🔥 THROWBACK THURSDAY 🔥
Throwing it back to bodybuilding in the ’90s when bodybuilding was bodybuilding!
There was no Men’s Physique, Classic Bodybuilding , Bikini or Figure. There was men’s bodybuilding and women’s bodybuilding. That was the show, I remember my first bodybuilding show I had 20 competitors just in my division
It was great showing up to competitions with all these athletes who put their blood, sweat and tears into every prep. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just hard work, discipline and a true love for bodybuilding.
As Bikini, Figure, Physique and all the other divisions started being added, you slowly began seeing fewer and fewer bodybuilders competing.
And on a funny note…if your tan didn’t look fake, it wasn’t dark enough once you stepped under those bright stage lights! We would spend hours painting each other lol😎
Great memories from a great era of bodybuilding.
Who do you recognize in the picture? Check out Jimmy Michaud 1998 men’s division debut and takes the overall title!
Remembering Dave King 🙏
