one thing you can point out is that it is a professional sport, and that not many have jobs outside of bb. in the old days, alot of em had jobs and bb'd.

Yes its a very subjective view :D
the money. The prize money for the Olympia in the 60s was...$1000? Now it's over 100 000. Plus, there are the endorsement contracts.
People used to go into bodybuilding for the glamour, now it's about making money, too.
Having an endorsement contract means that you have to make appearances throughout the year, which means that you have to be close to contest shape more often.
Bodybuilding- at least the training aspect- has also become mainstream. Back in the 60s and 70s, so-called "experts" thought that using weights would make you slower and "musclebound." Now, weight training is an essential component of training for most serious sports.
If I were you, I'd log on to www.ironage.us. Check out the forum, and some of the articles.
Tons of info and interviews with bodybuilders from the 60's, 70's and 80's.
