Difference in BB from 70's to now?

[zed]

i love the way arnold and ed corney and lou ferrigno looked the guys of that era had it all IMO does anybody know the main difference between them and the guys now? obviously the amount of stuff used is one but does anybody know of the actual gear used then compared to now and or diet training??? any input is useful....also has anyone ever seen an offseason pic of arnold or those guys?

I don't think Arnold had an off-season.

I honestly think that the introduction of insulin and gh had the most noticeable impact...

Arnold used to get pretty small in the off season actually. He would stop training for months at a time. As for the difference, well its alot of things. Different training, different diets, new drugs, and more drugs..

i agree....

definitely...GH and IGF don't go that far back in time...but remember, more scientific research has also been done into training methods, digestion, muscular development,m and nutritional supplements. In my opinion, all of that will not account for the size difference between yesterday and today...for that, everyone's right, drugs...and synthol
