Whats your guys favorite Bodybuilding Era? The beginning with Steeve Reeves, 70s with Arnold, 80s with Mentzer/Barbian Bros ,the 90s with Everyone. or today. Mine is definatly the 90s. All the old mags from the 90s are awesome.

I was thinking yesterday, the only guys that are still around from the 90s are Lee and Ronnie. Kevin,Shawn, Nasser,Dorian, etc. they are all no longer competing.

well i wouldn't say wrong, but guys started pushing the envelope which goes for everything. A backflip on a motorbike used to be a big deal, now nobody gives a shit unless you go for a double with a variation.

But the physiques of the early 90s are what made me want to train. Eddie Robinson, Lee, Ray.

I'd pick the same time period but more because of the atmosphere etc

I liked the camaraderie of the 70s and the competition in the 90s.

Yeah like Dorian had one?

Mr. one arm.
I'm going with the mid 90s up until 99. After that it went south.

I'd have to say bb's looked there best in the 70' and 80's now there just freaks....

Eyeball Chambers · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2007, 02:26:27 AM »

yep mid 1990s..from 1993 to 1999 were the golden years of bodybuilding...

TheAnimal · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:11:53 AM »

I'm going to have to say Dorian's era, he shocked us all and brought an undeniably complete physique.

GoneAway · « **Reply #21 on:** January 21, 2007, 08:13:38 AM »

Hard to say...

Every era had their share of fantastic physiques. I'll go with the 90's, since the guts were not as rampant as today, and the physiques were some of the best ever. Would of been cool to see Nasser pose live.

70's...I dont care for the super ripped paper thin skin with veins bulging look. I think the guys from the 60's and 70's got shredded but it wasn't anatomy thin. They looked healthier to me...and BBing to me is about health.
