Whats branches stage weight?

[Nails]

looks like Serge next to a Prolapsed asshole

[thebrink]

Not really surge pecs look much larger than branches

[SquidVicious]

But what about all of the advances in protein technology?

[anabolicguru]

Actually this picture makes Branch look better, remember he is like 5'4

[SF1900]

Upper bodies stayed relatively the same with the exception of a prime Ronnie. In terms of upper body, many guys from back in the day can stand toe-to-toe with the guys of today.

The real difference is in the legs. Pros legs today are a lot bigger than pros from back in the day.

If calves are part of the legs, that's not accurate.

[milone79]

how any dipshit with 2 working eyes can honestly say Branch or any other phaggot of modern era looks better than Serge boggles my mind.....

[falco]

LMAO! The title is killing me!

I disagree about the upper bodies staying the same.  Prior to the early to mid 90's when GH and Insulin use became more common, bodybuilders had pecs that stood out further than their stomachs.  This has since reversed, and now it's common for bellies to stick out further than the pecs, to one degree or another.

And is a perfect example why more is not better.
They appear like obese fatso's in off season, Serge has the best 200lb body on a 6 foot man ever.

[SF1900]

For the most part, it is. Calf development today trumps calf development from back in the day.

[SF1900]

I disagree about the upper bodies staying the same.  Prior to the early to mid 90's when GH and Insulin use became more common, bodybuilders had chests that stood out further than their stomachs.  This has since reversed, and now it's common for bellies to stick out further than the stomachs, to one degree or another.

Well, I meant in terms of sheer size. I am not saying quality. In terms of sheer size, upper bodies today tend to, on average, be bigger with todays pros. Especially back, shoulders and arms. Chest seems to have stayed relatively the same.

Obviously, in terms of quality, guys today are way far behind when compared to guys from the golden era.

I'd say this is true, but from the chest up. The waist is way bigger. It's almost like the guys of the golden era had on football pads. Now they just look silly.

[Megalodon]

For the most part, it is. Calf development today trumps calf development from back in the day.

Synthol, implants, and esiclene don't count genetic-wise and Ronnie Coleman, for example, injected a fake substance into his calves. As a result, they were misshapen when he competed and look even more misshapen today.

There are more bodybuilders today but it's a weaker gene pool as only humans that are willing to take today's unhealthy litany of drugs are competing. The best bodybuilders of the 70s, Schwarzenegger and Oliva, had great real calf development, as did Ken Walller, Danny Padilla, Boyer Coe, Chris Dickerson, Dennis Tinerino and others.

Thighs and calves have a symbiotic relationship aesthetics-wise. Ramy does not have good calves if you consider his legs as a whole. They are much too small for his thighs. Besides, some of what many people mistake for today's better quad development is overwhelmingly better adductor development, the ridiculous overdeveloped chafing inner-thigh muscles, see above Branch Warren photo.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Serge is a once in a generation type physique.  If that was the standard today and not the freak show I bet you ESPN would be holding the Olympia

almost

arms and pecs are about the same size now as they were then, and as you said their legs are much bigger, but so are their delts and back

arms/pecs=same size

legs/delts/back=quite a bit bigger

[Nails]

[HTexan]

branch gets his asshole smashed?

[Nails]

[Necrosis]

these new dudes are lacking flexibility, look at his side triceps, serge looks relaxed, branch is struggling to flex lol

[The Abdominal Snoman]

[SquidVicious]

LOL at modern calf development being better. You must mean perennial top five calf monsters like Dennis Wolf, Dexter Jackson, and Ronnie Coleman. Heck, even Phil Heath has nothing on the guys from the 70s. Don't make me post pics and embarrass your heroes.
