Morant was one of the WBF guys...his son starred at Syracuse and has had a haltingly successful carerr with Raiders...unsure if he is still with them

[hipolito mejia]

Then:

Chest-Arnold
Biceps-Arnold/Beccles/R Robinson/Coe
Triceps-Mentzer
Forearms-Viator/Mentzer/Rosbo
Deltoids-Howorth/Tinnerino
Back-R Robinson
Abs-Ron Teufel
Thighs-Platz/Zane
Calves-Mentzer/Waller

Now

Chest-JOJ (although they all pose it worng)
Biceps-Darrem Charles
Triceps-Paul Demayo
Forearms-Lee Priest
Deltoids-Levrone
Back-Yates
Abs-Honestly can't think of any I'd call 'best'
Thighs-Kai Greene
Calves-?

Traps- Ferrigno

Arnold had better calves than both mentzer and Waller.
Franco better back than Robby R.

Now- matarrazo,Yates and Cutler for better calves.

[RZA]

Sorry but Franco never had a better back than RR. He just had better lats and that was due to lower insertions. Back is not just lats. Robinson had a better back overall.

[njflex]

90'S up if considered now abs thierry pastel,milos....quads was demayo.calves yates,pastel,taylor.chest warren,james in shape,arms PRIEST........

[RZA]

Pastel is an unsung hero. Except for his height, pretty much flawless.

[wes]

Pastel had some big ass arms too!

[RZA]

Look at that fuckin' waist. It seems that we'll never ever see guys like him or Buchanan on a stage again.

[njflex]

pastel in 91 was a top contender in every mid level show that yr,mags talked him up glowingly every article,that yr him,jj marsh,taylor ,renel javier,were the top guys in those shows.

[wes]

Serge Nubret had some of the best abs and thickest ripped pecs ever!

[Parker]

Agreed...but I would put Samir as a combo of 'then' and 'now'

[AVBG]

On the subject of Nubret, is there any pics in existence of him doing  a regular front double biceps?
