We all recognize that bodybuilding changed during the nineties. Old school bodybuilders where judged by a balanced, symmetrical and aesthetic physique with great definition . Of course other minor points like tanning and an athletic best stage presence are judged to. During the nineties pro-bodybuilders slowly became mass-monsters and the fans they loved it. To reach these goals pro-bodybuilders were forced to consume large amounts of food and large amounts of drugs and peptides.

Old school bodybuilders wanted to achieve a dramatic v-shape. They wanted a very small waist combined with broad shoulders. To achieve that they trained their core muscles and they also practiced a called “the stomach vacuum exercise”.
