@@berserko2008 So social media somehow plays a factor into how hard they train? I hate all those apps too but come on; how does that even relate? The day when a bodybuilder decides to put even just 95% of their effort in is the year they give up on running for Mr. Olympia- no matter the generation or what apps they didn't/do have.

I mean if you weren't there or into the sport and knew how sh%t was back then, you shouldn't even be trying to retort back anything with no ground to stand on....... you had to be really, really, I MEAN BADASS back then to get the notoriety of the magazines and the coverage that so easily obtained from these outlets........

He shot synthol in his arms towards the end of his career. And do you think at least 90% of top guys don’t inject synthol? It’s just that Flex had the balls to admit that he did it. In 1993 he possessed the most aesthetic physique in the history of humanity for fuck’s sakes. Shouldn’t you worship that? The guy had some crazy ass genetics. At 230 pounds he had a 27 inch waist and 31 inch thighs. That’s some crazy shit.

The 80's and 90's were the pinnacle of bodybuilding because of the fact that they had no form of social media and ran off bodybuilding magazines. People who wanted to start weight training found out about it through the bodybuilding magazines. Nowadays everyone takes gear and thinks they can become a bodybuilder. the 80's and 90's were the cream of the crop, bodybuilding was such an isolated sport back then thats why amazing physiques were produced

He basically said the same thing, that those guys wouldn't place in the 90s but on the other side he also said (not exactly these words but still) "ok, but if I compare myself to them I've to say Dexter and Brandon have an Olympia title, something I don't have" and this is a great humble phrase to pronounce, especially coming from THE uncrowned Olympia champ

The reason Rhoden would beat Flex would be because of better Symmetry of muscle proportions but flex would then win if Rhoden fails to come in fully sharp. today they don't look like they been dieting or starving like the older Ronnie days :D. And Phil Heath prime still looks better than flex in my opinion again because of the symmetry and muscle proportions.
