That's the perfect leg size he looks like he could run where as the guys today look like pit bull legs waddling around, traps look way more astetic this size too.  There's a reason all these years later this is still the gold standard.

He's still The benchmark, also because:

- no ugly gangsta like tattoo's
- no piercings
- tall
- great skin (naturally tanned and bronzed white skin looks much imo better than black skin: even if Health puts on another 50 lbs of muscle, he will never get the benchmark look)
- handsome face and charisma
- no thong
- no SM outfits like Kai
- not bald but great hair
- he was very good with media/interviews etc, extrovert

While ideal leg size is always gonna be subjective in this pursuit,  any reference to looking like a runner as a positive automatically loses any debate....I doubt any bodybuilder would appreciate such reference!

you know because you know...there is no logic behind it other than respect for the direction the sport went in because of him..

You know when the size of the leg muscles makes the walk and run(their main purpose) a difficult activity,there is something wrong with it.

Coleman and platz, two of the most well developed sets of legs of all time, could both do the full splits, so doubt that walking was of difficulty to either of them.

You'd think this was a men's physique board by the dislike for big legs here....

Those are two totally different things.

The splits is due to flexibility. The difficulty walking is due to the legs being so big they cannot move forwards and backwards past each other in a straight line, resulting in a 'I've pissed my pants and don't want the cold patch to touch my leg' waddle.
