Wow - can't remember seeing him quite this ripped before - thanks OP - I'd have taken this look (or the ripped version of DeMey) in a heartbeat back then

And what a wonderful 2 minute masterclass in how to pose... reminded me just why I loved this business in the first place 8) (bit h0mo)

They don't really pose anymore like that.
More of a 'Jabba Pizza the Hutt' type of thing they got going today...

Some great posers back in the day, Corney, Zane, Paris, Pearson, etc.

And they should ban 'dance' moves

I don't cringe easily - but I've tried several times to watch the Kamali body-popping routine, and really struggle not to cover my eyes... :-X

Taffin thinks to self, "Can't be that bad...

<Play>

"OK, so it's the 'skipped head day' guy... never had to shave a hair on his chin or his balls in his life so far...

...got a processed look to his muscle... weird overhangs at the side of his waist?... but good shape

Hmm... Those look like swimming trunks... oh, when he turns round and draws back his elbows he's got a bit of a xmas tree going on - lower fat % than he looks...

Pretty standard poses so far, wonder what joswift was on abo...."

@0:58

"Oh my GOD, is he doing the RUNNING MAN!??! 😬

Please - make him stop STOP!  This could not get any gaye..... 😨

Skipping?

Flapping wings?

MORE SKIPPING!?" 😱

@1:15

"Groan.. not the robot... please... kill me now"...💀

Yes, has to be right up there...cringe factor of >95% - is there a historical 'worst posing ever' thread..?

Paris had an awesome physique - but it never appealed to me. Rory Leidelmeyer, who competed against Paris, seemed so much better.

Birdsong looks huge,it`s just that Frank Richards lats are flexed a bit and he`s naturally wider (genetics) and Birdsongs upper body seems in more of a  relaxed stance.....I could be wrtong though since pics are deceiving and that`s just my opinion.

Bob`s legs look big also,back in the day,they were always a glaring weak point.

If the Olympia had come after the Universe in 83 then Paris career would have been far better.
It was the first time that it had happened, normally the worlds were before the Olympia and the winner could enter the Olympia
Paris spent too much time touring after the Worlds and struggled to get back in shape for 84, the rest is history

Just looked for reall early Birdsong pics....not one to be found in my search anyway.

I used to own every muscle book ever published and remember the pics well.

Birdsong had freaking insane forearm development.

Who cares anyway right?  ;D

I think it was the lighting at that show.  Everyone looked amazing.  Bodybuilding promoters should have been trying to duplicate that for decades.

Bob Paris took 11th.  Demey 9th.  Hany, Gaspari, Labrada 1, 2, and 3.

Paris was superb!  Uncrowned Mr. Olympia?  I think so.  I am certain that Haney was gifted a few by Weider to try and "humble" Arnold.  Labrada looked better a couple of times and Paris just looks better all the time.  Haney?   Totallee gifted.  FTN.

I don’t think Paris had the torso to take Haney in any of Haneys win.

However Paris would’ve had taken the MrO from 1976 to 82 if he was around in his prime.

I disagree.

Haney probably lost one “drug tested” Olympia to Christian.

Once you stood Labrada beside Haney he completely disappeared. Once they turned around for back poses, it was all over.

Notice how the relaxed stance of old,doesn`t have have these guys looking like they have a barrel under each arm?

Looks way better than the retarded new way of standing.

I can understand that line of reasoning and it can make sense to a degree but...

...The same could be said of Padilla but to me he was a miniature Arnold.  I just think Haney is waaaaaay overrated but I don't mind if others think differently.  I think Labrada was excellent  but I also think more  highly of Padilla.

Haha - yes true ;D - so does Strydom for that matter - he almost looks like some shaking special needs kid - terrible business

Compare that to my man Mr DeMey on the left - now that is how you hit that pose 8)





(Hmmm... I'm sure I've seen a UK GetBigger use that sort of flair for his posing... ;D)

I'm surprised he got that ripped cause I remember a Mr. International contest in Columbus OH on ESPN in the 80's where Arnold interviewed him and Paris thought that you can get too big or too cut and it wasn't good for your aesthetics. On a side note, I've always been surprised that his first two books never became big in the classic physique or instagram/aesthetics communities. I completed the routines in Flawless and got an excellent beach body though it was hard to recover as a natural. I did the program again years later and broke it down in half (training a bodypart once a week instead of twice) and got better results because I was able to recover easier.
