I started training around 1985-86 right in the middle of the fitness craze (Stallone, Arnold, Olivia Newton-John, Jamie Lee Curtis...). The 70s were therefore still very close to us in terms of influence, machines and atmosphere. The gym clothing fashion was completely crazy! Each era has its strong points and its weak points. It wasn't perfect in those days either. But I wouldn't trade the 70s and 80s for all the gold in the world. There's nothing like the 80s!

[@jermaineayivoh8263]

Bodybuilding really started to explode into the public consciousness in the 70’s, continued to grow in the 80’s, and then finally peaked in the 90’s. The fitness industry as a whole has expanded world wide and is much more mainstream now than it has ever been, but the golden era of pro bodybuilding came and went and ultimately ended over 20 years ago. You don’t see todays top bodybuilders all work out together at Golds Gym, or enjoy a workout in the blazing sun amongst hundreds of onlookers at muscle beach. Those days are gone for good.

I was fortunate enough to catch the end of the 80's early 90's workout scene. I was young probably around 14 when I started training at the Dayton, Ohio area Gold's Gym that was next to a toy store called Children's Palace. I'll never forget that vibe, and seeing all these jacked up dudes training all the time was very motivating for a fat kid that wanted to look better and get girls. just free weights and old school equipment with WTUE blaring the rocks hits at the time over the speakers. the muscle mags, the early years of supplementation and crazy programs that could get you JACKED in 12 weeks. those crazy striped baggy pants(forget what they were called), Gold's Gym t-shirts, Hot Stuff, Ultimate Orange, Weider Weight Gainer, all of it was so cool. eventually that Gold's I spoke about moved to another location but was never the same. thanks for the vid, it was a golden time indeed. but honestly, we are living in a pretty good era despite all the things that are "new" and annoying. training is what you make it. don't like your gym? change gyms

Some of the old pros used to lie about their workouts to try to trick the competition into overtraining or trying some dumb ineffective routine to keep the competition down. Hahahaha! And I don't remember ever seeing women in those mags with tattoos covering all their limbs, either. And the BS supplements they used to sell. Oh, what a time. But the gym culture was so much better. Today, I must say, the supplements are so much better... and the science. But it seems so grim now. And all the tatted up women today with artificial improvements who act and dress like p*orn stars. Sorry, to judge but I remember it being better in the old days. Maybe I just had a thing for cropped t-shirts, leg warmers and big hair.
