Just goes to show you all the extra "weight" these guys are carrying nowadays isn't doing them any good!

Bingo!  Welcome to the my world LOL.

The heaviest pro at the '91 IM was S. Cotrell from UK at 250 and he was 6' 3".
Benfatto looked incredible and he's listed at 5'6" and 178 lbs.

A young Vince Taylor  around 5'9" ,competed at 210 here looking pretty massive on stage.

Adding sheer mass just for the sake of being bigger doesn't always = better.
Plus, you don't need to drug test, if the judges simply reward the best overall physiques .

First of all thanks for the compliment. Take a look at these guys today. I don't  mean just the competitors but all these guys who are weighing in excess of 240 plus. You would be hard pressed to find any of them who could stand next to the guys in this video and match them for size. Arms are bigger chest is bigger, back and legs. The one thing that you do see on the bigger guys today are huge guts. Years ago a buddy of mine who was not a lifter and never was wanted to lose some weight. He had a huge freakin gut from drinking beer. Surprisingly he was not all that fat I mean as far as subq fat. Legs were very lean, you couldn't pinch an ounce of fat on this guys stomach but he looked like he swallowed a watermelon. He was a huge beer drinker and had the tell tale beer gut but almost all of his fat was visceral meaning behind the abdominal wall. He cut back on beer no he didn't quit and went on a very strict diet. He lost 45 pounds and his stomach was all but gone. Now think about these guys today and try to imagine where all this extra weight is coming from. Now maybe you don't need to imagine anymore. So my question is what does a beer drinker have in common with todays current bodybuilder?

Truth its a terrible look the current look, is there anyway back for these guys disgusted, not on a competitive sense, just a physique sense, guy at my gym I see every morning looks huge in clothes compared to us 90s guys but on stage his gut kills everything, theres no illusion of size like we had back in the glory days.
Can these guys avoid the insulin, use some t3 to help shrink the visceral fat, maybe even some gh,along with just gear how do they lose this fat and bring their waists back, or is it permanent , this guys legs and back are huge but due to his waist, nothing pops, he's still placing well as the whole sport has the issue but he wants to try and reduce this as a priority rather than continue skin.

never understood why the judges penalized him for being short.

he had good conditioning and one of the few people ever to have ZERO weak body parts, yet they always placed him below first because he was so short.

he won only 1 pro show if I recall. but was top 4 or 5 in almost  everyone one he entered.

Pastel was shorter than Lee Priest. I think that bigger guys like Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler & Aaron Baker just made him disappear
