Spooky

I dreamt last night I was competing in a show because Gary had been disqualified for being Canadian and freed up a place

Gary was a great bodybuilder before the drugs went over to the insane quantity. He looked good even after he retired from competing. Few can say that today unless they still have syringes in their house taking lower doses.

Kemper had it all.  Good looks and a fantastic, very aesthetic physique.  The last few decades have made bodybuilding into a Schmoedown.  FTN.

Andrew Jacked and Krizo might not be in the top 3 at the Olympia...   but at least they have somewhat of a “throwback” look

I'd rather be built like any of these guys than 99% of the pros competing today.

Today and for more than a couple of decades now, bodybuilding is nothing but survival of the stoopidest when it comes to taking all those drugs.  They all have huge guts with gigantic separated abdominals, massive delts and smallish pecs.  Fat asses with overbuilt legs including grotesquely large hamstrings.

WTF?  Indeed.  What The Fuque?  Drugs work and they work really well.  Just look at any so-called woman bodybuilder and tell me that drugs don't work and genetics are key.

Perfect description of modern day bodybuilders.

So true. How do these monsters look when they stop using? I will answer. They look like absolute crap. The ones that look decent are hiding a secret. They are still using the syringe with lower doses. Hormone replacement my ass. Heard a guy saying he injects just enough to keep himself in the 900 range. When he was 18 he never had a 900 number. At least he is using "conservatively" regarding hormone replacement. Most bodybuilders are using a boat load of test telling the clueless they are are on hormone replacement.  This whole "sport" is a crock of BS.  I am in awe of what hard work and drugs can accomplish but I never forget for a second that without the drug assist most would look very ordinary with out them.
