How was precontest prepping different in the good ol' days?

Obviously, the drug use is different. I'm talking about the dieting practices of the older greats like Arnold, Zane, Columbu, Mentzer, etc. Did they generally practice the basics used today, like cardio in the morning, carb-depleting, etc...... Whether they did or didn't, their conditiong was still great.

Someone told me that some of the older guys barely did any cardio to trim the fat. Just high-volume, fast-paced weight-lifting.

Anyone know?

Great question. I've been wondering about this. I don't think cardio was emphasised to a great extent...if at all.

I always wander this myself. I have read numerous things about Mentzer and Arnold. I have the Arnold book, but in the book he seems to just be blabbing. I don't know if I truly believe he used all those methods that he preaches in the book.
