I'm new to all this, but those guys have my respect so far.

If you havent seen a pic of bob then throw him name into a search engine and prepare to see the reason i got into bodybuilding...... Bob was pure art in "trunks" The fact that Bob is gay and is married to a guy called Rod did not stop me appreciating how awesome this guy was......the day i have a body like this guy is the day im a happy man!!!

It was unfortunate that he came on the scene with such great qualities in a time when the mass monsters started taking over. That is why Labrada kicked so much butt: he perpetuated the same aspects that Paris had, just to the Nth level! -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/07/20, 10:06 AM I was going to include Steve Reeves in my original post, did not think of him till after making the post. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2003/07/24, 08:47 PM Steve Reeves was pretty awesome. He was all natural wasn't he? Probably if I had to say current day though i'd go with Lee Priest because his size and shape is just crazy. I know Ronnie is probably bigger but still. Its pretty amazing to me Lee didn't win an Olympia yet (or did he?).

Firehawk734 Posts: 295 Joined: 2002/07/31	2003/12/06, 07:47 PM Jdelts, do you have alot less respect for bodybuilders that used juice to get where they are instead of doing it naturally?
Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2003/12/06, 08:11 PM Talk about putting someone on the spot.LOL I wouldn't say its ALOT less respect. They bust their ass at the gym just as much as the next guy. My question is, would they bust their ass just as much if they were natural? Each person has a different agenda when using juice, but either way, its not natural. Sure they look great and have the strength of an ox, but ask them how their heart, liver and kidneys are doing after a few cycles. Its too much of a long-term risk. That, I'm not jealous of. As I said in my private post to you, I have alot of 'meat-head' friends who abuse the illegal narcotic, so I'm exposed to its effects on a daily basis. I've seen one friend die from it and others have either heart liver or kidney problems. I just don't respect someone's DICISION(not the person) to put their body in that much danger for the sake of looking good or getting that extra edge in sports competition. thats my story. -------------- OPINIONS ARE LIKE BUTTHOLES, EVERYONES GOT ONE.

Firehawk734 Posts: 295 Joined: 2002/07/31	2003/12/06, 10:20 PM well the reason i ask is because i do have less respect for people that do it unless its for a career. Its a cheater way to do it, and in my opinion they DO NOT want to put THE AMOUNT OF TIME IN to do it naturally. Thats just my opinion and i stand behind it.
