A vid showing the man who owns the freakest small waist of all time.
-
That thing is ... Brian was fucking huge as a teen, too ! Where's crownshep when you need him ?
-
waist is TOO small, he looks deformed
-
Posing to Dark Side of the Moon! That is all kinds of aces. And that last shot he holds, where is his waist? :o
-

It was actually smaller, there were pics posted when he competed in Britain and had to have a a pin on his posing trunks because they were too big.
If he had bigger legs and guns, it would have really showed off his taper.

Alledgedly, Flex Wheeler claimed a 27 inch waist. I think that was when he first tunred pro. He has the same type of physique that Brian b. had. As does Melvin Anthony, and Jojo Ntiforo, who is from Ghana.
The problem their physiques (Flex, Melvin) is that they turn to shit when they get bigger, and they lose their conditioning. Their genetics call for being lighter than the mass monsters, but Melvin seems not to realize that.

ONe of the first users to play around with Plazmosis...Its what kept his waist that small...

Has Melvin ever been truely shredded?
As in striated glutes?

That's what happens when ecto-morphs get big they keep those tiny joints and narrow waist , however most have narrow clavicles as well , I wouldn't doubt Flex waist was that small at the beginning , Sergio had supposedly a 29" waist but he's almost pure mesomorph
Ronnie had a super tiny waist like Brian when he was first starting out we all know how that turned out
-

Yeah, we sure do know how that turned out ... many Olympia TITLES later. ;)
Come on, ND ... I'm not a Ronnie fan ... but cut the man some slack for christ sake. He had a pretty damn good Bodybuilding career.
-
Ronnie looked beautiful at those lighter weights.
I can believe B. Buchanan had a 27" waist, at least when he did a vacuum. But I can't believe Flex Wheeler had such a small waist, when he turned pro or even years before. If that were true, his legs should be bigger than his stomach.
-
Small waist is good. But small legs are not good.
-
Flex never had a taper like this
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2r5titi.jpg)
-
so he had a waist reducing surgery?

No one is arguing about his career just how small his waist used to be and how large it became , his waist was wasp like and flat at one point
-
Small waist. All the way, small waist.

Sadly for Bodybuilding, Brian is now making a living in a small shop in London and is a very FAT 19/20 stone!

he had an awesome back too

Brian at 18.
Then at 19 when he guest posed before the Britain final.

Winning the Britain in 1983 when his trunks had to be pinned at the side because his waist was 27 inches.

Here`s a series of pics i posted of his 4 year progress from the age of 16 to 20.

-
Someone that lives in London should go to his shop and take recent photos.
-
I like how he actually holds his poses.

One bber that apparently had upper legs that were larger than his waist, was Bob Paris.

I would say branch warren also, while doing a vacuum, And probably toney freeman also
-
Thanks Crownshep for the pics ... I figured you still had them. Man, he looked insane !!! :)

I find Paris hard to believe.
Now Dillet. There's a dead cert.

This is just a pictorial timeline of 4 years in the competitive career of Brian Buchanan,just to show the incredible progress he made.The first pic is him at age 16 in the Junior Mr South East Britain show and placing 2nd.
-
Then still at 16,placing 7th in the Junior Mr Britain.
-
One year later at 17 winning the Junior South East.
-
Another shot from that show
-
One year later at 18 winning the Junior Britain,Brian is in the middle above the letter "A".
-
Then he had quite possibly the biggest improvement growth wise of anyone to be 19 and guest posing looking like this.
-
A few weeks later he placed 2nd to Ian Dowe in the Mr Britain.
-
And one year later at 20 he won the Mr Britain title.
-
Imagine if he came back to compete at a Master event :o. He has be what, about 40+?
Somebody needs to get him at a expo booth. He had the freakest taper, and will go down in history as that (well there is that Frenchman that Serge is training--his pics were posted here). Imagine him at a Arnold Expo in shape, not bodybuilding shape, but in shape...
-
He`s 46 now Parker,the same as me.See the pic above when he placed 2nd to Ian Dowe,the black guy on the left end is Vince Brown and both were 19 at the time and still young enough for the junior class.Boy,did i pick a good time to compete in the juniors. ;D
Vince had already won the Mr Nottingham at age 18 as well as the junior class,and i`ve still to this day never seen anyone gain as much size as Brian and Vince did from 1981 to 1982.
-
Yeah, we sure do know how that turned out ... many Olympia TITLES later. ;)
Come on, ND ... I'm not a Ronnie fan ... but cut the man some slack for christ sake. He had a pretty damn good Bodybuilding career.
the thing is, Ronnie held on to the tiny waist even at 257 pounds: that was the pinnacle right there.
after that it was all downhill. in 2000 he was massive but with a huge waist too.
check out 1999, the year ND fears the most.

I really don't see a flaw in that physique.
Most say his legs are too small- I don't see it in that shot...maybe down the road when the rest of him got bigger, but not there. They seem to be "just right."
His arms- never ever saw that one. I think his arms (aside from his waist) are maybe his strongest body part.
-
Upper body not too dissimilar to Lee Haney.

Tiny waist he says LMFAO
1999 is not Ronnie's best by any stretch
-
terry fisher was a very good BB
i believe he won a NABBA universe or world in the 90's??
-
Tiny waist he says LMFAO
no, I don't 'say'
reality says. I just show the pics and prove you wrong like I always do.
ronnie's waist was a shade bigger than flex's but he outweighed him by more than 30 pounds. thats pretty damn impressive.
even an idiot like yourself must agree..
-
fact is, ronnie's proportions didnt change much from 95 to 99.
see for yourself:
cue the excuses for ND. ::)

Ronnie's waist while in a POSE, was small. But as you can see in the screencaps that ND posted, Ronnie lets his waist hang out too often.
I remember on one of the last (if not THE last) ESPN broadcast of the Olympia, Cory Everson was talking about Ronnie and his size while combined with his then small waist. She said "It's always amazed me how that teeny-tiny waist of his can hold up all that mass."
Then the next year Ronnie came in with a huge gut...I think he said it was because he carbed up on baby food. The next year the excuse was he drank an entire gallon of water because he wasn't feeling good before one of the rounds in the contest....that's when I noticed Ronnie losing that humbleness he had at the beginning.

1998 Night of Champions, Brian Buchanan

Again his waist was narrow but don't confuse a narrow waist with a gut because he had both , his gut insane partly because of his short torso among other things , Flex never showed a gut onstage like Ronnie ever his abdomen was totally flat and Ronnie's well his was pronounced
-
ND fuck off gatecrashing every thread with your attention whoring arguments. fuck off , c.unt

ND fuck off gatecrashing every thread with your attention whoring arguments. fuck off , c.unt
Again how was a gatecrashing ? I was sticking to the topic and provided pics even mentioned Ronnie was Brian like at one time in his career , you're off base on this one.
-
I like how he actually holds his poses.
thats exactly what i thought too!
good eye!
-
fuck me,, not many 19/20yr olds able to match that physique, built with old fashioned steroids, no growth, no slin etc
-
Anyway,keeping it on topic,and hoping just for once Ronnie pics stay out of at least one thread.
Look at the cover shot of Brian in 1983,and think of how Haney looked in 83 when he placed 3rd in the Olympia.To me,Brians lat spread is as good as Haneys from 83 and his double biceps is way better.The biggest mistake Brian made is not going over to the EFBB in 83,he would have won the British and the Worlds and been eligible for the 84 Olympia.Now Haney in 84 versus Brian would have been interesting.

Thanks for the photos Crown, Brians physique is very similar to haney. I had forgoten just how good Bri was.
Superb.

Sorry to hear about that,Sulby would have only been about 47-48 year old.Are you from the UK then,and if so,what area.

hig guns were quite huge

1988.. 8)
I went to the 1988 Grand Prix in Nottingham with my training partner at the time Linkie Wilson,he used to compete against Brian and they were good friends.We bumped into Brian before the prejudging and Linkie asked him what the difference was in training in the States compared to here in the UK,and Brian said "they`ve taken 15 pounds off me,but i look 15 pounds bigger",so Linkie asked him what he weighed at the moment and he said 215 at 5` 10".

You from Nottingham Crown? I know Linkie was from there ( I think lol)
-
Yeah,i moved there in 1987 from Mansfield,it was great training back then,you had Linkie,Vince Brown,Shaun Davis,Owen Neil,Rocky Foster,Roger Bartley,Kenny Clarke,Paul Delahay.Seeing as how you`re from Wales,whatever happened to Grant Thomas,how come he never competed when he got his pro card.

I know Grant pretty well, although i have not seen him in a while - last time i was talking to him about 2-3 years ago he was looking pretty good and talking about a comeback. We talked at length about his chapter in the John Hotten book ''Muscle''.
He was training at Peak Physique in Cardiff but not sure what he is upto at the moment. He did compete as a pro in the New York night of the champs (1999 or 2000) but i think he got a bit disheartened with the sport. He placed 16th but should have been top ten.
By the way, thats like a who's who of British BB in the late 80's you named there. Very good BB's.
-
:o :o :o :o :o
-
i think Charles Clairmonte deserves a mention in this thread..a much better, more complete physique..
-
:o :o :o :o :o
Damn. Is that real?
-
Brian at the 82 Britain when he placed 2nd at age 19.The guy second from left is Vince Brown,also aged 19 who placed 3rd,just look at his taper.
-
27" waist in shape at 210 pounds and I thought his arms were pretty good
this proves that there is a "too small waist" in the world of bodybuilding
-
Ronnie had a super tiny waist like Brian when he was first starting out we all know how that turned out
yes, it brought him a few Mr. Olympia's
it looked like this up until he got to 260 pounds or so:
-
Just fuck off man and take your Ronnie pics to your truce thread
meltdown
-
I met Brian when he was out in Australia in the 90s, great guy.He lived there for a few years on the central coast owned a gym there. Grant Thomas i havent seen in Years, ran into him in a gym in Splott is it just outside of cardiff back years ago.Was after the failed NOC attempt seemed a bit lost then.
-
Where too?
I live in London and will call in on him?
Chapel Market in Islington (5 min walk from Angel station), but haven't been there in ages, so no guarantee his stand is still there
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel_Market
-
just my opinion but buchanan's lower torse looks a cunthair too small....
on a related topic, someone posted a picture of this guy on here a few weeks ago, i dont know who he is, but....sick fucking taper.....eapecially for a white guy.
-

This shot is incredible! A vacuum pose in the front double Bi's.
BTW I know his legs were not great but they are not that bad.
