Hi everyone,
Lately I've been following a lot of this new generation of bodybuilders and I've reached a conclusion, it seems that contest approachs have changed a lot today with regard to a few years ago.
I can see a lot of puffy faces even 2-3 weeks out, very round muscles, they never look depleted. Diets very high in calories (clean food ofc), high training volume with machines or hammers, they rarely do compound exercises (squats, deadlifts...), intensity is there but not like before... nothing looks like when a bodybuilder was doing basic compound exercises, recording his tilapia diet meals and looking tired and depleted.
For example: Regan was training 4x15 for precontest and eating a lot of food (Aceto was doing him lower/higher carb days)... Oxygen bodybuilders doing high reps with machines... some others not even eating fish or training heavy...
I talked this with a PRO bodybuilder of my country and the use of aas is also different, long acting esters into the competition, not dropping growth hormone, compounds such as boldenone, cipionate... I guess everything is changing, that maybe one of the reasons you don't see more jacked faces.
Would like to hear different opinions about this, do you think bodybuilding is changing in this aspect?
