The best bodybuilder ever???

Arnold would had been a complete monster with today's drugs. Zane didn't have the frame to carry a whole lot of muscle. If your arguing big man and small man I would say Flex or Ronnie big and Shawn Ray 100% small.
 
Here's a change of pace - Mike OHearn
I've always looked at him as having one of the greatest aesthetic physiques out there.
Truely the epitome of good genetics.

Who in the he'll is mike o'hearn??? Don't tell me he's one of these men's physique guys.
 
Agreed...Flex had nicely filled out after Yates era..I always would see Flex at 225's and after stepping away for a few years Flex filled out to 250's... Now that guy could give Yates and a run for its money...Dry,Grainy,Mass Yates against Flex at one of his best days at 250's nicely filled muscle bellies.

Coleman,Shawn ray,kevin,Lee needed more work or a lack of.Just had more weaknesses then the winners of the 0..I don't see how Coleman beats Flex..but then to take the title of the O is to be a spokesman for the sport of bodybuilding.
 
Zane all the way. Arnold number two. And then a whole pack of late 60's 70's guys to fill out the rest. Once loads of insulin and HGH were used physiques became terrible looking. I don't look at any modern bodybuilder and think "wow I want to look like that" its a freak show obsesses with pure mass and not the proportions and symmetry.

That's why I will just stick to AAS for my BB endeavors.

I agree that arnold was the most important bodybuilder ever. But I'm talking about the best physique ever if you stood them next to each other. Obviously Arnold in his day was great, the best, but if he stood next to Flex it's not a no brainer. My favorite bodybuilder of all time is Lee Labrada but he is obviously not the best ever. Who do you think, one on one, in the best condition they were ever in was number one?

"Best" physique is a subjective thing. The way it's judged has changed so gradually that the freaks you see today are actually considered to have "good" physiques. If flex had walked on stage in Arnold's day, he'd have gotten last place for looking like a messy, gross lump. And for making half the audience puke and the other half run away. It's bad enough that size is such a heavily weighted factor, but vascularity? Come on! Since when does having your veins popping out ever equal a good physique? Modern bodybuilders also look too thick at the waist. It doesn't look at all natural or even functional. Especially when they have to waddle like ducks to get from place to place. And all the fake tan and baby oil is going toooooo far.

I was just sick in my mouth a little bit thinking about modern pro bodybuilders

If Flex walked on stage in Arnolds day they probably would have locked him up somewhere to study medically, lol. I don't agree with you, flex didn't have a big waist at all. He looked like a comic book superhero more than anyone. Super wide shoulders, tiny waist, super full muscle bellies. Yes, I think he looked better a little smaller but he carried all that size pretty damn well.Bodybuilders evolved like every other sport. A football star of 50 years ago would probably get killed in todays nfl. Personally I think it has more to do with performance enhancers in every sport. Crist, even the top tennis players use them as there is ample evidence that Nadal is juiced to the gills. It's just much more noticeable on bodybuilders obviously. But, I do not think any other sport touches the dosages and amount of drugs that bb use.

I remember Reading about him back in the old M&F when I was a kid, I think he used to train with the barbarian brothers at the time. Completely dwarfed both of them in both size and power which wasn't an easy feat
 
I honestly couldn't say who was the best ever because there are so many different things I look at. The most overrated...Ronnie Coleman. I just don't Fucking get it. It's like they just wanted the freakiest looking, and not the best overall physique-the most artistically, physically, aesthetically, psychologically superior physique is something here never was.
 
Besides the name everybody is mentioning ,
Shawn Rhoden these days looks great,
The great MIKE MENTZER in old days
 
I think Ronnie Coleman was the most muscularly developed body builder of all time. I think the best all around body builder of all time would probably have to be Phil heath. Me personally I would rather have a physique like Arnold's or one of the guys from the earlier era just because the health effects aren't as bad using smaller dosages.
