Ok, and against popular belief and I've said thisbefore, bodybuilders trained hard and heavy back then, it was more of a priority than drugs. They trained twice a day, everyday. At least for us,legs was was a 3-4 hour Saturday affair, as an example. Today, there is very little work ethic, the work ethic today is taking their next shot at a certain time.
i will tell u first hand I grew up around pros and worked in and trained at some of the worlds most famous/infamous gyms.
Bodybuilders train NOTHING like in the older days. I stepped away from the gym scene in the early nineties for nearly ten years. I was building my business. I built a huge home gym so I never left the training though. When I could let the business run itself I began to vacation again. I found myself back in the gyms. The absolute first thing that was struck me hard was how big and puffy all the pros got and how they trained like pussies! Like slugs using light machines but bulging mounds of puffy muscle everywhere. Gone was the screaming to failure, gone was the passing out n puking due to high rep heavy squats, gone were the giant sets n super sets, gone was the urgency to get to your next set. Gone was that "eye of the tiger" tunnel vision almost trance like or leaving this world mentally for the moment and being engrossed or lost in the iron.
Ce la vie.
