I think Ruhl and Coleman brought it to a higher level than those two.

I'm the only one who thinks lighting and photographs play a huge part into why we consider the old BB are better?

Sure the Coleman, Yates, Levrone, Ray ... beats this year MR O lineup but Big Ramy and Hadi are looking great.

As for the pictures of the guy you posted, alot of musclemania competitors or classic physque are looking like that and even sharper

Their arms are fucking tiny compared to their torsos and legs, looks shit.

And their waists are 40+ inches onstage, dieted down at 4%, just awful :-X

No, even looking at shitty old 90s videos on YouTube and you can see the density Dorian had. Dillet and the 90s guys had small waists, etc. We shit on Dorian for his waist and Ronnie when he ballooned up not knowing what was to come.

You'd think so, considering they are going to compete for 5 years instead of 20 like the old school guys.

Sumo lifespan of peace.

If by next level you mean zero delt striations or arm separation both because of constant site injections then ABSOLUTELY!

The original He-Man doll from the early 80s will be the ultimate if/when it can be achieved.

They don’t make toys that muscular anymore. Was shopping for a gift for my nephew and saw that action figures are muscular fat now lol

Surprised they don’t just have GI Joe in a dress by now

Masculinity is not celebrated or encouraged for young boys anymore. It's considered "toxic". Mattel is actually re-releasing He-Man dolls. Here's what they look like now.

Watched a Youtube clip of all the Mr O competitors just last night. maybe it was the lighting but they all looked weeks out from being ready compared to the guys from the 90s. And a lot of them were doing vacuum poses now, but they still had these very blocky midsections, which just looks stupid.

Ramy is impressive but he's naturally big anyway. Curry had good shape but was soft. Choopan looked ok but for the obvious extra help. How Labrada came fourth I've no idea.

This era's competitors are bigger but I don't think they're better.

Granted Labrada is a little watery but he's approaching huge status, with a sick X frame.  My bigger complaint is the torn pec which if they didn't over inject it to fill it in would probably not be as distracting.  I have no problem with Labrada in 4th nor would I have any issue with swapping him and Nick.  That being said, I think Hunter will be Mr. Olympia before Nick will.

Nick was in much better condition than Lebrada who got a gift at 4th full of water and no abs meanwhile Nick was peeled I guess it helps when your Dad is a sponsor

Bodybuilding peaked in the 90s. You’ll never see a freak like Coleman or Leverone again.

Hadi had the best quality physique. He has flaws but was light years ahead of the bloated soft messes on that stage.

His arms and legs are the same size.

Hadi was the best, said it immediately as the show started. Several commentators said Hadi lost the O specifically because of the dite injected delts and it could be true. Someone here said Hany confronted Aceto at the O and told him he cost Hadi placings because Aceto had talked about the injections weeks prior. At the time Hadi threatened to sue Aceto lol.

Ronnie from 2000 Olympia. Although not at his best here, Ronnie would’ve annihilated the field in 2021

Hadi really deserved 1st or 2nd. He comes in looking phenomenal every time and gets screwed over. I was at the Olympia in 2019 when they gave it to Brandon, and Hadi was so far and away better than everyone else at that show it was kind of a joke.

Demay, Christian, Paris were all roughly 6'1" 225 onstage, no they are 5'10" 245 on stage, that weight all went to their legs, abdomen and a bit to their backs.

Those guys had 32-34 inch waists now their waists are 40+ inches :-X :-X :-X

this era was the best low gear, as close to natural as it's ever been. of course that's just my opinion , I could be wrong.
