why don't modern pros inhale and "pop up" his chest like arnie and katz when they do that pose. It seems more impressive the way arnie and katz did theirs..

bc these guys today look like blow-up, formless dolls compared to the stars of that era

I think Levrone's side chest is the most balanced. Aesthetic but huge too. Arnold? Are you kidding? Where is the triceps? Where is the side delt? Where is the REAR delt???

guess you don't expect Arnold to ever be handing you the ASC trophy.....

Yeah you should wonder 'cause Arnold had one of the best lower bodies at that time...

Indeed.

I agree, I just said that because I didn't want to start a 5 page debate.

Whats most amazing about Arnold was how great he looked and muscular back 30 years ago and his body back then is still better than anyone's today. The guys today might be bigger and more bloated and even more cut but 99% of that is due to the drugs. Back then there weren't many choices for drugs and equipment was nothing compared to todays and even the diet knowledge was so much less. Yet the Arnold had a better upper body than anyone to day. He was awesome

Someone like Flex Wheeler=lazy ass, only trained, and not hard, when juiced

Arnold=hardest gut busting training imagineable

the gyms wouldnt make much difference, you dont need fancy hammer stregth machines to build a top physique, all had access to the best cheap and abundant steroids etc etc........diet, insulin/hgh is all thats realy changed

One arm must be cinched up under the rib cage to be a legit side chest shot.

If your stomach is too bloated to do that, then it ain't a "side-chest" shot, it's simply a shot of the chest from the side.......

Arnold's height definitely came into play. I don't care if his physique still looked the same but was 5'6'', I think everything in his life would've played out different.

Says who? Is there an official manual as to how one must position himself when doing a "legit" side-chest pose?

ronnie, without a doubt

I just thought that was jay cutler on the whole first row!! Not until I did a double take did I realize that they where different people.

I guess it's true what the old farts say about today's bodybuilding..

M3 - a candidate?

I'm a huge Yates fan, but Levrone pretty much owns the side chest shot

Genius · « **Reply #42 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:45:14 AM »

LLES:

Levrone mastered both the sidechest and the most muscular-pose!

mastered = knew how to get full potential out of what he had (how to stand, use angles etc.)

(For example: Ronnie didn't "know" how to do it properly but he was so freaky it looked good anyway.)

only shots ronny totaly masterd were the 2 back shots and the trap over most muscular,,,,

Wait ND and other Dorian nuthuggers will say everyone in this picture loses to Yates because they are all doing the pose "wrong" (since they are not doing the pose the way Dorian did)

And I wonder who is the homo that opens up the talk about nuthuggers again. Oh, right.
