great picture.

The old bodybuilders looked much better.
their physiques are far more attainable than todays bodybuilders. They weren't all drugs.

Rare one of Matt Mendenhall.

I agree. Zane was terribly overrated. Never should have an O.

On the other hand, I agree with the general theme of this thread. Physiques were much better in the 90s as compared with today

Matt C · « **Reply #34 on:** October 11, 2007, 12:16:57 AM »

The physiques were better only because they were smaller. If pros today were not as big, they would look just as good. Nothing has changed other than the fact that current pros are bigger. All that muscle does look overwhelming. Some of you speak as if there are other differences between the eras other than sheer size. Even Lee Haney at 300 pounds would not look as good.

.

Mendenhall was THE MAN. Too bad he couldn't dial in his conditioning. Incredibly small joints for a big guy. He dwarfed Strydom at the nationals.

Everyone talks about how ripped Dexter is and don't get me wrong he is, but even the guys from years ago who were not even considered shredded had striations where todays guys could only dream of.

why cant current guys get striations like that? is it the drugs they use? if so which ones?

some fuked up shit is goin on with current physiques.

webcake · « **Reply #37 on:** October 11, 2007, 03:24:35 AM »

Yeah Mendenhall had pretty much perfect genetics for bodybuilding. Great physique on him. Huge guy, but a very aesthetic physique.

Neither should have Cutler.

The intramuscular detail and quality of muscle has gone now. Look at those Serge Nubret pics on his thread. 6 foot tall and only 212 pounds, BUT of quality shredded muscle ....

I'm with you 100%, look at that Sergio pic! And that was fr/ the 80's! Someone paste that next to Cutler.

How about this?

That man got screwed more than anyone else in the 90's. It was definitely because he was so short.

Exactly, good quality shredded muscle is gone thanks to the use of insulin.

I think the reason he left is because the Ifbb changed the rules on him so that he could not be a proffesional unless he had won an NPC pro qualifier or something simmilar on those line.

How about this guy? Should've stuck around to beat dorian.

Funny how 95% of the BBers on this thread are better and more refined than the pro's of today, man this industry has gone down hill.

Disgusted · « **Reply #48 on:** October 11, 2007, 10:11:28 AM »

Stood next to Mike a couple of years ago at a show and I was shocked at how narrow he is in the shoulders.
