Old Muscles vs New

[Nelson Montana]

Well, just some perspective using pics from one of the "good guys" in the sport -- Dave Draper. Look at the waist to arm ratio.

A tiny pic but still impressive.

Compare that to Jay, who looks awesome, but...come on.

Dave admits he never had the greatest thighs, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Here's Dave in his 50's.

Dave endorsed my book. Jay did not. I'll take it.

AWESOME, simply awesome.

Being in my upper 40's I can really appreciate the "Old Muscles vs. New". Certainly I can also appreciate the almost insane dedication it must take to be Cutler or any of todays freakishly large bodybuilders, but it does not look as individual and natural like a human body should. The new muscles are massive and very powerful, but the 'classy' V-man look just ain't there. I remember as a kid wanting to be (imagination only then) as massive as the "new muscle" guys are, but now I really think the classy lines of "old muscles" just look better. Times have really changed...

I couldn't agree with you more Nelson. Symmetry has long since taken a back seat to size in BB. I'll take a tiny waist and broad back and shoulders any day of the week. I hope Dennis Wolf keeps the tiny waist look. He looks awesome. I like the way Dexter looks too but he looks like a retard with that synthol.

I always say the same. The goal back then was perfection. The goal today is deformation.

Very true.

It is the judges. Those fuckers reward that crap. The fans certainly don't want bloated stomachs and no v-taper.

 

[holy ghost]

fuck yea he looks 10x better than 90% of the pros

I hate that bloated ass look that Jays ass has

Actually, I think Dave was a winnee guy -- just winnee, no test, no dball.

I agree there is definitely a change but at the same time today's body has be evolving from the 60's and 70's as well not just in the bodybuilding forum.
Check out the body shapes male and female back then to today. Mens hips have started to widen womens have done the opposite, I feel much of it is just the body's are evolving to lifestyle changes.
If you are in your late forty's or 50's just think of the style of cloth''s back then how it fit very different from today's clothing, not just the stupid looking cloths but everyday jeans and dress pants. There is a very definite change in the fit.
