The only problem you forgot man - is that Arnolds vacuum would've gone (due to use of AS of our days) and that would destroy his proportions. That's what I think Gunter misses mostly and that's why he ain't getting higher ranks.

Tighten up them bellies, pros of present days.

Thanks for great pics and comparisons.
My heart is in the era of Pumping Iron, Total Rebuild and etc.
Arnold, Zane and Graham - my favourite conestants.

Enough said.

No kidding, not to mention that the bulk of that extra 50lbs on Arnold's frame would go to his legs, which were lagging badly compared to his upper body.

Oh mate, waht a great thread!!! Keep up high work!!! I love them. I think Arnie is the master of all time. Franco's chest was crazy, ****ing brilliant defined... Haney was last champion of old-era. I love that times more that nowadays (talking about BB :p)... well, I LOVE Ronnie's biceps... most defined ever. What do you think about Segio?? I think one of the best ever, I really LOVE LOVE LOVE his most muscular. Amazing, ****ing amazing.... and Lou's... :p

Important question, how where measurements of Sergio in top shape?? Tnx a bunch 4 replying.

One request.... could you upload a most-muscular comparation between ARNOLD, FRANCO, LOU, RONNIE, SERGIO and HANEY??? I will tnx you throught the rest of my life.


Tnx and cya m8s!

They weren't lagging badly at all. They were as big as he wanted them, and as big as they needed to be to compete with the best of that era. Standards are just different now, and I personally think that the legs of today are too big. I'd rather have leaner legs and a tight midsection than tree-trunk thighs and a bloated gut.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

for the second pic between Arnie and Ron .. Arine has it on Ron in everything except his legs .. they're look like a chicken legs compare to Ronnie

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

got a ton of seperation tho ehy
i love seeing anrold poses it looks like hes not even trying at all just as if his muscles all contract with no effort!
i really like the flex / serge comparison

[PUMBA]

Great job bro, is that Matt Mendanhall (most awesome guy not to qualify for pro card) next to Haney doing the Lat spread.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

what about back double biceps ?? .. what do u think he is got it ?

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

no pumba thats jeff king in 1983. wow his legs are fantastic

muscleHed id go with ron
im never been a fan of dorian, sergio is the only one who could catch him with mass but u cant see a christmas tree nor just quite the amount of detail as ron
you wanna go one by one? well for the main-er ones anyhow
FDB
i choose arnold i like his leg definition the really broad wide chest added to it by his arms and his vaccumm (spelling)

[Blond Bomber]

I think most of the picutres dont do justice to Ronnie. As if Arnold Could take Ronnie. Sorry but im a skeptic on these pictures.

Jeff King great 80's pro

[canablistic_Turnip]

But I agree with you Matt should of been a pro

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

sorry BB i still think they are good pics anyway think it'd be pretty darn hard to get all these guys #1 shots togther but dun matter
as for the side tri id do wth lee
whta do u think about the sergio arnold MM comparison?? sergio looks like a turtle or smth!
also who do u think is best from the "virtual posedown" pic id def say the 1st ronnie pic he looks great
sorry zaney boy

[preist943]

wow what a job on the pics . I tink Dorian takes everything he is in

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

i like dorian in that 4th pic with the relaxed backs he just looks so powerful from there im not much of a fan or rons Y taper but dorian looks great in that

[preist943]

I hear ya Ronnie seems to have high lats. Dorians are thick and full from top to bottom . Also dorian is way way better at the diet ,nobody gets dry and grainy like him.

[philosopher]

great post bro..

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

what do u think about the haney coleman FLS comparison i think its awesome to see striations comming up from the bottom of the chest!

[f1ex]

great comparisons! Arnie & Dorian's chests are probably the best ever when doing a front double biceps. Dorian's back is by far the most powerful looking ever

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

lol nice to hear comming from a good ol' elglish boy! lol
look at dorians left bicep in the FDB his inner head looks huge!


what is ur opinion of flex and serge?
i think its a great way like flex's bdy looks so "youuthful" by comparison to serge who i think shows that "old man muscle" which just gets better and more refined.
and flex looks like axel foley aka eddie murphy in that pose lol

Yea but still i beleave arnold has been buffed up in most of the pix.
1. His arms was at his best 52cm and they look as big as Ronnies even tho he has 60cm.
2. Garry strydoms sholders looks streched. He was Mr.lines but in my eyes he wassent all that mass.
3. I beleave Arnold was about 6.2 and 230 at his best (feel free to correct me). And ronnie if it is 2001 was 5.10 ~ 5.11 at 260 lbs considerably more ripped. Now i know that lines and waist to sholder ratio has allot to do with the illution but i still beleave that someone has been tampering with these pictures.

What do you guys think?

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

i just copied them from where i got them i wouldnt know how to taper if u paid me
however there were 2 pics there where the body was "enhanced" to what was thought it could possibly look like 30 40lbs heavier etc ill post them up later ging to bed now

[f1ex]

Flex is probably the most naturally gifted BB ever - shame he didn't use the Arnold calf training regime though

[big_DuuuDE]

Really shows how we've moved from the gay-loving 'y' frame to the 'X' frame.
The only thing Arnold and the 70's & 80's generation could take Ronnie on is the vacuum.

I like the Lee Priest V Larry Scot comparison.
