Both Levrone and Yates came in to flat and depleted in 1996.

Why, because it was documented on film? What was so great about it? Arnold wasn't at his best. Lou was nothing special that year. If we're going for 1970's, I'd day 1972, where we had Arnold pitted against Oliva (both at their best).

2013. Without a doubt. Jay's heroic comeback, Phil's great width improvements, Wolf & Kai's epic battle for 2nd.

They'll be talking about it for centuries.

Professional Bodybuilding turns most people off because it's an unhealthy looking, unnatural, fetishist cult.

3/4 of the judging should be based on conditioning and symmetry.

eh... ronnie was in good shape, but the rest of the lineup was 90s guys who were fading, as opposed to 93/95 where they were all in their prime.

look at Arnolds chest there. Best pecs ever.

I only started following bodybuilding in 1992 so any years prior to that don't mean much to me. So with that in mind I'd have to go with possibly 1993 or 1998.
