Why's the greaser in the first pic yielding a dildo? He's got his sinister sights on the poor black dude with the mic... don't turn around, brotha!!
In all seriousness though, these pics are heart breaking. They look absolutely fabulous. Bodybuilders nowadays look atrocious. Many of them look great a few weeks out of a comp but they diet down too gangly and sunken. And they're too blocky with bloated, pregnant alien bellies.

these are real bodybuilders.

What a fucking shame...its guys like the ones above that inspired the current generation of guys to hit the gym and bodybuild. What kid growing up these day is going to look at the "new standard" of zombie-looking pregnant dudes wearing thongs and with gyno and be like "wow, I want to get oiled up in a thong and fuck myself up with GH and insulin to pose for A POSSIBILITY of winning $5K". Gay-themed "posing routines" like Kai's or Kamali's (well at least the Atlantic video guy was gay) certainly don't help things, and any bodybuilder with a classic look (waist less than 40 inches, no synthol) is deemed as way too small. Sorry for the meltdown, but seeing these pics pisses me off and reminds me of what got me into bodybuilding when I was a kid. I know if I were a kid today I'd say fuck hitting the weights and I'd probably be swimming my ass off to be like Mike Phelps.

Exactly. Who wants a physique that is 100% dependant on drugs? I know the guys in the pics I posted are obviously not natural, but you don't need to take out a second mortgage on your house to pay for your cycle.

what the fuck is that shit? Where's the turtle shell stomach? Clearly they weren't "hardcore" enough.

You missed his point. It's not that the old physiques used fewer drugs, it's that they looked better. Sure we all want to have huge arms and pecs but if you had to have a pregnant stomach to get that, would you? There are very few physiques in the IFBB today to aspire to.

TOM T had great build awesome poser,good shape ,competed till 91/92 ,didn't feel size game was his fortay.was in musclemag few yrs ago about 20 lbs lighter still had good build,good spokesman for bbing,musclesport usa was good show he mc'd with steve stone.

I should've put "And" after "Exactly."... I was making another point. None of the pro's today would be close to their physiques with the mass amount of drugs they take... the 70's and 80's weren't as bad in alot of cases.

that's not Jay cutler. that's Mel Gibson

Relevent but slightly off-topic, what are the odds that we will ever refer to today's bodybuilders as the Golden Era the way we do these guys?
-
Padilla back in the day:
-
that pic of Danny is not the best for this thread. it's probably from the early 90s, when all the pros were already using GH and starting to use insulin. here is one from much earlier in his career
-

That's not back in the day. That's 1990 when he competed in the NOC against Dorian.

Now who's more impressive? Padilla in that gym pic or Jay Cutler in his gym pic (the 2 weeks out one)? Padilla DESTROYS the current Mr. O.

yep those days are GONE

yep those days are GONE
but you can relive them: yes to dianabol, no to gh and insulin.

Well these guys were amazing but they weren't even close to natural. Lots of test, deca, dbol etc. It's the GH, Slin, wanting to be 300lbs ripped that gives the pros nowadays their look. Don't think for a second the guys in Arnold's era and up were just taking a few dbol here and there. They weren't all drugs, but they wouldn't look anything like they did without the drugs.
-

Bob paris looked like a Modern day steve reeves, outstanding balance, lines, etc..Certently looked like the start of a New era when Bob hit the ranks in the early 1980s...guess he didn,t hit his full potential or it may have been Bob who dominated the 80s and not big LEE.

Who implicated that any of them were near natural? They were pioneering the steroid and hormone era. They just didn't use a ridiculous amount of GH or insulin, nor did they get so far out of shape that they became pregnant with alien children.

today's bloated stomachs are directly due to GH and Insulin, which causes an increase in visceral fat, the fat between the organs in the abdomen

Would have loved to have seen Leidelmeyer compete as a pro, but after his loss in the Nationals, he just disappeared. Classic physique.

The under 202 class will see this standard relived. Guys like Jaroslav, Flex Lewis, Steve Namat, Dave Henry, along with bigger guys like Dexter Jackson, Dennis Wolf, Craig Richardson, Melvin Anthony, and others. The old-style packages are still there, just not as remarkable or seen as often as they were back then.
-
There's a few guys like that still around, you just don't see them because they're not placed. Look at Rusty Jeffers for one.

.. Steve Namat, ... The old-style packages are still there, just not as remarkable or seen as often as they were back then.
Steve Namat 2002 had a classic physique. Now not so much.

Hard to improve upon that, but just from that pic, his delts need more thickness and his chest isn't the best. This is going to sound weird, and I don't want it to, but Bob had kind of female bodybuilding proportions in a way, legs, thighs especially overshadowing the upper body ... (NOT a slam, just my impression).
-
WOW!! :o

His win over Rory at the nats was bullshit. Bob even admitted to Rory that it was a paid victory. Bob was a flamer and liked it up the ass... nuff said.

Rory was a god. Well shaped, thick and strong as hell. Just had trouble hitting his peak onstage, its not as easy as some think, especially for bigger guys..

Yeah he was awesome. He admits there was better conditioned guys, but he said that he always had a better overall look. The first year of the nationals the big fight was supposed to be Rory and Lee Haney. Rory's wife was giving birth so he decided to go home and Manion screwed him over for it. Apparently Rory got angry letter from the higher-ups in the NPC... Manion's a piece of shit.

Mr. Levrone had the best combo of everything, dorian was bigger and a little harder and the judging favors that over everything else
no bodybuilder had a better combo of mass, shape, conditioning, and aesthetics than Kevin Levrone butyouonly need size and conditioning to be mr. o ::)

No he didn't NOT according to the judges , you love the criteria when it falls in Keivn's favor and its nonsense when it doesn't that makes you a hypocrite because according to the judges Dorian satisfied that criteria better than everyone , Levrone included .

I'm shocked Paris never won a pro show he could have but it wasn't in the cards . and I defend Yates' from the rampant ignorance on these boards and the way contests are judged , they said back when Haney was dominating that Paris' type physique should win the same way you claim Levrone's should . however he's lacking in certain departments of the criteria hence why Paris never beat Haney thats they way it goes , thats professional bodybuilding .

that's fucking bullshit
Kevin Levrone should have beat dorian AND ronnie multiple times
and he did, just not for the "politicians" of bodybuilding
which is a fucking shame

Well, I tell you again...that picture is from 2003 (just a few days after my 20th birthday). I was 170 lbs back then.
This year in Tampa I was 24 years old and my contest weight was 198 lbs.
By the way I'm 5'7".
