The Old days of bodybuilding

[KaiGold]

Robbie Robinson and Mike Mentzer.

Robinson and Mentzer varied as much in their approach to training and nutrition as they did in their skin color. -
There isn’t one way, get that out of your head. However there’s definitely an approach which is suitable for you, and sometimes that approach is just to do what you haven’t been doing!


However if you know your Piaget, you want to play a ‘reiterable game’, meaning a game that works for you, for your family, and maybe even society as a whole, this week, next month, next year, even 20 years from now. -
Sustainability is one of the most central aspects of bodybuilding, it’s also maybe the strongest case against the ‘heavy duty style’, not that it isn’t working, but again, because of the sustainability issue. *Disclaimer; I’m NOT saying don’t train hard and heavy. My point is something like; you don’t have to put your life on the line every single session... -

Does anyone remember the Iron Warrior Mike Christian? Mike was born in 1955 and was pretty big in the 80s. He went up against Rich Gaspari. They had a huge rivalry but he could never beat Rich.

Here is Eduardo kawak. He won 5 Mr. Universe titles in the 80s.

Eduardo kawak was born on February 28, 1959 in Lebanon and he died of a heart attack on May 21, 2006 in China.

He was a great bodybuilder. I met him in 2000 circa in italy. He was in rimini for festival del fitness. He trained in the expo in the stand of panatta sport. And he was huge!

Rip kawak.

"These are not only never before seen pics – but they are VERY RARE – because I hardly ever take before show hotel room shots. These pics (I believe) are Wednesday evening before the 2001 Arnold Classic. This is Ronnie still flat (for Ronnie) and we, at this point, had done nothing with his water. The Arnold was one of my favorite looks of Ronnie’s – it may not have been his biggest look – he ended up around 247 on stage; but he had sick conditioning and bone dry. We pushed his carb loading about 90%, but the main thing I remembered about this show is how energetic and how great he felt. I even remember him telling me he had never felt like this before a show. If you remember that year – at prejudging – he literally ran out on stage.

Now, the reason these are rare – as I mentioned before – I seldom take hotel shots before the show when I’m at the event. I was always very confident in my abilities, but I also wanted to make the decisions based on what he looked like standing directly in front of me – taking in all factors, before making the next move. I never wanted to take pics, go back to the room to study them and “overthink” the process. I believe many times this is where the majority of athletes screw everything up! They go back – look at photos – overthink shit and now with social media they post photos and worry about everyone’s opinions/critiques – letting all this determine or at the very least play a factor in their next move.

Back in the day – it may have been a bit “old school” – but I still believe in that process 100%. Sometimes the simplest path leads you to the greatest results!"
