^ what?
'Do as I say not as I do (did).

yep, no wonder he was a successful politician, full of shit.
Arnold is in no need of my defense, however we need to look at the above comment within the context of what it is that Arnold is really about. And what the man is really about is big business. That means one needs to sing the song that the public is willing to hear and is capable of understanding. I've always said that there are two type of news, the real news, and the other, made specifically for public consumption.Arnold on a mission to reshape Bodybuilding " The whole drug issue is a major problem. We know we can bust everyone out there, but no one wants to— we just look away.”
Pfft classic division.The physiques of today reflect the judging criteria. If anyone is to blame, it's the judges.
Hasn't this already been addressed by introducing the new "classic" division?
^ what?are you serious? pretty obvious
do you think he got role in Conan for his fine acting skills, or because he was a better choice amongst drugged up physiques at a time when public knew little of drugs?
Umm, I will go for 2nd option.
How about the fan, the one who wants to see bulging muscles with not a thought of the consequences of come what may to the health of the bodybuilder...., one (I might add), who is more than willing to accommodate such irresponsible demand? Craziness is to be found on both sides of the fence; the fan and his obliging bodybuilder. The judges? Well, I remember back in the 1980 Mr. Olympia when business was put ahead of honesty. Today I can not blame the judges for one very simple (yet extremely powerful) reason; the social media, THE bomb of the people! We can all sound our horns of displeasure whenever anyone comes ripped to shreds with paper thin dry skin...., the most dangerous look from a health point of view in my opinion.The physiques of today reflect the judging criteria.

Remember the 1983 Mr. Olympia when the lion of Lebanon Samir Bannout won? Most everyone was cheering for the Fox, a la Bertil, for his awesomely built physique, that was way ahead of its time, (again) in my opinion. Even I was cheering for the man, yet the Christmas tree defined back of Samir won the night! These are small, yet significant turning points in our sport of bodybuilding. We've come a long way since then, but like I said, we now have the social media bomb at our finger tips..., it's really up to us to use it or let it go by the way side. Ausbb as an Australia bodybuilding site can take the initiative and vote on the subject. As for me, my vote is for big muscles that are defined by a low (not ultra low fat percentages), which ought to be penalised in the future. In other words, bring back the physique of Frank Zane, Mike Mentzer, Bertil fox (big yet not sick looking).....
