does anyone have an opinion on whay so many US (and now eastern european) bodybuilders built such physiques so young??

my own is that they incorporated power training exercises for very early age (early teens) in order to help with american football whereas in our country we dont do that.... i played football and rugby league and the most we did was press ups and the bleep test!!

my theory is that at that early age when the body is developing... forcing it with training to create more muscle size means it reacts by being able to create more fibres etc. etc.

i also think the coaches may have been "supplementing" them as all the young guys at present are good... but simply not at the same level as they were in the shawn ray era... you had 23 year olds coming out and standing almost toe to toe with the best in the world!!
