Inspiring because it shows the passing of the torch between the bodybuilding champions I already know and idolize. At the same time, it does not romanticize everything because it also acknowledges the physical risks and sacrifices that come with pushing the human body that far.
It also feels prophetic in a way because some of the things they could only say “maybe” about back then actually became reality today: online coaching, bodybuilding becoming more widely televised and accessible, and the shift from prioritizing symmetry to chasing increasingly ridiculous levels of size.
