Recently everyones arms see "watery" if not "oily". Go back the the 80's and early 90's and arms were MUCH drier and crisper.
Besides bigger guts, I would say this smooth arm syndrome (SAS) is what makes todays bodybuilders inferior the champs of the past.

Well Ronnie still has awesome biceps but his triceps suck , he used to have striations but he can't get them that sharp anymore , I would say in mid 90s was the highlight of the conditioning but split biceps and striated triceps are genetic , so no matter how lean you get if its not going to happen its not going happen , check out this pic of Dean Tornabene from the 80s , sick triceps.

Darrem Charles tricep is ripped but lack of size

what? Darrem's arms are some of the biggest in the business, personally next to Preist i think he has the best arms in the sport.

Ya, the drugs seem to increase size but remove some of the density seen in the old days.
-
perhaps now everyones arms r so big they lack detail due to there swollen size

I think its cool that the reigning Mr. O. has ripped tris and split bis.
With the last few Mr. Olympia winners, they had great physiques but their arms were always looked down upon (Haney and Dorian).
-
Ronnie is plain and simple a genetic freak. After watching Blood and Guts over again last night, I think it would be downright scary if Yates had Coleman's genetics
-
Ronnie has triceps?
-
Priesty has amazing shredded triceps, when lee is dieted down the groves in his triceps are deep enough to grate cheese with !!!!!

he used to-check out the pic. However, in 05, his triceps were down in size.

It wasn't their arms that were looked down upon it was the biceps , Haney has striated tris and Yates did some what when he was lighter but both had awesome triceps , and Dorian had great forearms.
-
Yeah thats what Iam talking about !!!! Preist,s arms start to look like that at about 8 weeks out, also up close you can see sirrations in his biceps as well !! , its freaky good!!
-
Haney's arms look puny. Exactly why he and Yates were good but not superstars.
-
Yates has the best side tricep shot of all time. How you can achieve that with shit arms, I do not know
-
Of all time-sure pal...he wasn't in the top 5 arms even in the contests he won, including triceps.
Great density and conditioning, weak arms..

When you say he has weak arms it shows you have zero clue on what you're talking about , Yates had among the best triceps in the sport and among the best forearms , to say any part of arm was " weak " is nonsense , his biceps were good , certainly not great but by no means poor , stop being melodramatic.

again, I have said this before and ND can't seem to grasp it:
The fact that yates had good triceps and forearms (but only okay biceps) is MEANINGLESS because they all FIT TOGETHER POORLY, which gives a weak looking effect:
(http://www.schwarzenegger.it/mro/yates/dy128.jpg)
you can't partiton the arm into individual parts, you have to look at the whole complex.
And with Dorian, the complex was a weak spot, revealed time after time.
-
Overall the arms are thick but size is mediocre. This guy probably thinks Columbu had great arms too. ::)
-
Except the year he was given the Olympia with one bicep, a torn quad, and holding more water than a pool. You might not like who Shawn Ray is, but he won that Olympia in his best shape ever, and had incredibly thick arms.

Oh yes and Ronnie weak calves fit perfectly with his overdeveloped quads ::) get the fuck out here kid , seriously , if thats the case every pose is ruined because of Ronnie's weak calves , and medicore biceps can be hidden weak calves CANNOT !! like Arnold stated in the Encyclopedia of bodybuilding weak calves ruined the whole effect of any back pose reguardless if how great the back may be.

we are talking about arms, not calves in case you missed it.
And secondly, arms are much more important in terms of the judging than calves are.
always have been. always will be. so your argument doesn't hold up in terms of competitive bodybuilding.
Yes, technically every bodypart should hold equal weight.
But they don't. Deal with it.

Check this !!
He's like 20 there!!

Andreas deserved to win the 1993 Night of Champions. He was robbed. (he placed second to Porter Cottrell).

since al beckles retired

good o'l porter cottrell....i have an issue of flex with him in his fireman uniform....looks more like a playgirl mag...

Once again you couldn't be any more wrong , purely from a judging standpoint poor calves would hurt you in more poses than biceps , and the difference is Dorian didn't have poor biceps , Ronnie has poor calves , poor calves can be seen in every single mandatory pose , so strictly from a competitive bodybuilding standpoint weak calves are a liabilty compared to medicore biceps.
-
Lee Priest's arms look like comic book arms in that shot.
-
Fuck that shot watch his DVD another blonde myth he arms are insane , biggest & best ever pound for pound !!

Really?....................You don't consider MISSING HAVE OF YOUR LEFT BICEP as having poor Bi's ? And to be honest, they were nothing special in the first place.
-
Lee is awesome. I have seen pictures of him next to Dexter Jackson though and Dexter is bigger overall and their height difference is next to nothing. Pound for pound Lee is considered one of the biggest guys but Dexter is overlooked... not overlooked as one of the greatest bodybuilders today but as one of the biggest guys for his height.
-
Dennis James has awesome full shredded arms....don't you agree?

Since this guy died
Andreas was one scary SOB. People always use the term razor or paper thin, shredded or whatever but look at those striations.....Guy never fluctuated more than 20 lbs in the offseason....
Damned tragedy
-
Dexter has better muscle quality & shape than most including Lee.
James is impressive but also gross & squat.
Muntzer wasn't that impressive considering what he was taking. Trying too hard.
-

No I meant his biceps before the tear and his bicep after the tear was short and would only hurt him in the front double bicep shot .
-
I imagine it's because they started testing for diuretics in the 90's due to all the medical issues popping up over them.
Would have been bad publicity to have a guy kill over on stage..

God when will you stop posting that pic to support your argument for haneys triceps. Yes theyre sharp but everyones are at competition bodyfat. Thats it. Theyre not big, well rounded (like a horsehoe) and have poor shape. Stop it now

Ronnie was no slouch in the gym!

woa that is some serious hardness, what do you think he did to get that way?

Body-builders nowadays are aware of the dangers of excessive diuretic and oral abuse so they're backpedaling with the amounts hence less ripped physiques are seen.
Also, the look sought after right now is pumped up comic look like Phil Heath, so insulin and GH abuse is up taking away the ripped conditioning.
