Bodybuilding – Yesterday and Now

A little series of photos comparing the “classical” bodybuilders to the bodybuilders of today.

Music* and bodybuilder’s names are given at the end of the video.

* Had to add a song from the youtube library because my music was disabled due to copyright issues. So the song names at the end are for no use anymore. Song by Dozer – “Big Sky Theory”*

    Franco columbo’s upper chest development still puts 99% of todays bodybuilders to shame. Him and arnold look phenomonal

    I agree with you, i wouldnt like to do it either, but that’s the nature of the sport, looking like a “circus sideshow”. It’s either kill the sport or continue going on how it is . If an extra “dose” increases your performance by 1%, resulting in victory, then most athletes at that level will take it. Every sport evolves, it’s just unfortunate maybe that evolution in body-building results in guys looking like the ones you described.

    Yeah, but at what cost? I cant see spending ten’s of thousands (maybe 100′s of thousands for some, over time?) and slowly killing yourself to look like a circus side show?

    like Arnold used to say The “pump” is like an ! The pain in bodybuilding is great and it shows you that you are alive and you will get bigger! Keep going and get bigger faster Stronger!

    Pain doesn’t have …
    Pain doesn’t have to be a negative term. People interpret it differently. There are people who are unable to do your workouts because its too difficult or too “painfull”. For people like you, pain means progress, progress is pleasure, that’s motivation to continue. Others feel the pain as a signal to stop….

    I dont know if stupid is the right word, they definately look out of place when they are around “normal” people but they serve their purpose on stage.That purpose is winning points in competition..

    why Pain? I enjoy it, I would call it pleasure, not pain, there’s no pain

    The guys of Arnie’d day looked good…today they just look stupid…

    I love Arnie too, but if you think he only took juice to cut up and never to gain mass…you are off your rocker!!!

    arnold was the greatest ever. hands down. best chest, arms, back, shoulders, legs.. he had it all.. yes he took steroids when they were legal. but only to cut up. not gain mass. compared to the body builders of today.. who over do it to the max. Arnold is the don of bodybuilding

    That is not human evolution. It’s the evolution of drugs and who is willing to eat the most of them.

    I would prefer them to get down to smaller waists but then it’s not exciting.That “wow factor” is kind of lost. I would prefer Jackson to win again this year. He has a more overall physique in my book.

    One of the reasons coleman looks so good is because of his age, he has dense full muscles and the maturity comes with age.

    arnie and franco were far more aesthetic than those bovine drug guys.
