The guy who squats 315 for sets of 8 or the guy who squats 450 for sets of 8? It’s that simple.

IMO.... There is a difference between can-do and do, Nick/ Samson can definitely bench 405 or more. They choose to use lightweight and do 10-15 reps with 225-315 for 5 secs each rep, that's what makes them the top in the bodybuilding world, healthy and training to fatigue are the keys. Powerlifters can be ramping 400-500lbs like a motherfucker and still, they are small compared to the same level of bodybuilders, of course, they are still bigger than 99% ppl in the world.

Jay Cutler was squatting 500+ and benching 400+ before he turned 20

Also, it's been a long time since the 1990s, and the training and recovery system has changed a lot, no more 800lbs squats like big Ronnie, winning powerlifting and bodybuilding at the same time, bro science indeed works, otherwise, there won't be guys like Lee/ Ronnie/ Jay/ Phil.
Things we need to think about are what works more efficiently or what you prefer, also take a look into coaches, "Hani and Stefan style for nowadays" or "Milos style for the past"

The last thing is hard work
Good theory+ bad work= 0%
Imperfect theory+ hard work= 80%
Good theory+ hard work= 90%
There is no 100%, there's always potential that we haven't discovered

If Jay had used FST-7 training back then, would his career be different, guess we'll never know

As you said though one can't use this theory to lift like a pussy!!!!

If some guys only focus on theory like nerds and don't put hard work in there then he's gonna be small forever

You’re missing the entire point. If you get strong now you can train the way in which you preach but being able do it with 30% more weight your going to be a lot bigger.

The last few drips
PSL the best

And regarding the 90’s. That was
The best era of bodybuilding. Top 3 back then would easily win the Olympia these days. Dorian, Levrone, and Wheeler easily would be Mr. Olympia these days.

This is related to recent trends, where the orientation of the alliance tends to favor shorter players. Hadi and Derek are both less than 170cm tall, but you are right, in recent years there hasn't been a dominant player in MR.O.

But one thing I want to defend Hadi is, that his back better than Dorian

That’s a bad shot of Dorians back. He doesn’t have his lats spread forward as he is contracting his back. I’ve seen much better shots of this pose and it looks nothing like the one you posted. I’ve seen him in person at the Mr Olympia and got photos with him. There is no debate that nobody has come even remotely close to Dorian’s back to this day. Again you’re not showing what his back actually looked like in his prime.
