Bobdybuilders of the 70's and Chest

[BigBadBootyDaddy29]

It was all an illusion, today's pros look more blocky and bloated. While looking more massive overall, it diminishes bodyparts "popping out" when your entire form from head to toe looks blown up out of proportion, rather than just your showpeice muscles being developed.

i have noticed that too for a long time. well one reason i'm sure is their steroids they all mad juiced and didn't get disqualified. and it seems to me they pushed themselves past the limit. (more than now adays)

They did have a better work ethic on average, but I hope you weren't serious about the mad juicing and being disqualified. i am not flaming you, but the guys from the 70's would blush over what goes on today in terms of drug use, drug use in the 70's enhanced physiques, drug use nowadays has ruined physiques.

I think Ronnie Coleman's chest is about the same size as Arnold's, but Ronnie's shoulders and arms are much larger. Plus his gut diminishes the chest too.

nah - arnie's are slightly biugger in the chest and arms, and he looks better too

although he needs bigger hammies

Ronnie looks just like some bloated peice of meat. Arnie looks like sculpture

Someone needs to photoshop Arnold to see what he'd look like today.

I would rather have Arnie's physique.

well no they did juice but nothin like today compared to the 500-600mg and shit we do now they did really small doses but i know they did them. Plus you have to remember back in that day nothing like that was really taken seriously about drugs it was the 60s/70 bro. they did definately juice i know arnold did and i'm pretty sure lou did now before that i don't know but most of them did the americans anyways. Weider provided them with all that shit.

Yes...BB`s of the 70`s were big BUT...they retained and had an athletic look to their physiques. Their physiques were big yet realistically so with a classic athletic appeal.

Today`s BB`s are just big. HUGE. REAL HUGE.
However.....There is nothing "athletic" looking about todays BB`s.
Huge freaky size, yes. Athletic and graceful lines, NO.

That's an interesting pic -- arnie and ronnie. The smaller waist of arnold is the most obvious difference. The legs, chest, back and arms are all fairly similarly sized. Ronnie's legs are much bigger, but arnold's legs are well-chiseled. Ronnie is big everywhere, especially more in the legs and middle, whereas arnold is deliberately chiseling a v-shape, as someone else said. . . Nice photo and visual comparison. Thx
