Steroids. It allowed bodybuilders to build muscles using a wide variety of methods, hence causing confusion.

Periodization. I’ve been doing the exact same upper workout twice per week with same weights and sets and just doing as many reps as I can and I slowly get stronger. There is no need for a novel stimulus or whatever. Not for me right now. About every 6 weeks or so I get to add 5 pounds.

When people began obsessing about leanness. OP's pic has perfect levels of healthy, athletic, jacked, reasonabel leaness. 15%?Reasonable levels of leaness also make natty bodybuilding possible. Shredded and muscular requires drugs. 15-18% and muscular can be done natty,

It never was. Go read "silver era" literature and they're writing complete bullshit like Gironda claiming to take 40 "liver tablets" every meal or how they all exclusively ate swordfish.

It never stopped being simple. People now will pretend it is more complicated than it is to make videos.Workout all your muscle groups as heavy as you can, try to progress, eat clean food (+ roids if you actually want to look impressive to anyone)
