This photo taken on August 11, 2025 shows roof tile factory workers smear each other's bodies with oil before taking part in a traditional bodybuilding competition at a roof tile factory in Jatiwangi, West Java. This is a bodybuilding battle of a different kind – one where competitors are roof tile factory workers who pump clay instead of iron to bring attention to their dwindling trade. In Java's Jatiwangi city, an Indonesian hub for clay roof tile production nearly 200 kilometres from capital Jakarta, dozens of men have been lathering on oil to pose for crowds since 2015 to show they are not going anywhere.
