Zane
Ironically I just lift to look big and I'm on permabulk for now, but if I wanted to be aesthetic he would be goal body
he kinda lacked wheels tho
>pic unrelated
ME
faggot
Same here, I would love to be as aesthetic as The Chemist
Crazy symmetry and proportionality he only weighed 84kg on stage, very mild steroid usage
I like dorian, he worked hard as fuck and came from a shitty background. That said ive watched his recent interviews and he's arrogant as hell
So he did pulled that barbell out of the stone
Zane for the aesthetics and Coleman because the dude was amazing and his videos training motivate me a lot
Jay and Ronnie
WHAT'S UP JEFF CAVALIERE ATHLEANX DOT COM
Zane's just too small. Give me Dorian Yates
mike mentzer
Tom Platz, the Golden Eagle.
Shawn ray 99 in the O is literally peak of humanity. Just if he wasnt a manlet
>named the chemist
>mild juice use
cmon brah
His son runs Temple gym in Birmingham. Lewis Yates.
Same. Literally just tried to post this
For me, it's Serge Nubret the most underrated bodybuilder of all time
I dislike bodybuilding but if I had to choose one it's this guy.
the last good era of bodybuilding tbqvh

This Lou Ferrigno guy looked really good
They are not wearing enough for piggyback broskis
Platz was robbed in 81 and 86
The best legs of all time?
>when she takes off your sweatpants for the first time
He was called the chemist because of his BSc, which wasn't even in chemistry.
And he was very light compared to other bodybuilders, the time period would have only allowed for oral dose diannabol which is also mild compared to modern steroids
the olympia is a fucking joke lol
Easily

physique wise, by bodybuilding contest criteria Ronnie at his best was in a league of his own
he's based as a person as well desu
He's slipping these days though. Seeing him promote that fucking ridiculous shrink toning cream on IG and rub it on his fat gut, that really hurts to watch.
Also, working out way beyond what he should after having multiple major surgeries. C'mon Ronnie...
As much as I love Yates, his abuse of the HGH+insulin to produce unaesthetic mass monster look ruined the sport. Even though his gut is tame compared to some of the guys that came afterwards with ridiculous mass but with these huge food-baby guts... it turned off the general public to the sport that are no longer mesmerized by images real life ancient Greek statues like Reg Park, Zane, Menzter or even Arnold. Now they're disgusted by what look like real life Deviantart.com muscle/pregnancy pornart.
Bring back the stomach vacuum.

For what it's worth, I think history will vindicate Tom Platz, his philosophy of bodybuilding as a spirituality, a religion is very inspiring:
When Franco Columbu "won" the 1981 Mr. Olympia, the crowd was booing the competition so hard... Platz was robbed. So much of that was Weider's moronic insistence of making Mr. Olympia into a fucking WWE hero versus villain showdown. And wanting certain "personalities" to win to sell seats.
Exactly dude that's part of the reason I love it
Just the way he talks about body building man. It's true fuckin passion
Bulmp.
big ron
Good ones
For me, it's got to be John Meadows. Basest of ALL TIME.
hes small
Bob Paris is the best body I've ever seen in terms of size, aesthetics and he had some great posing routines.
Melvin Anthony was nice too with that funny dance pose thing.
You got a problem with small guys? I'll have you know that just because I'm a leprechaun doesn't mean I can't kick your ass so hard you'll be seeing rainbows. You get me, lanklet?
its not about height its about width
Well friend, I tell ya', I got width. I'll stretch you real wide. Catch my drift, pal?
Hell yeah
For me, It's Machio-san

The everlasting traps.
Seriously, you gotta admire this kind of longveity.
Same, didn't he compete in powerlifting too?
yup
Tom Platz of abs coming through
Superhuman. Ronnie really is the King
It was inevitable. If it wasnt Yates, it would've been someone else.
I dont like the stomach vaccuum since its inherently genetic, even at 2% bf when i was on stage i couldnt perform it. Even Breon struggles compared to Baumstead, who pulls it off with zero effort.
Bodybuilding was always shit, it's just a beauty pageant for dudes.
Jim Haislop
Jonnie power couple
Manlet with a clit
If you had 2% bf you'd be dead.
Dorian Yates was what made me stop and realize that something had gone wrong in body building. Yes it was rife with roids and other shit before, but Yates, I believe, fucked the sport up.
RIP ED CORNEY
Yeah, he's definitely where it went wrong. I've just seen some videos of him posing without a gut and it's jaw-dropping.
Tbqh I just need to learn more about the Golden Age
Flex Wheeler 1A, Shawn Ray 1B, Serge Nubret 2, everybody else after is a steep drop off.
Steve Reeves
What could've been...
>Tom Platz
>Tom Square
The only dude I’d use the phrase “chiseled like a statue” on. Unreal aesthetics.
Is this possible natty? I'm 2 months into lifting and already have 11" arms!
Just about
>the Golden Age
Despite what the general public may think, Arnold both brought a lot of positive attention to bodybuilding but terribly harmed its very roots. In 1971 he won because he was the ONLY one who showed up, and he given the 1980 Mr. Olympia solely because he was a star, promoter of the event and buddy with Wielder (easily his worst showing having retired for 5 years). And in 1981 the objectively past his prime 40 year old Franco Columbu which looked like dogshit next to the amazing Tom Platz was given the award and what a COINCIDENCE he happened to be Arnold's best friend IRL. The whole crowd booed the spectacle... it was so bad the TV stations refused to televise even an edited event. Arnold was part of it, but so many amazing bodybuilders didn't get the recognition that they deserved because of the Austrian's underhanded backroom bullshit.
Mike fucking Menzter retired at 29 in disgust.
You're not funny at all.
ronnie coleman or Arnold
nah
Interesting. Platz does look great. I am no more than 65% Tom Plays is not posting ITT
>*65% sure that Tom Platz
f*ckin autof*ckincorrect
Frank zane
B&RP
Pretty based
If you want to be impressed by keeping a muscle group over the length of his career it should be legs, they’re usually the first to go and traps have a ton of androgen receptors anyways
Bob Paris had the best symmetry genetics of all time...And he's fucking gay. No son to carry on ;_;
t. Fatty
2% on competition day you dumb fuck
That really sucks desu
Oh, well I like him.
Having 3% or lower of bf seriously increases the chance of brain damage. 2% would be gambling with your fucking life.
'93 flex wheeler. literal perfection.
Incredibly based. I'd argue, better than prime arnold
based
Did you take a dexa scan the day of?
Fucking perfection. What year is this? Is he natty?
The greatest 8 pack there ever was
