Historical bodybuilders were deceptive about using steroids and claimed their physiques came from supplements instead.

Oh, that's the dirty thing about those bodybuilders back in the day is they couldn't admit that they were on gear. So they were all just telling you they were taking this stuff and then they would be spokespeople for it.

Modern bodybuilders are more transparent about steroid use than in the past.

But now a lot of bodybuilders are pretty forthcoming because it's more normal to be transparent and also not mislead people and you know, unethically sell things and just reality check people on the what it's going to take to be at that level.

Bodybuilders often neglect training specific to sport performance in favor of cosmetic appearance.

I think there's definitely specific training for purposes that would be conducive to sport, that maybe some might be neglecting for sure, and ways to optimize for like, for example, you don't do hypertrophy work for bodybuilding because it's not conducive really, to what you're trying to get. And I think some, some people, they want the best of both worlds and they want to like, look the part and also perform. So they might be, you know, sapping bandwidth that could be allocated towards more optimal things that don't make them, you know, as cosmetically pleasing.

Bodybuilders used to dye their skin including their face to create more contrast and show muscles.

We were talking about last night, Brendan Schaub and I one time we were watching these bodybuilders. And you know, bodybuilders used to dye all of their skin, including their face. For what? Well, the more, the darker your skin is, the more contrast, the more it shows your muscles.
