How was Chick over rated? It took him years to turn pro and his best win was at the Masters unless I'm forgetting something.

Shawn Ray? He is a tool but as far as bodybuiding, he was damn near perfection

Lee Priest? I wouldn't say overrated.

Bob? Overrated by what standards? He was not perfect but i don't remember him dominating contests, so how the fuck is he overrated.

I think you are fucking retarded.

physique is joke when you compare it to haney, yates, coleman and even heath.   4-2 as Mr O but should be 3-3, given Heath clearly beat him in 2010.  the judging criteria was changed to facilitate his wins. how did a quad flex become the standard for MrO over a great back  ???

Yet you ask the top guys about Flex---and they'd disagree.
He was never over-rated due to not winning the O, using that logic, so was Shawn and Kevin.
And lazy, well he could have put more effort into the 98 O. Arrogant---so are most bbers.

Sorry to insult your hero ::) kev, ray were all better what I meant was the Olympia was practically handed to him, yet he didn't get the job done. Chris clearly beat him in 99

Most pros at one point use oil. Synthol whatever u want to call it bu Nasser and flex took it to another level.. Plus flex had one good year arguebly 93, that's it!

Actually, you didn't insult him, you never made an argument...
Flex's best years-93, 97,98, and one can include 99 and 2000, but I won't because he went to far with the oil...Flex had a issue after his 94 car accident. And he came back from breaking his neck in two places to win the 95 Ironman and come 2nd at that yr's Arnold. That's a feat in itself...but, Flex was broken...and instead of taking incremental jumps in weight later on, he tried to play Ronnie's game, and Chad encouraged him...Flex doesn't/didn't have the bone structure for it. Plus, he mentally didn't think he could win, sabotaging himself...
If anything, he needed a life coach...his best Pro yr was 93, and like Phil and many others (Branch) his best look was his Rookie look. His best two yrs was 92 and 93.
Chris had his issue with Flex, he said he couldn't get past---or beat Flex's mystique...this was said at the 2000 Arnold---Flex won, Chris was second...Chris was just coming into his own...and he is another one---partying, drugs, he could have won the Arnold in 2000. And when he lost to Jay twice...

agree with the first one..

how people dont see his blocky legs, his less than average biceps, and lack of pec thickness is beyond me.

he has two great poses..back double bi and the most muscular..his side tris is good too..

but he's no levrone..not even close...

perfection?...hardly.

He looks like a bodybuilder contrary to them but he is still one of the most overrated bodybuilder ever. He really doesn't deserve so much praise as he is far from having perfect genetic. He was lucky to compete during a weak area, not really cause of the poor level, but cause of the lack of competitors as bodybuiding was not developped yet. Put him against guys from the 90s or 2000s and you will realize how many weak points he had against guys like Flex, Haney, Coleman, Cormier, Dexter etc...

What do you want to demonstrate? Kevin English has 2 or 3 Mr 202 Olympias, Warren has 2 Arnold classic titles. ???

Best genetic of his era?
First, not better than Arnold himself.
Second, being Mr Olympia against no more than 5 or 6 competitors means nothing.

You can imagine how he would have looked with modern drugs just in basing on his structure and muscles insertion or length.

The fact is that he has a very small structure next to big guys like Arnold and not the best muscle separation. He was one of the less lean on stage which is more an handicap today etc...

1st Never said he was "better" than Arnold note i said 1st or 2ND BEST of his era, 2nd Arnold was "winning Mr O AGAINST 5 or 6 in his Prime in the 70s, so i guess That Means nothing as well, you are Comparing Sergio (it seems) because he wasn't that Conditioned he would fall face down against todays BBers....of course he would....and heres a news flash and so would Arnold and Anyone else from the 60s and 70s just how the "standards" and Criteria is these days, the point or should i say the Title of the Thread is TOP 3 Overrated BBers....You still havnt explained WHY exactly Sergio is in the Top 3 OVER-RATED BBers

You said he had the best genetic of his era. Sorry Arnold had much better genetic. Sergio at his best in 92 was beaten by Arnold who didn't even reached his full potential so no, he didn't had the best genetic.

For the rest, yes criteria has changed, as mass is not the main criteria anymore otherwise shitty guys like Martin kjellstrom or Markus Rulh would be Mr Olympia. So he would actualy have more chance to win.

And when I say overrated I don't target judges. He probably deserves his titles and I don't really care about that as beating 5 or 6 guys doesn't mean big deal.
He is overrated by bodybuilding fans, most overrated ever and you are the first one who contribute to make me think that.

Well No i said Sergio ARGUABLY had the Best Genetics of his ERA Not THE BEST Genetics, Sergio was in his Best Shape in 1972 not 92, and NO he would have NO CHANCE competing against Modern BBers in ANY SHAPE he was in the year 1972, as his Conditioning in that year would look Soft and smooth to the best nowadays, HOWEVER on todays Drugs yip why not, hed be bigger and his Conditioning would be Currant for the times.

Nothing to do with Judges, never said anything about Judges, you said you dont care about him beating 5 or 6 however you don't mention Arnold Had the Same Competition as Sergio...Low Numbers...and for the most part Inferior competition for the era, its you who are in the MINORITY when saying Sergio is over rated not me saying he's not, as you have probably noticed there hasnt been a stampede of Support for you in this thread agreeing on Sergio being in the Top 3 as a Over-rated BBer....or other threads here on the same subject key word being Minority.

I've heard guys say this kind of thing numerous times, that the guys from the 70's couldn't compete with the modern day lineups from the 90's on.

That's a hard statement to make...sure, guys like Arnold and Sergio could never stand up as they were then with the guys now, not even close, but bring them to the same era and they'd be doing the same things the guys now are doing. They'd be using more hormones, eating very differently, not training 122hrs per wk, and getting much leaner with less water. You'd have an even bigger and better Arnold.

Mike Mentzer. He came in 5th in the 1980 Olympia but his fans think he should have won.   ::)   He lost the Universe twice. One to Robby Robinson and one to Kalman. Both times I believe they clearly beat him and again his fans and Mentzer thinks he should have won.  He entered the Olympia against Zane and he looked so smooth in comparison yet his fans think he should have won.

I will say this in the history of modern bodybuilding he was one of the most influential bodybuilders ever. Just a couple of things he brought back from the past or deviates from what was accepted.

1. Training the whole body three times a week.
2. He brought back rotation for recuperation from Frank Calta where body the body was trained three times a week but body parts got hit once or twice a week. So Monday was Thighs, Chest, and triceps. Wednesday was lats, delts and bicep. Friday you go back to Monday's routine.  Next week it's reversed so Wednesday's routine is Monday and Friday.
3. He said you can train a body part once a week. Radical stuff back then.
4. Said it's calories in and calories out that matter.
5. Actually said he used steroids.
6. During his prime he used aerobics heavily but then when he retired he was against it.
7. Said a bodybuilder should pursue strength gains.
8. Actually said bodybuilders lie about their arm size and told everyone what his arm size was when he weighed 225lbs. A true 20 inch arm is rare unless you weigh the same as a baby hippo.
9. Said Nautilus were the greatest machines ever made.

I will think of more later.

Not sure if his Physique in itself was overrated, it was Very good when in Shape, and remember he was the first and only Person ever with a Perfect 300 in the Mr Universe way back in the late 70s when that sort of thing was a Big Deal, as for the 1980 O results... well sometimes you get the expressway to the top, other times you get the back road into the Ditch, for whatever reasons he never found a way out of it, Great Physique when in Shape, Mentality to handle things that didnt go his way Not so.

-King kamali's gotta be up there. Had a body structure of a frog by the end of his active career, really a physique hit hard by palumboism. He actually beat a near prime Wolf 4-5 yrs ago  :-X

-Jay Cutler... he was good, very good up until the early 2000s. Had a decent showing at his comeback O but his physique has aged and will never have the quality (circa 2001) that it once did.

-Branch Warren.. how the fuck has he placed top 3 olympia and won the arnold classic is beyond me. The judging criterion is completely fucked if you can win shows based purely on muscle mass and conditioning... because clearly you can have both and still look like utter dog shit on stage

I read my post and I now feel I shouldn't have even brought it up Mentzer as over rated. He was someone I followed closely back in the day and I read everything I could on training about him. Any article he wrote I ripped out a magazine and I put in a file. I might have the most complete Mike Mentzer article file anywhere. He was a great physique champion. His perfect 300 just reflects how subjective scoring is.  Maybe I'm wrong but I think that perfect 300 was when he won the Southern Cup not the Universe.

The point of the thread is about guys that win shows who do not deserve to, hence overrated. Branch is a great bodybuilder in terms of credentials, but people are disgusted by his physique and 99% of getbiggers think he should be placing lower for having poor shape and no deep lines in his back, almost no detail.

I also don't think Mentzer's physique was overrated. If anything, it might be underrated. Politics had a lot to do with Mentzer's placings. Below are some contest pics. He had a great physique, owned signature poses, and could even pull off an impressive vacuum.

11 career wins

won noc, ironman, etc. and finished top 3 in the olympia

did well later in career against lesser competition...just like jay

great career...just don't think hes anything special

didn't beat the big boys of the 90s and wouldnt beat jay, heath, kai, or wolf
If Phil Heath is beating Kai, Wolf...then Chris would...
He didn't beat Jay because Jay was being gifted Arnold Classics.
And as far as Chris beating lesser competitors, all the competitors he beat would beat Wolf, Branch.

1st Dorian Yates  (No one beat him for that title)

2nd Jay Cutler  (Lots of gifts)

3rd Kevin English & Branch Warren (Some nice gifts)

LOL The GOAT overrated?   ::) give me a break please.

No one matched The GOAT's conditioning.  Year after year it was the same amazing conditioning.  Every single year he improved.  EVERY year.  The back got better every year.  Best back in the sport.  His posing routines were fantastic.  He put on a good show and no one cheered for others like they did for Dorian.

The most overrated bodybuilders are as follows.

1.)  Jay Cutler - one of the most disgusting physiques.  Tried to cheat his way last year with synthol.  Many on and off years and gifted Olympias.  Horrible conditioning, no back, poor definition, wide like a fridge, and a dwarf.

2.)  Ronald Coleman - 3 good showings his entire career.  1998, 1998, 2001 Arnold Classic.  The gut got bigger every single year.  The conditioning got worse every single year.  His posing routines were a joke.  He continues to shoot drugs and his body is decomposing.

3.)  Flex "Synthol" Wheeler - one superb showing - 1993.  After that he had very few good showings.  Excuses out the ass and poor conditioning.  Then he decided to cheat his way with synthol.  Made his physique look much worse and in the end he lost a kidney.  Total loser.

In my opinion:
1. Shawn Ray

2. Lee Priest

3. Bob Chiccerillo


Lee Priest was one hell of a bodybuilder.....Some of the best arms of all time......small waist....no gut.....very solid competitor.

Shawn is arguably one of the most complete and polished bodybuilders of all time.....extremely consistent as well......Fantastic presentation on stage.

Chick was a solid bodybuilder as well.

How are these guys overrated???

agree with the first one..

how people dont see his blocky legs, his less than average biceps, and lack of pec thickness is beyond me.

he has two great poses..back double bi and the most muscular..his side tris is good too..

but he's no levrone..not even close...

perfection?...hardly.


Shawn ray? Thin pecs? Great quads, best pose was side chest, also good fdb. Less than avg bis....?

Lol
