Actually it would be pretty hard to determine who is "natural" from both eras. Today`s "natural" competitors are suspect, as are the so called "naturals" from yesteryear. I know some are on the up and up ,the question remains which ones??  Comparing a guy like Skip Lacour, to Steve Reeves, would be interesting, but today`s bodybuilder is much more conditioned due to better dietary and training methods. Some people say Skip and Steve were not natural,though they both said they were! Who really knows? Only skip and Steve. I`ll search the web and see what kind of pics I can come up with for comparisons. |

I remember reading in a Muscular Development magazine in 1965 .It said the size of a Mr.America's bodyparts and bodyweight were up to 1964 .I only remember their arms were 17 and weight was 189 lbs .That may mean nothing . I do agree that now days even yester year would be hard to tell whats natural or not .

Well, legal supplements have improved, as has knowledge on diet and contest prep. It is so difficult to comment on this though again knowing a few "natural pros" thoughout the years what they tell the public and what is really the truth are two different things. It doesnt really matter to me what they take, but I really do wish for those that choose not to "supplement" where REALLY able to compete against other non supplemented competitors.

I agree Mike. I don`t care what people do as it`s their own choice but if you take steroids you should not lie and compete in "natural" contests thus robbing someone of a trophy who was honestly natural.
It`s even worse when a guy on juice gets beaten by a natural guy ,in a natural contest.

tarzan, I met Ulisses at a contest one of my friends was in a few years ago.
In the line-up he didn`t even flex, and he looked almost perfect to me,and just blew everybody away easily.
He easily won the contest ,and was simply amazing to watch onstage.
It was a NPC natural contest put on by Mike Katz in Connecticut!!

this is a quote from his site "I maintain a dietary regimen without engaging in any cardio. I'm naturally blessed with a 28-inch waist. My diet is replete with carbs, includes 250 grams of protein a day" must be nice to have the ablity to not do cardio and maintain a 28inch waist.   |

Here`s a pic of my former training partner Luke Malone. Luke competes in the Musclemania events too and you can look up his record at www.musclememory.com Anybody that say`s you can`t build a quality physique without the use of drugs doesn`t know what he`s talking about!!  |

No I don`t but I usually call him on the weekends so I`ll see if he can E-mail me some.
If you got to the INBF website you will find pics of him from a couple of years ago but he has improved dramatically since then.
The guy really know`s his stuff and is a great bodybuilder with a bright future as well as being a hell of a nice guy!!
