They all look 10x better than what was onstage this year with the exception of Wolf who would have fit in well with that lineup.

I think it's awesome that Vince is still kicking around and seemingly healthy after years of juice. I hope some of the older guys live a long life as it would show that moderate juice use is not detrimental.

I like when pros make up stuff when they say they only use 100mg a week or whatever.

Stuff that makes absolutely no scientific sense at all.

Those are fantastic shots! As you said that shows a massive difference between bodybuilding now and ten years ago. Every single one of those pictures is mind blowing (in a good way)! Thank you very much

why is that bbers from the 90's look better then bbers now? And are the same size too? the IFBB has to make some serious changes, no one in those shots has a GH gut

Flex has a bodytype like Melvin Anthony. He's sharper though of course.

Anthony has good shoulders and back though, I say Flex has him on legs Arms maybe and conditioning.

Melvin had a freakier taper than Flex, because Melvin is 5'8. FLex had better arms, although Melvin has a double biceps peak on one arm. Flex has better conditioning and Chest, although they both are weak in that area and had the same problem areas-glutes and hams,

Awesome line up.

Too bad most of today's pros look like bloated pigs in comparison.

Pics are good but is anyone going to post a vid of Dillet freezing up at one of the Arnold's?

thos were the best bodybuilding years no doubt about it
guys like palumbo, kovacs were a joke in the 90's
now we have clown all over and very few real bodybuilders

Actually Kev was closer to the cmaera. It could have gone either way, and Flex was pissed as hell. Flex wasn't as good as he was before in 1993 0r 1995. But Flex was fuller, I think this was when GH was starting to be used heavily....

WOW!!! Bodybuilding has gone backwards since then. Half those guys would have walked the Mr 'O this Year!!
Likewise, respect to Vince - He's determined to come back better than ever in 2008 if he can shake his back injury that hampered his 2007 Olympia.

One word to describe those Pics ... AMAZING ! I wish that's what Bodybuilders looked like nowadays ... I really do.
