The difference when it comes to impressiveness is way less obvious than one might think.... ???

This is why todays pros would look like like blobs of shit next to arnold.
Forget bodyweights, that classic physique guy isn't on arnolds level and he's making the freak look like crap, not that he looks good in that pose anyway.

Zero taper , zero separation in his quads :-X

This "sport" has truly gone into the toilet. Classic Physique IS bodybuilding. The open is a freak show.

The talent isnt there right now. Put 1999 ronnie next to both of them and then compare.

Overpowering legs on both. Can't train clavicle lenght and a wide hip.

My personal fav
But look up Guillaume and Benafetto
-
Whilst I hold Yates 93 as the best physique ever presented in the sport, classic physique is a far better look in modern bodybuilding.

You're right on that Dorian was def the most overrated Mr O ever together with Haney. That was the era when you were winning one sandow they would gift it to you year after year no matter what until retirement.

Haney is a very good and decent man but yep his proportions weren't good enough for the O
His arms were rather small with subpar triceps
Samir was better and more complete
If he was from shitsa he most likely would have won multiple O's
-
Who has the bigger lats? Who has the bigger arms?
-
So what is better ab-wise? A vacuum with no visible abs or a bloaty thick slab. Not sure either is that great?

I was in Vegas one time and there must’ve been some low level show because there were bodybuilders around but it wasn’t Olympia time. Anyway, two of these dudes got into the elevator with me and they looked like children. Like I could’ve palmed one of their heads and held them at arms length. Very unimpressed

when I competed in the 80s and 90s the biggest looking guys onstage always looked tiny in clothes
If you saw someone you were competing against looking drawn and flat , you knew you had your work cut out
I once got stopped by a doorman going from one part of the theatre to another, I thought I was some hobo that had sneaked in, I had to show him my abs to prove I was competing ;D

5'9 187
Benafetto 5'6 170
Guillaume 5'7 176
See a pattern here
For me at 5'11 195
Somehow I'm gaining muscle on only 10 mgs dbol ans cheque drops WTF ???
I'm starting to believe that my gear in Moscow was bunk can't be explained any other way as I was dosing 100 mgs of test daily and now my current stack is shitting all over that
Funny thing is is that I really don't want to gain any more muscle

So true. Unless you are an IFBB Pro, amateurs generally look like twinks in their clothes on contest day. But that has little to do with who wins.
-
How tall is the classic physique guy?
-

Let me understand this- I should grab a guy from 26 years ago to show that modern bodybuilding (aka 2025) hasn't gone into the toilet? lol

Fella is tall and broad which is very rare
Most guys over 6'2 are kinda narrow
6'3+ and broad is like 0.5% of all men

My experience was similar, protruding cheek bones looking small in a tracksuit usually meant you were in trouble unless it was you. most guys looked underwhelming until they stripped off got a pump and got under the lights. Except for Yates you could see that guy was in shape in the dark, conditioning was on another level.

Yes very true.
Arnold in his track suit in Pumping iron & how he looked on stage.
