Coach...I'll tell you something seriously...
Early 1994 I was in Florida and I had a great chance for the first time in my life to meet one of the all time bodybuilding greats (for the time being I will not say his name...but to make it clear - TOP PHYSIQUE...IFBB PRO CHAMPION AND A LIVING LEGEND...someone who inspired me a great deal when I was starting....and who still does - after all these years).
Anyway, as I was excitingly telling him how much I admired him and some of the other "old-schoolers"....I did manage to sneak comment/question that "I can only imagine how would he...and many others of his "stone-Iron-age
" guys look IF they had all the Rx and knowledge that was available at present time..."
He looked at me straight in the eyes and asked me: "And WHY do you think WE DIDN'T have...or use THE SAME STUFF you are using - AND MORE!!!???"
I was confused for a second (not very common feeling to me) but I soon managed to start naming some products and methods...and needless to say - just about every question was answered with BEEN THERE, DONE THAT....
AMEN
