Golden Era Bodybuilding: Training, Diet, and Inspiration

Question

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to start a thread dedicated to Golden Era bodybuilding — the time of legends like Mike mentzer, Frank Zane, tom platz, oliva and more . The aesthetics, discipline, and old-school training styles from that era still inspire many of us today.

Let’s talk:

Favorite Golden Era bodybuilders and why

Training routines inspired by that era

Diets and meals that worked back then (like steak, eggs, rice, and potatoes)

How we can bring back that aesthetic in modern training

Feel free to share routines, photos, or just nostalgic appreciation. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Stay golden.

Answer

So to start off if it's not obvious my favourite golden era is mike mentzer and it's RL because he brought me out of a bad place of my life with his speeches and books. Not only that but he contributed on the development and popularisation of high intensity training whilst pushing the industry forwards working with nautilus and training athletes like Casey viator and Dorian Yates. May he rest in peace 2001
