this guy defined the word perfection..he was like a bigger version of lee haney with bigger arms and a smaller waist..how the hell he never won an olympia is just beyond me..27inch waist line is just awesome..fuckin amazing
-
That waist to shoulder ratio is sick! A shame no other bodybuilder has been able to emulate it since. Shawn probably came close but I can't think of anyone else.
-
Unbelievable.
JP Fux came close though.
-
Those look like they have been photoshopped.

these pics are 100% real..just watch some his posing routines..his waist line was tiny

They do look photoshopped, amazingly though, they're not.
Back in the day, I saw pics of this guy that were the same, hard to believe!

It doesn't look like he knew squat.

heres brian buchanans posing at mr olympia 88/89... :o
-
It doesn't look like he knew squat.
When a guy is that big and has a 27' waist squatting is more dangerous than it's worth from what I understand, he just wasn't made for it. Funny you siad that cause that's what they used to say in the mags all the time.
I used to have the 88..or was it 87 por world on tape from ESPN and Brian was mindblowing there...totally incredible to see, he never really got into that kind of shape again but it made your jaw hit the floor.
he did a cool cover for ironman where they made it look like he was a statue...very cool.
-

Perhaps thats why he retained the 27" waist.
-
BEST shape of Brian was in Mr O 89. He was really good but he didnt have legs and muscle hardness. If he owned both, he could be a mr.O.
-
Brian could squat he was very powerful but the muscle just above the knee let him down. he has a westindian food stall in islington still looks huge and doesn't even train any more. one of the nicest guys you could meet
-
how can you admire his waist and yet be on 'team cutler'
cutler is as blocky as they come
-
actually, his waist looks too small.

That is one awesome magazine cover!!

This fellow is a prime example of what a V-taper, christmas tree look should be

Ironman covers really displayed some creativity in the late 80's/early 90's

As I stated at this thread :
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=108131.msg1566173#msg1566173 (http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=108131.msg1566173#msg1566173)
He is arguably the most underrated physique in history. I'm really glad that so many other people know about this guy. Nope, those photos aren't photoshopped, he was just that damn good.
SERGIO!!!!!

Brian was a great competitor his main problem was size , he competed at just 210 pounds at 5'10" is taper help create the illusion of being bigger but his legs really hurt him , he had a world class upper body but his lower wasn't on par , he was damn impressive none the less. here is Brian at the 1988 Mr Olympia
-
A true freak, if only he had the lower body to match the upper body.
-

Hi ZachG_85.

Hi ZachG_85.
Hahahahaha........ Read my mind.

I think the dozen other "brian buchanan" threads were good enough.
-

I agree... they are real.
-
;D Brian looks like a buffed up Eddie Murphy looool! I think he resides in Australia now.
-
If Sandows were awarded due to incredible upper body development [all things considered], then Buchanan would have won several Sandows.
Unfortunately, wheels are the other half of a complete package and Mr. Buchanan lacked in that department; not by a huge margin, but lacked nonetheless.
As for the pics, they are real!
Awesome physique!
-
seeing him in the gym in person was pretty freaky!
-

What do you mean, all black people look like Eddie Murphy, in fact I saw him like 4-5times yesterday on my way to the D.M.V.
-
It was said on here that Brian used to squat with some huge weight, and that there pics showing him squatting some "sizable change".
-
.
awsome cover.

He lives in London. Has a Carribean food stand at Chappel Street market in Islington.

Like a portable fast-food effort, or a fixed structure?

Brian

Again

Like a kiosk (with walls and a roof) but it is only there during market days, so it must have wheels or so.

this guy was awesome, i saw him guest pose like maybe 15-20 years ago in a little gym in mona vale in sydney australia. best $10 i ever spent.

i'm a fan of Brian B but how can you say he was like a bigger version of Lee Haney...Lee owned this guy when it came to size...Lee made him look tiny on stage...Brian was less then 210 pounds and Lee was just under 250...Brian had an incrediable structure but his size was more of an illusion...Lee Haney was no illusion...The guy was massive...
