What happened to these guys?

[Smokescreen]

Why do the pro bodybuilders of 10-15 years ago look so much better than the bodybuilders of today?

Saw pictures of this years Mr. O competition and these guys do NOT look as great as what Flex Wheeler and Kevin Levrone looked back years ago. These bodybuilders lacked symetry, definition, striations. They seem bloated and soft.

What's going on? Is it all that UG crap gear? What? They can't find pharm grade gear anymore? LOL!!!!

Because today's bodybuilding is more about shear size than aesthetics. They created Men's physique for the guys that want to look good.

These guys looked smaller to me. No clue what you're talking about.

Shit! Even Jay Cutler didn't look as great as he did back a few years ago.

insulin abuse, judging is different than it was.. what you view as looking better isn't what wins Mr O today. no idea who is right or wrong but if you showed a pic of todays Mr. O to 100 females maybe 2 or 3 would say "wow he is hot".. vs. show a pic of 30 years ago and probably 85% would say they liked.

everyone has different goals.. personally I do this for my own reasons and if someone has a problem with it they can STFU cause I don't care. just like jay cutler has his goals and the skinny marathon runner/swimmer has his goals. it is not me to judge who is right or wrong as long as you work your ass off and respect fitness you are okay in my book

After you go back 10-15, go back another 10-15. Those guys trained for aesthetics rather than just size. You'll never see another Zane, Schwarzenegger or Mentzer.

Not sure what you're talking about, look at their legs alone. This guys now are 3-4 inches shorter and 20-30 pounds heavier than the guys years ago.

Phil Heath - 5'9 250
Jay Cutler - 5'8 260
Ronnie Coleman - 5'11 295

Arnold - 6'2 235
Reeves - 6-1 215

Or do you mean not that far back?

Just a huge disappointment these dudes nowadays. Soft, bloated, lack of striations. Goddamnit! Even Jay Cutler looks like crap! He looked sooooo much better many years ago.

I say its all this crap garbage UG shit we are all forced to use because pharm grade is near impossible to get.

Insulin abuse?! Come on, bro. And there wasn't insulin abuse back 10-20 years ago? Come on.
