No it wasn't, back then we trained and we trained hard, back then drugs were really the finishing touches and training came first. Not so today. today drugs come first, training second. As far as being gay? Sure there were gay bodybuilders but nothing like it is today as far as I know. But in all fairness, there were no computers, no internet and gossip and opinion boards, obviously, but the ones that were (are) gay kept it to themselves and acted like professionals, a word that can rarely be used in todays industry. I remember going to shows and seeing my favorite pros signing autographs, waring a suit and tie, dressed nicely....like professionals.
you will never get thsoe time again unles disaster of major proprtion hit the world,, and it most likley wont in your life time,,the 70s and 80s is long long time memory that if you were lucky to be adult or even kid in those times you are one of the most fortune humans,,the machinary in the form of computers advanced society but also ruined the world ,,today you take cell phone from girl and the girl is going to mental hospital ,,people actualy runing their BANK ACCOUNTS FROM THEIR CELL PHONE WITH ALL CODES AND EVERYTHIN,,people rely on computer to a point that if something happen they will shoot themselves or stay lost and die,, it is already in the blood like hiv,,it now develped into aids...it eats society ,,and thus bodybuild is nothing different,,who do you think do bodybuild? thsoe same felas who their girlfriend going around with cell phone 24 7 and live her life by it texting every 36 second ,,sorry every 11 seconds ,,cant even sit and eat in restaurant with out the whore texting... same for people not wanting to even deal or call pon the phoen to anyone or forget about going and meeting face to face,,no one does it,,they all do everything from cell or from their lap ....
no one even beat up anyone anymore,,they all own eachother on computers,,back in the 80s you would tak ethe fuckin kid outside and beat him up or fight him ....today if you do it ,,the kid pull a gun or a knife so you cant even go into good ole fight because there wil always be a gun and someone really die....
so what we stay with is SHIT SOCIETY and only major disaster can change it and move back time,,anyother way we go forword...but in reality every forword in the so called modern technological era = step into no where ,,into lonliness and into insanity,,it wil all fal apart you can see it with the american goverment,,it all falls apart,,slowly and safely ,,god forbid if americana ever fall apart this world is over then
