That's one hell of a difference between the greats of yester-year (Reeves, Eifferman, Grimick, Hilligen, and many others who appear lacking in the ab department when compared against the "kids" of today when they put their mind to it).
So what is the Secret?
Method, GH?? I doubt it but it would be interesting to hear from GH15, TBomz, and a few other GetBiggers on that subject.
Actually their ain't no Secrets in bodybuilding unless you know almost nothing about body building.
If there is a secret here, it is that each of these great ab guys had something in common.
And that 'something in common" was that each of them weighed it at less than 200 lbs wringing wet (and possibly much less) and sacrificed muscle size for lean-ness.
There are a few Getbiggers who have done the same and have abs just about as good as those shown above, so maybe they'll cut in and reveal their secret if it's anything other than hard work and a phenominally strict diet.

Tim, I know two brothers. One is lean and ripped Competitive Bodybuilder) and the other is bulked to the gills (Powerlifter). The lean one refers to his big bro as the "Blocky Blunder" and the bulked up one refers to his leaner bro as something that even GetBiggers would be offended by.
Tim, what year was that Scott cover shot taken? The date is too small for me to read on my screen.
And that is the best shot of Page I've ever seen. I never thought he looked that good. Big surprise.

PS... of all the pros shown earlier in this post, I've only had the misfortune to have not worked with or met two of them... Basil and Wayne... but I did talk to Wayne a couple of times while he had a column in one of Weider's magazines. That column of his was the only thing concerning BB worth reading back then.
