Aesthetics is a combination of many factors , muscle size , shape , balance & proportion , a great natural structure , a great harmony between muscle groups that create a very beautiful total physique. aesthetic don't know a weight limit which is a popular misconception most people think being small is a prerequisite of aesthetics and its NOT they cover the weight range from a 175 pound Frank Zane all the way up to a 260 pound Chris Cormier .Things that hurt aesthetics are overdeveloped parts , extreme vascularity , extreme dryness , GH guts , bitch tits , etc

This is as good as it gets

Maybe but Paris is among the best the sport has ever seen in my opinion.

hey, its impossible to know what aesthetics means if you don't have the exact opposite to compare it in relative terms

[Dredlock Rasta]

Some people put way too much value on arms and forget that you need other bodyparts like back, chest, and shoulders something Wheeler was lacking in.



Tiny Arms


One of my favorite pics

Arms are the most important bodypart on a bodybuilder's physique

Serge Nubret looks better than anyone posted so far and this was 30+ years ago.  Unreal, thats what perfection looks like.  And its not as drug induced as the ones posted so far.

To me, aesthetics in bodybuilding identifies a true work of art, a masterpiece.

i agree with all said and the same names alway's come up when talking bout asthestic's,symmetry,ideal look,proportions,remember these guy's trained as much and as hard as the so called mass monster's.they just did what was given to them genetically,trained and dieted and that's how they developed,their's no training to be shaped or symmetrical,their body had balanced look no matter what they did,they didn't have the joint's or structure to be a true mass monster.they all at one time used and used the same drug's the bigger guy's did,just with different end result's.

why is zane up there?

[Livewire]

dumb f.uck Phil when he first started is the until for a natty.  Perfection

too bad that he is going to play the size game and f.uck it up. He needs to stop hanging around cutler

Phil is a great bodybuilder.  But not all parts of him will grow at same rate. his arms will grow like Coleman but his legs might grow like martinez.  he will lose that which makes him special
