Lee Labrada speaks out on the current state of bodybuilding on http://muscleradio.com/past/index.html (http://muscleradio.com/past/index.html). He talks about today's physiques and says the system rewards the wrong things. He feels things are with going backwards since the 1990 Mr. Olympia, "Bloated, Blocky and out of proportion no relevance to symmetry."
Lee also speaks on his first Olympia competition, what it was like being 26 and winning his pro debut, flawed judging and much, much more.

Finally a great pro with a sense of reason that is 1000% correct!

I did not listen to all of the shows, but the one's I checked out were a far cry from Dan and Bob's show over at BB.com.
The Beef is not impressed.

No the early 90's is about right...
-
He's right on the money !!
-
What does he know about bodybuilding? :P
Synthol :P
-
Lee Labarda? You mean ze french bodybuilder Leon La Barda???
-
Kind of. There are a lot of bloated, blocky, out-of-balance physiques out there, but I really don't see them winning many top shows. So far this year it's been Phil Heath twice (with Darrem Charles in 2nd both times), Dexter Jackson, Ronnie Rockel, Gustavo Badell and Lee Priest. Badell can be bloated and Priest doesn't have the best balance, but they're not really bad offenders.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong... but smaller guys are winning shows outside the O. I'm assuming he'd have Richard Jones take down Ronnie. Where did he get 1990? Wouldnt that fall under Haney's reign?
How in the hell is Ron suppose to lose the O b/c of some bloat but he kills the rest of the dogs in other categories? Based on the photo.... he isnt anything close to being blocky, and he has nice sweep to his thighs. Ladarda's flaw was 5"2". It is still bbing... which means to build muscle.

Listen to the show and you'll hear his answers to all the questions you asked. He states 1990 because that was the year they drug tested and then revoked it after that. He considers Haney one of not the best of all time. He also states that the smallery guys today are trying to build mass to catch up to the others, which he feels is a mistake and points the finger at the judging and the drugs.

lebrada had a great build imo,good mass with great balance and flow,his shakes are great to,peanut butter chocolate ;)

I would rather see the physiques of the 80's. But you cannot stop progress.
Its like drag racing. You can watch the street legals which are within reason for us. Or you can watch the top fuel nitros and alcohol dragsters.
Thats why i think there should be weight classes in bodybuilding.
Lumping a 13 second car with a 3.9second dragster is no good for anyone.

IMO, taking more gear and training less is not progress....it's taking a step backwords. Todays "pro's" train half as much as they used too compared to that of the 70's, 80's and early 90's!!

I liked this quote so much that I'm now looking for excuses to work it into everyday conversation.
Labrada was the shit, man - a proto-Shawn Ray.
I heard a rumor he's in the supplement business now. ;)

go labrada, and tell em the truth

Poor little Lee. He harkens back to the day of lil guys with oversized moustaches. hahahaha

AHAHAAH!!! Exactly!
Lee was nicknamed "Mass with Class" and I always wondered what made him so fuckin classy?
It was the 80s Selleck stache

That muscleradio show is putting me to sleep.
People always advocate their own position. If it was all about 220 guys who are symmetrical, 280 guys would be saying how those guys look like swimmers, and are totally undeveloped, etc.

YES, I always wondered what made him classy, and you just nailed it. hahaha
