[joswift]

I agree,but I was talking about Birdsong.

Look at the potential Paris had............Jesus.

 

Sorry pal

If the Olympia had come after the Universe in 83 then Paris career would have been far better.
It was the first time that it had happened, normally the worlds were before the Olympia and the winner could enter the Olympia
Paris spent too much time touring after the Worlds and struggled to get back in shape for 84, the rest is history

Just looked for reall early Birdsong pics....not one to be found in my search anyway.

I used to own every muscle book ever published and remember the pics well.

Birdsong had freaking insane forearm development.

Who cares anyway right?

Paris would have been a bigger version of Samir....

[Never1AShow]

I think it was the lighting at that show.  Everyone looked amazing.  Bodybuilding promoters should have been trying to duplicate that for decades.

Bob Paris took 11th.  Demey 9th.  Hany, Gaspari, Labrada 1, 2, and 3.

Jesus H Christ I know the lightning is great and all but I’ve forgotten how good haneys thickness was and Gasparis back was absolutely shredded and that was 34 Years ago  😳😳😳

Used to see Frank all the time, lived near me

Hes still knocking around, must be nearly 80 now

Paris was superb!  Uncrowned Mr. Olympia?  I think so.  I am certain that Haney was gifted a few by Weider to try and "humble" Arnold.  Labrada looked better a couple of times and Paris just looks better all the time.  Haney?   Totallee gifted.  FTN.

I don’t think Paris had the torso to take Haney in any of Haneys win.

However Paris would’ve had taken the MrO from 1976 to 82 if he was around in his prime.

I disagree.

Haney probably lost one “drug tested” Olympia to Christian.

Once you stood Labrada beside Haney he completely disappeared. Once they turned around for back poses, it was all over.

Notice how the relaxed stance of old,doesn`t have have these guys looking like they have a barrel under each arm?

Looks way better than the retarded new way of standing.

I can understand that line of reasoning and it can make sense to a degree but...

...The same could be said of Padilla but to me he was a miniature Arnold.  I just think Haney is waaaaaay overrated but I don't mind if others think differently.  I think Labrada was excellent  but I also think more  highly of Padilla.

Haneys legs in the rear double bicep look like a cripple

Haha - yes true - so does Strydom for that matter - he almost looks like some shaking special needs kid - terrible business

Compare that to my man Mr DeMey on the left - now that is how you hit that pose





(Hmmm... I'm sure I've seen a UK GetBigger use that sort of flair for his posing... )

Photographer friend always told me make more angles and sweeps, theres more to look at than someone standing straight up and down

Labradas Front double biceps classic example

[SweetDaddySiki]

I'm surprised he got that ripped cause I remember a Mr. International contest in Columbus OH on ESPN in the 80's where Arnold interviewed him and Paris thought that you can get too big or too cut and it wasn't good for your aesthetics. On a side note, I've always been surprised that his first two books never became big in the classic physique or instagram/aesthetics communities. I completed the routines in Flawless and got an excellent beach body though it was hard to recover as a natural. I did the program again years later and broke it down in half (training a bodypart once a week instead of twice) and got better results because I was able to recover easier.
