Great stuff, T…
You will see a LOT of comment on these sites comparing “era’s”…while a lot of it is a bunch of idealistic nostalgia, there WERE some differences that are hard to ignore.
One point that you made is interesting…the GRADUAL increase in size that has occured. I would imagine that this increase followed whatever was being rewarded in the contest…
Another one was Fitness…a few years ago, one of the upper level competitors (I can’t remember her name…it will come to me…) had a VERY public tirade as she began to see larger and larger women (who were obviously juicing) winning contest. She said that it was going to destroy the sport.
Many attributed it to “sore losing”. Time has shown that she was actually right…
Anyway…just some thoughts…
Great stuff, TC!
