i think the steroid look is only good for some. arnie - perfect structure, muscle bellies, face, etc. same with lee priest, lou ferrigno, and some others. theyre the posterchildren for bbing for a reason. thesedays every man and his dog is vying for that pro spot, and u see alot of ugly physiques and structures simply not traditionally 'perfect' for bbing (ala jay cutlers wide waist and lack of vascularity/striations/detail) but as u say, lift for urself. u do what u can do with what U were given. in the same respect, if u have the option to compete and test urself against others, while gaining a little more notoriety, why not? aslong as the love for bbing is there, it's all good.
