-

You won't see physiques like this anymore. Asthetics has gone out the window. Its all a mass game now.
-
good point on the quads, they look better there
-
Being that his right pec was well torn at the time of these photos, I'd have to disagree, unfortunately.

being that you look 3 times worse than him even with a thorn pes I'd say keep on walking

can u imagine how badly he hurts ? ouch ! :-\

Awesome hair.

Don't understand why you need 30 inch quads. While the freak factor is jaw dropping, it looks pretty stupid.
-
the pics I posted are pre torn pec, 1990-92, onswole..
1st pic does seem elongated Kwon..

His proportions look strange in that photo.
Nice physique though, far better than Bob Paris imho
-
didn't Benfatto make a come back a year or two ago?
-
great delts, arms, taper
small waist, tigh sweep, calves, everything had flow and purpose
pre-tear, chest was good too

06 australian pro.

Figo, you’re probably the guy to answer this…
There is some footage of Larry Scott shooting instructional videos with Benfatto - looks like early 80's. I even posted a few clips of said footage on the training board.
Did those two ever work together in some capacity?
Because some of Larry’s “own” exercises seemed foreign to FB, I’m presuming that – at least prior to filming – Benfatto hadn’t trained under Larry’s tutelage.
-
You have to be at least 5'10" to be well-proportioned.

Think late 80's, I dont think they trained together outside of the industry environment, and those Scott exercises (delts, arms) were unusual but they worked for Larry!
I can try find out, I stay in same city as Benfatto, seen him round, but never actually met him. But know people that know him. Would be interesting to talk to him. :)
-
photo from his comeback, close to 50 ..
no one can show this kind of arms, waist and sweep quad.
-

Wow, great physique. Big shoulders and arms, small waist. He would came in 15th place in this era :-X

How old is F.B. these days?
That later photo doesn't look all that old.
BTW - I like your avatar - looks like Freddie Ortiz?
Somebody posted a pic of him standing with his son a while back. Pops definitely passed on some good genetics!

I know he was only 5'5" and weighed like 175 pounds, but he had the shortest upper torso I have ever seen.
-
he's 53 now, not a bad leg to waist ratio :o

I believe he was 52 in these pics.

52 years old? :o :o Looks like he's 30.

I watched him train the first time I ever went to Gold's Venice in March, 1990- he'd hit poses in between sets, and even fully clothed (no homo) looked better than 99% of the guys there. My #2 favorite of all time behind Lee Labrada.

HAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAA, savage owning right there.

Overrated BB because of two major flaws:
He's too short, and his head is too big: all in all, totally out of proportion, although in a different way than today's wide waisted mass monsters.

Nice to see a real arm in that left bicep shot.

That is a tremendous shot. Too bad the current pros don't look like that.

correct
And THAT, is why he never won the Mr O!
-
Great physique.......looks far far better than the slobs of today!!
-
wow......how much did he used to weight contest time?
also how tall was he? 5'7?
-

Wes:
That - to me - is the closest thing to the ideal physique.
IMO, and to a person on the street (who doesn't follow bb), this may be the upper limit of what is considered aesthetically pleasing.
They would almost certainly favor this look over a fridge with arms.
-
Perfection right there.

Did Benfatto ever make any kind of money from bodybuilding?

he does endorsements for supp companies here in south africa, trains people, writes for mags, etc.
he makes money from bbing exclusively, it appears
back in the day, was weider athlete, did supp ads, etc
-
Great physique, but I don't think he should be attempting to make a "comeback"....
Let it go.

Yep.
And Zane was a big fan of Benfatto's physique too. Hows that for an endorsement?!
-

I believe the comeback has been done and he's wrapped it up. He is in his 50's! that kind of shape is unbelievable at that age, never mind going on stage
Placing 6th behind Vince Taylor and Branch, ahead of Dim, at a pro bbing show at 49 is quite something, no?
-
His body now reminds me of Kai's short torso and long arms and legs.

benfatto in the late 80s and early 90s, was bodybuilding personified, he is what a bodybuilder should look like, not the bloated boars of today.

Sad but probably true
