How bout some of the non-pro, smaller type physiques that may or may not be more acceptable to the general public?
And Newman at his best.
-
Gotta agree with just about all the physiques posted so far. Gonna add Sagi Kalev to the list.
-
There's some good lookin physiques right there. (no homo)
-
And don't forget this guy...
-
And believe it or not, Jocelyn Pelletier back in the day...
-
Strydom, paul-jean guilleme, samir bannot. Yeah, I'm no gifted speller ;D

Fuck I can't believe I forgot Benfatto (sp?)...
LOL @ Nassole being on the list.. ::)
-
Reeves, Park, Schwarzenegger, Zane, Paris, Draper to name but a few.
Unfortunately, at my height and weight I am unable to look anything close to these gentlemen. For me, Reeves and Park represent greatness in true physical culture.
-
Men in thongs, posing for other men.
-
Damn, dude, Benfatto was sick :o
Maybe a little too sick? Looks 100% but lacks "swole"-ness

Yep, Mike Francois, may have been a bit blocky...but the fucker, again like JOJ combine PL (and Ronnie to some extent) with bodybuilding and had great results...And he wasn't a bore...sure he almost or did go into the seminary...and probably would not have gotten sick had he not got into bbing, but you could see that he was passionate about it.

well lucky for us he never went to seminary; instead he embarked on such an intense program of ergogenic aids.......that he almost killed himself in a few short years

This is one of my favorite Paris shots.

Indeed!!

Some more of Paris -- the ideal physique imo.
-
paris was smart guy but his body is overrated
i dont like his weird midsection for example , so many better 200lbs physiques out there
don t know why hes legend?
ideal (better say optimum) to me in case of pro in contest shape would be white 1998 ronnie coleman with strydoms abs rolley winklaars tris and dillets calfes and maybe bob paris' had on his shoulders
maybe you can discuss who had the one or other "best bodypart" but ronnie had the best structure to beginn with
(cavilces could have been 1-2 inch wider)
and still than it would be just 75percent of perfection

Ronnie's structure is no means the best.
-
it is !
show me a better one with a better bone structure and denser more swept muscle bellies (no not narrow flex wheeler)

density and muscle sweep have nothing to do with structure , you already admitted Ronnie's clavicles aren't wide enough this negates the word perfect
This is the best structure for bodybuilder ever seen in my opinion
6'1" with a 29' waist , super wide clavicles , insane taper , small joints , perfect muscle balance & proportion this is the archetype of what the perfect base should be.

Ronnie's structure was nothing impressive at lower weights. Paris kills him. Ronnie lacks the structure, shape and flow to compete aesthetically with the Zanes, Reeve's, Wheelers.

Anyone remember Brian Bucannon? The dude supposedly had a 25-26 inch waist.

according to him 27" at 210lbs in contest shape
-
27 inch waist at 210 is damn impressive! But it seems that some "experts" thought that his waist was actually too small, if that's possible? Another small waisted guy was Paul-Jean Guillume
-

27-28 I believe him

Not sure if you`ve heard of my old training partner Linkie Wilson,but he was good friends with Brian,and at the 1983 NABBA Britain thats the measurement that Brian told him,27 inches,he had to have his trunks pinned in so they would fit.This is a pic from that show.
-
And he supposedly used to squat with a sh!tload of weight, so there goes the myth of heavy squats causing a thick and blocky waist...
-
Brian had great shape all around, but his waist was actually TOO small IMO...
And I agree...as far as structure goes, it doesn't get much better than Reeves!
-

I just don't get it .

i agree,
he was gifted bodybuilder
but his waist was SO small, it looked freakish..........like he had his torso substituted with the torso of an 8 year old boy........it just looks structurally unsound

Exactly. As I said, I think Brian had great structure overall. Even his legs would have looked very good if he trained them harder and added more size. But that wasp waist was TOO small. Actually looks photoshopped, lol! Can't think of any other bodybuilder I can say that about! Flex had just about the perfect taper, IMO.
-
(http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/images2/ironman_zabo.gif)
Zabo had great abs, but was pretty much the opposite of Brian...hardly any taper at all.
As an aside, Zabo was a great guy with a good sense of humor. Fondly remember bullshitting with him and Eddie at World Gym back in the day...PIP...

That's cool, I think he's actually got the look I'm going for. He seems to have a wider pelvis or something, I think him and I have a smiler god given build.
-
As far as one's waist being too small, do you think The Myth's waist was too small? In his early days (the early 70s) it seemed that just one of his thighs was bigger than his waist
-
Sergio's waist was plenty small, but not as small as Buchannon's...
-
the two opposites. most freaky and most beautiful. both still symetrical.

Telling BB that his waist was too small for bodybuilding is like telling John Holmes that his cock was too big for porn ::).

Maybe so man, but just don't tell dat to these shredded sub-6% bodybuilders nowadays with their 40+ inch waists ;D

Surprised no one has mentioned an 82-83 Samir Bannout.
One of the most ideal bodybuilding physiques. There's the right amount of mass
and the guy looked great from any angle. He also had some standout bodyparts too
like his back, triceps and chest.
1st photos are from his facebook page...

Samir looks awesome.

Scale that up to go on a 6'-4" frame and you're good to go.

yeah, he had a wide waist, non round muscle bellies, lacked triceps...the only thing he has in common with Flex is the double biceps shot and that thong he's wearing.

Have you had a cock inside you anywhere the size of Holmes. What is the largest you have had. Do you think Goodrum is attractive

How could we forget Lee Haney, one of the best and ideal physiques.
He needed better and thicker arms in my opinion, but other than that he was close to perfect.

serge yes
levrone no way too blocky, chest too small and no taper
-
bob paris is vastly over rated. something about his torso makes him look odd.
if your a white guy, this is probably the best you can hope for in terms of the combination of symmetry and musculature.
and i'd say for the most part attainable with enough time, dedication, supplements and genetics of course.

dennis newman looks great on this pic
sad this cancer thing, could have been a great BB for years

Dennis looked great for sure, and he was a good looking guy (no homo). All he needed was a bit smaller waist, more biceps peak, and a thicker chest, and he would have looked about perfect...
