why such big guts on modern bodybuilders?
« on: July 28, 2013, 04:48:14 PM »
so do you guys think all the modern bodybuilders have thick waists  and big bellys because they eat so much or do you think its because drugs enlarge there organs. I mean even guys considered aesthetic still have fairly thick waists. guys like dexter, victor ect.... i seen certain pics of them from the side doing a double biceps or maybe just standing relaxed and you can see they have a gut. Dont really remember seeing guys like arnold, ed corney, robby robinson or even guys from the 80s having guts like that.

I never heard of bodybuilders using insulin and growth hormone in the the 70's and early 80's. Every pro I believe uses both today. Yes they are gigantic but do they look better that the physiques of the early 80's? I say absolutely not.

I don't know what pros used or use - just that they do use. But I agree with latter part of this post: sure today the pros are positively huge, but the physiques they have are simply not appealing. At least to me.

I was watching the '88 Olympia and nearly every competitor would be in the 212 today.  Lee Haney was a monster at 245 lbs.  Today's guys are not dieted down far enough to trim the gut.
