Modern bodybuilding has evolved to the extreme of maximising muscle size and minimising fat at the professional level, but is really still niche in modern culture and has likely reached the end of the road (have we seen progress from Ronnie in ~20 years ago?). There is a place for this as a niche extreme and I feel what you are preaching is largely accepted by the mainstream fitness community..
Modern bodybuilding today sucks. Its about bulk and mass years ago it was about perfection, symmetry and balance, Everything had to be in balance. Today just bulk and mass with huge guts.
Feels like Omar justifies being small a lot lately. We get it you're natural not everyone on steroids dies at 40. If you're so into educating yourself spend some time. A lot of time researching responsible monitored steroid use.
I fully agree with this assessment. Body building is kinda weird and has been for years. I repect men like Dorian and Arnold. But years ago I was walking around a local park and I remember seeing what could still be the most massive guy I've ever seen…. and it was just not anywhere near has cool has it looked in the magazines. But I don't want to see my people and my community fat and unhappy . Most people would gain from the totally realistic goal of just putting on some muscle and losing some fat and gaining some mobility.
the problems with bodybuilding period is metro small dick syndrome. To make up for MSSD one must lift in order to feel alpha male when technically their dick says otherwise.
It’s incredibly sad what PED’s have done to strength sports. Imagine Ilya Ilyin in his teens – an incredibly talented hardworking athlete who is met with a very difficult decision – refuse performance enhancing drugs and allow his talent and name to never be known. Ilya who? Allowing far less talented people to take medals that he knows should be his. Their names spoken across the globe, bringing prestige to their nation. Or to accept that to take his place in the history books as the champion he knows he could be, he’ll need to take them aswell. What a fucked up situation. And it’s just the same for the other strength sports. There are those out there who have the natural talent and determination to become champions but know that if they refuse to do as the rest are doing, that some talentless fuck will overtake them. We should as participants and spectators of these sports start to reject these drug induced champions. Not only for the sports themselves, but also for the athletes that participate who currently have no option other than to do as the others. We could take back these sports – and actually make them sports again, not chemistry competitions where the athletes have to deal with the terrible consequences of drug abuse in their later years.
Not sure why a young man would risk his life for such a juvenile and fleading pursuit,,also it is obvious now that putting a whole bunch of muscle weight on hasn't any fitness value,,and or life extending benefit. In my experience,, the modestly muscled,,lean waisted,,quick on there feet type- have the most longevity in this world,,but I digress..

Why are athletes that lift consistently for their sport not included in the culture of lifting? (Genuine question for the community)
It became less about the Art & more about pushing the boundaries of Muscularity.
You are absolutely on the right track. Keep it up.
Why do the judges like this though you’d think the categories would make it so the classic physique is more desirable
New Tai Lopez, Omarlsuf, pretty soon he's going to be talking in front of a lambo about bodybuilders in books for that knowledge gain.

Cuz it's all about promotion and money, like every field out there
“Proto Arnold”. True enthusiasts look for the people who influenced the influencers.
Never seen your channel before. Interesting! Congrats on reading a book a week.
This is a good channel. I like people who speak intelligently and challenge the status quo.
Omar I agree! Modern bodybuilding it's not what most of us practice. We need to promote natural bodybuilding and fitness accurately.
Dat Zyzz reference. happy tear

Problem.of modern bodybuilding is, like Ferigno say, it is freak show!
I put some of the blame on Arnold and some of the others around his time.

You preached some real truth!
So Zyzz reinvented the origin of bodybuilding? Focusing on aesthetic symmetry and great physique. Not wanting to look like a blown up freak.
basically bodybuilding went from "damn I wish I looked like that" to "what the fuck is wrong with that dude"
2:27 Didn't have any drugs? William Murray FOR SURE cycled
On a bicycle, he for sure road a bike
Don't be freaky deaky! 😨
Says books improved his overall thought processes and ability to think through his ideas
Says “at its conception” instead of “inception”
Just giving you a hard time!
Really hope you do the Dave Draper podcast episode.
DON‘T LOSE YOUR WAY!!! insert girls fighting by stripping their clothes
