Title: The 90s - bodybuilding's best decade!
Post by: Relentless on May 17, 2009, 08:37:56 PM: How about a tribute to some of the guys who made bodybuilding fun to follow? I'm on the verge of losing my interest with today's scene.

Post by: Royal Lion on May 17, 2009, 09:08:03 PM: Sadly this thread hits the nail on the head. The 90s was far and away the most progressive decade for bodybuilding. Dorian & Ronnie both took bodybuilding to new heights. Kevin, Cormier, Ray, Flex, Nasser & Co. would all dominate today's pro shows.

Post by: Swedish Viking on May 18, 2009, 02:39:52 AM: I have no interest in today's scene, but to be honest, I thought the guys looked too freaky in the 90s as well-although, now when I look at them, I think they look great.

Something happened with drugs in the late 90s, early 2000s where we started seeing the waist problem.

Post by: Royalty on May 18, 2009, 12:40:42 PM: Mike Quinn once said that he felt that the 80's was the golden era of bodybuilding. Thats when Haney, Ray, Strydom, Christian, Labrada, Quinn, Buchanan, Gaspari, ect... hit the scene.

I think there was clearly more drug usage with each proceeding decade.

Post by: shootfighter1 on May 18, 2009, 12:53:02 PM: I think the 80s were the glory days of BBing as well. The best physiques were probably in the early-mid 90s though.
