90’s Bodybuilding Was Pretty Damn Good

Whilst we are talking good short guys from the 90’s, here is one of my favourites, the great Thierry Pastel. Best place at the Olympia was 8th. That just shows you how good the lineup was back then.

Let me add Brian Buchanan, owner of the craziest v-taper ever.

He’d look amazing in classic nowadays.

Those are some fuckin’ shredded abs. Not even just visible, but like, I don’t know, deep or something. I don’t know how you describe it, ha.

This physique is much more what I’d want vs the lineup these days.

Charles used train in the same gym as me back in 1995 just outside London. Another UK IFBB pro called Eddie Abbew. I was a scrawny 21 year old and Eddie was just getting into comps, think he did Nabba universe in 96. Seeing these two in the flesh was mind boggling!!
Eddie now runs gym a few miles from my old town. Nice guy. I always remember him drinking heaps of milk and eating lots of doughnuts. I would often see him in the local supermarket carrying a gallon of milk In one hand and a bag of 12 doughnuts it the other !! :joy:

Lol I bet they can. I bet they were thinking, fk me I need to start eating pop tarts. Even though we are not too young anymore there are probably still kids who look at us now Even out of our prime and think damn that old dude is strong or damn look at those guns (the guns one is only for you).

If the bodybuilders weren’t better then the pants certainly were:

I want a pair of those pants now.
Tucked into the high tops is a bit off though.

lol, When you’re the size Dorian was, I doubt anyone in the gym was making fun of him.

Talk to Brad (@BrickHead), I’m sure he still has some of those old 90’s outfits in his closet.

Dude, it’s an elastic cuff, not tucked in. You’re confusing them with parachute pants.
