Fuck me 0ni, you take drugs so every argument you have is invalid, you've never achieved anything in lifting as a natural, so there.Gary Lewer used GH, so your argument is invalid as it changes everything
Look at the pre-GH era. The top BBers were mainly lean strength athletes. Guys like Franco Columbu, Frank Zane, Arnold, Benny Podda, Marvin Eder, Zabo Koszewski, Ed Corney, Chuck Sipes, John Defendis, Steve Michalik, John Grimek (squatted 695lb at age 70), Jeff King, Ricky Bruch, Ken Patera, fuck even Kirk Karwoski
The ability to lift heavy weights is critical in bodybuilding lol. They don't test maxes often no. But you need every bit as much motor coordination because a powerlifter just practices singles more and that is it.
I know @Silverback ; agrees on this
Do you think this is because bodybuilders of this day and age are a lot bigger than previously?
They're lucky bastards, some are born with it, while other mere mortals bust there arse to achieve half the result.Ever notice how some dudes can just place a bar on theirs backs and squat 10 reps for 200kg after a month of lifting?
what does this tell you?
What you call powerlifting back then is a far cry from what it's turned into today.Arnold and Franco: former European powerlifting champs.
Sergio: former Cuban weightlifting champ.
A lot of the American golden age bb'ers started off strength training for football...
i know it is lost on you, but key point made here
Then when I left powerlifting, I hovered around that kind of heavy training and it didn’t really do what it was supposed to do for my physique. The size and density I had previously built up from high-rep training, I began to lose because I was only worried about strength

Sounds like a Reg Park routine to me but like crossfit, powerlifting stole it.
I have no idea what he weighed, it was a guess. Still, a 1600lb total is nothing to shy at. He did Reg Parks 5x5 routine IIRC. Funny that. Sounds a lot like a powerlifting routine
