that benefatto picture must be pretty recent, looking at the Nike's that guy is wearing. At least in the last four years...no?

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.

true. even though they let ed kawak, brian buchanan, and several other nabba guys into the ifbb, they told King ( a multiple universe winner) and Mike Quinn that they would have to qualify through the npc.

Mike went back and won the usa's ( he had already won the universe); Jeff said forget it and retired.

Notice how no one has came on here to defend the present day "pros".......the judges should take note on what people want to see.

All I have to say is Wow. 

All you have to really do is thank the judges for killing off the sport.  They did the same thing to women's bodybuilding and figure.  It's just taken Men's Bodybuilding a little longer to catch up.

When you  reward these ugly physiques, this is what shows up at contests.

Looking at Jay compared with these guys, and even the shows I personally went to in the 90's is a JOKE.

At 6' he was bigger than most, but not as big as Rory, Bob preferred to stay pretty lean in the off season while Rory liked to blow up to 280-300.

Ok, but that require thinking and thinking takes carbohydrates and I'm lacking carbohydrates at the present, but as you can tell by my previous posts on other thread.....I'm real good at arguing..LOL.

But believe me when I tell you I have nothing bad to say and still have the utmost respect for him to this day. Rory on the otherhand, I still talk and see him on a pretty regular basis. I'll have some stories when I gather my wits.

Disgusted, the question is..........Why were the guys back then so much better than teh guys now???


And how much of an impact does massive steroid use and insulin have to play in this.
