you're right. Haney > Arnold

Haney had more size, better balance, and superior conditioning. Not even close unless you're just picking who you think looks more aesthetic

it is called side chest, not some shitty torso quarter twisted showing arms and abs

by all means, explain why I'm wrong. If you're only response is "Arnold had better pecs," then you better re-evaluate your answer. Isolating an individual body part does not make a better physique as a whole when comparing poses

I wouldn't say they had the very best, but Shawn Ray and Markus Ruehl are way up there, especially before Ruehl overdid the site injections.

Ronnie never hit the pose quite "right" according to purists, but his was freaky.  So was Dorian's.

his delts and arms(triceps),abs intercostals, are overpowering his chest in that particular pose.

as much as I like Ronnie, he looks bad in most of his side chest pics that show his whole body. He looks awesome in close-ups of his upper body but his lower body throws off his overall balance. I think Dorian has the best side chest from a bodybuilding perspective

His delts weren't as developed as today's guys---overdeveloped delts take away from the chest. Also look at the way they hit the shot back then---suck in, arm to the side, slight arch to back, and puff chest out (like those fancy pigeons), this is diff from today, where they turn to the side.

Why is it the old school guys' chests look much better?

Because they are.

Arnold is the best.

Franco is up there as is Sergio but Nubret tops both of those men.

Looking at Coleman he's fat in a muscular sort of way.  His ass, gut and legs are too big.  Needs a back up beeper for that fat butt of his. 
Disgusting comes to mind.  He is a joke as are so many others of that line of (not) thinking.

Arnold # 1.

Nubret # 2.

Franco # 3.

Sergio # 4.

Coleman without his surplus of dope is, as he would say, nuttin' but a peanut.  He may not make 60 years of age and no one will mourn his passing save perhaps a few size queens on this site.

Because they are.

Arnold is the best.

Franco is up there as is Sergio but Nubret tops both of those men.

Looking at Coleman he's fat in a muscular sort of way.  His ass, gut and legs are too big.  Needs a back up beeper for that fat butt of his. 
Disgusting comes to mind.  He is a joke as are so many others of that line of (not) thinking.

Arnold # 1.

Nubret # 2.

Franco # 3.

Sergio # 4.

Coleman without his surplus of dope is, as he would say, nuttin' but a peanut.  He may not make 60 years of age and no one will mourn his passing save perhaps a few size queens on this site.


They are all nothing without their dope but I get your point. The worst thing to me in modern bb is the overdeveloped legs, giant stupid looking tree trunks. Ha that Arnold's legs were small! They were perfect, why do they need to be bigger?

Even with that deficiency he still looked pretty damn good 

i think this is the contest Dorian was commentating when he said.......

'it appears his upper chest is getting in the way of his face!!!'

I think I'd put Haney and Ferrigno in there somewhere.

Me, too, especially since Serge looked really good in two or three poses ... the rest, not so much.  There's a reason we don't see him throwing down lots of front biceps and back poses.

Nubret had good a muscle and skeletal structure.

Coleman added a lot mass to a non flowing structure.

Bodybuilding seems to be about piling on as much crap as possible to cover up inherent flaws.

A few people just happen to pile a lot of muscle on a good structure. But people with good structures look good whether they lift or not. Like Reeves. Reeves looked like "Reeves" as a teenager.

Title: Re: Who had the best side chest
Post by: njflex on July 16, 2012, 08:22:22 AM
Old school guys actually trained chest real hard.

Then, they didn't overdevelop the delts to the point that they overshadowed the chest. Today's pros just go nuts on shooting up the delts in the hopes of looking best in a front relaxed pose so they'll get called out first. Same with shooting up the arms.

And then there's the horrendous posing. Nobody hits a side chest anymore. Everyone does a "side-hands-clasped-most-muscular".

Simply put: most guys don't have the balls to site-inject their chests today as much as they pin their arms and delts. So, the delts and arms outsize the chest, making the chest look smaller in comparison.

Unlike the days of old, when guys didn't have to pin as much shit all over the place, so there wasn't as much need to spread the huge amount of pinning out all over the arms, and delts, and traps, and calves, and outer quads, etc... There certainly wasn't synthol. And though guys pinned, they took a lot more orals because there was great supply of good quality orals everywhere - you didn't have to worry much about fakes. And when you did pin stuff, it was properly dosed, it was high quality, and it wasn't some home brew shit with 50mg/ml. It had 200mg/ml and the dosage on the bottle was what was in the bottle, and you didn't need 10ml of stuff per day to get big. You could get away with a cc every day, even if you were Grymkowski or Arnold. Less pinning means less times to hit the arms and delts, meaning they don't get stupid-sized, meaning the chest continues to look symmetrically big.

Then of course, the massive leg growth we see today on the stage does make chests look smaller. If guys had properly proportioned legs, like they did back in the day (yes, I think today's pros have legs that are too stupid big), then chests today would look massive too. It's all relative, and about proportion.

Of course, this thread is a classic case of reinforcing beliefs. Start a thread about "best chest" - post old school pics - believe that old school guys all had the best chest.

Though I won't argue old guys had good pecs, so do today's pros. Just that today's pros screw it up with over-site-injections, too much leg size, and not posing correctly.

snx nice job there,,,,i like big chest over crazy delt look ,,delts look nice and i train them hard but my chest is better body part and think with abs looks better overall than all delts,,

you're right. Haney > Arnold

Haney had more size, better balance, and superior conditioning. Not even close unless you're just picking who you think looks more aesthetic


Isn't that what bobybuilding is?
