A unique thing about the world of bodybuilding is the immense level of support the athletes have for each other. Apart from training and taking care of their diet, it is also the motivation from the co-bodybuilders that keeps the fire of getting better ignited in them. The American IFBB pro bodybuilder, also known as X-Man, who stands tall at 6’2 has made a significant presence on stage and online in the sport. With his exceptional X-Frame body, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and flaring thighs, he is still the talk of the town.

Toney Freeman, the legendary bodybuilding icon, took over the internet with his resurfaced picture, being shared on an eminent page on Instagram. Not only were the fans taken by surprise, but it also attracted the interest of an elite bodybuilder, and the comments section became a realm of appreciation. Even the 8X Mr. Olympia champion was left speechless.

In a recent interview, the bodybuilding legend Lee Haney also said that he thinks the bodybuilding world is suffering a loss. Referring to the commercialization of modern world bodybuilding, he said that the state of the sport saddens him now. According to him, the golden era of bodybuilding was the only time bodybuilding was at its peak.

Lee Haney’s take on modern-day athletes

According to the 8X Mr. Olympia champion, in the golden age of bodybuilding, it was a rather passionate sport than what it is in today’s times. He says, “The magic and the mystique — I think it’s been a bit lost….” He thinks that the goal of athletes now is mostly to get famous rather than follow what they truly love, and this upsets him.

Since the advent of social media, Haney thinks things have started to change drastically. He also expresses how he misses his prime days of competing in the Mr. Olympia leagues. He said, “To get back to that, I don’t know. I think it’s gotten a bit too commercialized now.” What is your take on modern-day bodybuilding compared to that of the golden age? And what are your thoughts on the X-Man’s resurfaced picture? Let us know in the comments below!
