Bodybuilders from way back, able to hang with the current
« on: January 20, 2007, 06:30:54 AM »
Which bodybuilder(s) from way back, say 70's or early 80's and older, would you think would be able to hang with todays pros, if they were around today?

The ONLY thing it would depend on is if they were willing to up their dosages to todays pros levels.

Franco's legs were no worse than Arnold's. Also like most compact physique bbers, I think his lower body had predisposition to grow. He just didn't take it to Platz levels(not that many did).

Franco's legs were absolutely worse than Arnold's. To start, he was bow legged. That in itself is permanent disqualification from being considered equal. Next his seperation was lacking a great deal compared to Arnold and he didn't have the graceful sweeping lines Arnold had. Franco's hamstrings were never too defined. Arnold's hamstrings were also not exceptional but his legs overall looked 100% more pleasing than Franco's.

Sergio. Padilla. Haney. Jeff King.

Sergio had it all. A complete physique, in proportion, aesthetic and massive:



Even his legs would stand up today. (Despite the fact that he had great calves, which, judging by today's BB's would get him graded down.  ::) )



Danny Padilla:

In his 40's




Jeff King



A monster!


Haney

I absolutely agree! Arnold, Padilla, Haney, Jeff King... Later I would add Bob Paris, Matt Mendenhall, Rory L., 1993 Flex Wheeler.

I think the criteria started to change (for the worse) right around then.

Not nearly enough gyno, and he has hair, another taboo.
