Szkalaks upper body was insane. His lower body was lagging and he never brought it up. He liked to blame politics for his low placings but his legs were weak.

Preface this by saying none of those guys have giant guts, etc. but still amazing how nubret nearly matches them all in arm size yet still has a very small waist.

How can we have regressed so badly in the last 34 years.


They all look better than the current Olympia line-up, and two of them were out of their prime, Oliva and Nubret...
