could those guys have gotten in better condition if they wanted to? like could you have gotten shreaded glutes back then ?
or is that more of a thing that came along with HGH and the more extreme drug cycles?
or was it ALWAYS possible to get shreaded glutes, but the judging criteria didnt call for such extreme condition back then?
I've seen guys with ripped glutes who didn't use anything they didn't have access to back then. Most of them were on relatively low dosages though.
I'd say that it's actually due to the size requirements for the pro's that it's practically impossible for them to be shredded without going to the extreme. It's hard to be that heavy, shredded, but also have full muscles.
