I personally have never looked that the sport and though guys where getting too big, I just wonder where it would be today if guys looked more like they did in the pumping iron days. I have showed friends (both male and female) pumping iron and they think the bodies are amazing, the guys want them, the girls would love to meet someone like them. I have also showed the same people current pics, the guy make the comment "I would never want to get that big", well the girls where really turned off. They then look at me like an idiot for working out cause no one would want to look like that (in thier eyes), and of course to the non-gyming all you need to get that big is a few good weeks in the gym. I know the last statement is ridiculous but I have heard it, and although current images in bodybuilding appeal to me, the majority off people have no interest in it, and it reflects poorly on all those who follow it.
