Isn't that a bull shit article? Flex wheeler is still competing and jacked isn't he?
How is it bullshit? In what way do you disagree?
I'm comparing the size differences from the 80's to today, not bodybuilding in general.
I'm saying size is chemically dependent much more than any other genetic factors.
Genetic factors always play a role, sure.
Some people can get bigger than some other people. Yes.
But over all size differences have changed over the years.
I'm saying the new factor in the size difference is not more roids, we all know there is a point of diminishing returns with just roids.
The new factor ( really, not so new) High levels of Insulin and HGH. That is the new and different factor that started around the time Haney was leaving and Dorian was moving in.
Thats not a genetic factor.
If you want to get into the shape of a competing level Bodybuilder you must use HGH and insulin in the correct ways.
This is and has been known among the elite BB's for years.
Just taking roids wont work, if you want to be a professional level BB and win professional contests that is.
Flex probably still trains and uses drugs to maintain his current size, what ever that is.
I know he is in no way the shape or size he was.
But to start talking about Flex we must then start talking about the age factors.
Age in the sense most pros who have been busting their ass for 15 + years are just tired of playing the hustle game and quit around age 40.
Not necessarily because they cant look good after 40-45. they can and do.
