Bodybuilding success stories thread

[Mr I]

Feel like we focus on the spectacle of hardship too much. They are a minority, bodybuilding is a fantastic recreational activity and sport.

So I want to kick things off with success stories as I see them.

Of course the obvious is Arnie but in modern times I'll start with Cutler. Multiple runner up and Mr Olympia. Very few Injuries, actually never trained to failure preferring volume and consistency. Retired healthy and in tact and still making plenty of money off it.

Labrada, 2nd in Olympia o think more than once, still looks fantastic today

Needs no introduction, my buddy and a man that changed bodybuilding forever, happy today through adversities a rounded individual quite spiritually grounded and still making dollar while not overly chasing it

Arguably the greatest ever, the last king if the golden classical era retires with 8 sandows aged 31.

Could he have gone on, adding gh and skin and loads of tren. Fuck yeah but why? He'd already eclipsed Arnie. Now, happy, healthy and still a great ambassador
