It's always nice to talk about when the times were good.

Nobody wants to train like a real man anymore. They think bodybuilding is all about the drugs, period. When people come up to me and ask talk about training, I notice the first question they ask is about drugs. No questions about training, diet, determination, nothing. Just drugs. They have absolutely ZERO interest in the actual training aspects of bodybuilding and are more interested in obtaining a supposed  "magic pill" that gets you jacked over night. I always tell them to go read Arnold book and get back to me when their finished it lol.

So true, excellent post.

Great post.  This is soo true.  They don't really understand or get the joys of Training.  Hell years ago i started working out just to gain some muscles, but now 15 years later, i find myself going nuts, if i dont get a few heavy workouts a few times per week.  

Now really only thing that keeps me sane these days with kids and normal job and all that mess.

Excellent. Bodybuilding can help you or hurt you, depending on your personality traits and behavior patterns. And as I know there are more fuck ups in bodybuilding than not, and its good to see someone whos doesnt let the bodybuilding lifestyle and scene control you. Its funny I try to stay away from the bodybuilding crowds in Toronto basically because I think 99% of them are drug addicted panzies who are too weak to stay off the drugs and train like a real man and do heavy freeweights. instead they ask me "If only I had your size bro!" So many phonies and fakes out there man. God damn wussies im telling ya lol.

Here is an observation.  People criticize when someone cheats on lifts.  I gotta tell you why would that be an issue at all.  Everyone and I mean everyone who does this are guys who have no real size or strength.  and the guys you criticize are the guys who are huge and strong and somewhat successful at lifting.  so don't you think that if cheating was so bad that you (the person who does strict reps) would be huge and strong and making money from you body.  Sure the way he does and every other successful powerlifter, bodybuilder or strength athlete has some cheating in it, but it sure seems to work.  If cheating gets you 20"+ arms and a 500+ pound bench and envious looks from everyone who sees you then I would think you should consider mixing in a few cheat reps because your strict rep idea is not working.

waaaay off base. its not cheating, or form. its drugs and genetics.

remove either from the equation and youve got a regular dude.

drugs DO build big bodies from relatively avg genetics. Great genetics dont build big bodies like loads of drugs do.

the fact is that bertil could do anything as long as he worked- and took drugs, and he wouldve been a big dude. his genetics assured that.

Nasser is a great example of what drugs can do for so so genetics.

This might be true with many in bodybuilding but I do not think that was the case with Bertil.  He probably did respond great to the drugs he got, AS WELL, as have some awesome genetics in terms of muscle fullness, shape, body structure, etc.  

I bet if Bertil had taken another path in life, he still would be one big sonofabitch

Bertil and Roy Callender were my two favorite guys from back in those days.

Roy had one of the more unattainable looking physiques of that era. Fox was another. You looked at them and said, "no way."

You'd have to believe that if Roy were in his prime, now, he could compete at the top level.

Mofos had chests back then. Now, not so much, why is that?

Roy was huge a nice guy too best I understand. I think back then as Arnold they did heavy weights and didnt rely on drugs as much. I see half movements and lighters weights nowdays. These mofos did full movements and were strong back in the day.

How and more importantly WHY do you post on here almost 40 times a day? You must be refreshing your browser every few seconds. 1 year and 18,000 posts later is beyond insane..

Roy was very nice and approachable.  I have mentioned it many times on here before.  Roy used to do dip with 2 150 lb. dumbbells hanging from his waist.  He also did chin-ups the same way.  He was unreal strong in those movements.  Full reps too.

He seems like a great guy but something about him makes me think he's a fucking psychopath if you pissed him off.
