Serge Nubret without a doubt .... Perfection

he looked amazing, as close to perfection as a human being could be  yes, but I really think his waiste was too small personally.

No such thing. He was a shade under 15 stone. Was THE greatest bodybuilding illusionist of them all.

those pictures are something youll never see again ,, ron colman show there the condition of dorian yates,,very close... and the size of sheer muscle diamater no one ever displayed on ifbb profesional stage,,  his actual conditoned size there ,,his OWN legit size enhanced by hormones but its his size no seo...and no mega dosing insulina....his own legit size is surpassing anything youll ever see ,, not even lionel whatever his name is,,

i just do not think a ron colman will ever be seen ,, it takes a specific fella with specific build to go through powerlifting and maintain his build with no injurys and go into bodybuild and train like powerlifter and combine it both and respond tremendesly to the hormones and build foundation with aas and go to hgh and then introduce insulina instages,, everything fell right for ron colman ...he didnt rize up super fast he was just there like bobbie...but ron colman responded tremendesly to hormones and training at the abolit max of the max of responders and this was after! he already had base of powerlifting and really liked weight lifting,, ...it just something that come once every 200-300 years,, i doubt you will see it ever again ,,

dorian was great yes amazing condition ,, but ron colman ....this is just alien ,, something you wont see again ,,

def the best bodybuild ever on planet earth with arnold there more for the spirit and for what he did for bodybuild...but ron colman hold this title and is far far ahead of the other top 5 who make top 6 bodybuilders ever

True, Ronnie, Dorian, Arnold, Jay, any other Mr. Olympia you can think of was the true meaning of what bodybuilding should be... years of hard work, dedication, basically the guys who not only have probably been training harder, dieting longer, with better genetics, and the balls to gear up and build a true foundation for competition, but patient enough to go through things in stages.

Yeah, the problem with Phil Heath is, he grew way too fast, but the era he is ushering in is one where anyone can blow up overnight and be admired and respected as far as they are good responders to drugs. That's why bodybuilding will soon become, and before you know it, it will become considerably faster more easy than Phil Heath to get to your maximum genetic potential with drugs..

My top 6 of all time:

Shawn Ray-1996
Arnold Schwarzenegger-1973
Flex Wheeler-1993
Samir Bannout-1983
Dorian Yates-1996
Ronnie Coleman-1998

No particular order

[Palpatine Q]

Frank Zane gets the nod because he is a true bodybuilder - a craftsman and a sculptor. He is one of the few competitive bodybuilders who knew the limits of how much size he ought to carry and how to present himself to make himself look even better.

People go on about Flex Wheeler but anything after 1993 and you are talking about a sack of bubble plastic. He is not a bodybuilder in the classical sense. He destroyed his physique, like so many of the current generation, but simply going for size. If he had stuck with what he had in 1993 and worked on detail while adding a little bit of size each year, he would have been something special.

Frank "twist my hips in every pic" zane is an ovverated twink.

Flex wheeler destroys him

Flex was amazing in '93, specially the AC and the Ironman. But after that, he was overated.

Wheeler would have destroyed Zane had he not destroyed his own phsyique after 1993.

Wheeler may have been a freak genetically but he had no sense for cradftsmanship and THAT, monsieur, is why Wheeler can never compare to Zane.

The closest bodybuilder to Zane these days is Dexter. He screwed up a little with the calf thing a few years ago but he stopped that and never let his physique go beyond what it looks best as.

The result? He won an Olympia...

who gives a shit how long anyone trained?  how hard they worked?  how much they suffered?  bodybuilding is about having an awesome body, not being an ascetic.

I agree ,you don have to be ascetic to be a bodybuilder.

[erics]

Sure, but you have to be aesthetic.

Otherwise you'd just be a strongman with low bodyfat.

[yates fan]

the posts gh15 put in this thread are my fav.of any posts he put on getbig and most true,i am so glad at least he understand ronnie didnt use the synthol and have to abuse insulin,which goes to show that not all top pros take and do everything the same like lot of dipshits believe.day will come when a bodybuilder takes time to build foundation and then add in all the extras and crush the current crop,maybe he wont have ronnie coleman genes,but because of foundation and not abuse slin he will crush the rest.

[slaveboy1980]

coleman has a weird ab structure....a massive MINUS

no one which such ab structure can be the greatest ever...no matter how good the rest is. instant disqualification

the above in bold is an excuse as zane couldnt get bigger so there is a the aesthetics argument. zane was a swimmer

I don't doubt this is true with a lot of pros, but in Zane's case, he focused in his condition, I mean, he was 3 times Mr. O and he defeated bigger guys. He wasn't just a small aesthetic guy. Anyway, just my opinion.
