Has modern day bodybuilding gone too far?

    I wonder how many parts of his body he can no longer reach.

      I remember reading an interview with Nasser El Sonbaty (90s bodybuilder) about visiting Greg Kovacs (90s bodybuilder) at his home. When Nasser asked to use the bathroom, Kovacs' wife felt uncomfortable, but couldn't refuse. So Nasser goes to the bathroom and there are a bunch of towels with a lot of shit stains on them. Kovacs is one of the biggest bodybuilders ever, his muscles were so inflated that he couldn't reach around to wipe properly lol. BOTH died early due to heart problems caused by excessive steroid use. Professional Bodybulding should never be associated with fitness, they are on so much gear that they are very unhealthy.

      He's actually one of the bodybuilders that has aged the best from that era, he still hits the gym regularly from what I can tell on social media.

      Ronnie Coleman on the other hand, yeah he has not aged well in terms of maintaining physical ability.
