Didn't know about Cedric. Centopani doesn't count. Haven't seen him compete or be a threat in years. Didn't know about levrone but he still got on stage. ran us was a hAmstring. Big deal.
Aside from branch I haven't seen any physique changing tears that fired retirements or made guys consider retirement like it did in the 80s and 90s
Also the way of lifting for most changed, in the 80's and 90's guys were more "hardcore" heavy lifting, intensity
Now guys train like Phil, jay, dexter type, volume, moderate weights, pump sets
Some guys still train heavy but that's few, far and between compared to the guys of the past
