Favorite Pro of All time

[ScAR]

If you had to choose one pro, who would be your favorite all time pro bodybuilder?

Many things to consider, physique, training style, personality, and accomplishments.

I was thinking bout making a thread similar to this recently. Although I love kai, Coleman, Yates there personality n work ethics are what stands out to me.

However my favorite bodybuilder as far as physic goes is Dexter Jackson. He has tiny little waist n muscles that just pop like no other. IMO the only Guy to win the O who doesn't look Idk like a freak, like Ronnie, Yates, n Cutler do. With there huge waist n hgh baby bellies.

Well Stated, My favorite happens to be Kevin Levrone. Like Dexter he had similar aesthetics, a small waist with an excellent taper, great separation and detail. Levrone wasn't a mass monster like Ronnie or Kai and that's also why I liked him. I respect all of the mass monster pro bodybuilders nowadays but my physique does'nt have much relation to them. I relate better to the Levrone and Dexter type of physique. I also had the pleasure of meeting him and he is one of the most down to earth bodybuilders and that is saying a lot because i've met a fair number of pros and most of them were really cool.

I like many other bodybuilders as well but if I had to choose one it would be Levrone.

Yea I been watching his new videos of him coming back per say with out the juice though. Seems like a cool Guy.

I didn't know he's trying to come back. I do know he has just started his own supplement company, I don't know if the products are any good though. Nowadays every pro is starting their own supplement company.

He's not trying to compete just get in good shape

Bob Paris. Most proportionate and aesthetically pleasing male physique ever in the BB world. Not a monster or a freak like so many are nowadays.
Gladys Portugues, as far as the ladies go. Her ass was an absolute work of art.

 

[ManBeast]

Mike Mentzer for the men.

Dana Linn Bailey for the ladies.

 

[ScAR]

Mike Mentzer was the man, he had one of the unique hard and grainy dry physiques that not too many pros have. In his prime it looked like he was carved of stone.

I also liked that he had his own distinct posing routine and distinct training style using his HIT super slow training.

...and also the most important part- that damn mustache

seriously frank zane and lee p

 

[VolcomX311]

Lee Priest, pre-facial tattoo and Kevin Levrone.

 

[MuscleGauge1]

Gotta go with Arnold...because his sym. is pretty much ideal. Great shape in his prime

 

[kBrown]

Kai Greene is pretty awesome !

 

[TomGreen]

tough question. its between Mentzer, Haney, Yates, and Zane. Arnold is the man but i cant say him because of the encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding....he just lied to everyone. Mentzer and Dorian told people the truth. i wear the Mentzer heavy Duty shirt all the time haha. my favorite physiques are classic bodybuilders from larry scotts time through frank zanes. but Iv learned the most from Dorian Yates and gonn have to go with him. Haney was a badass though

 

[schroedes]

Arnold, Zane,Ronnie

 

[marcom10]

Kevin Levrone - love this guy

 

[ScAR]

Kai Greene is pretty awesome !

I find Kai Greene extremely impressive. It is incredibly difficult to become a IFBB pro, it is almost impossible becoming a pro-bodybuilder without a stable financial structure. Kai Greene came from the street and now he is a top three Olympia contender. I give this man his props.

Kai has a great backstory for sure and he's one of the more entertaining posers.

Phil Heath is the champ now, and he's more of a throw back to the aesthetic physiques of yesteryear.

Small waist was the physique of the golden era no huge tumor like abs! And the vacuum pose was part of the routine. Guys now days can't even attempt the vacuum.

The vacuum pose has always been weird to me, I never fully understood what sucking in your stomach proved. I don't have a six pack, but I can suck my stomach in pretty deep where my rib cage protrude like crazy, but I can't say I worked for that, maybe I just don't get it.

 

[MuscleGauge1]

Arnold. Hands down the best

 

[TANKBEAST]

LARRY PACIFICO IS THE BEST POWER LIFTER EVER!!!!! 8 TIME WORLD CHAMPION!!! NIIIICE

I thought there would be a lot more mention of good old Flex but your the first one. Which is surprising because I think he is one of the best.

 

[TomGreen]

Been reading and watching alot on Lee Haney...he had it goin on, a great mixture of classic golden age symmetry and also new school mass. I think he represented a perfect compromise. i guess his 8 time mr olympia speaks to that haha

Yeah, I feel that he had an amazing physique.

Lee Haney is the man, and still looks like a boss on his religion channel show.

Totalee fit was on TBN for a while, i guess it was filmed in the late 90's.

Dorian 'The Shadow' Yates!

Dorian 'The Shadow' Yates!

Dorian Yates is the man, I don't think anyone could train with more intensity than Dorian other than Branch Warren.

 

[Rickers]

ScAR being a Dorian Yates fan have you seen my thread in here titled 'Shadow Warrior: The Dorian Yates Story'? It's about his new DVD, looks good!

 

[lamonster14]

Kevin levrone ,, 1999 british grand prix condition dude hits the sickest most muscular ever.

And for the ladies dana lynn bailey or jamie eason

 

[rooster1]

Flex Wheeler.

 

[Type O Hero]

Frank Zane, as far as the physique I would aspire towards. One of the most asthetic builds ever.

Arnold, as far as overall ideal "competition bodybuilding" physique... Because, in my opinion, he had the most muscle while maintaining that asthetic look. Other bodybuilders have achieved more muscularity, but to the point where it doesn't really look good. Arnold had size, shape and made it look good.

Nah bro, I haven't seen your thread but I am gonna make sure I find it. If you could post a link I'd appreciate it.

As for the DVD, I've been meaning to buy another bodybuilding DVD, I will have to look into the Shadow Warrior.

 

[Rickers]

Sorry ScAR it won't let me post the link but if you go onto YouTube and search 'shadow warrior: the Dorian Yates story' you'll see a younger version of him and watch that one. Hope this helps.
