That looks like Bob Kiser on the right and I think I've posted photos of his shower mate. I'm drawing a blank, though.
That's Ron Collette.
A collection of classic male physique photos from the 20th century with an emphasis on the thousands of men who posed for Athletic Model Guild (AMG).

That's Ron Collette.
Ron Collette and Joe Napoli on the mats at AMG. I always thought this was from a movie, but I can't find any reference to it. The photos make it look like it was an intense session. Nothing harmful, just very physical.
Normally Joe's butt would capture my full attention. If I ever do see the film, I must give some attention to Ron's cheeks. Yeah, it's a job, but someone's gotta do it.
I've posted many photos of Ron Collette (left) and Joe Napoli in the AMG shower, but this one is new to my collection.
Finishing up my series on the Collette brothers we have two photos of Ron Collette with John Manning and Rick Cule in their three way wrestling match that was fun to watch. It looks like Ron is copping a feel in the second photo.
The other two photos have Ron wrestling and then showering with Joe Napoli. Here it looks like Ron is getting a good whiff of Joe's crotch. Suddenly I'm jealous.
Personally, I don't think Ron looks anything like his brothers. While Jim and Rick were both approximately 5ft 7in tall, Rick appears to be at least 6ft tall. We know Mr. Manning was 5ft 10in tall and, in the "cop a feel" photo, Rick's got a few inches on him. Ummm...you know what I mean.
John Manning, Ron Collette and Rick Cule in their street clothes before filming Wrestling Buddies for AMG.
John looks like the Phys Ed teacher at the local high school. Ron owns a bowling alley in Duluth. And Rick looks like he parks cars at the country club.
Ron Collette and Joe Napoli in a set of photos by AMG that appear to be from a wrestling match that was put on film. But I don't have any record of these two guys doing any film together.
While reviewing these photos I was impressed with the "action shots" that were captured. Because of this, I think the models were most likely posed to capture them "in action". And, frankly, they're damn good.

Ron Collette (left) and Joe Napoli (Or Napolie, if you prefer) at AMG in the mid 1960s. I don't think this was from a movie.
Joe stayed at AMG long enough to do work without the pouch. More to come.
