Yesterday vs today, contest prep!

[IronKop77]

Does anyone know when this change took place? It interests me on how differently BB's prepare now compared to back in Arnies day. Was arnold an exception weighing like 240 offseason and 260 contest, or was that the norm or do i have my facts fu(* up. Today they cut weight then it seems like they gained.

Arnold's weight

Arnold was around 240lbs in the offseason and around 220lbs when he competed. I saw some off season pics of those guys and they were definitely not as cut as they were in the olympia. Though none of them blew up during their bulking phases like the guys today, they definitely put some fat on in the off season.
