I think he looked pretty incredible in 1999.

Pretty much perfection right there in terms of what Bodybuilding should be...

Too bad he never won an Olympia or was a few inches taller

Perfection, of all the timid Masses that think big muscles look gross, not one would say that about this physique and that's what bodybuilding should be about..... not this circus shows of today

That was actually one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.

Mr O. Stage = Appliance Center

A lot of folks tried to emulate parts of his routine. Especially the kneeling one.

Shawn really had no weaknesses and was always in contest shape (when the time came)

he was articulate (even though not perfect like he wants to believe)

And he set standards that are still followed today.

Now, what does he look like today under all those baggies? Does he still have a trace of abs, or is he fat now?

I know that's not his focus and that it doesn't matter, but curiousity did indeed kill the kitty, right?

I don't think he is fat but definately not in shape, I really don't think heis on anything anymore. I know people think that people are gear for life, but shawn is all or nothing type...I bet he barely worksout now

High calves, but can hardly be noticed in this video

He does not have a gut. $:-\$ Is this what Bodybuilding used to be?

It's sad how fast pro bodybuilding has declined in only a decade. Now the "winner" is the one who takes the highest dose of insulin $:-\$

'94 easily.

Yep - 94 Olympia definitely with the 96 Olympia a close second.

GraniteCityDon · « **Reply #14 on:** June 17, 2011, 01:56:03 AM »

I liked his 92 presentation, shredded and IMO #1 that year. This short video should be deemed as an abomination as Shaun is showing everything that is deemed the perfect physique - the ideal - and as we all know that is something frowned upon in the BBing world by the powers that be.

IMO:

He would never have lost @ 202
He should have had atleast 1 solid (very obvious) win for the Olympia
Top 5 of all time, regardless of the generation

FitnessFrenzy · « **Reply #15 on:** June 17, 2011, 02:02:42 AM »

Shawn looks amazing in that 1999 clip. But Ronnie was unbeatable at that show IMO.

spude · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2011, 02:56:21 AM »

yep, this was probably his best...94 and 97 were the years he should've won, though, 99 ronnie was just almost like too good to be true

Where was his gut?

Have you not seen Jay's fridge midsection or Kai's?

oldtimer1 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2011, 06:00:27 AM »

One of the best of all time. He also has one of the best training dvd's/tapes, "To The Extreme." That was the first training tape I saw that wasn't staged BS.

jaejonna · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2011, 06:04:17 AM »

1994

Nirvana · « **Reply #23 on:** June 17, 2011, 06:30:11 AM »

He ~~looked the same year after year~~ was consistent, you can pretty much pic any year and he'll be in shape

JP_RC · « **Reply #24 on:** June 17, 2011, 06:51:45 AM »

1994 Olympia.
