[Ronnie Rep]

it's not like they are impressing anyone with their "mass" which is not even close to coleman's mass anyway

so why are they not trimming down to look respectable?

FUCK!

[mesmorph78]

I second that, and welcome in the +10,000 posts club

ronnie was the last  amazing bber

[Man of Steel]

Because being huge is awesome

Agreed and I think Lee "Dump on your Chest" Priest said it best: "If I walk by and teenage girls are grossed out I've done my job."

Crazy how he looked like that in 05 and went downhill fast in a span of a year during the 06 Olympia

Thing is, I still would've given him that Olympia.  He still owned Jay in the front lat spread, front double biceps, side chest, most muscular and, even with a fucked lat, still held his own in the back poses.  I'd only give Jay the side-triceps and ab/thigh.  4 winning poses vs. two and another two (or even one, if you want to give Jaw the rear lat spread) = Ronnie wins, especially given that he was harder overall.

Listen to Lou from around 1:30 - 2:20 and he explains very well
what the majority audience wants to see.

i would rather see labrada, paris, benfatto, cottrell, bannout, robinson, schwarzenegger, haney and padilla........than see these mutants from outer space that grace the stage today! i will bet that many more people want to see old school physiques, than want to see the new school physiques.

[anabolichalo]

i really hate lou

that mentally impaired chump

[El Diablo Blanco]

It started with God.  He was on the sauce

[wild willie]

cause how are you going to justtify progression,,,if you remove all drogeries from the past u get

eugen sandow - who lived 100 years ago

if leave low doses of anabola you get - ment's physique's guys

if you leave high doses without diabetic injecitons you get arnold

no progression

bodybuilding is a sport without future

no future without drugs

none

never will be

eat shit motherfuckers........... joe weider the homo is to blame

piss off!!!

[doriancutlerman]

piss off!!!

Fully agreed.

And this shit about Mentzer taking 2,500mg of Deca is sure news to me.  He told me everything he did drug-wise, and he had every reason to be candid with me.  His weekly AAS use might've added up to about half this "well-known fact" Deca dose he was taking :roll:  Even at that, he said he never noticed better gains from about the 600mg-800mg/wk. gear level than when he and Ray tried twice that.  He claimed the only extra thing he got was a lot of pimples and a very sore ass from all of the frequent test prop shots IIRC.

Lou is just defending his territory...makes perfect sense though.

High level thinking that...

Clearly those teenage girls have become the judges.

Zane is just jealous. He looked great, but Ronnie had great balance and definition, he didn't looked ripped to the bone but once you get to a certain size that isn't happening unless you are Munzer.

Plus, I bet Zane was on something during that documentary  his face looks bloated,something so unusual in the chemist".
