Disgust with Modern Bodybuilding by Strength Oldschool
Long gone are the days of the "classic" bodybuilding look - Wide shoulders, big arms, tiny waist, athletic legs, oozing health and vitality. Serge Nubret (pictured above) was a prime example of this. The classic, flowing lines have vanished and sadly, possibly never to be seen again. From the mid '90's onwards, the sport of bodybuilding took a dive and plunged into a state of mass, belly freaks!

Ironmaster Quick Lock Adjustable Dumbbells Review
Let me start by saying this article is not about providing only positive comments about Ironmaster to simply make some "commission" money back from referred sales... this Ironmaster review and any other product review on this website, regarding gym equipment in general, no matter the brand, will always be truthful and honest. Expect no bullshit from Strength Oldschool. No company is perfect, there will always be something negative to say regarding either the product, the delivery service, custom

I came across this photo online showing Big Ronnie Coleman curling 143 kg (315 lbs) using a straight barbell. Is this photo real? It looks real. Was Ronnie strong? He sure was. The only thing about this photo that bothers me is the fact that writer Chris Sloan states it was a "STRICT" curl!! Ronnie Coleman was Gorilla strong but was he strong enough to perform a strict barbell curl with 143 kg (315 lbs)? By the way, in case anyone hasn't watched Ronnie's documentary entitled: "

Craig Monson was a huge bodybuilder who spent several years in San Quentin Jail. He competed at a ripped bodyweight of +270 lbs at a time when the biggest bodybuilders were around 240 lbs. When I say ripped, I mean just sheer BEASTLY size with NO bubble gut / bloated belly like today's Mr Olympia giants. He even made Sergio Oliva look small! At a height of 6ft 2, he dwarfed competitors with arms over 23 inches! Strength Feats included 400 pounds on bench
