It's amazing some of the amateurs that never got a pro card. I wonder what they think of pro cards today.

Every other contestant gets a card these days and couldn`t hold a candle compared to the guys from the 80`s and 90`s ! :(

Back then it was about health as well. Bodybuilding was on ESPN, had its own clothing style, good supplements, juice was either from US, Europe, or Mexico and it wasn’t as widespread.
