Bodybuilding should change, like it was in the 1990's
« on: September 08, 2007, 03:51:23 PM »
In my opinion, bodybuilding's best years were from 1990-1999 from then its getting uglier and uglier. The best ever at their best were there. FLEX WHEELER, SHAWN RAY, DORIAN YATES, KEVIN LEVRONE, RONNIE COLEMAN, CHRIS CORMIER. There was competition, drama, all these and all the other pros were like stars.

They had personalities, charisma, the best bodybuilding bodies ever, most of the time they were at top condition. Everybody wanted to learn about them and from them. Bodybuilding (as a professional sport) was awesome, i was anxious to watch the next bfto or read then new issues of the magazines.

NOW, everything is boring, monsters with bloated stomachs, ugly with no charisma, no talent, no personalities. Most of the time they sound stupid or ready to fall asleep (a result of the crazy amount of drugs). Something must change - i dont know what, and i certainly dont know how. I just wanted to say these things and see if anyone over there agrees with me... thx...

If we are talking purely about the pro shows, what I see is that in the 1990's, it was easier to become a pro when you were in your 20s.  In the 2000's, some of the competitors become pro's in the late 30s.  There is still a lot of excitement when it comes to various pro shows. The Olympia, and the Arnold now are just not bodybuilding shows, but an experience with expo's and a lot more people, staged over the course of a few days. You didn't have that in the early 1990's.  

A press conference is coming up in three weeks at the Olympia? Seriously, what would you want to make it more exciting, and if you don't have someting constructive to say, just don't.

The ugly monsters should stop winning shows or placing good cause they are huge.The magazines should help to this direction.There will be less drugs and oils.Bodybuilding must be freaky thats why we love it,but not like this.BB should be about condition and beauty too.More young and full of excitment pros should appear to challenge the old ones,even if they arent monsters.I mean there are still people,gifted with genetics for bb,but they are not willing to give their lifes in order to become so huge.Not all can be that huge.Dillett was HUGE.Ray wasnt.Nasser was huge.Levrone was great,Flex too.For some years Ronnie was getting bigger and better.Everybody tried to be the same.Thats when it got ugly...

I agree.  That in itself would make bodybuilding 725.98% more exciting!

C'mon, Ron, hook a brother up....  for the good of the sport!  ;D

Again, no concrete answers. We got a press conference in three weeks. Seriously, what can make it exciting? As for blue stars, if he comes to the Olympia, and says hello, by all means..

The Olympia in three weeks if quite exciting. Always enjoy it, from the press conference, to the people around, to just having fun.

Ron,you got a press conference in 3weeks,so speak.Show the problems.Pros must change the way they want their bodies in order to win.The athletes follow what the judges say,no matter what the cost is?So,change it.Its ugly right now.If a discussion about this starts,a serious one,something will change or else bodybuilding will die along with the pros...

Okay, serious post on the topic:  why does bodybuilding not seem as exciting as in in 90's? What's different?  Two words: the internet. 

In the 90's, all anyone knew about bodybuilding was what they read in the once-a-month magazines. Because these mags were professionally put together to create an "image", bodybuilding seemed like a real sport, and had sort of a mystique to it. Your information was limited, so your mind filled in the gaps with fanciful ideas that bore no semblance of the reality of the situation.  The internet has been a double-edged sword for bodybuilding...  it has raised interest, but at the same time it has exposed pro bodybuilding for the sad, pathetic reality it is. 

I agree with the original poster that there were more great physiques in the 90's, and Ron is correct that the shows/expos are a lot better now, but the real difference is the public now has "too much information" and the reality of bodybuilding just doesn't live up to the hype the mags were selling for decades.

No, more like mud

What is wrong with the athletes getting bigger because science has evolved? Yes, there are not as many quality pros like back in the day, but that goes with any sport or even music...most things are cyclical IMO. One day, quality will be there again.

Too many people have voiced their dissaproval and no one listens. Money talks man sorry to say and freaks put people in the seats.

People have been saying the same thing since the dawn of time. It was better in the old days, blah blah blah. Little miniture versions of you are going to say how bodybuilding in the year 3000 is out of hand and how great it was during the "Getbig" eara, circa 2000-2010. >:(

Goatboy i agree with you.busyB science has evolved and should help our enviromental problems or treat diseases.Bodybuilders arent robots(maybe they are).But you are right about the money.Pros are puppets and some make serious money from all this situation...
