Great vid and olympia.

Wonder why The Black Prince placed so low, though. You can tell he is frustrated  ???

Ron Love lives pretty close to me, might interview him sometime!

Great video of one of the great eras in pro BB history.

at 1:02,  Lee says ;"...floor poses are for midgets, big guys just need to stand and pose. "  ;D

The listed body wts prove that the current crop are bigger for the sake of being bigger, NOT better.
Lee looked incredible at 243 and nearly 6 ft tall.
Ronnie was his best around 256 .

Adding too much mass, ruins the lines and overall flow of the physique.

That was Mike Quinn's best showing on an IFBB stage.

This was bodybuilding.
