Old school vs current bodybuilders

[Optimus B]

what a difference drugs can make, personally i prefer the look of the old school bodybuilders, ie arnold, sergio, franco

 

[Golfer18--old]

I agree. I like the old school look.

the new age began in 1993 when Yates, already an Olympia champ, packed on 15 pounds in a year with the new standard insulin/gh stack

the Padilla/Priest ratioing is a little off...padilla has about three inches on lee

 

[Golfer18--old]

I will take arnold back over ronnies back any day........

 

[Optimus B]

true enough, but wow that just goes to show that the great physiques really transcend time.

 

[The Shadow]

...well personally, the most perfect physique that ever stepped on stage is frank Zane...Rory Leidlemyer(sp?)is a close second

 

[Optimus B]

if you're like me and you don't know who rory leidlemeyer is, check it out (good call corn, btw):

this has probably already been posted before, but i've always thought that this photo was particularly impressive:

Optimus we have the same taste bro.......those guys are amazing. Fuck that ronnie look.

At what amount of bf % is the guy in this photo?

 

[Optimus B]

Optimus we have the same taste bro.......those guys are amazing. Fuck that ronnie look.

amen to that, those guys just plain looked better (and at the same time, healthier!!).

i've seen ronnie's "unbelievable" training vid and yes it is incredible that he can lift that much weight (form is questionable but that is another story), but the guy looks like he's ready to keel over at any second!

probably 5ish

The sport had the opportunity to head in the right direction after Lee Haney retired by crowning Lee Labrada Mr Olympia, but decided to instead to reward freakiness and massive drug taking by giving it to Dorian.

Lee Labrada wasn't old school, but he better represented that type of physique than any of the modern day bodybuilders.

Now we're left with the bullshit we see today.

probably 5ish

Thanks Corn.
