It's a shit ton of work regardless of outside help. The hormones just accelerate the progress...or make more progress possible. But they should've been honest about the chemicals from the get.

As an artist I used to study these guys intensely for modeling used in my work. I always used to find myself using Arnold and Frank Zane simply because they looked very proportionate. Arnold in his early years is immaculate in that regard. I would never say perfectly proportioned but he knew what he was doing and worked damn hard to get a very balanced look. Frank has that same type where abs aren't a mess and his lats don't make his arms push out to make him look like a plush toy. Great respect for all of these people and I certainly appreciate the work they put in.

Remember that all those steroids over the years would have shut down his natural production, so he's in a substantial testosterone deficit at this point compared to what he would be if he was always natural. They also would have done a lot to his heart and organs that may be weaker now and it's hard to get an anabolic reaction. So I think that even at 80 a man can still be strong, active, mobile and even a little aesthetic and then in the next few years reach their final resting place with full dignity. Noone lives forever I'm afraid.

I ALWAYS admired Frank Zane the most ! I personally believe him to be one of the most....if not the most finest Specimens in the Bodybuilding world ! (It wasn't just about bulk but symmetry and he had it...along with posing) My uncle my Dad's twin brother (RIP) reminded me a lot of Frank Zane !! He even won in the Mr. L.A. tournament ! Also I grew up reading my dad's and uncles "old" bodybuilding magazines and admired guys like Bill Pearl...Steve Reeves...Gordon Scott...John Grimeck and of course Jack Lalane. Then later (my generation) Franco Columbu.... Arnold Schwarzenegger....Lou Ferrigno and of course Frank Zane my favorite. Last but NOT least Sly Stallone looks absolutely great especially for his age even though he never competed he always looked good. P.S. For bulk and muscle and just the great look of it all....Lee Haney...Dorian Yates and Jay Cutler had it ! Mr. Olympias in their own right.

Tell people STEROIDS doesn't do anything. If that doesn't work, go to plan 3. 3. COMPARE STEROIDS to other UNHEALTHY things ie. ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES, ETC... "Try" and JUSTIFY using them. If that doesn't work, go to plan 4. 4. Call them names & CURSE at them. Even if you admit to using STEROIDS, you still have FAKE muscles and FAKE strength! Stay natural buddy!

I used to sponsor many shows, and athletes too. Although I have always been and stayed a natural bodybuilder; 218 LB off season and 190 LB contest day, yet I can still admire the commitment and extremely hard work, especially come time for contest prep of those real-professional athletes using anabolic and/or others. Their dedication is above and beyond to what someone outside of that world could ever conceive and/or endure! I miss those times and many of those hard working athletes. When your in that zone of body transformation, its a high only those doing it can only grin and cant wait for tomorrow and do it again! R.I.P. to some of those brothers and sisters. 😢

For me Frank Zane looks the best because he kept his body in a very nice natural proportion all the time. Those heavyweights look impressive in size, but they really look deformed rather than fit. Zane on the other hand looks like the guy that everybody wants to be. Even at an older age he looked awesome, something that none of the heavyweights could maintain because all that exaggerated bulk is very unnatural and difficult to keep.

John Smith, you are so right, frank Zane looks like he's athletic and handsome and the nicest person you will ever know

My favorite was Cory Everson!! What a total knockout!! and she always will be. 💘

You know it! MY favorite Mrs olympia of all time! WOULD have been neat had she retired with Haney and 8 Mrs olympia!

Dorian Yates was absolutely one of the best. I always admired him- abside from Arnold(Because I am 6'2 like Arnold and BB is a bit different for longer insertions points like myself). But Dorian Yates is incredible. I remember the first time I saw him and his symmetry/size I thought that was the gold standard to look like. Incredible fella. On a side note.. Zane in that last picture and 71 to 79 surprised me. Boy has his happiness changed from him till now. I never use to worry about aging or looking old, or even giving it a second thought. But boy when you reach your mid 30's you give everything second thought that you normally wouldn't. Life goes by so damn fast. Yet slow enough to make something interesting of yourself.

We liked and rooted for Arnold in my house in the 70s. I remember him giving an interview later on where they asked him if he used steroids and he said... "Of course, we all did." They also asked him about diet and if he drank milk and he responded "milk is for babies... I drink beer!" Of course, he meant "good beer" with some caloric value and "not that piss water." lol

@@drhkleinert8241 Oh, I understand that. The synthetic hormones they use today create inhumane creatures, not "body builders." It affects their mental faculties, they become viciously addicted and lose a lot of their judgement. I see pictures some of these guys and it's repulsive and scary what they do to themselves and think it's in anyway positive. They become so inflated, they can't hardly move around and can't reach to wipe themselves, they're so distorted. You couldn't pay me enough to do that to myself. Sad. The stuff in the 70s (I new a guy who used to play for the Jets, he was strangely muscled and lost his hair early, wore a bad toupé, behavior so erratic and self-centered they tossed him off the team) was bad enough, if you didn't take regular breaks from it. Did strange stuff to you.

@@esmee6308 Oh, I agree. When I was in my day, years gone by, I stood 6' 4.5"/240lbs and was in top shape. Today, I'd look like a toothpick next to those idiots... And that's a problem. There are no more "heros" for which young men to aspire, just mutated bullies. The cover of muscle magazine used to show what you could do with dedication and training, now it's an homage to modern "chemistry" (to use the word loosely) and mad scientists. If I saw my kid getting interested in that, I'd rip it out of his hands and take him to the first rugby test (match) I could find. They're the "real athletes" with heart and determination and the best overall athletes you can find (think football, soccer and wrestling, all in the same game). I played national league for 5 years and they're the best, well centered bunch of loonatics your ever gonna meet and they don't all die of rot by the time they're 55. Anyway ,I guess they're going to have to take a stand in the sport and ban chemical use in pro and armature levels with strict penalties, like baseball and other sports and have a full reset. There'll be a lot of pissed off people and the sport will suffer for a bit but, that's better than the slow, painful death it's enduring right now.

​@@MtnBadger It seeps through in any media, recently a friend sent me a picture of the instagram dreambod (lean, very muscular, perfect lighting) and went on with how a bit of work (30-1h playing with a dumbbell at home, few times week) he could get that physique and should just stop being lazy. I'm not one the shatter dreams since he might fall in love with the positives of bodybuilding but, had I bet my life the guy wasn't natural, if he was, excellent genetics and worth-ethic for many years. But how do I convince someone when the average holywood transformation and Olympia stage look like it's possible and 'not that impressive'. For me weightlifting is about all my disabled body can handle in terms of sports and it has positive effects on me (I'm out, active, around people, eat well, sleep well, avoid bad habits.) But if my body wasn't already a wreck, who knows how enticing something would be, it's hard to think consequences if you never had to deal with them and if you're just that few % away from being the best in your region... Again a thing I'd never have to worry about, I'm lucky I can walk. :'')

I highly admire and respect Dorian for his willingly do downsize after retirement. Many guys just want to keep huge until their old age and have serious health issues.

Hello great video those were the good old days. I’m 65 years old I realize I’m not young anymore. I back off lifting heavy like in my younger days. Took me awhile to accept things I use to do I have to use common sense. Now my goal I do cross training every day is to maintain the best I can till I leave this earth . Hats off to theses guys ❤

I met Bob Paris on the San Juan Islands back in '95-'96 or so, when he sold his personal gym equipment to a fitness club I worked for. He helped us move it in and set up. Was all custom made pieces. Interestingly, no flat bench press, and he told me he won many Championships using that equipment. Nice guy. That may have been the period in life that he officially quit bodybuilding altogether? Good to see him move on so nicely compared to some of the others here.

@Ran Man - he didn't just quit like that. It was more of the issue with the Weider bros/corporation. There was plenty of info back then about him. At that time I did like him too, a good bodybuilder with a very good physique (great in fact). But I also remember articles from back then (1990s+) - that were talking about Weider(s) not liking him - just because he was a gay. Hence after tha time, he sort of disapeared after that. But personally I don't think that was just his decission. More of like was was being silently "forced" out: not being able to signing some new contracts with Weider(s), less appearance in various magazines (mareketing), less opportunities...
