If you think about it, the first mr olympia to bring in a muscular, proportionate, ripped and dry physique was bannout in 83. Up till then, there hadn't been a total package like that. He set a new standard. That year the transition between the old days and a new standard began.
Arnold 74 was great, in his own league
Zane 79 was ultra, never-before-seen ripped, 1980 if not for injury he was bigger and with same conditioning wouldve been unbelievable. As it turned out, he looked like shit compared to his own standard. Shouldve pulled out.
That 83 bannout set the standard for the 80s and beyond conditioning wise, until yates
Yates 93 showed mass and rock hard graininess, so much dry muscle on a frame
Ronnie 98 is beyond words
Since then, nothing to see.
