But how often does someone ask you do hoist a pony? I toss around a little 14 lb dog pretty frequently though. Impressed?

I donāt get where the disputes lie.
Sandow was the first. He is no different than Bill Gates in the computer industry or the Beatles in the Rock and Roll industry. Thereās a reason why they are special; they did what they did when nobody else did it. Comparing todayās stuff with the past is pretty unfair. [/quote]
Thatās what I was trying to get at!
Today we have a far better understanding of training, the human body, nutrition, and even PEDāsā¦ it is just weird to me to look at Sandow and then compare oneself to him for the sake of saying how much better people are today.
Of course there are plenty of people who are more built than Sandowā¦ but if it werenāt for that guy ā none of us would be doing anything close to it today.

Bullshit! Bodybuilding would still be popular without Sandow.
