Arnold was right. Bodybuilders with their bellies sticking out are ugly. Modern bodybuilding is disgusting and degenerate. It is false aesthetics.
Ronnie Coleman seems to be turning into Uncle Ruckus there, but he agrees with Arnold. Effectively bodybuilding is dead. It has become a carnival freakshow.
But why not go one step further, and not just go back to the Arnold or Steeve Reeves look, but also pay more attention to what you can actually do with the body? In other words, go right back to before Steve Reeves when bodybuilding contests also included strength or gymnastics elements. Form and function combines. True aesthetics based on strength you can actually use.
The ancient Greeks would approve. Function. Power. Not empty vanity.
Learn the lesson from the fall of bodybuilding Veeky Forums. Train for strength and not for false standards of aesthetics that lead to ugliness and uselessness.
i will say the belly thing freaks me out. whats the deal there, lack of core strength? how do they end up with that?

Ronnie's the fucking reason it's a freak show.
Cutler had to be gifted his Sandows for being the only one to even get close to Ronnie at his prime.

A post like this begs that a few questions be asked.
What do you consider a fit person? What sort of attributes qualify you as the next Mr. Olympia?
Is it just strength and aesthetics? Is it strength, aesthetics, and stamina? Is it flexibility?
It would take a huge re-imagining of the entire concept of modern bodybuilding to do what you're suggesting.
Bodybuilding is supposed to be tasteful mass and symmetry.

i think lifting for vanity is 100% OK since we are hereto reproduce and we want to mate with females that have no physical defects and show strong physical traits and are mentally capable so that we can have strong and beautiful kids that will be chads
but in the end having a beautiful greek god physique isent even that hard to get so training specifically with that goal in mind seems more like cutting yourself short since theres no reason why performing impresive feats of strength wont have carryover to your physique and likewise even something as vain as doing concentration curls can stop you from tearing your biceps and might even help you concentrate

Weird diets and drugs. It's ain't all about the steroids like it used to be back in the 70's and before. They use anything and everything to get as big, lean, (and ugly) as possible nowadays.

Jeff seid will save bodybuilding, once he gets tired of partying and all.
