>all those stupid faggots who ruin their bodies for life with roids, GH, insulin etc just to look like complete shit
Modern bodybuilders make me puke.
What about bodybuilders from the 70s and early 80s?

Glorious.
>>35297243
Apparently their organs started to grow so much they look pregnant.
I honestly can't imagine anyone looking at those gorss freaks and thinking "I want a body like that!"
I don't see how any kid will look at that shit and get inspired to lift.
>people will go gay for pay to afford shit that'll cripple them by 40 to look like this
I just wanna look like the buff dudes
>>35297270
Has anyone more aesthetic than Serge ever lived?
>>35298211
Yes, his name is Peter.
>>35298270
That's some mighty fine pec striation.

Essentially perfection.
overroided gorilla looking dudes who are really in the contest of who can paint themselves darker are retarded though
Agreed. 70's was the best
Look at someone like Frank Zane. Fucking beautiful physique, perfect proportion.
it still pays to get huge if you have the right genetics to look good
those guys make money
This is just one single event, outside sponsorships and everything

Not really. Especially not compared to what it costs to compete.
>>35297425
Ok I don't know a whole hell of a lot about roids or HGH and the history of it so feel free to tell me if I'm off base.
Seems like the old school body builders only used roids so they didn't get shit like muscle belly that you see with modern body builders. Is this right? All we have to do is just take regular roids and no HGH to get back to the golden age of aesthetics body building?
>>35300292
see >>35300289
I don't think it costs a lot to compete, they just use mexican veterinary test, etc.
>>35297425
>>35297402
If you think you can't reverse that, you're a fucking faggot.
>>35300310
>>35300308
The sheer amount of drugs involved makes it pretty damn expensive, especially when you aren't willing to use UGL gear because one bunk dose fucks your entire contest prep.
Basically everyone below Rhoden would have lost money that year, unless they had someone bankrolling them.
>>35300317
Gifted retards will end up looking like shit at middle age, no matter what their sport of choice is.
You can go full on pregnant cow and still be healthy at 50+ if you're not a dumbass.
>>35298064
Those dudes are buffed, but their jeans are wet :(
>>35297203
those Olympia guys are quite big men!
I actually want to use steroids to stay hormonally young.
I do not care about paying it with just ten years.
Beats every manopause I can get.
>>35300326
> The sheer amount of drugs involved makes it pretty damn expensive
what differentiates them is that they're willing to put in the many hours of work every day (and yes, good genetics)
drugs are pretty cheap.
>>35297402
>I don't see how any kid will look at that shit and get inspired to lift.
They don't. Bodybuilding's fanbase is on the decline every year. Physique is the thing that really draws the money now; there's only just barely enough money in bbing for the top few people to do well, while the rest scrounge for scraps on freaky fringes like obscure fetish g4p gigs.
best pose ever
>>35300353
Not in the variety and amounts pro BBers need.
>>35300326
>Basically everyone below Rhoden would have lost money that year, unless they had someone bankrolling them.
they have many events in many cities in many countries, advertise, get sponsorships, get free stuff and even money just for showing up, etc etc
>>35300358
damn, wonder how many hours he spent in front of a mirror to perfect that
>>35300405
they actually use less than your average dumbass roider, because they know they have to keep it up for years and do a lot of hard work to build that physique. and again, roids are cheap. they make them from wild yam, for fuck's sake.
>>35300415
Aside from the Olympia, most of those contests pay jack shit (seriously, below the big national comps you're likely to be in the hole just on the cost of your contest prep). Sponsorship is also pretty negligible for anyone outside the top couple.
>>35300415
Kai didn't fuck that grapefruit just for fun m8. The pay is peanuts pretty much right up until the moment where you start getting officially considered a serious contender for the Olympia title.
>>35300464
I don't know what the fuck he did there but it was gross
>>35300300
It seems to come from insulin abuse more than HGH, guys pin enormous amounts of insulin these days.
>>35300353
There are plenty of BBers sucking dick for HGH money m8
>>35300487
maybe if they're old, fucked up and still have dreams and think HGH will be their savior (it won't)
>>35298064
>dat fucking jawline
He could be a skinnyfat and would still be an 8/10
>>35300501
You don't even get your pro card without being on some HGH.
>>35300532
it's a relatively new invention, you'll be surprised but young people produce enough naturally
all they need is a moderate amount of test and 2-3 hours-long workouts every fucking day (that's the hard part)
>>35300554
>>35300300
GH promotes growth
Whst gh mainly does its that it makes you shredded even when youre shovelling 10kcal + 300 gramscprotons
Insulin also promotes growth
However, combine those two together and you get the turtleshell
>>35300574
seriously, just compare the ages of the current contenders.
Arnold became Mr Olympia at 23, Kai is 40 years old. he would be old in every sport and pro BB is a very tough sport, requiring insane amounts of work.
>>35300601
>just compare the ages of the current contenders
This isn't even an argument, Coleman started winning the Mr. O in his 30s.
>>35300647
the argument is that a 40 year old would need HGH and god knows what else to be able to work on that level and build and maintain muscle mass.
inb4 you argue that they're bigger, Arnold was approached by a movie producer who told him to lose almost all of his gains to be in his shitty movie.
>>35300554
HGH has been in use longer than basically any anabolic barring unestered testosterone. Even Arnold used it.
>>35300712
I"m sure Arnold gets some now as part of his complex life extension treatment.
source that he was using it in the 70's?
>>35300712
Only cadaver GH was available at the time, and using it carried a risk of death. He might have used it but it was not common until the 90s.
>>35297203
/fit/'s standards and those of BBers are fucked in the head. Anyone who thinks otherwise is full homo
>>35300353
You have no idea how much GH and insulin costs
>>35300601
>pro BB is a very tough sport, requiring insane amounts of work
This. It's like the old saying goes, "Leave no grapefruit unfucked."
>>35300601
>>35297402

I'm aware that roids are insanely common in Hollywood and they have an entire high-end roid clinic industry catering to them. And people get on and off depending on a particular acting job, etc.
>>35300452
>top tier bodybuilder use less steroids than your average roider
there's not a picture good enough for all the keks
>>35301330
it's true, they know they need to be a few years on roids
the average roider is a moron who burns the candle from both ends ... with blowtorches
>>35297226
zane waz za bezt
Is there any money in bodybuilding?
>there are people on /fit/ that don't want this physique
>>35301412
you have no fucking clue what you're talking about
your average fucking roider doesn't do 1000mg of test-e & 500mg of tren a week with a daily dose of 50mg of dbol with bunch of other shit including GH and insulin on their average cycle
>>35301452
read the thread, you retard
only guys like this have to do most of that stuff, and they still look like shit because it doesn't work >>35301449
