As you and I have witnessed, the faces change, gyms open and close, the gym auras change, the mass of the top competitors has gradually increased, new names are given to what we realize are essentially the same old exercises and nutrition approaches, but one thing never changes: whatever a person's genetic potential is, it requires consecutive years of consistent, disciplined, dedicated hard training to achieve it then maintain it.

Spot on, zero personality/charisma in general. The old school guys were on the vanguard, they weren’t doing it for social media clout. They were titans, blue collar, tough. They had balls and made it entertaining. For example, Big Ramy’s routine at the Olympia was so weak, pathetic. He built 300lbs of muscle and he has some half baked performance? I think a lot of guys are overrated…too much dependence on gear.
