Face it, Schmoey as he was we all owe a tremendous debt to a Jewish man who had a dream to put bodybuilding and weightlifting on the map and carried through and made it happen.
Sure but otoh the whole scene is a den of depravity LOL. And let's not forget Joe started out by putting out gay porn mags, perhaps softcore but still. I even think some title was banned, I forget
Getbiggers don't think too highly of Joe's creation as it stands now.
We can also thank Mr Dianabol, Dr Ziegler, for all the great early bodybuilders.
Later in his life, he was outspoken against its use in sport, saying "It is bad enough to have to deal with drug addicts, but now healthy athletes are putting themselves in the same category. It's a disgrace. Who plays sports for fun anymore?" Ziegler suffered from heart disease, which he partially ascribed to his experimentation with steroids, and he died from heart failure in 1983.
