Pretty physiques.... a la Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray, Dexter Jackson
Or the freaks.... Branch Warren, Markus Ruhl, Mike Matarazzo
Mike Arvilla, I have a feeling you prefer the freaks. ;D
-
i wouldn't consider dexter's physique "pretty"
-
I prefer the prettier physiques. A combination of the aesthetic physique with freaky mass and detail is ideal such as with Lee Haney, Kevin Levrone, Lee Priest, Flex Wheeler, and 98-99 Ronnie Coleman.

But if u check it.. of all the freaks... from a picture point of veiw.. flex wheeler dwarved lot of freaks in certain bodyparts.. at a much lighter bodyweight.. that is what i consider freaky... not oh im 300lb but u have to tell somebody...
ie look at wheelers arms to any of the freaks... looks bigger than markus..nasser...gunter
purely because of his genes..muscle sweep fulness and shape..
a lot of guys who are like 280 are just that heavey because they have bigger bones denser bones...
only a couple of guys i would consider freaks... in admiration...
paul dillet.. and also vic richards...i also admire mike francious...priest is also a freak in his own right huge muscles good shape... genetically gifted...

Both even if you like the freaks who could not like the look of a Flex Wheeler

i agree with you meso, Flex was a freak in his own right, i've always hated these jackasses like Kamali, Titus who always have to run around telling everyone in sight that they're 300 pounds or 280 or whatever when they look 230, who gives a shit.
-
true..
check it...
priest arm is bout 23 inch..
how big is nassers arm in comparison...
same.. flex is guns round 23..
how big is gunters arm...
how big does it look!?

I never understanded how Flex became that huge suddenly, he was pretty small with small joints.

you see the same shit in the gym all the time, the 270-300 lb. slob with the 48 inch waist who tells everyone he's 275 and benches 500 but looks smaller than the 210 lb. guy who looks 260.

Flex definetly looked better at a lighter bodyweight. Hell, he looked good at any weight.

There's no "either/or" to me. The best bodybuilders, in my book have BOTH size and aesthetics. One example, is Gary Strydom, particularly during his reign as WBF Champion. Others include IFBB Hall of Famer, Ron Love. "The Flexing Dutchman" Berry DeMey (WBF); then, there's that "other" 8-time Mr. Olympia ;D !

I think Flex really was agreat example of how a smaller bodybuilder can look freakier than a large one. He certainly had no trouble beating Nasser at the Night of Champions even though he weighed 60 lbs less.

As for what I prefer, I can appreciate both. As much as I love Ruhl I still admire the physiques of classic bbs like Bill Pearl

Inquiry for a Collegiate Project: I would like to preface this post by saying I apologize for hijacking this thread but I do have a limited time constraint and need input A.S.A.P.
Dear Getbigger’s,
I was hoping that some of you would be able to help me out; I have a project due for college pretty soon. We got to choose the subject matter and topic at hand I chose to detail the specific weight training regimen(s) of a certain group of characters. Specifically, I need to know what you think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would dead-lift, squat, and bench. I need to know what each specific character would be capable of as well. I’m sure that Michaelangelo does not put up the same poundage’s as his diet is rather haphazard while someone like Leonardo is more disciplined. I myself do not lift weights and only bench 250lbs for 20 reps. (a friend of mine as a bench in his basement and I thought I would try it out and see how it went.) I hope I get some serious responses on a rather odd topic, this is going to be a very specific project on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s and your input is very important to me and my grades.

the ones you're calling pretty were the freaks of their day.

hahahaha, so you don't lift weights but you have a one rep max of around 385 lbs. on the bench press huh? hahahahaha. ::)

"pretty" is not a good word for the comparison.
Balanced/aesthetic/proportional/flowing.....
The best guys are those who have the best overall appearance of mass and muscularity plus the above qualities. Flex is brought up a lot here.....and for damn good reason. Kevin Levrone as well.

"pretty" is not a good word for the comparison.
Balanced/aesthetic/proportional/flowing.....
proportional and balanced are functions of relation, not pure size. you can have a 6' 200 pound bodybuilder with poor balance and proportion. likewise, someone can be 300 pounds and be in perfect proportion. ronnie coleman isn't "pretty" by any means but even at 300 pounds on stage is in great proportion except for his calves.
flowing is a purely subjective word. what you call flowing i might not. for example, frank zane just looks small to me. i don't see anything appealing about him at all, certainly nothing that ever deserved to be called mr olympia.

I laughed out loud when I read is in great proportion with the exception of his calves , nonsense , he has always had poor balance & proportion , his calves are undersized & and quads oversided , his midsection at anything about 250lbs is a serious problem , his biceps & triceps are way to big for his forearms , his ass sticks out from the front and his as big as a Buick , when he was about 250lbs it tied together a litter better but its always been medicore , having strong bodyparts can be a weakness because it makes the weaker ones standout even more.

zane looks awesome in those pics, put him in any show today and id back him to win

Give me a list of names of pros with greater waist-to-chest and waist-to-shoulder ratios then.
On an absolute scale his waist is quite large but he has more than enough upper body mass to create a very dramatic taper relative to his waist size.
Coleman has a good taper when veiwed directly dead on and when his abs are held firmly , which for him is rare , he may still have a excellent taper but it doesn't help in the aesthetics dept , he can't effectively do twisting shots , when his twists his torso his gut becomes evident , when he is relaxed which he is notorious for onstage , his obliques stick out and his gut protrudes and it takes away from his entire physique
They say that whenever a person looks at the body their eyes automatically fall on the midsection , hits the center of the whole body and the hallmark of every great champion has been a small , tight , flat waist , the title of Mr Olympia is the zeinth of bodybuilding perfection , it means you're litteraly the best of the best and it takes away from the title when the best bodybuilder on the planet looks pregnant , this is one of the biggest ( no pun ) problems with the sport , and the shame of it is , Ronnie used to have a miniscule waist , and Yates in 92 at 242lbs had a tight small waist , now the top 3 at this past Olympia all had nice guts going on , the 3 best bodybuilders on the planet all look women in thier 3rd trimester , its really a shame that the newer guys to the sport accept this as part & parcel as being a big bodybuilder and being part of the sport , like many have said the sport is going backwards not forwards.
p.s. this pic is from the 2005 Olympia , it shows that when not held firmly in place Ronnie's gut is wide & protrudes , and compared to 1998 its a far cry from what it used to be

jay is so over rated! on the day of the show ronnie is the father, jay is his child ;)

but you wish you were 8)
I don't want to be him any more than I want to be Jesus Christ. I just admire them both a great deal.

how can you call a body builder, a serious one pretty? they have either freaky amounts of muscle that over bear the non freaky parts or they are symmetrical. there is no pretty there may be more desireable or attainable but never pretty. a female may be pretty but a guy come on what people want is a good clean cut look. they want size and definition in a perfect balance.
personally i love the freaks and the symmetrical guys to look like them is unattainable for myself but i love to see what some good hard work can produce. and on a side rant who cares if they use roids or don't? we want size and all that if they wanna use it and are happy with the results let them. as long as they are healthy let them be, and enough with the paper thin skin i just wanna see the mass and the cuts why hurt yourself so much only to be paper thin it looks unreal. and as a side note, i have great respect for these guys and what they do i being in the marines put my body through hell and can only imagine what these guys would have to do to get the look they have
