Do you know that in 80's is the golden age of bodybuilding?

Training - though integral to one's life and livelihood - revolved around other forms of work and pleasure. Getting big and strong was a lifestyle choice, not a means to gigantic sponsorships, endorsements, fame and fortune. Not for bodybuilders. Back then, most bodybuilders - recreational, amateur and professional - worked out and ate well because they loved it. They lived it. The serious gym junkie competed because it was in his blood, an evolving passion that helped form character and positive self-identity. there was a mental aspect of their bodybuilding philosophy that is unfortunately almost completely overlooked today. This mental dimension of bodybuilding is ultimately what separates an average bodybuilder from a champion bodybuilder. Bodybuilding requires an UTTER BELIEF in yourself, and without that confidence and ego strength, you will never be motivated enough to look your absolute BEST. And lets not forget that back in the 80s there was very little money in this sport. The guys back then didnt do it for money, they did it becouse they loved bodybuilding.

I think supplements played a big part, as they do today.

Some of the supplements they used back in the day have been completely forgotten about, but really they were the most efficient. Amino acids, liver tablets, milk and egg protein, choline and inositol [as fat burners], and of course your basic vitamin and mineral supplements. They used all of these, everything but creatine, which they did not have back in the day. They also took digestive enzymes because, want to be able to utilize the food and supplements. Digestive enzymes provided that for them. They worked, as did protein for recovery, liver for endurance and lots of B-complex, which the body needs to convert all of the foods into energy that the body can use to train harder and build new muscle.
