8x Mr O Lee Haney has earned some blowback for recent comments he made about where the sport of bodybuilding finds itself. It’s kind of curious to me that he would be getting any kind of negative attention for stating the obvious. Over the years we have seen where contemporary bodybuilders do not really want to hear from their predecessors unless it is to sing their praises. Modern day bodybuilders must be aware of the fact that the sport has not advanced but rather has retrograded in the time since the 90’s and early 2000s.
Back in those days even the mass monsters had far better aesthetics and symmetry than the top guys do today. That just cannot be argued. You can’t argue symmetry or balance. All you have to do is look at it and you will see. The reality of the matter is that we have allowed ourselves to become fixated on one of the many attributes involved in bodybuilding. Unfortunately, we did not pick condition or vascularity or proportions as the distractions that obsess our very existence. Of course what we decided to fix it on was size. One of the things that really, honestly, we could all live without. Size does not represent the qualities of an aesthetic physique. Size is really for the freak factor of it all. And Lee didn’t say this, Christian Duque is saying this, but I really believe bodybuilding has become a freak show.
