    I'm always going to count Arnolds physique as being exquisite, and when you compare to how modern bodybuilders look you can see why. Arnolds physique looked like Greek statue like one of Hercules, or a superhero like superman or batman.
    Modern bodybuilders look like something darkseid shit out.

    For me, everything from Dorian Yates onwards is when bodybuilding took a nose dive in an aesthetic sense. Before him, bodybuilders looked so much more natural (even though they weren't) compared to the ones after him. They looked like sculptures/statues of the peak human form created by skilled artists. After Yates, it became a mass monster competition.

      By todays standards, he wasn't far off tbh. Way more limited variety of Anabolic drugs, coupled with a mentality still focused on pushing the envelope in terms of training, diet etc. Nowadays, everyone knows the best way to build muscles, everyone has a 90% identical diet to each other, so other than genetics the only way to keep pushing the limits of the human body is via utilising the most cutting edge drugs. Obviously it's not all down to drugs, I mean I'll never come close to having that level of body, even if you gave me the biggest doses of the best drugs available to man. Genetics + Training + Diet + Drugs, you need every one almost perfect to get to the level of champ.

You can't just walk into it and become a body builder within the first few years, that doesn't happen. You have to stick with it, lifting and working that body to it's fullest potential. Some don't succeed, even after 20 years and that's mostly brought on by genetics.

      If you felt less flexible, it's because you didn't stretch before and after each work out. Getting muscle bound is real, but it's not just because you gain muscle. Contracting the muscles shortens them, stretching them lengthens them. Some bodybuilders can do a full split on stage.

    The shot of jays quad stomp has to be one of the most iconic moments in modern bodybuilding.

    Serge Nubret was perfect imo. The pursuit of being a sheer mass monster has completely altered the doses that athletes are taking and it’s left us with the era of muscle belly O’s.

    I was a young American Airforce kid stationed Near Oxford England & would train at gyms in different cities & sell Crazyware American workout clothes to the Brits... This was in 1988-1990... I watched Dorian Yates come from a humble gym in Birmingham... I got to my Base weighing 142 at 6' tall... I left weighing 238... That was an amazing time to witness, Dorian was the Beast from the East...

    The physiques were so much more aesthetic in the 80s. These were bodies your average man actually dreamed of having instead of what we have today

    I quit lifting when I was told you can't be that big unless you take drugs. Great video.
