice: The tone should reflect the dedication and intensity associated with bodybuilding. Avoid weak or overly modern, generic fitness language. Convey a genuine love for the retro style.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Cohesion: Ensure that the copywriting on the website, social media, and any advertisements aligns with the visual elements (e.g., retro fonts, imagery of 80s bodybuilding). Consistency across all platforms is key to building a strong brand identity.
