2012 Olympia - How are the pros soft backstage, but get ripped on stage?
« on: September 30, 2012, 05:05:59 AM »
this is somthing i discussed with a brit pro a while back, he was saying how he thought all the top guys were soft back stage, but once they hit a shot they just popped..

now in the 90's and maybe the late 80's, the guys were peeled, they didnt even need to hit a shot they were that hard, just walking or moving and the fibres were on show... but the current crop are like water bombs, but miraculously look dry as sticks once they hit the shot??

IMO the guys from those eras...Haney...Yates...C oleman... had that "Look" as in just standing there looking like Granite was more to do with Many many years of Muscle Maturing....as in those guys BUILT those Physiques over MANY years of Toil and yes Drugs of course HOWEVER its my View that in this day n age of the "Quick fix".....The bbing greats from bye gone eras had that Different look due to the Time factor/Muscle Maturity/Drugs etc etc

No expert on drugs or anything, but IMO there is definitely a difference. Since somewhere mid 2000s most physiques starts looking softer and less conditioned. Only a handful of guys really looks shredded now.

Mr Olympia '06 '07 '08 '09 '10 '11 '12 all seem to have this phenomenon.

Like you say, when they stand relaxed they looks pretty smooth all of them, and things get better when they pose.

Earlier ronnie ca 98-2002 shows - they look better relaxed.

Also a difference going back to the seventies/eighties they looked different again.
Must be some trend in drugs that causes this...

Maybe I'm out of my depth here, I haven't slept well for two days (the shows are broadcasted 4.00 am in sweden)  ;D
