Post by: Archer77 on September 30, 2014, 06:21:05 AM: I'm a huge Haney fan...no homo. I thought Yates had an impressive Olympia worthy physique early on. The late Yates years and the Coleman era were the beginning of the end.

Yeah that's true. On recollection I think I did like his first few years.

Post by: Royalty on September 30, 2014, 06:58:58 AM: I think that guys tend to train & diet harder when they are amateurs. Then they turn pro and get lazy. Any improvements thereafter are simply a result of using/abusing greater amounts of drugs.

I think that during Haney's era, guys would have a natural foundation before they started taking steroids. These days, guys go straight to the drugs (and become douche bags overnight).

You had striated glutes tho. That takes dedication.

If that's the criteria I never took bodybuilding seriously.

It takes serious commitment to develop striated glutes for the sole purpose of showing them off to an audience of cheering men. ;D

I use the term loosely. A better term would be "competition."
