I don't usually start theads but I stumbled onto this:
I thought it was pretty amazing, the posing is pretty damn cool just the way he moves, we don't see this stuff anymore. Lee's in really good shape here, ripped to the bone...makes me really miss the late 80's early 90's.

His head looks too big for his body.

That mustache makes him look like a cop or an early 80's porn star.

I could look like that if I did steroids. These guys aren't "real" lifters.

That's what a bodybuilder is supposed to look and move like.

That guy was actually able to flex his abs for more than half a second. A long lost breed.
-
He was really good and great balance,he was light their maybe 180 ish,in the nineties toward the end of his competitve career closer to 200 and pretty thick and esp his arm's were strong point.

Wow, now thats posing!!!!
That made todays guys laughing stock at posing, I mean shit, you can't even compare what ANY of todays guys do to what Lee did there. Amazing.

MASTER!
Inspirational beyond imagination.
Lee was/is truly "MASS WITH CLASS"...
-
Awesome posing. Why is it that back then they would actually hold poses long enough so that you can view it? Now days it'a all half assed unless you're doing a most muscular. That they can hold but any other pose they hold for like 2 seconds.

Sometimes I think we're stuck in a time warp Joe. We were influenced by some of the same people and the best of what seems to be a lost era, lost training ethics and lost single owner gyms. Danny, Rory, Samir, Lee, Paris, Pearl. I trained at Venice Gold's the other day and couldn't help notice how no-one actually trains like they're hungry for it. The USA's are coming up and the gym should have been "on fire". Don't get me wrong there were a few. Few is the key word though.

Amazing!!
The sad part is...he wouldn't even qualify for the O today :-\ :-X

I wonder how many of the top guys today would qualify for the O back in 87-89. Yes they are bigger but the quality just isn't there from what I see. It REALLY sunk in for me when was looking at Ruhl in the last flex.

Exactly... very well put. It’s not that the guys are better today, it's that the judging standards were LOWERED to account for the lack of attention to aesthetics, conditioning, balance, stage presence, the actual thought process and choreography put into a posing routine as well as the ability to move fluidly. So it's easy for today’s fans to say that “the guys of the past wouldn't make it today” while one cannot forget that the guys of today would NOT have made the cut back then. It’s like comparing a Ferrari to a Monster Truck.

I saw Lee Labrada guest pose at his prime (Back in 92 - 93) at a local bodybuilding show
Wow....... :o
short, ripped, massive....
-
So these days bodybuilding is judged on mass and cuts alone and back then it was shape alone? Yet Gaspari beat Labrada back then so I'm not so sure about the consistency of the judging.
Labrada was 176 pounds at that show. Pretty or not, that is way too small. Not to mention he was only 5'6. "The perfect body" as Labrada so modestly put it ::) has HEIGHT as well. At the bare minimum 5'8 for a contest of this caliber. Also, Labrada had no business beating this man:

in my opinion height should be one of the secondary things that is looked at. Labrada had everything that the criteria asked him to have: size, shape, posing..you name it he had it are you honestly gonna tell me that he should never have been in an olympia becuase he was short? Christian was one of my favs but lets face facts he had no calves and his legs were sub-par. If you took a shot of both Lee and Mike from the waist down and put them side by side who do you think would win? Front to back Labrada crushed him-in the legs department. Lee's upper body was awsome as well, he had better abs and intercostials than mike did. I don't see how you can honestly say that Labrada had no business beating him. I can see a top form Mike going at it with Lee and beating him or vice versa but no way can anyone say Lee had no business beating mike.
