You have a point. In the old days, one could look at someone like Zane and be motivated to train to try and look like him. Now, you just watch it like you would a Freakshow. That's the only way to appreciate it, but hey... as a Freak..it's hard to top Branch.

Oh please!  No matter how roided the muscles get... no matter how small the thongs get... no matter how much of a freak show it is... no matter how gay it is (musclegallery, muscle escorts, Weider, Blechman, etc.) admit it: you're not going anywhere!  ::)

you're an idiot Sev. Back in those days, people looked at Zane and Arnold the way we look at Cutler and branch nowadays. They thought that they were taking it too far and too extreme. If guys like Zane and Arnold would be competing today with the same mentality they had back then, they would be taking just as much, if not more, drugs than the current guys are taking. Arnold started dbol at what, 13?

That's what the judges places higher these days.  Someone with Zane or Nubret's physique would not even get their pro card, and therefore bodybuilders strive for the "freak" look in order to get anywhere in the sport.  The judges need to be able to distinguish between physiques to place a winner, and if they went back to the old standard there would be thousands and thousands of such physiques (since the old physiques are much more easily obtainable today) and it would be impossible to for judges to differentiate and award a certain few their pro card, choose between which 20 or so will qualify for the Olympia, etc.  Therefore, naturally, each competitor strives to get bigger and bigger to differentiate and place higher.  If someone with Serge's physique was given their pro card over a typical winnner these-days, the majority of fans would be in uproar.  There's really nothing that can be done to reverse this.

Well said Bob's there are plenty of guys walking around with good physiques and the standard has changed to accomodate the BB who can "outfreak" his colleagues, however in trending towards this  freakier look the sport has planted the seeds for its own destruction, case in point; Olympia used to be on TV/PPV but now you can barely watch a decent webcast, BB magazine sales are at an all time low, and the negative attitudes and lack of support amongst fans, heck most people on this board look down on pros, whereas back in Arnold's day those guys were respected.  I also think that the whole gay for pay thing has contributed to a lack of respect for BB's, what happened to balancing a job and BB career  ???

Yes, judges would place them lower (otherwise these physiques would be on the Olympia stage today).  Also, fans would be in uproar - majority would say how did this sub-200 lb guy with no legs beat the 260 lb guy.  Fans might prefer looking like these guys on a daily basis, but judges would place them lower.

BTW :

  I noticed that the people who argue me are a part time gym lifter who worships the granddaddy of " rhino aesthetics " and a "guy" who would love to literally fuck Branch "JEHWIT'S WET DREAM " Warren

i DON'T SEE ANY SEASONED COMPETITORS, TOP AMATEURS OR PRO'S ARGUING WITH ME

THAT'S BECAUSE those who have a clue know that this is turning really ugly nowadays

and for the intelligent bodybuilding community on getbig

is not that back in the day legs were too small

is that today the upper thighs are grosly overdeveloped

if you cannot spot musclegroups that are not in PROPORTION with the rest of the body you should get your vision checked or try casting oppinions on other "sports"

Sev is absolutely right, it's been bad enough that for a few years we've been told that the fridge has the best physique in the world, and now they tell us Branch Warren has the second best physique in the world.  Branch fuckin Warren.  It's just flat out a joke what bodybuilding has become when those two are considered the best in the world

No need to get all personal.

Fact is there are guys with classical builds like you posted who compete at state and national levels today, but do not get their pro cards because they are not "freaky" enough.  That's why I said these builds would not get their pro cards today.

What most of you people are forgeting is that there is more to success on a BBing stage then just your physique. Your charisma, and stage presence count for a lot. Arnold today would be just as successfull as he was in the bygone eras, simply because of his charisma. Think about it...did he always win because he was the BEST on stage, or did he always win, because if you were a judge you just wanted to get behind someone like him.

Also...subjective criteria can be your friend as well as your enemy...since there are no truly "correct" definitions of what the ideal is when judging...this makes it so that if you are able to "sell your act" and can project yourself as the winner...then people will mold and rationalize the criteria to fit your physique.

This of course only goes so far...Vince Goodrum couldn't win a show regardless of how much confidence he could exude...but I think you get my point.

Pushing the envelope isn't pretty - especially at something that has already "evolved" as much as bodybuilding...
...physiques like Arnold's, Zane's, Mike Mentzer's, etc. will live forever... don't worry so much.... quality has no expiration date...

Then feel free to back this claim up. The only national level competitor that I can think of would be Jorge Betancourt...but he doesnt compete very often. Danny Hester also comes to mind, but again...only competes sporadicaly.

That said... there isnt 1 pro in the last ten years worthy of carring Bob Paris's jock strap...let alone being "better." BBing has regressed...and this should be obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense.

He knows how to hide it by twisting his body. His waist isn't wide by normal standard but for his rather narrow structure it could be smaller.

I don't think there is any question regarding Arnold's rather wide waist.

I don't follow amateur shows much, but there are tons, including some who post on getbig....basically any top amateur competitor who does not have an insulin gut could resemble these guys in their best few shots if doing a professional photo shoot with the right lighting conditions (like the classical guys are in the pictures posted in this thread)

You have a point. In the old days, one could look at someone like Zane and be motivated to train to try and look like him. Now, you just watch it like you would a Freakshow. That's the only way to appreciate it, but hey... as a Freak..it's hard to top Branch.
x3. I could watch old tapes from the 70's and even the eighties. Astetics ruled, not freak shows. Today's bbdg is one giant circus freakshow.

you are either blind or stupid


Now you clearly feel like an idiot after I posted these shots of Zane's 27 inch waist and of his vacuum where you can clearly see his lumbar disks portruding through his stomach wall

So you are starting to yap about Arnold who looked like a ballerina compared to Jay " Arctic " Cutler or Branch " Sub Zero " Warren "

why are you on this site  ? ?

You know , you are right

they both are comparable

both have guts

the only difference is Zane's is concave and Branch's or Fridge's is convex

Now you clearly feel like an idiot after I posted these shots of Zane's 27 inch waist and of his vacuum where you can clearly see his lumbar disks portruding through his stomach wall

So you are starting to yap about Arnold who looked like a ballerina compared to Jay " Arctic " Cutler or Branch " Sub Zero " Warren "

why are you on this site  ? ?

You know , you are right

they both are comparable

both have guts

the only difference is Zane's is concave and Branch's or Fridge's is convex

Branch at the same level of muscularity as Zane resp. Arnold had a better structure IMO, his waist looked tiny.
I agree that his proportions are worse now. I was just talking about structure and I didn't compare them to Jay or Branch in their current condition.

Dude Sev are you totally drunk or something?  Would Frank and Arnold with their physiques of the past get a pro card today? No way, and that is because the judging is totally different now.  There really are plenty of guys on the state and national level that could compete with the guys of yester years and place just as high as they did.  You have to think there are alot more people in the world now and bodybuilding is much more popular than it was in the 60's and 70's.  And quit posting black and white pics next to pics of current bodybuilders in the offseason it makes you look like a moron trying to prove a point that doesn't even make sense.

Let me ask you this Sev, based on what scale that you can come up with are Frank and Arnold are the best two bodybuilders of all time?? I have nothing against the two of them and I do think bodybuilding should go back to what it once was and bodybuilding is more popular now than in the 60's and 70's as I stated. By the late 80's Frank and Arnold were done, because the time you talking about was in the late 80's to early 90's.Sev do you even know the point your trying to make? BTW: Sev, by todays judging standards Arnold and Frank would not place in the Olympia. Who are you trying to fool by even saying that?

The only true thing you said "realist" is that the judging has changed,and thats the point that sevastase is making.If bloated guts were not rewarded like they are today,then the top guys would have to re-think their drug use to get the look that won in the past.And please don`t say bodybuilding is more popular today,in the 80s and 90s it was shown on tv all the time here in the UK,now we get nothing,and its been that way for a few years.But we do get big time sports like womens pool. ::)

Black and White photography makes bodies look F-in awesome.  I'm with both sides on this one.  Those guys were the freaks back in the day.  When Sergio hit the scene, I'm sure all the Bill Pearl, Steve Reeves, and even Larry Scott fans flipped their friggin lid.  Having said that, I find nothing inspiring or attractive about todays bbers.  Back then man, those bodies were...art.

Did you even read my post? When I clearly stated that bodybuilding was at its peak in the late 80's and 90's. Also, I stated that bodybuilding is more popular now than in the 60's and 70's, which were Arnold and Frank's golden years.

That being said. I wish bodybuilding would take a turn for the better not the circus that it is now.  I grew up admiring Arnold, Labrada, Shawn, Mike ect. Nowadays, it seems to be all about just pure muscle and condition and nothing else i.e. Branch winning 2nd.

you're an idiot Sev. Back in those days, people looked at Zane and Arnold the way we look at Cutler and branch nowadays. They thought that they were taking it too far and too extreme. If guys like Zane and Arnold would be competing today with the same mentality they had back then, they would be taking just as much, if not more, drugs than the current guys are taking. Arnold started dbol at what, 13?

I don't know about when Arnold supposedly starting using Dbol, but you're dead on the money about how people view bodybuilders.

In fact, about two years ago, I bought an issue of IronMan with a picture of Arnold on the cover (a color pic of him in his prime). The cashier gave her unsolicited opinion, to the tune of "That's nasty!!.

Heck, I remember other students in school saying that about guys like Labrada and Ray from the late 80s (and neither one of them competed over 200 lbs. then).

As far as the fans and former competitors go, it's always a generational thing. The guys from the 50s thought the dudes from the 60s were "roid freaks" or "all drugs".

The guys from the 60s said much the same about the 70s bodybuilders, who in turn said as much about the fellows from the 80s.

And, the guys from the 80s talked the same mess about bodybuilders of the 90s. And (Surprise, SURPRISE), the folks from the 90s swear that they're the best; while, the new millenium competitors are "all drugs".

x3. I could watch old tapes from the 70's and even the eighties. Astetics ruled, not freak shows. Today's bbdg is one giant circus freakshow.

To a degree, bodybuilding has ALWAYS been a "freak shown". Heck, people though Zane was too massive, back in the day.

Show a pic of Zane, in his prime, to the average Joe or Jane, and at least 70% of the response you'll get is "That's gross!!", "That's too much!!" or "Steroids!!"

ALL relative to the times and judging of the era lee priest 5'2 or 5'4 freak,maakaway same height considered more classic lines,but considering zane is 5'9 as reported and cutler same height and competing almost 60/70 lbs heavier is just insane.sev has a good point there.

i rather look like the pictures from the past, today is freaks and it's impressive but who wants to look like that, there is no envy.

the best compliment a bodybuilder can get is when others say they want to look just like them.

that most muscular comparison between arnold and jay just shows how far the sport hasnt come, arnold is harder, more striated in the chest and better defined with far better muscle tie ins, mass with flow.

watching predator one night my mrs said arnold was too much, muscles looked disgusting and thats after slimming down alot.

Proof that body building has become a 'joke,' literally:

Fast forward to 7:30.  I laughed so hard when Scrappy's stomach popped out.  It was clearly a comment by who ever did the research that they'd come across the gut discussions.



I've never been a Jay Cutler fan.  In fact I was expecting him to redefine epic fail.  In the end I couldn't believe who was considered competition.  He was not the fridge of the past with the hugely distended stomach.  He is just huge.  I thought it was a move in right direction for the judges.  Branch on the other hand...

Are you saying that if Frank Zane stepped onstage today, the judges would say, "Swimmers, on your mark..." instead of "front lat spread", "side triceps" etc?

Seriously though, I agree to a certain extent and Jay's physique isn't the prettiest onstage, but it has so much muscle put together in not too shabby a way. Jay's look isn't an abomination like some of the ones we've seen (Greg Kovacs).

And Sevastase, different people have different ideas of what the ideal physique is and what it isn't. You obviously like the more slender, Apollonian physiques while there are plenty of other who like Herculean physiques, like Dorian Yates' (myself included). No one is right or wrong.
