No they are bigger today
Our sport has regressed big time
The 90s guys were gods
Back then it mattered to be ifbb pro now they give 1000000 pro cards per year

I feel that circa 1990 is part if the modern era, same as we live today. Why? Because by the early 90s the same drugs we use were used and nothing much revolutionary has come around since. Nothing has really changed since then. No new knowledge, no new diet, no new training and no new drugs. I saw the argument that the fantastic "Ironman lighting" gives us a slightly distorted view of their actual conditioning. Dramatic lighting along with grainy VHS footage. Guys are leaner on average despite what many/most think. Yes there may be more bloat today, but the fat is lower.
Now if you go to say the late 80s, they were "nothing" compared to guys today. Why? Very simple: growth hormone and insulin. Nothing else. "All drugs" as they say.
