This article could have been written at any point since 1980. If anything, the past decade has seen an actual decline in gymbro culture and in the sport (yeah, yeah) of bodybuilding specifically. Also, steroids are a lot harder to get than they used to be.

Don’t get big, get dense. There is a 2-3 x power proficiency. Go for twelve rep maxes and intensive pyramid sets when you are ready to transform into a dense durable light weight build.

Don’t forget the cardio.
