The 90's were the end of aesthetics, and the beginning of the mass movement. Dorian screwed those guys. I liked Dorian as a person, but I think Shawn and Kevin had better builds.
I agree, I am guessing it is permanent. Would they just place people like Phil and Kai out of the top ten all of the sudden? I am guessing not. That being said, Greene is pushing 40, and Heath can't stay on much longer. Maybe the younger guys with a small waist can rise up by default.
Awesome post and I couldn't of said it any better then Arnold did. He hit the nail on the head and now hopefully ppl will listen and make the changes he is calling for... This is far different from when Arnold and all the other legends competed so lets see the changes made..
There's a guy in my gym that usually wears long sleeves and track pants to work out in. I knew he was muscular, but it was obvious that he had a gut. I figured he used to body build or was an old power lifter that had just gotten a bit fat. One day he came in with a tank top and lifted up his shirt and he was cut as hell, but he had a huge bubble gut. It was quite shocking.
I feel like this could be the start of arnolds own league. he already has contests on almost every continent At this point. his morality leaves alot to be desired, but the man is highly intelligent and calculated, so it wouldnt surprise me if this was the beginning of something.
I dunno man, did u see the pumping iron reunion? He acted supprised everyone was still so big and in shape, he looked like death compared to everyone els, shell of his former self (see beach vacation photos) hes rite about a Slin / hgh abuse tho
I'm in total agreement with this! Why was the Golden Era labeled as such! IMHO because of the consistently great quality physiques that emerged! I've always loved a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing physique! It's about quality not quantity!
I recently stated, when was the last time anyone saw an abdominal vacuum pose!
They should implement that as a mandatory pose! The judges have the last say and this will dictate what they require of competitors in future competitions! Changes should be made! That being said, I'll always hold this sport dear to my heart!
Arnold was born after the end of WWII. How can people label him a nazi etc? My dad is a total dickhead, and has no bearing on my life. Not fair to label a person due to their father.
You've made your points, now please stop. You've hijacked this thread for your own purposes. Feel free to spout your conspiracy theories in a thread of your own making. The rest of us would like to stay on point here.
Arnold is correct and It's nice to hear someone with power say it. The bubble gut needs to end.
Even though it was the 80's when I got interested in bodybuilding, it was the likes of Arnold, Franco, Mike Mentzer, Lou Ferrigno that I wanted to be like & for me that time/era had the best physiques. Not that I'm saying they're better than the people who followed, it's just my preference .
Arnold should've just called out every pro bodybuilder for extreme GH/Slin abuse...he knows what that gut is from. It sounds good but unfortunately for him and the judges is that its the evolution of bodybuilding. Non atheistic monsters of the modern sport is what it is and will be.
It will only evolve to even bigger competitors.
"The SA was the first Nazi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. The SA ranks were adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief amongst them the Schutzstaffel (SS), itself originally a branch of the SA. SA men were often called "brownshirts" for the colour of their uniforms (similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts). Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them were cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered during the war for colonial troops posted to Germany's former African colonies."
You are misrepresenting history here. Why don't you do some real homework on Hilter, the NSDAP (NAZI) and the SA. Claiming he was a SS officer when during that whole time he was a police chief in Austria is very far fetched. There was a difference between the SS and the SA (he applied to join the SA but was never accepted) and if you did any research you would know Hitler half wiped out the SA because he felt they were getting too powerful.
Also there was a difference between the civilian political party and the military party. I am not protecting Hitler or Nazi's but at least represent the facts and the history in full detail. Your allegations were specious at best!
I know, thats why i added USA today Daily Mail ect.
They grew out of the National Socialist German Workers Party. The party's leader Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of germany by president Paul von Hindenburg the 25 point program outlines the agenda of the Nazis. Initially the Nazi political strategy focused on anti big business, anti bourgeois and anti capitalist rhetoric
Hahahha are referring to the time he injected 5 boxes of synthol into his arms before a competition because he heard thats what flex wheeler did? Lmfao
Reg Park...One of my favorites all time. Amazing physique without all the drugs we use today.
Also Bob Paris, I think he is all time favorite.

Nice! I think someone already said it on here, that should be a mandatory pose.
I really like Cedric.
One of the best ever...Levrone:
The best, undoubtedly. Can't get over the fact that he does not have a single Olympia title. When I started bodybuilding his physique was my goal
X2

I don't know if most of them could rid themselves of their gut now, they may of got to the point of no return.
If this is to be the next new thing, I think it'll take a few years to get to a point of it being normal. Here's hoping! Time will tell....

I've always thought that once you get so big that you look fat with clothes on, youve gone too far.

Arnold Schwarzenegger criticize: http://youtu.be/pnpt7han0SE
This was from the arnold classic/LA Fit expo
I feel like this could be the start of arnolds own league. he already has contests on almost every continent At this point. his morality leaves alot to be desired, but the man is highly intelligent and calculated, so it wouldnt surprise me if this was the beginning of something.
At his age do you really think he has it in him? He seems to he more into politics as his main endeavor, the bodybuilding is fun time for him
I think so. I believe that would firmly cement his legacy at This point. think about it, what bodybuilder isnt going to return arnolds phone call lol
I dunno man, did u see the pumping iron reunion? He acted supprised everyone was still so big and in shape, he looked like death compared to everyone els, shell of his former self (see beach vacation photos) hes rite about a Slin / hgh abuse tho
Great post !! It's true the gh/slin belly is not attractive what's so ever the judges need to be changed..

Censored. This has nothing to do with this thread.

Say it again..
Meant to say SA*
StevebWhat is that?

Where are you getting this shit from?

None of that changes the fact he was or wanted to be a Nazi, his ideals and political affiliation is clear, like father like son
StevebIt's impossible to be Nazi if you were born after WW2 ended. You can be a Neo Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer which he is.
So what was the political agenda of the Nazi party? And Wikipedia does not qualify as a source for truth or fact. Nothing there is fact checked.
I know, thats why i added USA today Daily Mail ect.

Maybe, but his 9/11 ones are spot on! ;-)
I mean I don't think he could of said any better, v shape versus bottle.....
They should deduct points our just not place people with the descending gut that sticks out farther than your chest and the issue would correct itself
Here's a good example:
POLITICS IN BODYBUILDING - UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE : https://youtu.be/BTylopce59o
StevebRich Piana looks like shit
He lost credibility when he started injecting dogshit into his arms.
Hahahha are referring to the time he injected 5 boxes of synthol into his arms before a competition because he heard thats what flex wheeler did? Lmfao
Ha. And he was rumored to have pmma injections. Ever notice he doesnt even have a horseshoe at his tricep?
The 90's were the pinnacle of the sport. Gone dowmhill ever since.
I saw that at the last arnold classic/ LA fit expo, he called them out on stage after the show, jerry ward was commenting on it, about time
