That's the whole thing. Bodybuilding use to be about strength and health. Reeves use to run a mile in 5 minutes according to him and that's incredibly fast for a guy his size. Olympic lifters have great vertical leaps and when tested in sprinting sometime around the 1968 Olympics they were found to be really fast athletes. What power lifter can dunk or sprint? Very few. That's the whole thing with today's drug scene. They are not healthy or athletic. Remember ABC's Super star competition? Big Lou did amazing in the preliminary. In bowling, baseball hitting, half mile run, boat rowing, power jerk, and other activities he beat or hung with the best athletes of the day. In the final he had a really off day. Mike Mentzer on the other hand did terrible. I remember Mike in the 100 yard dash. Incredibly slow.
This thread is about whether it is better to look normal in a shirt and incredibly ripped when removing it versus looking jacked in a shirt, the material straining to contain powerful muscles. It is not about aerobics, 50 yard dash, marathons, ballet, or anything else. Let's keep it focused.
