    What a physique.. I remember when I was a young child I would go the sporting goods section in Modells and I would see Rory Liedelmeyer`s picture on a box of dumbbells and I would just stare in admiration and disbelief at how a human body could get like that..

      Yea, He has a reputation of being a good solid man as of today. He's 60 plus and is still very muscular & looks younger than his age. Here's a link to some of his rarest footage where he may be in his best shape. I receive no money from this. These are just good people & I like supporting their business.. Plus it's only $7.50. When I was a teenager a Bodybuilding DVD would cost $30-40.. gmvbodybuilding.com/bodybuilding-videos/male-bodybuilders/digital-downloads/classic-california-muscle-1-download/

      I wish guys today would actually try to put together an inspiring routine. Kai Greene isn't the style I like a lot but at least he actually puts one together & some are entertaining. Shawn Ray at the 1994 Olympia is an amazing routine. I think it's the same one he used when he won the Nationals in 1987.

      Me too Andy. And because they didn't over use certain compounds he's 61 and still looks in very good shape. They had a contest today & it's obvious they are shooting their delts with site enhancements. Not necessarily Synthol but in the 80's most of the guys had striated delts. Now they have no lines & separation. Haney at 5'11 was 243-250 & now guys 5,7 weigh that. Hopefully, they will go for more shape, separation & detail instead of these very Synthetic looking blown up muscles.

      Yes, It seems like in the US at least people are more reserved towards bodybuilders than they used to be. Check some of those crazy crowds in Pumping Iron.

    Amazing indeed.. I saw glimpses of Bob Paris, Mohammed Mackaway and Frank Zane. Great body. No flaws. Imagine doing it 1983 vs now.
    I see even Olympia competitors competing with imbalanced physique even with so much advancement in nutrition, technique and equipment and trainers 24x365. Its taken for granted. no shame.
    High lats..high/no calves..bloated, uncontrollable "on stage" ABS and what not!
    Only area they have advanced is in buttocks and leg biceps. The posing trunks have become miniscule in the ass to accomodate em.
    Over the years, have we become lazy for detail or is it the total lack of aerobics among top bodybuilders one cannot say. But we want them continue to breed like that to please the mass lovers.
    for aesthetics and perfection, we have other competitions in each olympia. go see them.
    its going to be like this forever I guess. the "bloated muscle competition" and the "Arnoldesque Aesthetic competition"
    There will be no in-betweens.

      It's not my style of music but he sure gets a great response. I had to go back & look at young Johnny Depp pics because people kept bringing that up & he does look like a young jacked JD. Rory's & Mendenhall's problem was they didn't know how to drop that last few pounds of water. This is pretty dang good shape for the time but 2 years later Gaspari changed the game. If he was only 3 pounds drier at this show & up the carbs A TAD to compensate; he would have been deeply striated everywhere. I've seen him look a liitle smooth but you can still see the striations in his triceps. That's water & not fat. He's having a blessed buffed life at an advanced age and I'm positive he would choose that over winning a few pro shows. It's all levels & every level comes with more long term risks. In my Icon pic, I was 2 days from turning 20 & founf out about the contest 2 weeks before. I was off season, dropped 7 pounds & came in about 12% bodyfat but was the Most Muscle massed Teen there. Also Natty. I got 4th out of 12 & looked almost as defined as when I came in at 4% and 155 pounds my 1st show at 17. My point is not long after this I got a small lump on a testicle & 2 specialist said if I take steroids (which I had planned to; to go to the open class) I would increase my chances of ball cancer by 400%. Not worth it although I think I could have got an AAU Mr. America title some day. I was all NPC but wanted to be Mr. America which is way easier than the Nationals. I gave training and dieting protocols to 9 different people; some who I saw their potential & put them in the same contest as myself knowing they would beat me - but they took stuff & were shorter. I knew I would surpass them later. All 9 guys went on to do very well. One, won a pretty big Regional show all Natty & the best conditioned guy at a tough contest. He was lightheaded the whole time to get in that condition. One super juicer like Boston Loyd but was very hard and complete never lost a show but never went past a certain level in competition. His crazy juicing was from some deep insecurity issues. Two Italian brothers. The Cuzalinas? Frank & Ted. Ted won every show he entered & was built like John Natyshak but taller. He could have gone far but got the same cyst that killed Munzer. Frank just competed once because he was 6"5 & had better legs than Ferrigno but never could get his upper body to match. He won the one show he did but just juiced for that show & one off-season & hated being 290 pounds. Around 260 competition. Kenny was lifetime Natty & the hardest worker out of all these guys. I had to have him back off because he wanted to go his own way & didn't grow for 6 months. My off-season was simple. Do two all out sets on any given exercise . Once you hit 12 reps on a weight, bump up the weight until you got twelve then bump up again. If you eat enough & allow for recovery; you'll grow fast. He came in 2nd at our State's Jr. Mr. State contest but it could have gone either way & I had him winning because he was peeled. The other guy had better shape & a tad rounder but when they flexed I don't think it was close. The winner was good friends with the Promoter. One guy I just helped with his posing, nothing else & he won Mr. State Open in a couple of years. Amazing Genetics like pro guys have. A black guy of course but so good in a very short time. All this happened between ages 18-22 so we hit a huge talent pool in our State during that time. My 1st 2 teen contests had like 20 competitors & one contest I won the LH class & the HW weighed 215 with striated glutes at 5"10. Same size Cutler was when he won Teen National HW class but was an inch shorter but not as conditioned as this guy. I told one guy he would be the Bantamweight Mr. Universe if he went Natty. He got 2nd at the Nationals Lightweight. What's hilarious is I went hard to win our teen State Title & there was one guy who was just too good when I got there. I fell asleep & missed a round of judging & didn't place top 5 because of that. Our City paper is huge & Ms. Oklahoma got on the Sport's Page & The Teen guy who fell asleep & missed a round instead of Mr. Oklahoma Open. I'm laughing as I write this. This kind of blessed stuff has happened to me as long as I'm living straight. Crazy! I'll post that paper sometime. I got my most ripped ever that summer & did 4 shows including a National show. Hopefully, you enjoy long boring comments. Have a Good One if you got this far! PEACE! & Stay Determined!! KC
