Most of these guys wouldn`t place top 5 in a local show.Remember when the Nationals competitors all looked awesome ? Each weight class used to be packed with top level guys.
Judging by who we see at these shows, BBing with millenials is not cool anymore. Its the guys 37 and up to 60 who still wear the crazy gym clothes and think 5 percent is cool and hip. U can tell by these pics. Its the old eccentric hardcore sub crowd that wants to don a thong amd do battle. No self respecting person with a good career is into that shit. Maybe mens phsyique but even then, its kind of more for guys n girls without much goin on for them. Thong and short contests attracts the misfits of society now
Dude,in local NPC contests there are at times up to 4-500 competitors.Not all are in the BB class of course,but there are still tons of younger guys that compete.Just check MD for contest results and see how many guys there are.
Wes, when you competed in 1845 at the age of 24, how was the bodybuilding scene back then?
THATS NOT MOOKY BLACK...
What the nationals looked like 32 years ago

How the fuk did they qualify, then?
You still have to quality for nationals SF, because remember Genova thought he did but even he didn't make it.And he'd wipe the floor with at least a few of these midgets!
That is true. Then how the hell are these guys qualifying?
That photo looks like Branch still placing top six at the 2018 Olympia
W t F! That is all from one show? My god
