      Erm, nah, I'd say I'd say there's more PED usage today than there was.

        The guy looks like an IFBB pro, he looks better than "Natural bodybuilders".

        Francis Ngannou could step on stage in an untested bodybuilding contest and probably place STRAIGHT AFTER A WEIGH IN
        ​​​​​
        All the while doing a sport that requires insane amounts of cardio training which is extremely catabolic.

        The heavyweights in the 50's, 60's and 70's mostly looked like your typical "builders physique" strong, but with some flab over it.

        Look at George foreman he had a dad bod pretty much and Ali didn't look physically impressive at all he looked like a guy that works out once a week
        ​​​​​​

        It was only in the late 80s an onwards when roids became mainstream that you started getting these herculean physiques, although I would say that the 90s was the absoloute peak of it, Ngannou would have fit right into that era.
        Yeah, no. Defintely not.

        Genetics play the main factor as always. You had guys like Harold Johnson and Ken Norton in the 60’s and 70’s who looked like they were carved out of stone.

          EPO didnt come out until the late 90s

          They have better PEDs today and are better at sport specific PED application.


          Early 90s they were just doing body builder cycles, that is why everyone had massive traps and shoulders. Holyfield, Bruno, Morrison ect. Yeah they still got a lot of benefits for boxing but not as good as the early 2000s once they started getting things like EPO as boxing is really a cardio sport.

          You can also see how so many fighters in their late 30s and early 40s were able to compete with the best young guys out there, this really shot up after 2000. Look at JMM, Pac, Hopkins, Mayweather ect, now look at them in the 80s they were all shot, hardly anyone was elite after 35, look at SRL, larry holmes ect Its from PEDs that guys can fight so late. A lot of naive idiots out there think its protein shakes and BCAAs or whatever bull**** the strength coaches are selling.

            I'm 37 and I'm still in tremendous condition, I've slowed down a fraction from my 20s but my run times, my gym PR's are all still right up there, my natural testosterone levels are still high, my stamina is good etc.

            No I'm not an elite athlete or anything but I'm not on any PED's and I've not seen this dramatic physical collapse that used to happen in your early 30s to those guys.

            Also you look at pictures of people in their 30s from like the 70s and 80s and they look so old, idk what it was but there's this meme of the cast of cheers going around and they are all 35 and loom about 50.

            Maybe it's all the estrogen they are putting in the water now but I do feel like 40 now is comparable to 30 in the 80s

                  You're saying Foreman's dad bad is the look of a steroid abuser? Tyson had like the same body since he was in his teens. Lewis looked normal. I'm not talking about who actually got bust with roids, but whose body looked the part of roids, that is why I said Holyfield.

                      Illegal, expensive and delivery is very clandestine.

                      Too many go between.

                      I gave up trying a while ago.
