early 90's: strydom,zuccolotto,j.quinn, francois,etc.and today: the difference?

[Tom]

just bought the 1991 and 1991 WBF show shows on video with strydom,zuccolotto, j.quinn, m.christian,e.robinson,etc. anyway, great physiques back then! huge, ripped, symetrical, but not monstrous that is compared to today. what is the reason?

more drug use, not only in dosages, but variety?

the use of insulin and growth hormone?

both of the above? or is the training methods as well?

personally would rather have a strydom, francois,e.robinson, circa early 90's physique than 99 percent of the pros now!

i would say they took same anabolics maybe less duration or amounts but took excessive dosages neverthless,gh/slin was maybe starting to kick around but not all used it yet,yates probably began use around 94.and to say strydom 6'1 275,eddie robinson 5'7 225,j quinn 5'11 275,mike christian 245 to 265 not monstrous i don't know all of them would fill out a stage and push some of today pros too,strydom in his prime other than his back would be top 5 at olympia.but that's just a guess diff times.

They were big boys, all of them. Strydom had great physique minus his back. Robinson was very big for his height, huge arms. Christian probably one of the best upper bodies of all time. Quinn was very big but very unasthetic, vascular too.

Overall, there just was something bout those late 80's early 90's guys that looked far more appealing than todays production line.
