Mike Quinn wins again
-
Albert Beccles,Boyer Coe,Paul Demayo,Mike Mattarazo,Darrem Charles,Thierry Pastel,Robby Robinson,Frank McGrath,etc. etc.etc.
All could be argued and the list goes on and on though Dillet and Priest are right up there.

Just yesterday had trouble falling asleep, thinking about it.

You have low testosterone

Dillet had incredible biceps width and thickness from the front. Still remember that magazine shoot with Cormier, Cutler and him training biceps.

No way. As far as traps,shoulders,arms and calves go.

Ronnie and Ruhl
Rubl maybe but not Ronnie. Ruhl and dillet were the two biggest freaks on the stage.

and a nod to Winklar, Rolley not Henry
Yes roelly definitely his arms were nasty.

Forearms small and arms not full, the 3 guys I mentioned smoke him.

Levrone wasn’t worried about Dillett

Levrone had zero details, zero peaks, just chunks of beef. Most overrated BB ever.

Would like to see you say that shit to Rob’s face in person.And then see you running in your high heels.

Unlike yourself, I met Levrone in 94, Yates in 95, Nasser in 96. At their peak.
I did not meet, but saw up close: Ronnie, Flex, Gunter, Dillett, and Matarazzo in 1996
Levrone was basically better than anyone from the entire decade of the 60’s, the entire decade of the 70’s, and the entire decade of the 80’s. He was better than nearly every bodybuilder that entered the sport after his retirement.
PS: when they competed head to head, Levrone beat Dillett almost 100% of the time
-
Danny Padilla, arms were complete. Triceps, biceps and forearms. Really no weak points.
Gunnar Rosbo, his arms were crazy. Everything else was good but his arms were great.

Hate to break it to you buddy but men usually don't wear high heels. Your dad was "special" in that sense :-\

Looks like trash, site enhanced biceps and triceps, no forearms, your bodybuilding IQ is non existent.

Only the extremely gifted (German) bodybuilders can still have a biceps peak when their arms are fully stretched. Heiko had it and Ruhl still has it!

Lee was excellent
-
Charles Clairmonte and even Ed Kawak both had great arms and deserve mentioning. I actually saw Preist in Venice when his arms were looking like that, the striations on his biceps were like the lines on tennis balls unbelievably thick, but obviously they are also very short. But density and detail he stands alone.
-
1920's billie R. for the win at least in the 20's.
