Bob Paris destroying Labrada and Gaspari
« on: June 06, 2008, 02:38:45 PM »
This is the first time I've seen this pic, not sure when it's from, but Paris really dwarfs these two guys here, yet I'm not even sure he ever placed ahead of either one of them.

From this pose he looks way superior.......so why did he never place ahead of them?

Looks like it's from one of the Grand Prix's after the 1988 Olympia, maybe Spain. Those were all won by both Labrada and Gaspari. Paris looks much better there than he did for the Olympia.

I agree, it just blows my mind that the other two are regarded as "legends," and clearly here Bob is making a mockery of them.

Wider shoulders than both, better capped shoulders than Gaspari, better arms and forearms than both, better cuts in legs than both....

Labrada was definitely better than Paris, but I'm not so sure about Gaspari - I think overall Paris had him beat. There's nothing too appealing about Gaspari's physique for me.

i see where you are getting that from. im sure paris's actual shoulder width is greater than both. but hes also taller. he needs to have a greater actual measurement of shoulder width.  but what really determines should width is the shoulder to waist ration... because it does not matter if a guy has a 60 inch shoulders if he has a 50 inch waist.  see what i mean? i kind see what you mean about his shoulder caps (side delts), and i wouldnt argue that paris has slightly better development there. i dont see his arms and forearms as being any better than labradas or gaspari's i think in actual measurement they are very similar... but on a smaller frame with smaller bones labarada's arms  would win that comparison.  paris has cuts in his legs, but they are very narrow... no much "X" to his frame.. more like a "V" on top of a " l "

Hi Labrada.

Haha, ah yes, the old "Hi (insert pro's name here)" joke.

Didn't see that one coming.

Speaking of the "X" frame, Paris also has a smaller waist than Gaspari, who is much shorter...

Paris was one of the few faithful body builders to the IFBB and the Weider empire during all the ups and downs but once he came out of the closet and married his gay lover it was all over for him.
I think being openly gay especially during that time had a lot to do with his bad placings.
In the 1980s the 2 guys I wanted to look like..... Bob Paris and Lee Labrada.
