Is that *really* 25 years of progress though?

It doesn't really seem like "progress" does it?

Not too much. Guys are drier these days, and Dickerson was certainly ahead of his time in terms of low bodyfat levels. But the average person would rather look like Chris any day.

Dickerson had a great physique ! Even if his arms were small, so what

he still looked very good

I think his type of conditioning and balanced physique ushered to some degree a new era that was extended by Samir and Lee Haney, gone were the days of the majorly "top heavy" guys like Arnold, Oliva, Nubret & Columbo

Are u fucking high?!?!?

You placed middle of the pack at a local show.
I won the overall at my first state show, after bbing for 3 years.

You took 20 years to place somewhere in the middle.

Props for sticking it out though. I can't dance for shit, I can't imagine devoting 20 years of my life to dancing just so I could look average at a local dance competition.

haney, dickerson, yates, a number of the all-time greats have had small or weak arms. i know dorian had big triceps, but no one will ever claim his arms looked particularly good.

Chris Dickerson deserved everybit of that sandow. It is funny to see how insecure people are with crap genetics posing pictures everywhere.

Those shots look like they were taken around 74th & broadway.

Chris is from the older era of BBs like Pearl and Scott, in fact Pearl trained him and other black BBs. Aside from the physique, there's no doubt that the class these guys have was a big advantage in winning over other BBs with great physiques who didn't have Olympian personas to match. Weider wanted eloquence and a more refined manner in his winners, whenever possible. Chris had it.

1980 had Mentzer's name written all over it.
1981 had either Danny Padilla or Platz.
1982 should have had Casey Viator or again Platz.

Another delusional Mentzer fan; he was good but never the best!

Padilla & Robinson were robbed.

I saw the 1980 Olympia contest, and Mentzer literally blew everyone else off stage IMO. He would have probably kept winning it, as he would have kept getting bigger and bigger. He would have no doubt taken it for 3 years. Plats was unbalanced, and Padilla would not have won because of his height.

samir > dickerson '82
