arghton 6,692 Posted September 13 Could we start using this thread again for some of these cases?: There are a few groups of very different bodybuilders or "bodybuilders". 1) The classic, natural bodybuilders (Samson Burke, Joe Weider, Manohar Aich, Len Sell, Peter Lupus, Clarence Bass...many others) 2) The modern ones who aren't natural, but are actual bodybuilders of IFB/NABBA, etc. (Arnold, Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates, Bertil Fox, Ritva Elomaa and nearly all the current ones...more borderline cases include Craig Titus, Miloš Šarčev, Rich Piana, Ernie Taylor and Gregg Valentino, but they still are/were actual bodybuilders too) 3) Synthol freaks/Instagram Hulks/YouTube monstrosities (Valdir Segato, Ronny Rono, Kirill Tereshin, Moustafa Ismail, Romario Dos Santos Alves, Arlindo de Souza, Bostin Loyd...and these Golem Yefimchyk and Matheus Pavlak) The two first groups fit into this thread. My personal opinion is that modern, self-proclaimed bodybuilders who have never competed and/or are only famous on social media should not be posted here. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lurking shadow 22 Posted September 13 Apologies if I caused any confusion. Being new, expect one or two "uh ohs" as I get used to things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,692 Posted November 10 Dorian Yates (Mr. Olympia 1992–1997) recently underwent hip replacement surgery. Might be one to keep an eye on, but much less health problems than Big Arnie and Ronnie Coleman. Yates says he "looks forward to 20 plus years of exercise" which sounds a bit unrealistic for a former roid user. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
