Awesome shot of Berry DeMay

[dunkin donuts]

Hadi is soft.

Yates 1992 vs Hadi 2022

hadi's lower traps are more symmetrical and dorian looked more defined because mostly lighting

I'll ask for the 100th time. Can someone tell me how current bb's are so water balloon smoth in their upper bodies yet have striated glutes and peeled hamstrings? Yet Berry is like a human anatomy chart in his upper body and smoother lower body

ya, that is anomalous.  guys now have thicker skin on their necks than their glutes.  bizarre.

i agree back in the day guys were absolutely peeled except the glutes.  fortunately they were covered then,
as they should still be now imho.   

right when the trunks started getting yanked up the crack they started adding glitter and shit to the
material. it was a DQ back in the day if you directed attention to your glutes.
also DQd if your trunks were not a solid color

definitely a turn for the worse as far as the sport goes.

At this point they should just compete wearing a cock sock.

It's mostly genetics where a particular bodybuilder holds fat and water, there's some bit of training involved also like to get the hamstrings and glutes dense and striated.  Also, there is a certain truth to wherever you store fat first, you lose it last, so if you store more in the glute/hamstring area easily you may need to get your bodyfat so low to get those shredded glutes that you may sacrifice too much size overall to get that shredded look there.

They should, or as I’ve said in the past, should just compete fully nude and judged accordingly

Sure, but almost all the bodybuilders nowadays have the watery backs with shredded legs.  I don’t think it’s genetics

My guess is the drug regimens along with the diet.  I’d expect it to be the massive amounts of insulin for more size and the high amounts of carbs to counteract the insulin… but let’s be real, they were probably megadosing slin in the 90s too. So who knows

As a teenager I really strived for that look. V taper, thighs just a shade over sized, lean abs, arms weren't the best but his triceps were massive.  Just a really cool , sleek, anesthetic look but also more powerful than a Zane type.

I've confessed on here more than once that that gheyish B&W picture of DeMey with a towel round his neck was stuck on my fridge the first time I did a competition diet (oh brother)

Can't find it right now, but here's a different one from a DeMey fanboi (me)  All Winstrol and fresh pineapple instead of drinking actual water (+diuretics obv LOL)

I have no clue but my guess would be over reliance on drugs with less disciplined diet.

That or beginning stages of organ failure.

[dunkin donuts]

one picture was sufficient, the thread lost steam after repetitive pictures took away from the awe and introduced the mental image of the one dimensional life of a bodybuilder, always hitting the same angles, same poses, like a drone

That's pretty funny. Having been exposed to bodybuilding from a young age- cause my dad had an okd weight set and used to do a little bodybuilding himself- I never ever looked at a picture like that (I know the one you're talking about with the towel) and thought "fuck that looks gay!" I always thought 'I want to look like that'.....but Id have my girlfriend over, or friends or relatives would stop by and they'd see the magazines lying around and they'd just raise their eyebrows and look at me like 'dude wtf is going on with you?'

I had a work cubicle that was plastered with pictures of car's,  girls in bikinis,  boxing pictures and I had one pic of Sergio Olivia doing his victory pose. Every week or so Id come in and only that picture would be taken down. So I'd put it back up. This repeated a few times . Then one day it was torn apart in the waste basket. I asked who the hell has been fucking with my cubicle? A guy who was my buddy admitted to throwing the picture away. I asked why he gave a shit and he said 'dude, it looks gay as fuck. I don't think you realize how gay it looks.'

Did the guy who threw it away ever come out of the closet?

Funny you say that. No but the last time I saw him he was juiced to the gills.

LOL.  HR back in the late 90's made me take a pic of Dorian down.

It's fucking weird. 

Today there are lots of bodybuilders who have shredded glutes and fat, puffy faces.  From the neck up, some of these guys look like obese alcoholics.
