You can see how much more well-defined Arnold's lower body was. And he really never had much in the way of legs, if you compare it with today.

remember though that quadsweep wasnt a look that anyone wanted in the 70's.

Here's one with Zane in the background. This angle reveals how much smaller Zane was than the other top five, including Nubret.

Zane wisely avoiding a most muscular comparison.

35 years later Sergio still owns the arms-overhead shots. Just awesome.

Agreed. Lee Priest comes close IMO.

Ok my picks:

Short class: Franco

Tall (in order): Arnold (by a hair), Sergio, Serge, Zane

Overall: Arnold, Sergio, Franco, Serge, Zane.

My picks differ from the actual results in that I put Franco 3rd overall, in front of Serge.
