I'll make what is perhaps an incorrect assumption, but by your username I'll assume you're a metal fan - as am I. Most of the guys in those bands are drunks, drug addicts or both.
You gonna stop listening to the music you love because the participants engage in unhealthy practices?Fill up the syringe...

What is worse: a giant muscle-bound bbing champion, God of a man, dies 5-15 years early of health complications; or giant muscle bound football champion lingers on in dementia and lost motor skills dragging through life forcing loved ones to drain finances and give up their dreams to care for them; eventually dying of health complications?
I think the future of a lot of other professional athletes is a much darker, pathetic one.

There's a million more bodybuilders today than there was 30 years ago. Of course they'll be more bodies.

Many of the above statements seem to be talking quality of life and no one living forever so why don't we see the 80's and 90's bodybuilding superstars still juicing to the gills? We're all going to die and the stuff is safe so why not go out massive and ripped, right?

We don't see guys like Vince Taylor still huge and ripped?
Maybe you need to stop using a minority to make your point. Guys who competed in the 80s would be in their 60s and 70s now and age alone keeps them from carrying more size, not to mention other age related health issues.

Because Life happens and focus shifts. Why carry all that size if you're not competing? Why force yourself to consume all the calories needed to sustain that size if you're not competing? Most guys I know have a HARD time eating enough to stay big. I can only speak for myself, but I know when I'm done I drop some size, cuz its easier to do some of the other things I enjoy at a lighter weight.

Using Vince Taylor as an example would be using a minority to make a point as I don't believe his peers are still "huge and ripped". I have not seen pics of him as of late so I'm not sure to what extent he is at this point. You're right about the 80's and age though. My point being that I'm guessing the pros don't keep their PED regimens post competition due to the health risks. I have to believe that is more the issue rather than because they want to get away from force feeding themselves either.

Then you probably don't understand what it takes to be that big. Most of the larger bodybuilders I know either get tired at times of eating all of the time....or they have eating disorders.
Shit, the money it costs to eat as much as 2 or 3 normal people doesn't grow on trees.
