Looking Back - Blasts from the past

[Tony Doherty]

Watched a qualifier today on channel 5 (in the UK) for the WSM 2013 from Australia,and in a couple of clips the guys were wearing Dohertys gym t shirts.Worldwide fame now Tony.

It is always a buzz to see my brand worldwide. In fact about 20% of our eBay sales are international now. Lately we have been getting a lot of enquiries about doing gyms around the world.

flex was narrow as fuck but compared to heath, his hipbones were even narrower that's why it still looks good

Flex looks like gym rat with years of gh abise showing on face, in a good way.

How tall is he exactly?

Yeah Buddy!

Greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.)

looked/looks terrible

[Sherief Shalaby]

i dont understand how many ppl consider ronnie the greatest of all time with his more than one clear weakness!!.. so the best physique in the history of mankind was with no calves and had gyno??.. abs shape too was not good..

sure his overall package makes him one of the best ever but not the very best or the second best at least..

[Da Freak]

what a fantastic thread! I want more more more!

I GUESS FROM THE SHEER/CONDITIONED.FREAKY MASS...LEGS,CHEST,BACK,ARMS

[macos]

I agree, weird comment.

I meant flex looks goopd now and healthy.
You guys remember a video where ray bashed flex for suggesting to quit bbing after stopping to compete. Sugar ray ended up doing that and wheeler even after all the time in the hospital looks like he still got it in.

Easily , most professional wins and tied for most Olympia wins , duh

this is in case we are talking about the best record not the best physique.. for example jay cutler's career record is much better than flex wheeler's,.. does this mean he his physique is better!!!..

[Tony Doherty]

Let me clear this up before it turns into a full on 200 page debate.

Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder of our time. He took his physique further with size, condition and freaky mass than anyone else. Every other pro I have ever spoken to holds him in awe and agrees that no one else even came close.

I remember interviewing Ronnie in 2005 and i asked him would he or anyone else beat his 2003 version, he just laughed and said, "Nope, not even me"

I remember watching a BSN promo video interview of Ronnie.
Real humble guy when he mentions that god has a place for everyone and how his failure in a lot of other career pursuits led to him becoming a great bber.

wont argue more about this in order not to ruin your good thread but imho the freakiest physique ever is something and the best ever is another thing.. for me the best physique EVER must be at least complete with no clear weak points..

So who ever had no weak points?

You said you couldn't grasp how he is considered the Greatest of All Time , NOT that he has the greatest physique of all time. I definitely don't feel he has the best physique of all time but no denying the record.

so we both agree on the same thing and this saves the thread

i think lee labrada had a pretty much complete physique

no glaring weakness
everything symmetrical and balanced

he will tell you he was small and so.. even if we shall select a huge guy with a freaky condition to be the best ever i see dorian (before his biceps injury) and lee hany both above ronnie.. dorian in 93 was very complete.. lee haney was close to perfection at his very best.. some ppl say his arms and legs were somehow small but i dont see them this way,.. yes a little overpowered by his back and chest but still good and can't be considered real weak points.. same thing can be said about dorian's shoulders and chest being overpowered by his back because we are talking about the best back ever and they still looked good enough to go with it.. these can't be real weak points like in ronnie's case..

[Mr Nobody]

Frank Zane and Samir come to mind as having no glaring weaknesses.

I'd add Bob Paris to this list

Watched your Max Muscle show yesterday on Aurora. Great story on that fella in his 50' , Aussie fella originally from Finland.
Inspirational.

1993 Yates is about as close as it gets.
