Drugs can make you huge, muscular, and strong but to win top bodybuilding contests you need good aesthetics (structure, proper muscle attachments, discipline for training and diet, etc.)
Ronnie got away with a lot of the dieting cause of genetics and drugs
Prior to 98, what do you think he did different to win the O in 98? Yep, he admitted he contacted flex wheeler and Kevin, and they told him the secret “cocktails” came straight from his mouth
Branch won multiple Arnold classics, and finished runner up at the O, yes “hard work” he was also genetically “inferior” compared to others
Bottom line you don’t need structure, muscle attachments and all that you named to win shows and be a top pro, depends on judging and criteria also to an extent
In the end genetics + drugs, then the rest follows
Look how pros train, no secret, from Levrone, dexter, Ronnie, etc.....
