Title: Where do you guys rank...
Post by: BiGHer on November 30, 2011, 09:41:22 PM
Shawn Ray on the all-time leader board??  When you watch this posing routine, it's tough to argue that he was nothing short of great...

reminds me of david's boyfriend in 6 feet under.

he's a legit small dude, without steroids I think he is below avg weight for his height, but packed a ton of muscle on his little frame

Man, of all time?  There is a TON of great BBer's but I would put Shawn somewhere in the top ten I think.  Problem with him is he looks GREAT by himself but when you put him next to bigger guys he just get's owned IMO.

1999 olympia. they all had the same kind of look that year. take any clip from that year with those square patterns in the background on the stage display. you know when you see those patterns in the background it was that 1999 olympia.

dexter, ray, ron, flex, cormier, the liar, levrone, they all had the same look that year. tight waists, shredded conditioning.

top 5 all time for sure, no weaknesses really, enough mass to hang with the big guys and stomach small enough to hang with the smaller guys, i cant think of one weak bodypart on him either.

Post by: mesmorph78 on December 01, 2011, 08:56:52 AM
No flaws ...
They called flex sultan of symmetry no this guy is
Arms not to big for body a la Heath ...flex perfect physique just didn't get his due because he was short

Shawn had a cult physique. He and Ronnie were the creme of the crop.

I agree with the above for the most part, but I don't think he ever got OWNED.  I share a similar opinion though.

Very true... a look by the way that I think was the best in bodybuilding.  How many would argue that 1999 may be the best ALL AROUND Olympia ever meaning the most competitive.  Take the top 10 from 1999 and compare to top 10 from other years... tough to beat the 1999 crew... It was like a "Dream Team" of bodybuilders...

God it's hard to rank bodybuilders. Sometimes one should "win" a show but the other looks soooo much better (Levrone vs Coleman, Yates vs Everyone). Here's a try for modern bb's:

Coleman
Yates
Wheeler
Ray/Heath
Cormier/Cutler
Title: Re: Where do you guys rank...
Post by: Swlabr on December 01, 2011, 09:38:55 AM
Haney
Coleman
Levrone
Ray
Yates

Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didnt have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them. Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they d interact with others for the rest of their life.
They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exageratly for attention, and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.


Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in ther male world. They re insecure because they re girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom. They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunaltey they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they dont know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc). They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attemptint to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

There are two different lists,

one is the "oh great physique, I'd like to look like that, looks amazing" with a great waist

the other is the "fucking monster, huuuuuuge" with a monster gut

Shawn Ray is at the top 5 of the first one.

This is kinda funny and kinda true but raises the question... which category do you place Heath in?

It's called Bodybuilding, not Midgetbuilding for a reason. But seriously, best little dude of all time...but short guys look less impressive and BB is all about the 'illusion'....was a big fan until I logged into getbig and found out what a POS he is.
