While I appreciate your eagerness, it took you literally 1 minute and 4 seconds to reply to this thread after I created it! Dude, how often do you hit refresh? You must be constantly lurking on here.

I get the feeling you want to suck Nether's cock.  Pretty sure he's not wired that way.

Indeed. Amazing.

This physique, in this condition, would render Heath near-invisible on any stage.

Too bad he wasn’t more focussed during his best years.

He should have won in 1999 or at least beaten that overrated wheeler that year

Should have never lost to dexter or jay at the Arnold’s and even lee priest I recall from the austrialian Grand Prix

2004 Arnold him or Dex had it. Jay looked way overdieted and flat.

To correct Tomn8er, Serge Nubret also did the ab wave way before Cormer and if I remember correctly John Grimek did it way before Nubret. Going even further back, Eugene Sandow did it maybe before anyone.

Anyway, I don't think Cormer would beat Phil but he'd probably be top 5. His back is great but not as great as Phil. The rest of him is pretty good, up there with Phil.
Serge didn't do it up and down, he did something akin to an "ab refresh".

Cormier was probably the most balanced and symmetrical  bodybuilder of all time. Front to back, up and down, balanced. And as was stated in the vid, this was possibly why he was overlooked. As well as due to politics (in term of losing to Jay, and even Flex).

Prime Ronnie would’ve overpowered that version all day, all week, all year. For centuries.

Chris’s physique from a bbing standpoint he has less flaws than Coleman, more balanced, head to toe chris is pretty developed. Ronnie lacks calves, abs are odd with a gut, and the bigger he got although impressive in a mass standpoint he was not balanced at all, just a big blobs of mass

Don’t get me wrong Ronnie was impressive in 2003 and 2004 but too many flaws and that’s what’s wrong with modern bbing

Cormier could in theory go up to 260-275 competition weight, and still keep that look, whereas Ronnie had a gut problem at those weights.

Never thought his shape was that great.  He didn't look bad, but his muscle bellies were kind of flat. Kevin, flex, dexter and all of the other top bodybuilders of that era had extremely round musclebellies.  His physique had no sweep except for his front lat pose, which was impressive. When he flexed, muscles didn't seem to pop. Even in that video, his biceps look almost exactly the same before he hits a biceps pose as when he hits it.


Honestly, I think being "perfectly balanced" is sort of a flaw for a bodybuilder. A dominant bodybuilder should have a bodypart or an aspect of their physique that stands out.

One of the most complete bodybuilders of that era. Zero weak points and a good poser (other than the ass shaking) I guess not having a freak factor was his only weakness considering that’s what was rewarded during most of his career
