Just thought I would see what you all think here.
Personally, I hate the direction that pro bodybuilding is going and think it is doing the sport much more harm than good. I am not at all talking about synthol, gear, diuretics, blah, blah.... I simply mean the LOOK, however they come about it. I feel it is turning away far too many people that open a mag or something and simply KNOW that they could never look like that.
It seems that it has become a freak show and the guys who look good with aesthetics and symmetry no longer have a chance at all. Yeah, yeah, Dexter was up there but that was about it.
I started this post because we had a debate going on another board about Matt DuVal winning the Nationals. He might be a really nice guy and all, I don't know, but I think he looks very unimpressive, in my opinion (and I am sure that he thinks the same of me lol). In fact, I think there are no REAL good superheavies out there at all. Chris Cook - don't think so, Scott Milne from Canada - yeah right, Art Atwood - oh brother. Hell, even guys like Gunter just don't look right anymore.
Is it me? Am I just phuked up in the head? Okay, scratch that last question. Still, I think guys like Victor Martinez, Idris Ward-El, Johnnie Jackson, Richard James (I think that is his name - he just won the USAs or something as lightheavy), have some of the best physiques out there. I even think Jay Cutler looks all phuked up, to be honest. Have you seen pictures of Kevin Levrone back in 92 or 94?? He looked GREAT compared to what he does now.
Just my opinion but I am wondering how you guys feel about the current crop of pros.
