Everyone always likes to compare.

Like in football it is always, how do you think those Niners teams of the eighties would have stacked up to the champs of today.

I’ve also read the same in bodybuilding, although admittedly not as often.

And I think this is unfair.

Why?

Simple.

Times were different then and for the seventies bodybuilder, they did it with the equipment, training info, and diet info they had, at that time.

O.K.

I am not a prude; I know they also used those special supplements that you cannot find at your local health food store.

But the attitude was different.

When you read about the era, it seems like everyone was a lot more friendly and it was not so stressed out like it is now.

But now to the big point.

People say, how would have Arnold looked, or Sergio.

The question I never see asked is.

Would they have competed today?

By this I mean, with all of the differences in bodybuilding that there are today, plus, with all of the other opportunities that abound, would bodybuilding have had as much appeal to them.

I am not sure.

Although I must admit with Sergio’s genetics, what he could have achieved with today’s info would have been out-of-this-world.

A COMMENT

I know I bring this up a lot, but I think Muscular Development Magazine is doing a great service to bodybuilding, because they are showcasing today’s young talent.

I say this because, when people start thinking back to the past, the nineties always seem to come up.

And rightly so, with all the guys we had back then, it was a really good time for bodybuilding.

And maybe just maybe, Muscular Development Magazine is doing the same thing today with all of the young guys that they have in their magazine.

CONCLUSION

Sure, we will probably never be able to go back and relive the past.

But it is sure fun to try!
