How the Mr Olympia champion has evolved, then de-volved

silvio needs to get some of the excess tissue from his face in the off season.

Didn't seem to hurt him at the Europa.

You take away gh and insulin.

Guys get more and more ripped.

This is FACT!

I'm better looking than you.

This is a fact.

Prove it. 





Plus my physique crushes you. I have it all.

LOok you morons, bbing had to evolve or it would have gotten boring and the sport would have died. And in bbing tradition bigger has always been better, you talk about arnold, scott, haney, and dorian as have very pleasing physiques, you need to remember that in there day they were the mass monsters. All those guys were the jay, and ronnie's of there day. The sport had to become better, it had to improve and size has always been the way it goes.

I completely disagree, all bodybuilding contests are supposed to be judged by who looks best on the day period. It was the judges who rewarded an overly freaky dorian, they didn't have to. There was absolutely no need to glorify mass at all costs and boy has it cost us! Bodybuilding was big in the 70's because of arnold, back then girls were attracted to guys with muscles. That's all changed and we get weirdos as pros BECAUSE there is no money and women go nowhere near bodybuilders THEREFORE the ones we do get are usually either gay or have mental problems. If the sport hadn't gotten too crazy with the drugs and rippedness, chicks would still be sort of into it and there would be a greater caliber of athletes out there. As is most people won't touch it. And this didn't have to happen, the competitors dont have to always get bigger! Just doesn't work that way. WHen dorian and nasser started the freak revolution they could have been shunned and we wouldnt even be having this conversation. The last 2 great bodybuilders were dennis newman and kevin levrone, nobody has come around that can touch either at his best since. They were handsome, marketable good bodybuilders and still attractive to women. GG bodybuilding.

mike, you are correct.

They curbed the women getting too muscular, and started rewarding shape and lines.  women stopped getting shredded.

if they curbed the guts, men would adapt to get prize money, and we'd see more aesthetics and less fridges up there.
