wish there was a centralized posting of all their diets/workouts..


they all have a similar build/shape and must have been doing the same diets/workouts...

I suspect that the main difference in this type of physique and today's charlatans is that today it is a take all the dope you can at any cost, even their life. 

Other differences would be people trained hard and took time away form both training and steroids.  They ate but didn't stuff themselves throughout the day. I never saw anyone walking around the gym with a stupid milk jug filled with some mysterious potion.  Neither did I know anyone that prepared their chicken, broccoli and rice (or whatever) and carried it with them everywhere in Tupperware. 

And yes, more than a few bodybuilders were lazy and stooooopid but unlike today, the majority of people we saw on the dais and trained with in the gym had real jobs.  They could also string together words to form coherent sentences.

They weren't drinking Rheo Blair crap.  That's nonsense.

Pre-contest they ate meat, fish, lean proteins.  Some veggies for carbs but not much.  No dairy products or cheese as it has too much sodium.  No baked goods.

A cheat day once a week maybe.

In addition they were taking lots of the then popular steroids. But generally only pre-contest.  No year-round drugs!  No reason to do that.  They peaked for one or two shows a year.

Off season they ate normally.  

Pre-contest they trained 4-6 days a week with splits.  Off season 3-4 times a week if that much.

If everyone lived like this there would be a lot of lean, muscular people walking around.
