I see little point to that long dribble of a post and what's there is completely moot, you can only be judged against the contemporaries of your era.

If 60s-70s heavies had access to the drugs, nutrition and training methods of today then they'd be as 'big' as guys today. What? You thought athletes being larger today is down to evolution?

The fact that you're even trying to compare guys who trained using half a century old sports science and nutrition (we'll ignore PEDs *cough* Vitali) to what we have TODAY says it all.
