I’d say it died when the judges started awarding trophies to those with gh/insulin guts. Going on stage looking 3-4 months pregnant should not be awarded

Nah it started when Arnold was awarded the 1980 Mr O. I believe Arnold & Promoter Paul Graham were more than just friends  :-\

Those guys were soooo much better back in the "golden era" - I only ask myself in terms of what (size, fullness, density, volume, cuts....??? )?  :D

Yeah Buddy here's that ' fullness ' you're talking about

Being honest Wes, would you if you were a young man in this time take all the Goodies too? I bet you would.

Exactly. These old farts with their nostalgia good old days yearnings. Name one thing that is not better. I can just look around my house and see just how much better and cheaper (adjusted for inflation) things are. My refrigerator, TV, car. washer/dryer, computer, stationary bike. I would literally not be able to train properly without the advances in equipment today. There are just some movements I can no longer do using just free weights. I just have an average midrange automobile but the shit it has. The gas mileage it  gets. The amenities. How they are able to get much more horsepower out of a smaller more fuel efficient engine with fuel injectors and turbos. The safety features with camera and sensors where you have to be a complete idiot to ding your car in a parking garage. My tankless water heater never runs out of hot water no matter how many people are visiting and taking a shower one after another while I have the washer going set on hot.

I have a friend who says that he's going to live off the grid in a few years. Just build a cabin and live off the land. Hunt, fish, grow his own vegetables. So f-ing clueless. Just wait until he realized that clean running water doesn't just come out of nowhere and when winter and the snow hits he's done.

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 grandpa unfortunately is dead. Died from the flu. My Dad laughed. He wanted to know how old you were. He said the working conditions in his day, with the candy-ass protections they have now would kill you.

Most who move off the grid move back on really fast.

are movies better?  music? sitcoms?  i can't imagine anybody thinking those are better today

sports were about sports, now it's all political

i would argue the majority of people used to look better too as this nation is more fat and tattooed than ever

video games are definitely better today than the 80's or 90's

How far back do you want to go with regard to movies and music? We weren't talking about culture/behavior issues. Next time you're in a hospital compare what you can get now to what you could get 30 years ago.

Right about when they want to take a crap in a toilet after getting diarrhea from drinking polluted water.

Of course, nobody has any pics of Coleman, when he looked like this:

For those who prefer video, here's Ronnie Coleman, guest posing in a Hong Kong bodybuilding contest, shortly after he won his class at the IFBB 1991 Mr. Universe (there was no overall that year; but, he's called Mr. Universe anyway).

For sure technology and medicine is definitely going to be better, can argue that. Culture/movies, “way of life” debatable, especially for older folks but I’d say I love the music and movies back then better, culture too.

You would argue that because you're old, let me guess people looked the best right around the time you were what 18-29?
