What bodybuilding has lost over the years

I ran across this video today of Melvin Anthony on stage back in 2001 and thought it was awesome. This level of posing and attention to presenting your physique has almost disappeared in today's shows. We spend so much time getting ready to be on stage for maybe 5 minutes total time (mandatory, routine, comparisons) and yet so little effort is put into posing practice even at the pro level. Either way, enjoy the video.

Arnold posing used to be a form of art...

Amazing posing routine! And they had small waists back then... looks very proportionate.

While I'm so much into bodybuilding and shows. When I first started lifting I thought this routine by Zane was amazing.


Also Kai's 2016 Arnold routine was also very amazing

Goddamn he was shreddedup. Not
Much size on him though. Not much focus on his legs it didn't seem.

Not near as cool as Anthony's. He fuckin won that aspect of it.

This guy. I don't like his physique. It's weird. His back is beyond ducking shredded, but his love handles get me. And his big ol gut.

He really blazed through all his posing during the dance, as where Anthony really took the time to let you see everything, he was A lot more fluent as well.
