LMAO @ bitter old farts whining about how BB "peaked" in the 70s and 80s !!

[IroNat]

And why isn't that an 18" arm?

18" for sure.  Colbert claimed 20" arms.

There's lots of fat guys with 20+" arms.  There's fat women with 20" arms.

[Dokey111]

it's not just bb. most of these old out of touch fucks here whine about how everything was better in their hayday

What's better about today?

silence..............

What's better about today?

What is better about a bodybuilder, any era, over an ordinary man who doesn't lift weights? Is a Dianabol enhanced body superior to a completely pharmaceutical free body? I mean even the drug haters here seem to think so. Some drugs are good. However you will find many in the general public who think a drug enhanced body is always inferior, inauthentic and disgusting.

[Thin Lizzy]

I wouldn’t say it’s restricted to bodybuilding, but a fit healthy person is generally going to have a better quality of daily life than a fat out of shape one.

What's better about today?

Very few things in my opinion. The things that come to mind are the ease of streaming music, communication, and GPS. Maybe throw in 3D printing as well.

Colbert's 20" arms came, according to him, after he stopped competing due to a motorcycle accident. His arm measurements were 19" when was competing.

Colbert's arms were anything but fat, in his prime.

   But I wouldn’t call a determined body builder “healthy”. Lifting heavy assed weights alone is not a measure of health

ask your dad if he feels things were better in his day, ask your grandpa if things were better in his day. I bet they both say yes,

[Humble Narcissist]

I also prefer the Larry Scott physique.  Walking around with those arms would be very gratifying.

[Thin Lizzy]

ask your dad if he feels things were better in his day, ask your grandpa if things were better in his day. I bet they both say yes,

My answer would be yes and no. It was definitely more fun and wilder when I was coming up in the eighties but today’s technology shits all over what we had back then.

no it's not, even in the middle of the pandemic I get daily invites to crazy "wild shit," it's just not available to you because no ones old people at wild shit, just like no one invited your parents to wild shit in the 80's.

Charlexs 'Chuck" Amato

Chuck Amato managed Matt Dishman Community Center when I worked out there decades ago. He was a super nice guy. At the time Chris Dickerson was training there too. He's another really cool fellow.

At the time, he was still working there as a semi-retired weight lifting instructor.

Bill Pearl wrote a nice article about Chuck on his Facebook page. Link below:

What are exactly are these wild things you get invited to? Have the Gay bathhouses made a triumphant return?


I see the bars in my area. It’s not nearly as wild  as it was back in the day you dummy.

By the way have your buddies in Williamsburg figured out that this Covid thing is working into a giant windfall for big Pharma yet?

Surprised he had him in the top 10 at all.

they did it again the next year and there were some changes.

[monsterman500]

Everyone talks about the Golden era of Bodybuilding but it was always about drugs, schmoes, gay sex films, naked posing. Hell even Arnold posed for schmoes.

Rock Stonewall is a great f*cking name for a muscleman!  It's like being called Butch Deadlift or Dirk Hardpeck 
(BTW, those names - and many more like them - are credit of MST3K and can be found here https://www.rowsdowr.com/2011/04/04/space-mutiny-the-many-names-of-david-ryder-mst3k-video/)

And making his entry at a modest #61 is a young A. Schwarzennegger (sic)  His meteoric rise to World domination begins!

Thanks funk, those lists are very intredasting to a 'bitter old fart' like myself
