You're going to get me in trouble because I was already getting warned for my Roelly love.  LOL!  If I get caught watching videos of him, then I'll really be on time out.

People complained about the lack of star power but I see it beginning to shift to Ramy, Bonac, Rhoden, and maybe Cedric McMillan who is hilarious.  I really will be curious to see how Big Ramy does next season.  In my very limited opinion, I actually think he has what it takes to take down Phil.

Rhoden is so overrated, boring physique, no detail, what's the hype behind him, I don't get it?

Aside from Dexter all look like shit. A prime Cormier would have won all these contests with ease including the O. Rhoden wouldn't have done shit in the late 90's and early 2000's

Too much damn insulin in this "sport"

Yes. Dexter's contemporaries from the 90's all have all retired and dramatically lowered their doses.

Dex is probably taking more drugs now in comparison to 1999 (he is bigger now).... and the 2015 field is so talentless, that at 46, Dexter is so good that he winning the spring shows & the fall shows. And Dexter barely missed winning the Olympia.

I remember he said he loves the bb lifestyle and likes just to be there on the same stage among the top bbs of the world. He got good proposal from some nutritional company and it made return possible. Something like that. Seems legit to me. I think that being one of the biggest guys he's doing well at expos.

Maybe it's really the drugs. In the 90s there was still human grade Trenbolone widely availiable ("Parabolan") and other stuff. Maybe the stuff today is indeed worse in quality, while this brand new peptide crap etc can all be flushed in the toilet anyways.

What about Dexter? What's his secret?

He has managed to not tear anything severely and doesn't seem to have compressed any nerves for one thing. A lot of this atrophy and deterioration is due to small and large tears. Then there is the site injecting which damages muscles over time. Dexter does have heavily site injected calves though and they don't always look good.

Dexter has no secret, does what all the rest do.

It's just a numbers game. The talent pool has dried up. When I was younger, there were a lot of guys in the gym who wanted to compete and go pro and everyone trained hard because well we had no iPhones, texts, pics, selfies or other distractions. Now no one trains hard, no one competes and no one dreams of going pro. They just dream of having 100k followers on IG.

I've told you guys right from the get go. Insulin combined with everything else will shut you down. Since insulin came into play it's been all downhill. These guys are sacrificing health for longevity. Dexter seems to be the only one that has this down to a science.

Can you clarify?

He's like a combo of Shawn Ray, Vince Taylor and Kevin Levrone when it comes to his mentality and longevity.

They've got a ton of guys wanting to do MPD at one of the gyms I go to.  EVERYONE is competing and doing a show and it's somewhat amusing. For one thing we've got all these guys with chicken legs who do endless amount of plyometrics and 100 sets of Hammer Chest Machines 

I've connected with some on social media because we've gotten to talking in the gym and On their IG it's all about #operationprocard and #grinding #preplife. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.  They all believe they are the next big thing and brag about being brand ambassadors.  Same with the Bikini girls. Some have taken first place and I am SHOCKED because I think my legs could be  bigger than some of them.   ??? ??? ???

There is no money in professional Bodybuilding but a lot of these guys are getting more business savvy and creating the supplement lines and the training programs.  You would be surprised what someone who takes selfies all day can make selling meal plans and workouts to their followers so the smart ones are leveraging it into income.

Is this person on the left with the six inch thumb a guy or a girl?  Very pretty features.

Hard to tell ...it looks like he could be a metrosexual, a female bodybuilder off season, a gay Boyfriend of a pro bodybuilder ...or simply a schmoe.

Not sure, but "sacrificing health for longevity" suggests they're being MORE reckless dopewise and living LONGER to boot, no? Didn't seem to make sense.

Maybe Coach meant, they are 'sacrificing their health, to stay in the game (longevity), over any chance of long term health / fitness'...

True. That's what I meant by not wanting to do bodybuilding. Physique means less drugs, more chicks, less chance of injury and more time to play on FB and IG.

Fixed

These guys care more about their plucked eyebrows or matching outfits than chicks. They do all this to attract and get more guys attention

Jesus what is happening to pro bodybuilding?  :-[

The same thing that started happening after the mid nineties. A sad state of affairs.
