On a recent program Bob Cicherillo, who by this point in time we can all agree is one of the most outspoken retired bodybuilders on the planet, went out to say that old school bodybuilders have a bad habit of lying about what they ran back in the day. That’s actually a very good point. And he does make good points from time to time. Some people will say a rubber clock is right twice a day but that is not what I am saying here. Bob has a tendency to offend people and ruffle feathers very easily. He doesn’t make any apologies for what he has to say and sometimes people can’t deal with that. Nothing that he has ever said has ever really made my blood boil but it’s more like an annoyance every so often when he says things that maybe make me raise an eyebrow. That said, nothing that he says truly offends me.
Well in any event, this next comment that Bob made has sent shock waves throughout the fitness industry, particularly in old school bodybuilding message boards and Facebook groups. I’m not really sure why so many people are alarmed by his statement because it isn’t exactly anything that I would consider groundbreaking or necessarily overly offensive, but it’s not been well-taken by many of the old school guys.
