Title: your favorite era?
Post by: Jr. Yates on January 20, 2007, 10:22:35 AM: Whats your guys favorite Bodybuilding Era? The beginning with Steeve Reeves, 70s with Arnold, 80s with Mentzer/Barbian Bros ,the 90s with Everyone. or today. Mine is definatly the 90s. All the old mags from the 90s are awesome.

I was thinking yesterday, the only guys that are still around from the 90s are Lee and Ronnie. Kevin,Shawn, Nasser,Dorian, etc. they are all no longer competing.

well i wouldn't say wrong, but guys started pushing the envelope which goes for everything. A backflip on a motorbike used to be a big deal, now nobody gives a shit unless you go for a double with a variation.

But the physiques of the early 90s are what made me want to train. Eddie Robinson, Lee, Ray.

Yeah like Dorian had one? ::) Mr. one arm.
I'm going with the mid 90s up until 99. After that it went south.

Post by: TheAnimal on January 21, 2007, 03:11:53 AM: I'm going to have to say Dorian's era, he shocked us all and brought an undeniably complete physique.
Title: Re: your favorite era?
Post by: GoneAway on January 21, 2007, 08:13:38 AM: Hard to say...

Every era had their share of fantastic physiques. I'll go with the 90's, since the guts were not as rampant as today, and the physiques were some of the best ever. Would of been cool to see Nasser pose live.

Title: Re: your favorite era?
Post by: Voice of Doom on January 21, 2007, 08:18:52 AM: 70's...I dont care for the super ripped paper thin skin with veins bulging look. I think the guys from the 60's and 70's got shredded but it wasn't anatomy thin. They looked healthier to me...and BBing to me is about health.
