I refuse to succumb to the madness of todays bodybuilders

[Overload]

I'd much rather look like Serge or Frank.

Good points Sev.

Tbombz answer to this:
A Ferrari would look tiny next to a Hummmer!!!
But which one would like to drive???
on the freeway, in the city, in a muddy cow pasture, or in the mountains?

Tyra Banks would look tiny next to Queen Latifah!!!
But which one would you like to fuck???
men usually prefer smaller women to larger ones. women usually consider larger men to be more attractive to smaller ones

...

I get that everyone has their preferences. Does ones health not make a difference? Excessive bodyweight, regardless of whether it's from muscle or fat is hard on ones health. These monster big dudes are sometimes really unhealthy. Their hearts and kidneys are often at risk of failure. Sure on the outside they look like superheros, but inside they are anything but that.

were all dying anyways. your a couple seconds to closer to death after reading these few words

I will detail my point for all the retards who support modern preggo bodybuilders:

You will never EVER be able to bet big enough no matter how big you get to create the ILLUSION of size to the human mind.

Your differential between waist shoulders, overall proportions etc are the points of reference.

It is MUCH easier to create illusion with a tighter slimmer waist and less mass than preggo waist and no matter how much mass.

If you loose the waist as in chiseled and sculpted and ripped say BYE BYE to the optical ILLUSION.

If you have a different point of view it means you did not GRASP what bodybuilding is no matter how long you've been at it.

In my senior yr in college, I told a female classmate that I wanted 21 inch arms...she said, "Why, would it change who you are or your perception of reality?"

she had a good point, and saying "because it would be cool", sounded really, really stupid.

On the face of it, it sorta does, but her question was kind of stupid as well.  So what if getting 21" arms didn't "change who you were" or altered your "perception of reality."  Winning the Superbowl didn't change who Tom Brady was -- not apart from a ring and reputation.  And I rather doubt it really affected the way he understands the world.  Does that mean winning the Superbowl (or whatever other championship) isn't worthwhile?  Or how about making a million dollars?  

I understand her point.  To an extent, it's not awful (obvious bifurcation aside).  Having big arms doesn't make us better people or provides us with any great insight.  But building them is still fun  Having a goal, even a selfish, cosmetic one, can be healthy if only for the process, the journey (sounds corny, I know).

I think the OP makes a good point about his opinion, but addresses it the wrong way.

First of all, you take 2 bodybuilders of different heights, different genetics, different access to drugs, and different levels of competition and compare them.

You can't take an NFL linemen from 50 years ago and expect him to compete in todays game can you?

The "beauty" of bodybuilding is gone in many aspects, sure.  However, if you want to compete at the highest levels of todays competition than you need to do what is necessary to compete there. 

Besides, if you want to try and look like Serge Nubret because thats your personal preference then go for it!  I doubt anyone will get there because they are not in fact Serge.  However, a smiliar look is achievable and if thats what you want then go for that look.  You may or may not be successful in todays competitive bodybuilding realm, but if you don't want to look like a modern day bodybuilder then uuuuummmm don't! lol.

However, if you want to be top of the top in TODAYS bodybuilding comps... then you need to stop focusing on how you want to look and start focusing on the look that is going to win.

first , ronnie was a great champ... ELITE bodybuilder... but!!!!
look at these pics.... look at them!!!! look closely....
where does the extra weight go?? 50% straight to the gut!!!!!
the rest to the legs.... bigger legs.... not better in my opinion...
this upperbody shot gives a great perspective! haney is not much smaller then ronnie.... but has no gut!!!
abuse of hgh and slin.... = bigger.... just that though.. bigger.... not better

Yep, that's it; mostly, the extra "muscle" is due to larger and greater drug abuse and to the fact that the judges and Bbers themselves said a big fuck you to proportions and balance. Guys got their stronger parts even stronger making their weaker parts look even weaker. That's "progress".

I`ve been saying this for years now.

I still wonder how the current bodybuilders have their stomachs so big. It can't be fat because their skin is paper thin.  I doubt it's viseral fat cause that's tied into how much subcutaneous fat you have. It has to be organ growth from GH and insulin use.

i said it before.  in mid 90's Milos had achieved the physique he dreamt of. perfect proportion. looked like a statue. was on the cover of every muscle mag. placed like shit.

added 30 lbs of bloat to his gut and he started placing higher and higher.

the ifbb doesnt' need to test, they just need to stop  rewarding the look the excess drugs cause.  if guys with huge guts started to lose, those drugs would be long gone from the sport.

[hench]

spot on there, in many cases todays crop have inferior arms and chests etc.
