list 3 bbers whose physique summed up what bbing means to you.arnold,sergio and bertil are my choice.
-
good choices but i would go with: sergio, arnold, haney and flex
-
i have nothing against haney but he just didn't do anything for me.when he flexed he didn't look any more impressive.
-
I went with Haney over flex for third mainly because Haney had the mind of a champion plus he had that crazy torso chest shoulders back waist combo one of the best ever
-
sergio
betil
arnold
in that order
-
arnold
sergio
king kamali
-
sergio
betil
arnold
in that order
which ever order we agree on the top 3.lets see if there are any more who do.

Beritil Fox: should be excluded since murders don' t count!!!
let's admire the physique he had and not him or his crime

Brutal Fox.

let's admire the physique he had and not him or his crime
i didnt vote for admiration
-
Arnold...Flex....Bertil
-
Arnold
Dorian
Priest
-
Yates
Coleman
Arnold
-
Arnold sums up bodybuilding better than anyone else.
Yates because of the mass, the stone look, and the training
Ronnie Coleman (I like Cutler better but I can't deny that Coleman is just on a whole other level when it comes to freakiness)
-
In chronological order:
Sergio
Shawn
Ronnie
-
i didnt vote for admiration
if you can't admire a physique what are you doing here
-
Arnold
Yates
third is a toss up between Wheeler, Levrone, Ray, or Labrada
-
Shawn Ray, Sergio Oliva, Flex Wheeler
-
theres too many to narrow it down to 3. yates,arnold and haney were awesome but so were shawn ray, levrone, labrada, and sergio.

1. Greg Kovas
2. Greg Valentino
3. Dave Palumbo

Mike Avilla numero uno, only joking

list 3 bbers whose physique summed up what bbing means to you.arnold,sergio and bertil are my choice.
1. Arnold(For combining volume, symmetry and balance like no other bodybuilder in history.).
2.Sergio Oliva(The only bodybuilder ever to have all of his muscle bellies long, coupled with a flawless frame. Most genetically gifted bodybuilder, of all times.).
3.Dorian(For his unequalled density and dryness. Set the standards for conditioning and graininess.).
4.Lee Labrada(Perfect frame. Perfect balance. Perfect everything. Superb level of muscular detail. Labrada, at the 1988 O, epitomized what bodybuilding is all about.).
SUCKMYMUSCLE
P.S:I had to squeeze Labrada in...

I can see what you are saying about the top 3, but I never thought Labrada had that special of a physique. Looked a bit blocky to me. He was too short for the kind of physique he had.

He is short, but look at the amont of mass he was able to pack, while still maintaining classical proportions, not to mention an amount of detail that Flex and Ronnie can only dream of. Check out pics from the 88 O. Lee's physique is more beautiful than any statue ever created, by Fidias, or any other sculpture from Classical Greece. Just my opinion. :) ;)

You are entitled to your opinion. However, I highly doubt Labrada had more detail than Flex did in the mid-90s or Ronnie in the mid-to-late '90s

1) arnold
2) haney
3) coleman
-
arnold for bringing the masses to bbing,coleman for totally changing the limits of size and conditioning,and shawn ray for marketing and competing in top shape every year in his olympia run.
-
1. ronnie
2. Arnold
3. Haney
67898890987899. Yates. :-*
-
1. ronnie
2. Arnold
3. Haney
67898890987899. Yates. :-*
Yates revolutionized bodybuilding in terms of size, training method, and drugs. If it wasn't for Yates, the mass game may have never been what it is today, and with that, coleman would have never become mr. olympia.
-
Yates revolutionized bodybuilding in terms of size, training method, and drugs, injuries and guts.

don't forget about billy blanks

And the same thing could be said about Ronnie as well minus the injuries. Nobody will argue that Ronnie has superior genetics compared to Yates. This is evident in the way he had to train to be #1. If Ronnie trained like Yates he too would probably have injuries. But he doesnt have to due to superior genetics

I would argue the exact opposite: body taper, muscle shape, vascularity and amount of visible striations are all areas that are largely genetically pre-determined in that you can only go so far as to change them. And these are all areas that ronnie takes dorian on.
I don't really think Dorian had great genetics for bodybuilding. But that didn't stop him from maximizing his potential. Hell, I don't think ronnie had great genetics either (check out the abs) but he had better genetics than Dorian did.
A bodybuilder that had great "natural genetics" would have been someone like Haney or Flex: great muscle shape, taper, lines etc etc.

I just realized I made a mistake in my post, I meant to say that nobody will argue that Ronnie didn't have better genetics than Dorian, that is obvious.

1. Sarcasm
2. Mike Arvilla
3. Ronnie Coleman

He had one quality over most other bodybuilders: HEIGHT.
yes and it's a factor in this sport, unfortunately. Else guys like Shawn Ray and Lee Priest would have taken a few sandows home

yuck, but first you have to like greek sculpture.
this is superior:
btw this dude by Gaston Lachaise in 1938 is located at

Haney, Coleman and then Arnold.....Dorian gets honorable mention at 4th
>:(
-
Yates revolutionized bodybuilding in terms of size, training method, and drugs. If it wasn't for Yates, the mass game may have never been what it is today, and with that, coleman would have never become mr. olympia.
Then he didn't revolutionize it.
He killed it.

who's the greaser in the t-shirt with the glass of wine?
Thats none other than Freddy Ortiz and he was awesome in his day , and thats an ice cream cone not wine.
-
arnold
Lee
and i realy like dugdales body type
-
yeah but i don't think dugdale goes in teh top 3 of all time....there is guys like shawn ray who had a really nice syemitrical body that blow dugdale apart...i think.
-
My replies gonna be w/more modern bb'ers.Lets say from 1970 or so & up.
1.Arnold
The guy brought bb'ing to the masses & had an awesome build.Knew how to hide his flaws in competition & was completely dominant in his era.
2.Lee Haney
Biggest flaw in my opinion to his body was his arms.Little more size there & untouchable, not that he wasn't for his era.Besides this he was the first bb'er to win 8 Mr O's beating "the mans" record.
3.Sergio Oliva
This man was just a freak!!!Only competitor where the writers of the day said his fellow competitors were scared s&^tless to compete against him more or less.Won the O 3 times.Arnold feared Sergio imo.
Believe it or not Ronnie Coleman I don't think would even place in the top 10 w/me.
-
Freddy had some of the biggest arms ever seen.
-
the pompadour hair on him fabulous :)
-
What about Phil Heath ::)
-
YATES
HANEY
COLEMAN
Fuckin a right ^
-
If they didn't win an Olympia they don't come close to making the list.
Flex was great but not even close to beating Yates

Show me a bodybuilder... anyone... who has this kind of symmetry and cuts. Like a finely honed diamond. Perfection that has not once been matched. A much smaller man beating the biggest name in bodybuilding because of it.
Don't show me a big puffy bodybuilder with traps to his ears. Yeah, they look good just like an American Bully looks better than a purebred APBT.
Quality vs. quality... and don't forget: Zane is still alive and kickin' ~
Quality for quality in every aspect, head to toe. I want to see it. Show me.
I didn't used to appreciate Zane's physique... until I got older... and wiser. His relaxed pose is equally impressive.
I'll wait.

I've always preferred Nubret to Zane.
-
hard to make a list..
first two on the list have got to be Coleman and Yates... with probably Nasser in 3rd. Because those are the guys who dominated when I was starting out... guys with the unattainable physiques.
then as I got older, I looked towards the 'freaks'.. guys who wouldn't win a show, but were just freaks. you'd see'em in person and thing "what.. the.. fuck.."
paco bautista
tom prince
pavol jablonicky

I wouldn't call Pavol Jablonicky a freak, at least not compared to the other names you've mentioned, but he had a really good physique back in the day. I haven't seen him in person though so I may be wrong. :P
Cswole and Fux, two freaks.

Bodybuilders that influenced me:
1. Arnold
2. Levrone
3. Wheeler
Top 3 of all time (Mr. O's)
1. Coleman
2. Haney
3. Arnold
-
interesting when this thread was made in 2006 that barely anyone had coleman in their top 3
but anyway top 3 bbers that should actually beat everyone else onstage at their best
1. ronnie coleman
2. flex wheeler
3. kevin levrone
in that order
dorian yates would be no.2 if judges were simply looking for conditioning and sheer mass, when all other aspects of bbing are taken into account those are the top 3..
-
1-yates 2-coleman 3-nasser

yea I forgot about Fux.. he could've replaced Pavol in my list... pavol was just hard and grainy, I liked the look... same as claude groulx or orville burke.
I thought about Ruhl, but while he was large.. I didn't think he had the same hard, granny, vascularity of a guy like Paco.... or even jd dawodu.

Gotta go with this myself. Beyond Arnold there are many greats. But beyond Arnold there are no favourites like him.

Indeed. And for sheer mass I must go for Coleman and Ruhl...

good choices but i would go with: sergio, arnold, haney and flex
I have to go with these 3 based on pure bodybuilding:
1. Lee Haney 2. Arnold 3. Ronnie
