What is the Future for Bodybuilders? (Part 1)

By: Mick Hart

As we well know, Bodybuilders are just mere mortals and will die at some time just like the rest of us, but this Bodybuilder was only 30 years old. He wasn't of the most famous in the world, not even in the world of bodybuilding. He was though an American heavyweight and had won several state titles and he was a top ten player at National level.

He was a muscular guy, about 6ft tall and competed at 265 lbs. He always looked like becoming a top bodybuilder with a great future ahead. When he wasn't training, he would work as a model and he also did some "escort" work, which wasn't too popular with everyone although he was well known for his friendly and helpful manner. Then one day it was all over while he was still at his prime and the same question still arises...Why did an apparently fit and healthy man die so young?

I have been on the bodybuilding scene for a number of years now and since my first contest it is so incredible how the standards of physiques on display have improved. I mean we all know that a 1970 Mr Universe would really struggle against a modern day novice. Every year there is an element of anticipation to see how much freakier bodybuilders have become. Although we have reached such a high standard, we can expect to see even greater muscle displays in the future, or can we?

No one [unless that person is a pessimistic fool] will predict limits to human endeavour, because he [or she] will almost certainly be proved wrong sooner or later. Recently, in 1953 Mt. Everest was climbed for the first time. Prior to that year there had been many attempts to get to the top and many men had died trying. Some suggested that the altitude of 29,000 ft [8,838 m] was just too much and that the peak would remain impossible for ever. Now many go to the top of the mountain every year. It is still not an easy thing to do - people still die on the mountain - but climbers know that it can be done and the mental block has gone.

It's exactly the same with bodybuilding. In not the too distant past you would have been considered as being a super human if you were 6ft tall with a 50 inch chest, but nowadays you wouldn't even consider competing unless you had these measurements. The current pro standard stands at around 60 inches plus and those who are training at the moment to reach a competitive level will be looking at surpassing today's Pros. It's tough and the majority will fail as they consider the time, the costs and the health risks involved.

The difference between a top Pro bodybuilder and the average man in the street has become far greater now than it ever has been. Standards have maximised due to better training, improved nutrition, the better understanding of physiology, pre-contest diet improvements, a better life-style and of course drugs. Each one of these points plays an important role although I would like to consider the drugs aspect.
