Look around the college campus, Buffalo wing night at the sports bar, the beach, the mall, and in the advertising media incl. sports gear/clothing. The metrosexuals have taken over. The warm and fuzzy feminizing of America and Europe is winning.

We are neanderthals in the eyes of the masses. A 13" arm, six pack, zero pecs, skinny legs and zero ass, Brian Seacrest high front flip on your hair, all work these days with the ladies.

So true.  You see shit like "see so and so's buff pecs or six pack" and it's some twink actor with a shit chest and no abs being promoted as buff.

Bodybuilding has just become so stupid, it's literally all drugs, gay 4 pay, marketing bullshit supplements, fake shitty tans, and photo-shopped pictures. What the hell happened to proportion and dense muscles that are attractive to women? It's just all so fake, and these guys have zero personality, you'd have a better time interviewing a rock.

From the video's i've seen of recent, guys train like fucking pussies nowadays and make up for the laziness with the Boston Loyd style drug protocols. Golden era for Icelord:



More late '90's awesomeness! I used to watch this chick every morning while I made breakfast in high school.

^^^

That isn't the will of the audience or the fans, though. It's a bunch of corrupt, greasy "judges" that are on the payroll of the biggest sponsors to promote their athletes.

And it's also why the average joe doesn't want to be a bodybuilder anymore. The uglier you get, the better you place. Who wants to die at 45 with a gut the size of a forklift wheel? Nobody except a few old farts like Branch/Toney Freeman/Dexter etc. and a handful of naive juicebags with no careers.

even though many of the bodies were absolutely incredible, you might be right about 94 being the start of the downslide

that was the beginning of having a Mr. Olympia with one friggin arm
