Coach - what did a typical back workout look like for you guys back then?

Didn't you train with Paris too?

Both in equal condition, Bob is the easy winner.

Rory has sloped shoulders, weird droopy pecs, lacks quad sweep etc. Can't find much fault in Bob's physique.

From that era, I liked Mendenhall's physique. He was more athletic looking

I don't think either Rory or Bob would look this good in the "Running Man" pose:

We've probably ran into each other. I would train there with Rory and Scott Livingstone. Amphetamines (and harder) were common back then just as they are now. You have to remember the dieting back then was much more extreme than now so anything that would kill an appetite and get you through your workout was used. Dieting today would have been like a daily cheat day back then.

I never saw any coke or amphetamines in the gym back then.  I heard of one guy using something like that (Fastin?) but most just used ECA and that was plenty and they were in as good shape as seen by Rory and Paris there.  Granted I wasn't part of the party crowd.  This was more late 80s early 90s than early 80s like the picture above.  Around the time Blocks gym became Golds Placentia.  Guys like Raul Fulcher and Lionel Rangel and Shawn Ray were also there around then.

Short torso and wide hips.

Short torso and wide hips.

You can always find something that may not be ideal. Personally I think long legs/short torso is superior to the opposite, nothing worse from an aesthetic standpoint than short legs. But it's subjective.

I also think symmetry is the wrong word to use about guys like Rory - the proper term is aesthetics.
A symmetrical guy can be ugly as hell whereas an unsymmetrical guy can be beautiful.

paris' legs were just a bit too big for the rest of him, and the same goes for jean-paul guillume

this here is perfect proportions.... legs, arms and torso all match perfectly
