Probably been posted before but you don’t see back striations like this anymore.  DeMey was very underrated

Fantastic physique!!

Without question.

The fact he didn't win more often shows how stacked the line ups were back then.

[Fortress]

Was a fan of the dude.

[IroNat]

He looked good awesome.

Staying in the great shape year around.

He looks good but whether he's healthy is unknown.

Doesn’t strike me like a guy who’s having health issues,but who knows.
Great to see guys like him Gaspari,Labrada,Benfatto,Strydom ,Vince Taylor, etc etc to keep grinding.

Your equating muscles with health.

Those guy's internals are f*cked.

Their gonads are shot so they need artificial test.

It's very likely they have multiple health issues from their past drug abuse.

Still haven't had anyone answer something for me. He was insanely shredded from the waist up. Yes, you don't see modern pros looking like that. From the waist down though, modern pros smoke him. Shredded glutes and carved out hamstrings that nobody had in the 80's. Or 90's for that matter. Why? What are modern guys doing to get like that from the waist down?

Drugs.  Don't be naiive.

I don’t disagree .However they could live productive life another 20 years well into their 80’s.
If you ask me about today’s guys like let’s say Walker that would be different answer.

They were on drugs back then. Yes, it's drugs. That's a stock response because you don't really know.  Which is fine but I'm curious if someone really knows

How do you think these guys achieve such low bodyfat levels?

They diet and use drugs.

Do you think there is magic they use?

The drugs they use today are not the same as in Arnold's time or 30 years ago.

Serge Nubret used specific drugs to achieve his great definition in the 70s.

Also today they train their legs differently to enhance certain muscles in the legs.

They do a lot more of specific exercises to train the leg biceps and glutes becuase the judges look for it.

Also, because the judges want to see these types of physiques, those contestants who have those attributes will advance through the ranks to the top contests.

If the judges wanted to see contestants with hair then you'd see guys wearing wigs. or getting hair transplants.

Perfectly stated, my friend.   This...What he has said is the plain and simple truth of today's bodybuilding.  Now more than ever it is about drugs and surviving them long enough to flaunt the results.  Simple.

That was 88 Mr. Olympia he actually looks better a few weeks before the actual show. He was a little smaller and stringy are looking shredded but not like those pics shown. He actually had his best physique overall was WBF 91

It was such a bad week to be a dem that lurker started posting about bodybuilding.

Leg muscles in 2024 are the same as they were in the 1990s
They even do the same leg excercises as in the 1990s.
Difference is DRUGS.

Hence the grotesque shape of "pro's" in the past decades.
De Mey, Liedelmayer, Paris and Mendenhall looked 100x times better.

Damn - great pics man. I have never seen pics of him that shredded. God I know I am asshole for doing this and probably deserve to have my ass kicked for it.

But - BRIAN!!! Here boy…. THIS is what being in shape looks like

[BEEFCAKE]

great hair

Why did he retire so early? It seems he went from great to dropping off the map overnight.
