I will take an Arnold please

Back in the day, BBuilders were required to learn how to suck in their gut as part of their posing routine... not anymore. Those Monkey guts are out of control.

Right, I do stomach vaccums, for the very reason that I want a tiny waistline, and care more about aesthetics than pure size. The guts are definately out of control. I think gaining as much size as possible while keep your lines and aesthetics should be rewarded, but most of these guys today are not pleasing to the eye. Look at Flex Wheeler for example in 94. He had a perfect physique at something like 218, then compair it to when he was getting up over 250. When he was "smaller" he was so much better.

arnold yes
ronnie no

Those half-lives are all wrong.

You forgot the fact that they have to be divided by two in order to accomodate the carbon ring structure of the AAS.

Put me down for Arnold too. Look at his stomach vs. Ronnie's gut. Anyone who has ever struggled with their midsection has got to respect that difference.

Ditto

Take a look at Steve Reeves and his 29 inch waist.

It's all about symmetry. Arnold had it. Ronnie is just ugly.

Damnit, I guess you need 200 points for the next dot. Oh well, another 92 to go.... Thanks anyways though. : )

 

[little chris]

I'm not sure there is a single pro BB'er today that can do the vacuum pose

nope. Zane was the master of the vacuum.

I think arnold was great, but the most beautiful body was that of serge nubret. NO I'm not gay...LOL. I just wish I looked like him...well my body anyways.

serge was incredible symmetry wise, but arnold tied it all together. The best part, looking at that pic, is the chest, arms and lats are about the same (especially the 75 O). The 2 differences are quads and gut (as everyone sees). Ronnie thinks it's a "tip the scales" contest, where the thickest fuck wins. Arnold and his gang built up shoulders, chest, back and arms, kept legs trim and well-defined, and kept the waist unbelievably tight. They were sculpting, making that classic V. This pic was posted on the training board too, and so influenced me that I am starting to alter my routine to sculpt visually day-to-day. Arnold is king!

I keep coming back to this thread just for the pic. And now the link is down. This is one of those pictures we need to host somewhere safe so it is not lost.

Let all the newbies see what once was but was lost and is not likely to be found again any time soon.
