Who had the best physique ever (of the winners) and what year?

I'll go with the GOAT of course - Lee Haney 1991.
Last of the era before the GH, SLIN and bellies stared showing up.
I like Dorian, but I feel Haney is the last of a certain era. (Golden Era Physique).
(Mass, symmetry, proportion, etc).

It's hard to compare eras, so my decision is based on who had the fewest flaws in their physique in the year they won. Samir Bannout comes out on top for me.

Samir did look amazing in '83...

Haney hands down Mass monster with condition who can still do a Vacuum. He also had a better chest than Dorian smaller waist better structure was still crazy condition almost like a bigger stronger Flex Wheeler without the SEO shit

91 Haney was awesome, but 93 Yates destroys him.

So either 93 Yates or 2003 Coleman.

There were better versions of Coleman, but that one was most shocking.

MCWAY · « **Reply #6 on:** September 08, 2021, 08:51:19 AM »

So far, I've narrowed it down to three.

Lee Haney - 1991 (Haney finally learned how to peak

)

Ronnie Coleman - 1999 (it's the closest Olympia version to the 2001 ASC)

And, in a bit of a shocker to some,

Brandon Curry - 2019 (Mr. O from the waist up for years; went to Kuwait, fixed them legs, and got an ever BIGGER back).

Haney. People talk about other Mr. O's being mass monsters but Haney had the genetics to be bigger than he ever was. He just didn't go the way of GH and insulin and end up with a belly too. I would guess he could have held another 15-20 lbs of muscle on his frame before distention would even begin to show.

He said that, in 1987 or 1988, he was 257 but was told by the judges that he was pushing it and his waist would suffer if he got any bigger.

Even without GH and slin we probably didn't see Haney and a lot of the guys before him at their full potential.

Haney quit pretty young. Samir got lazy after winning in 83. Arnold and big Louie got side tracked by Hollywood during their prime. Sergios ego and BB politics got in his way.

Small waist guys it's Arnold, Haney and Sergio. Big waist bubble gut guys it's Yates, Cutler and Coleman.

BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT · « **Reply #13 on:** September 08, 2021, 05:54:38 PM »

1983 SAMIR BANNOUT.

pamith · « **Reply #14 on:** September 08, 2021, 06:00:53 PM »

Imo Arnold, second place is Dorian

93 Yates had the best shoulder to waist ratio I've seen.

I'd say that about Haney 1988.

Yates has cinder block genetics like Cutler. Golden Coleman had nice aesthetics but wasn't a top 6 Olympian. It comes down to Haney and Arnold and who had the best legs that day.

nerdoldnerdith · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2021, 10:08:41 PM »

The Screw Your Freedom cuck in 1974 had probably the best physique of all time.

You're right. 93 Yates might be the best of all time.

I rather go with Haney; when posing his lines were superior than Yates .... Followed by Ronnie 98' or 99' his lines were superior .

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BE YE KE

Arnold. Fuck Haney. Screw Dorian. And Coleman? That witless fuck is a mindless blob of corpulence now and before he was nothing but 99% drugs. I look forward to Coleman's obit. It'll be brief, like his attention span. I think Zane is better than those guys. Sergio was also better. And Serge Nubret (not a Mr. O winner, I know) makes them look like crap too.

I think Yates was okay until he tore himself apart and then he was gifted out the wazoo as were Haney and Coleman.

Bigger isn't by default, "better" A pile of elephant shit isn't better than a pile of dog shit. Unless you're a horde of hungry flies. In that case Coleman was a veritable SchmoeTown ButtFet...
