It really sucks that skin loses it's elasticity over time.

Anabolic steroids greatly accelerate collagen loss, which is why juicers with low body fat levels had such thin skin and hose-like veins compared to naturals. It's also why their faces look so old and parchment-like. So I guess I'm saying if these guys wanted to keep some of their skin's elasticity, they could've put the drugs away and not taken shortcuts to get their physiques.

I think you've pushed schmoeing beyond the boundaries of good taste.

If you really look good, hit the stage.

If you do not look good do not hit the stage.

No matter what the age.

It's not good enough to "look good for your age".

That's like saying "For a fat girl you don't sweat much."

Excellent advice. I look great for my age and there is no chance in hell I'll be wearing a thong on the competition stage any time soon.  ;)

Exactly. But that is entirely the fault of the promoters or whoever decides who steps on stage. You can be 27 years old but if you look like shit you just diminish the whole credibility and integrity of the show. If guys like Dallas are so delusional and think they can get on stage looking not only bad, but downright gross, then maybe a little brutal honesty is in order. It's just embarrassing and awkward for any halfway normal people to have to sit through that. Maybe he's doing it as a goof or joke but it's not funny. It's just gross.

There not doing it as a goof. They are doing it because they are delusional. The physique they see in the bathroom mirror is not the body others see.

Don’t know who this guy is or how old, but he looks good.  But again, this is just his upper body.  We don’t know what his legs look like.

the IFBB cancelled there over 60 and over 65 Categories. so + 55 is now the oldest Category (national and international). About 3 years ago the winner at the ifbb-Seniors over 65 Category (aged 72) Esmat Sadek from Egypt died 2-3 weeks after his 1st place. He was a teacher in Cairo, and well educated Person. The Sport he loved, caused his early death....but he was not the only one of the old Bodybuilders with serious health Problems. So Competing at a certain Level over 60 or 70 is a gamble with life.

Wow, I never knew Sadek passed away. I remember him from competing in all those Mr. Universe contests.

Actually, isn't this the guy who makes himself up to look old and shocks the young guys with his lifting feats?
