Mine would definately have to be Shawn Ray. He should have won two Mr. Olympias in my opinion.
He had a perfectly balanced, classic physique. I also like the way he carried himself. He was a determined, dedicated, and confident bodybuilder. I also like the way he entertained in his videos.
I still remember him rolling up to the gym in a red Lambo, blasting Tupac. The man was born a Getbigger.
Shawn Ray is my favorite bodybuilder of all-time.

You should give a brief reason why he is your favorite.
-
Charlie Parker.
-
Favorite bodybuilder is Bob Paris because of the flawless flowing perfect body, no homo.
Also Jay Cutler for his marketing ability and business sense.
-
The classic bodybuilder: It should be a requirement to do a vaccum pose. It is completely up to today's judges to help save bodybuilding. Stop rewarding mass monsters.

Lol!!! You guys are lazy :D How about a name, pic/pics, and a brief description as to why they are your favorite.
-
Pelletier bc no matter how he looks like shit he continues to keep competing
-
Special mention to Ruhl for being the sickest mass monster ever.
-
Natural: Steve Reeves and Reg Park.
Unnatural: Arnold, Zane, Draper and Paris.
The last twenty or so years: Not a single one, really. Dennis Wolf would be the best. Humble, good physique and seems to be a good family man, but outside of him?
For the greater part they're all a bunch of inflatable baboons, including the manlet class.
-
I think if you did a vote .asked every single dude in the fitness industry who their favorite bodybuilder was it would be between arnold and kevin. they are the most popular bbers ever
-
Charlie Parker.
is awesome.

yeah...wolfe is the only modern pro I really follow. Frank mcgrath's animal pack adds were pretty cool and inspiring
-

Arnold? Yes. Levrone? He would not be that popular.
Besides, we are not asking the industry. We are asking bodybuilding fans.
This is a bodybuilding site. Right?
-
Charlie Parker.
Good stuff there. Coltrane and Hartman is another great combination I highly recommend.
-
The one....the only...
There's literally no contest..everything looks good from every angle, best muscle insertions ever.
-
Jason Genova
-
My favorite bodybuilder is shizzo, he is a big massive he beast.

I have heard these sentiments amongst others.

very tough to narrow it down to one.....but here are a few of my favorites:
labrada
bannout
schweyer
Cottrell
phil Williams
lee haney
berry demey
ali malla
franco
Arnold
santoriello
s ray
cormier
rick wayne
robby robinson
but again just too difficult to just have only one.

Shawn Ray's video "To The Extreme" was the first bodybuilding video tape that actually showed real training. I was so tired of buying video tapes and it was fake sweat and demonstrations of exercise. It's still one of the best actual training footage I have ever seen.

Men = Bob Paris
Women = Corey Everson

There physiques are all built from scratch on the same drugs and have little individuality compared to pre mega dose era guys.

I think Mentzer was great but unfortunately he never recovered from his defeat. I was luck enough to get to know him before he died. He was pretty well read and a nice person too. He is definitely in my top 5 of all time.

The King
Mass with Class, Righteous Hebrew family man and business man. Better than Ronnie, better than Dorian.

second place for me: Albert Beckles was second to
Haney with twice his age!

Ditto. Mentzer was one of the best ever. But he did not play nice with Weider, so he got marked lousy.

having beef with someone doesn't mean you will ever beat them. I mean halo was trying to verbally lynch me, but the mods would never have allowed it.
let the record show however, that I am not comparing myself to Arnold, and I am CERTAINLY not comparing that piece of trash to Mentzer

You should learn to let that go. It is obviously completed preoccupied your mind to a degree that you think we give a shit. These deep rooted feelings of insecurity will ultimately lead to anger, which will turn to depression if it's not released.
We are all aware that you are protected here by the mods. Which has zero to do with Arnold completely owning Mentzer at every turn in his career. Unless you're pulling a booty and trying to make the thread about you.

anja langer is without a doubt my favorite female bodybuilder of all time......she had a beautiful and very balanced physique.

Really? what about all those posts about how he was only interested in hebrew women? I don't get it.

Having a favorite bodybuilder is schmoey to say the least.
I will say that I have been influenced by certain bodybuilders, Trey Brewer got me back into the gym after I was done playing football.
I suppose you could say I appreciate Antoines build and personality a lot. Dorian as well.

Do you guys think Shawn Ray was blacklisted from winning, because of his public bashing of the judges and officials?
He was warning us years ago that sheer mass should not be rewarded.
He was right.

No....he lost because the other guys were better. Haney, Wheeler, Levrone had everything Ray had and were much bigger. Of course he was going to try to get the judges to look for the smaller man. He was good, but not top ten all-time.

Arnold or Lee Haney. Tough call.

No way.... Ray was better than (meaning more consistent) than Wheeler and Levrone. I also believe he beats Haney in a posedown.
I don't like comparing who is better in different eras. I think Shawn Ray had a better physique then Arnold, but they are in different generations. Flex had the best physique I have ever seen (for one show)
Shawn Ray personified hard work. He never showed up out of shape, and you could argue he was at his best during the end of his career. He may not have an Olympia title, but Shawn Ray is absolutely in the all-time top ten, ever.

Ray never even came close to training as hard or as heavy as Haney.
To think he would beat Haney in a head-to-head posedown is pure ignorance. To think he would beat Arnold is just plain dumb.
Shawn Ray is not a top ten all-time bodybuilder.

Arnold's legs did not match his upper body. And Shawn Ray would absolutely beat haney in a posedown.

Arnolds legs were out of proportion to his upper body but that is consistent with the era. I suspect a lot of competitors back then did a lot of running to cut resulting in the stringy leg look.

I agree with u
Shawn wasn't better than a prime wheeler or levrone but those guys became very inconsistent and later yrs wheeler was overrated, oil everywhere, played the mass game and messed up his lines, levrone lost a lot of thickness, legs gone and by his last O was 6th place which was a gift

I was able to follow Shawn late in his career. Haney was before my time.

Haney was a 250 lb version of Shawn Ray. He made Ray look like a small 212 lber. Pictures do not do Haney justice - he was as massive as Yates and always in condition. There is a reason his competition record was what it was.
He was also a great ambassador for the "sport".

My favorite Olympian would have to be Arnold. The freakiest ever (while still having a great shape) was Ronnie in the first few years of his reign.
I think both Ronnie and Dorian (especially Dorian) got gifted a couple of Sandows towards the end.
So who do you guys think can dethrone Heath? Please don't say Rami either ::)

Gifted a couple? I say Yates and Coleman have at least five undeserved olympias between the two them.

I meant a couple each ;) Dorian was the worst though. Dude was missing his bicep in the last two right? If I were the judges, I would have told him he had no chance to win. You have to have two biceps to compete.
-

Better than dexter, Shawn, flex, levrone, Francois, dillett, etc
Ummm NO!
I suppose you could be right, but taking the entire "presentation" if you will, into account I find Wolf to be pretty good. Dexter? Nope. Shawn? Nope. Flex? Hell nope. Francois? Maybe. Dillett? Huge and from what little I've seen, none too humble, but that's true of most bodybuilders. They all want to be Arnold but his "arrogance" was born of genuine supremacy and a keen sense of humor.
Theirs is whelped of ego.
For me, it would be Dennis for the win, but I understand your point of view and accept it as a valid one.
-
Bob Paris for the aesthetics, Serge Nubret for similar reasons and Flex Wheeler, in his prime and at his very best he is hard to beat.
-

Charlie Parker.

he wasn't more consistent, they beat shawn more times than he beat them and it's easier to be consistent when you only compete once a year as shawn mostly did during his career
