Topic of the Week: Best Bodybuilder of All Time?

[Admin]

Out of the men in this picture, who do you think has the best shape and should be considered the best BB'er of all time.

 

[GetRekt]

Out of the picture, Zane for my personal ideals, Ronnie for most impressive "body building".

My own list would be Flex Wheeler and Bob Paris, though.

 

[mixedup]

I've always been a yates fan

 

[Matthew1237]

Columbo is a personal hero. Cutler sucks. Ronnie is the man. Yates is real as real. Heath is big but I'm a bit skeptic.

 

[Demongreat88]

I think bodybuilding changed when it went from Haney to Yates. The big, but not freaky mass monsters to the mass freaks. Under the old standard, Arnold and Mike Christian were my favorites. During the freak era- Coleman number one. Easy. I think Big Ramy will be the next in the evolution of the mass freaks. All away around, the two that were never Mr. Olympia but in my top five all time were Levrone and Flex Wheeler.

 

[TheIronAsylum]

Serge Nubret

 

[Jiigzz]

Decisions. Arnold will always take my top. I woukd pick mentzer as well but hes not there lol

 

[Horrux]

1. Kevin Levrone
2. Victor Martinez

 

[booneman77]

Gotta say I've always been a huge fan of Yates.

 

[Admin]

Zane appeals to me more and more the older I get. lol

 

[schizm]

Also prefer Zane...never cared for the overly freaky sized body builders of today...

 

[Inarius]

Big fan of Yates.

Just his character - sometimes

Oh ok. I can see that

 

[Drolhunter]

King Dorian.

 

[MultiVitamin]

Of these Arnie and Zane of course. Golden era bodybuilding will always remain the GOAT.. The sports been ruined if you ask me, and the king agrees

Some notable non-mentions: Serge Nubret, Flex Wheeler, Mentzer, Bob Paris, Padilla, Gaspari (I always liked Rich lol), Kevin Levrone

 

[ma70]

Gotta go with Arnold.

 

[BigLarry]

1. Arnold
2. Haney
3. Ronnie

 

[rugger48]

Probably be better to pick in their era. Can't compare Peyton manning to Johhny Unitas

 

[rascal14]

I was going to say me but since I'm not in the picture I would have to go with the same answer as Jiigzz

Decisions. Arnold will always take my top. I woukd pick mentzer as well but hes not there lol

 

[NoAddedHmones]

Zane!

 

[EMPIREMIND]

If only one, Arnold. Hes done more for the sport than anyone else.

Coleman is most impressive just because of his training. Dude won a boatload of olympias and, had a crazy build, but he trained heavy as all h3ll.

Kevin levrone has gotta be in the coversation as well.

 

[bhawks23]

Not on the list but Mentzer. I can't stand Phil Heath though, he's cocky and I don't believe that he should be considered one of the best.

 

[Admin]

The LUI goes off on Phil Heath. This guy is a riot.

1. Haney
2. Arnold
3. Yates

 

[tyga tyga]

Zane hands down

 

[Rocket3015]

Best Picture Lee Haney
Best Not Pictured Kevin Levrone

 

[Thefatbloke]

Sergio Oliva

 

[JPSwole]

Frank Zane, Bob Paris, Serge Nubret, Francis Benfatto, and Lee Priest even though he was massive he still had symmetry.

 

[gagandugan]

Who has the best shape?

Zane.

 

[medinacirilo]

Tough question, and different eras. Zane and Arnold have that unmistakable physique. Yates is always a favorite. Heath is "the Gift" for a reason! Of the above, I'd say Arnold. We even recognize his silhouette!! I'm a big fan of Mike Mentzer though

I'd love to see Heath in the golden era

 

[rmoses123]

Big fan of Arnold.

But also like the bodybuilder Mike Katz - cool guy!

 

[SKL87]

For me its Ronnie

 

[Jebrook]

Aaahnold! Hands down. No one has influenced more people to get off the couch than him. Not only that his physique was classic. As someone put earlier, even his silhouette is recognized.
