I think I'd put Haney and Ferrigno in there somewhere.

Me, too, especially since Serge looked really good in two or three poses ... the rest, not so much. There's a reason we don't see him throwing down lots of front biceps and back poses.

big.... yes not great shaped like flex or coleman or priest or marko..... or pastel or baker, dexter or levrone and the list goes on

An early pic of Nubret.

Nubret had good a muscle and skeletal structure.

Coleman added a lot mass to a non flowing structure.

Bodybuilding seems to be about piling on as much crap as possible to cover up inherent flaws.

A few people just happen to pile a lot of muscle on a good structure. But people with good structures look good whether they lift or not. Like Reeves. Reeves looked like "Reeves" as a teenager.

Old school guys actually trained chest real hard.

Then, they didn't overdevelop the delts to the point that they overshadowed the chest. Today's pros just go nuts on shooting up the delts in the hopes of looking best in a front relaxed pose so they'll get called out first. Same with shooting up the arms.

And then there's the horrendous posing. Nobody hits a side chest anymore. Everyone does a "side-hands-clasped-most-muscular".

Simply put: most guys don't have the balls to site-inject their chests today as much as they pin their arms and delts. So, the delts and arms outsize the chest, making the chest look smaller in comparison.

Unlike the days of old, when guys didn't have to pin as much shit all over the place, so there wasn't as much need to spread the huge amount of pinning out all over the arms, and delts, and traps, and calves, and outer quads, etc... There certainly wasn't synthol. And though guys pinned, they took a lot more orals because there was great supply of good quality orals everywhere - you didn't have to worry much about fakes. And when you did pin stuff, it was properly dosed, it was high quality, and it wasn't some home brew shit with 50mg/ml. It had 200mg/ml and the dosage on the bottle was what was in the bottle, and you didn't need 10ml of stuff per day to get big. You could get away with a cc every day, even if you were Grymkowski or Arnold. Less pinning means less times to hit the arms and delts, meaning they don't get stupid-sized, meaning the chest continues to look symmetrically big.

Then of course, the massive leg growth we see today on the stage does make chests look smaller. If guys had properly proportioned legs, like they did back in the day (yes, I think today's pros have legs that are too stupid big), then chests today would look massive too. It's all relative, and about proportion.

Of course, this thread is a classic case of reinforcing beliefs. Start a thread about "best chest" - post old school pics - believe that old school guys all had the best chest.

Though I won't argue old guys had good pecs, so do today's pros. Just that today's pros screw it up with over-site-injections, too much leg size, and not posing correctly.

snx nice job there,,,,i like big chest over crazy delt look ,,delts look nice and i train them hard but my chest is better body part and think with abs looks better overall than all delts,,
