A lot of his exercise modifications were great........his nutritional advice=OK,his suppllement advice was insane.

But then again,back then ,nobody knew too much.......at least he was thinking and innovative while others were sheeplike.

He was a nut though from all accounts.  :)

That was at the 1983 london grand prix at wembley,i was there to watch that contest,it was great sportmanship from Lee.Scary to think when you look at the pics of Matt M and Rory that its nearly 30 years since they first burst onto the scene.

I agree that this was a better era. The bloated physiques of today are horrible. However, many pros and top amateurs still train quite hard- for example, Hide was doing heavy squatting and deadlifts in prep for the Olympia. Tito Raymond does very heavy squats and deadlifts for his size. There are still hardcore trainers at Gold's and elsewhere. Also, there is nothing wrong with mixing in machines when they are effective.

Fuck me, this thread is more motivating than the looks I get from hot girls when I walk my trenbolona-filled body to lectures.

Thanks, Wes!
