poor example, very poor in fact cause the 90's is when bodybuilders stopped progressing. One can even argue that it has regressed. Either way any of the 90's guy can compete today relatively successfully, I mean Branch winning the Arnold is proof of this. Now the guys of the 70's and 80's would get slaughtered in any ifbb line of the last 20 years. C'mon McWay keep your argument reasonable.
My argument is reasonable. I've heard bodybuilders say this, time and time again. Go back 20 years and read some articles, with bodybuilders from the 70s and 80s. Go back 40 years and you'll hear guys from the 50s and 60s say the same thing about bodybuilders of the 70s and 80s.
They almost mirror what Ronnie said about Heath and his contemporaries: "We trained harder!" "They all look the same!" "We had more comraderie!" "They're too drugged up". etc.
Bodybuilders from a certain era (along with their fans) think they're the greatest of all time, that their predecessors are too small and their successors (though perhaps bigger) aren't really better.
And, no, any of the 90s guys cannot compete successfully today. Many of them would be relegated to the 212 class today.
