223lbs this morning when I woke up after using the restroom considering I am doing cardio and not pushing food or fluids that is pretty solid for me

Bigger than Flex Wheeler in his hey day! Amazing.

With all due respect to him he won that title in the weakest Olympia line up ever.

It wasn't his fault that the 7-time champ was out with injury, the defending champ was barred because of a rape charge, and a future champ had marital issues (got a 2nd wife without informing the first one).

I don't follow bodybuilding much anymore, more into strength training, strongman/powerlifting/arm wrestling/fighting, what's the point in injecting your ass to have enormous muscles if you are a weak

I won't disrespect the guys of today it's just not for me, classic is a great look, open is too much there is no resemblance of the symmetry and shape of Arnold, Haney, wheeler, Yates 93 etc, they are huge guys with more muscle than ever I just don't like the way they carry it, but I do appreciate like many things in 2024 things are different whether they are better or worse depends on the person, I would never look at any of those top guys and want to join a gym, like I did when I first saw Arnold Haney etc.

Great Post.. 👍
Yeah it was Steve Reeves who started me training after seeing his films as a kid.
Never look at the Bodybuilders nowadays.
Still like the old Vintage trainers

the top guys are structurally flawed, but you have to admit the top guys today are shredded and they don't have guts like they used to

we all like the 90's but big bellies became the norm then, they aren't the norm now
