Impressive is an understatement with these guys. However, I would take the physiques from the bodybuilders from the 70s anyday over these guys. They look so artificial and juiced it's not asthetically pleasing to the eye. That's just me though.

I agree Mystic,and the fact is that these 5 guy`s pictured here, are consdidered aesthetically pleasing by todays standards.
They do look way better than most of the bigger guy`s with distended abdomens anyway.

Tim,
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Those GH guts are hideous and not healthy I'd imagine. Granted back in the 70s the bodybuilders dabbled with Dianabol and the like, but now a days it's insane. I've talked to a couple guys who have juiced before and they have to stay on it to retain the mass, its really quite sad. Also this opens up the door for psychological addiction. Personally, I would never touch the stuff, not just because of the health risk, but because of the fast & dramatic increase in size/strength.
Also, it is just me or does it seem that the bodybuilders from the 60s & 70s life longer than current ones? For example, didn't Flex Wheeler die, or have something really bad happen to him in regards to his health?
Granted, Katz, Arnold and Franco don't look like they did in the 70s, but they are still in relatively good shape and health. Arnold had a faulty heart valve but I think that was due more to genetics than steriods (I'm not condoning drugs, I'm against them), but my point is the drug use is getting out of hand, and not only are there more powerful ones available (GH and insulin), but they are taking exorbatent amounts.

Mystic, Flex Wheeler had a recent kidney transplant due to his steroid use/abuse.
The guy`sd pictured here are the top 5 in the contest, and they look a hell of a lot better than the GH bloated monsters, so I`m happy to see that possibly, a trend to more "pleasing" looking physiques, might be returning to the insanity that is professional bodybuilding.
It could only help the image of a sport gone astray.
