When I was a teenager in the 1980s I saw this add in a magazine and it freaked me out!

While very impressive and I’m a big fan of Quinn’s. I’d say Strydom for my money. Or Ruhl for absolute freak factor.

From an old interview -

JQ: My arms have been up to twenty one inches and five eighths [55 cm], when I've bulked up and my legs stay around thirty inches [76 cm] all the time. My calves measure a cold twenty inches [51 cm]. I'm not one of those genetically blessed teeny waisted guys, so my mid–section around contest time goes down to about thirty three and a half inches [85 cm] and my chest to about fifty five inches [140 cm].

[This would've been around #270ish, No word if Billy Smith and Flex Wheeler were there.]

Strong ear game. Both width and mass. Way ahead of his time.

Oh, and Kevin would like a word with you

True,I forgot about Strydom.....great delts.

Quinn for that era perhaps. Overall, Ruhl.

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2022, 06:25:12 PM »

Great pictures though. Thanks for sharing.

To be fair, you've also got to go Synthol Era and Non Synthol era.

Ruhl was the first guy that made people go "whoa" about Synthol. Even Ernie Taylor didn't catch that much heat before Ruhl.

They weren't the biggest, like say Ruhl. But for the way they complemented his build, Levrone all day

Got to do legs with Jim Quinn/ Billy Smith (was visiting Golds Venice (early 90’s) … was using the leg press they wanted …asked if they could jump in with me ….ended up Doing the entire leg workout with them ) was intimidating definitely….. but both were very friendly and nice! … spotting yelling words of encouragement at me…. …. Legs were fried and I’ll Always remember it! ….
