Whats your favorite ERA in Bodybuilding ?

70s!

Now that is the real Louie Ferrigno. Not the imposter of 1992 thru 1994.

I met him when I was 8 or so.  My childhood best friend was cousins or perhaps nephew with someone on the Cardinals at that time,  Julian Javier I seem to remember.

He was one of the best ever.

Bullet Bob. Imagine catching him? Your hand would be sore for days.

I would have loved too. And I was used to catching.  I was a catcher since I was 8 years old.  Its the only position I played.  And I caught some very fast pitchers.  Actually the fastest (consistant) was my friend Greg Staffon.  Our high school had probably more pro ballplayers come out of it than any in the country. As a junior Greg was timed at 96mph.  He was the first pitcher signed in the June draft.  By Montreal. We played winterball together in St. Petersburg.  Dennis Lamp also threw hard.  Bert Blyleven threw 90 pretty consistant too.  Bob Gibson was way before my time but it would have been nice  He was a big dude too.

My Favorite Era In Bodybuilding:

The 90's is my favorite because of how competitive the Mr. Olympia contest was. Dorian did the right thing by retiring after winning the olympia in 1997. A lot of other pros pushed Dorian to the limit while he was on top. The only people that could have arguably upset Dorian were Nasser, Flex, Levrone, or Ronnie.

I also like the women's side because of how the Ms. O for a few years became a contest between two great champions Lenda Murray and Kim Chizevsky.

After that whole period of infamous time in the 90's, I think the overall quality of bodybuilding mags has declined in my opinion. I really enjoyed reading that "Ask Zulak" uncensored column every month in one particular hardcore mag.

well If I had to pick an era it would definately be the early 90s but that's really just because of one stand out year.  It wasn't 90, 91, 92, 0r 94.

By 70's early 80's do you mean degrees fareinheit because I think that was around the temperature in Venice California back in 93 when Billy Smith measured Flex Wheelers BF at Gold's Venice.  Sources say the reading came out prettty low.
