There's been alot of talk lately about how much better the 90's were for bodybuilding.
The 1996 AC was a stacked show with 4 previous winners of the title going for it again.
I got the DVD off of ebay and it was a good reminder at just how competitive that time
was. I think people forget how great Vince Taylor was at one year shy of 40.
Anyway, I took alot of screenshots from the DVD and thought it could add to the disscusions
of how BB has changed in the last 10 years. About the only thing that could excite me about
bodybuilding right now would be: See Wolf with 15 more pounds and keep the small waistline
or see Victor come in shredded like Coleman in 98.
Enjoy the pics....

Those are fantastic shots! As you said that shows a massive difference between bodybuilding now and ten years ago. Every single one of those pictures is mind blowing (in a good way)! :o Thank you very much

awesome pics, i just started training in 96 and they were the first pics of a pro show that i saw.
bodybuilding has gone backwards-damn shame!!
-
just amazing, what the heck happened to bb'ing
-
Wow! That whole lineup is better than the Olympia lineup.

just amazing, what the heck happened to bb'ing

Actually, they don't test for diuretics anymore.
-
Awesome line up and awesome physiques.
-
Kevin's arms are pure insane!!!

is this a fact? i think the guys back then were training all day long , thats what got me into bodybuilding was hearing how many hours people trained. of course they juiced but alot of bbers are short some may have been natty at this time?
-
And people wonder why everyone is complaining today.
No one looks like they are about to drop their baby.
-
Thanks. The entire top six looked better than this years Mr. Olympia.

the one's who claim bb in the 90's was and forever will be the sports epitome, take a quick jaunt over to ironage.com
20 years from now, you'll be the same bunch of old farts prattling on about the past and banning Alexxx from posting on your forum

After Jay complained that he was dq'd in the Mr. O in 01 for diuretics and was going to sue, that's when they stopped testing I believe. I'm 99.9% sure. They still look like crap because the slin.
-
EXCELLENT thread bro. Sounds like you know your stuff, too. :)
-
They all look 10x better than what was onstage this year with the exception of Wolf who would have fit in well with that lineup.
-
I think it's awesome that Vince is still kicking around and seemingly healthy after years of juice. I hope some of the older guys live a long life as it would show that moderate juice use is not detrimental.
I like when pros make up stuff when they say they only use 100mg a week or whatever. ;D Stuff that makes absolutely no scientific sense at all.

GH15 Took 7th that year!
-
holy shit @ paul dillet!!! :o :o :o
flex arms too.
-
gh15,
please explain why the top 6 of the 1996 AC looked like the bodybuilding ideal and the guys of today look like smashed asshole in comparison???

why is that bbers from the 90's look better then bbers now? And are the same size too? the IFBB has to make some serious changes, no one in those shots has a GH gut

Flex has a bodytype like Melvin Anthony. He's sharper though of course.

Anthony has good shoulders and back though, I say Flex has him on legs Arms maybe and conditioning.

Melvin had a freakier taper than Flex, because Melvin is 5'8. FLex had better arms, although Melvin has a double biceps peak on one arm. Flex has better conditioning and Chest, although they both are weak in that area and had the same problem areas-glutes and hams,
-
Awesome line up.
Too bad most of today's pros look like bloated pigs in comparison.
-
Pics are good but is anyone going to post a vid of Dillet freezing up at one of the Arnold's?
-
thos were the best bodybuilding years no doubt about it
guys like palumbo, kovacs were a joke in the 90's
now we have clown all over and very few real bodybuilders
-
Holy destruction of Ken wheeler aka photog ... :o :o :o

Actually Kev was closer to the cmaera. It could have gone either way, and Flex was pissed as hell. Flex wasn't as good as he was before in 1993 0r 1995. But Flex was fuller, I think this was when GH was starting to be used heavily....

those where the good ole days, man. A lot of Respect goes out to Vince" the terminator" Taylor who's still kicking it on stage with the youngters. I admire you a lot Vince. oh, Vince and Levrone still combine for the most Wins in IFBB history

WOW!!! Bodybuilding has gone backwards since then. Half those guys would have walked the Mr 'O this Year!!
Likewise, respect to Vince - He's determined to come back better than ever in 2008 if he can shake his back injury that hampered his 2007 Olympia.
-
One word to describe those Pics ... AMAZING ! I wish that's what Bodybuilders looked like nowadays ... I really do.
-
Great pics. Thanks. They all look insane.
-
Good post bro!!! It's a shame to see how far the sport has fallen.....
-
Excellent post! Awesome pics......think judges have it difficult these days? MAKES YOU THINK AGAIN! :o
