Some great physiques in this thread, Bodybuilding at its finest when guys had to be complete at lower bodyweights,it was more of a sport back then than a science experiment instead of just craming the mgs and ius into them to outgrow their weaknesses and shoot the shit out of everything, they had to adapt training,not that they dont now but Bodybuilding has gone down hill since the introduction of HGH and insulin thats for sure, guys are bigger and rounder, but they dont have the seperation of days gone by.
Disagree. I'm don't get that smaller was better argument in any sport esp bodybuilding. It's always been the way it is today, the biggest guys dominates now and did since Sergio back in the 60's. Sergio, Arnold, Haney, Dorian, Ronnie, Cutler even Dexter won because they were the biggest & best with the least amount of flaws. Franco and zane were the exceptions,there were also no good big men that they competed against. Had Arnold not retired, neither would've won a title.
Those guys pictured above all had exceptional standout physiques in those era's, not representative of the typical physiques in that era. You can't take those pics and say, hey, here's what guys look like in the 80's and show Bob Paris, Labrada, Ray, Demey etc or show Flex, Shawn, Cormier, Levrone, etc in the 90's and say this is what guys lok like then. thats what those guys looked like but for every one of those guys there were 10's of guys who looked like crap, just like today.
