I've seen them all, but in my opinion this one takes the cake whenever Columbu is mentioned.

one of the best pics I have seen of him.
-
just a lil re-touched. lol
-
Wtf did these guys do for their chest back then?!?!!!
-
Man, he ended up with the worst hair in bb. Ever.
-
It is the best because it is enhanced. Find the original and put it next to it.
-

I know what you mean. Arnold, Franco, Sergio, Serge. It's crazy.
-

x2,seems like everyone got themselves a huge chest
-

OG guys had the best chests ever.

Mike Katz and Boyer Coe strongly disagree....

Heavy Bencher.

Coe had marvelous hair, it just wasn't his.
-

Delts were smaller back then as well...But, yeah...this would be the look to emulate.
-
I think it's because these guys had only basic shit and (supposedly) in contest prep trained everything 3 times a week
that works for some body parts for some people
-
;D

i disagree! get yourself francos book, it's way old and red... there are some amesome pics in it. me fav is a pic of a back latsspread, there are no air even showing between his arms! it's crazy and awesome! someone might be able to find it... can not find the book...would be cool to se it. franco got in an argument with yates because of that pic about who had the greatest back. francos back was so awesome!
one thing about wath franco did for his back! he was not much into incline benching...more of a flat bencher...and what is interesting about that is de devloped one of the freakiest upper chests of all time! regular routine for guys back then would be bench press, dumbell press, flyes, pullover with dumbell...do not forget the pullover exersice! it's awesome! you never see anyone do that in this time and age! if you have a nautilus machine i would do at that one...but chances are you wont...rumors said that yates even had one of those machines at home!

I know which pic you're talking about. That RLS pic is his best from behind, but the one I posted is the best one I've seen of Franco from the front and the side.
-

They trained harder. They made it a point to keep waists small. There was no insulin used. GH was not needed. Eliminate those two and what you see is the result of a real bodybuilder.
-
I think the big chests were from flat benching... big emphasis on that back then
-
Upper chest more split than Kobe and his money
-
Delts were smaller back then as well...But, yeah...this would be the look to emulate.
I disagree. Look at Franco's back doub bicep.
-
great chest
-
Google images of Franco.
-
thanks vinny! thats the one i meant. great pose for him. look how thick he is from top to bottom. dont forget deadlifts people. can someone tell wolf this?
-
We don't see those chest anymore
-
just a lil re-touched. lol
Lil? Lil?
-
We don't see those chest anymore
I cannot recollect any top bber with a weak chest from the 70,80s. The judging standards must be much better in those decades.
-
Looking at those pics, its clear that Franco had poor tricep development. His weakness: legs & triceps
His strengths: Pecs & Lats
-
quite often you see people with either poor chest or back...not too often people have both...would suck to have penny thick chest...mike mentzer had this problem...and really no back to it either! sometimes i think bb is an arm contest! the sport of anabolic steroids 8)

yep, AJ wrote in a much more easy to understand style, while carrying a pistol at his side ;D
-
got alot of inspiration of mike in the beginning...i got a copy of fontainhead and tried to read it...i forced myself halfway through then i could not stand it...got a copy of heavy duty 2...jesus what that dude was into philosophy...the reason why i gave fountainhead a try was because i tried heavy duty and did 2 workouts a week...to much time on my hands ;)
-
Still pales in comparison to this side chest shot:
-
rand is like kant to me, a bunch of horseshit
william james is much better imho
-
dorian is dorian but franco actually got him on upper pecs...amazing he devloped those doing flat benches! :o
-
Love this one. The separation between upper and lower pecs is unheared of.
(http://i.imgur.com/DNgSNzH.jpg)
-
yep that separation is the shit
-
Arnold and his training partner Franco had the biggest chests of all time imo. These dudes knew how to seriously build pectoral mass!

Didn't we have a thread a short while ago where someone was saying that Lee Priest was the best "short" bodybuilder of all-time?
Who was that semeneater?
-
I can honestly say I've never seen that pic of Franco.....haven't said something like that in 15 years LOL.
-
franco did have a great upper body and a thick chest-but that pic is sooo morphed....
-
THICK!

Dorian had a tiny chest proptionally.

HERE IT IS:
-
I am disappointed in you. You didn't put up DLB.
-
I have seen a better picture then that of Franco and it is not shopped. It is in one of his books. He is doing a Most muscular and His chest just looks insane! His upper chest seperation in the picture is unreal. You can see a creased line all the way across his upper chest leading to his mid chest muscle.I have never seen a Bodybuilder with so much seperation in that area of the chest the line is so distinct. Franco had a insane chest before the 81 Olympia when he had a Gyno flare-up. I wish I could post this picture or scan it somehow. He has some cool pictures in his book "winning bodybuilding", there is also a real sick picture of his calfs in this book where he is doing calf raises and the seperation and diamond shape is just ridiculous.
-
Another awesome picture of Franco is where he is hanging upside down. Dude looks like a f*cking bat with it's wings flared!

No, he doesn't. Sami looks like shit compared to guys from the 70's. Hope this helps.

Yeah right. Ever seen a 70s guy with glutes likes this? In fact, ever even seen a 70s guy's glutes? I think not, hater ::)

You got me there. Samis glutes are a beautiful site. Arnold never showed his glutes off. I especially like how the guys cell phone is a mere 2 inches away from penetrating samis butthole.
Sami > Arnold

Exactly. The pussies even covered their glutes with ridiculously thick trunks. That guy with the phone is going in for the money shot as he knows what the fans want to see!!

Yes, the smaller the posing trunks, the better. Personally, I think they should go on stage naked.

bill grant did in the 70's, but no one seemed to think much of it. I think I recall a writer calling them 'crowns'.

So gay. Nobody wants to see your disgusting ass development. Modern bodybuilding is fucked.

Someone wrote into Flex Magazine in the 90s and suggested that the men and women should pose naked as that the posing trunks were already too small (compared to now they cover a lot more) and that women didn't have breast tissue anyway (other than the implants).
