Rep Power: Bodyworks is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: when they were younger

interesting point lee. i think our lack of exceptional physiques of late in this country is due to a simple numbers explanation. we have fewer people in this country than the US. of our population, a smaller number begin working out young. a small number of those who start, stick with it. the end result is, a much smaller pool of potential bodybuilders than the US. we do produce the odd freak, (zack kahn, ian harrison, bertil fox) but most are unable or unwilling to do the necessary to match the americans, and so after much early promise, drift away from the sport. i am however, genuinely impressed still by several of the young talents in this country, and i hope to watch their ascent into the pro ranks some day. if they stick with it long enough.
