George of the Jungle (1967): Even though steak and eggs don’t really exist in the jungle, GotJ was the early-childhood definition of a steak and eggs build. Obviously, he focused on forearm strength but, as evidenced by his spinach-induced heats, he was a full-body beast as well, meaning he likely supplemented that spinach with a few of Wimpy’s burgers.
