Hello all!

Just a small poll here,

who had the best genetics?

vote please!
 
Well spank me hard and call me Vicky! Are you writing a fucking book or something? What is with all the questions about pro bodybuilders? Are you trying to narrow it down to which one you will devote all your time to trying to get into their pants? Sorry - don't mean to be offensive here. I think I'll vote for Arnold.
 
IMO Kevin LEVRONE. Not being racially prejudiced or anything but his parents are a mix of Italian and Black. You couldn't ask for much more as far as genetics go.
 
FLEX WHEELER BY FAR. JUST LOOK HOW HE HAS GOT REAL SMALL JOINTS AND GIANT MUSCLE BELLIES. RONNIE COLEMAN MIGHT BE BIGGER AND BETTER OVERALL BUT FLEX HAS THE BETTER GENETICS AND THE BETTER LOOKING BODY.
 
FLEX WHEELER-

There is absolotely no doubt about it, anybody who says otherwise, obviously hasn't seen him in person.
 
Sorry to all you Arnie disciples but if this poll is purely about genetics then there is no absolutely no doubt -Flex Wheeler is the most aesthetically blessed BB there has ever been!
:biggrin:
 
Flex does have awesome genetics. Am I the only one who suspects him of using Synthol in his bis and tris??

Maybe I'm losing it!! :p
 
I can't believe you guys forgot, SERGIO!!! It's either a toss up between him and Flex. All depends on what you like. Can you belive he built a physique like that using small amounts of Deca and Dbol? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!-THE PROTOTYPE
 
I'm not shooting for the top of the charts but Aaron Maddron is f---ing thick...yes he is new but he will do good.....:D :D
 
Sergio Oliva. He blew arnold out of the water. Greatest figure of all time.
 
well all the guys mentioned are right, but here is my top 3....................................

1 arnold

2 ronnie coleman

3 victor richards
 
Ive had the displeasure of working out w/ Dexter Jackson and the only thing extra ordinary about him is his bad personality.And I'd also like to take the time to mention he's a notorious scammer who would rip off his own mother to further his own needs.He doesn't even deserve to have his name mentioned in the same company as the above mentioned.:mad:
 
Oh, and since I hate pussys who talk shit behind peaples back but not right to there faces,so anyone who has contact w/ him please mention this post and my user name,He'll know exactly who I am.And I will be seeing you and your narc,scammer buddy skip around!
 
i don't think there is one that has/had the greatest genetics

It's not because some one wins the Olympia, that that person has the greatest genetics.
Besides there are a lot of guys with great genetics, not one with the greatest.
Also the winner could be one with less genetics than the looser, because the looser does not had
the character to be a winner.
 
Yep, like some of you guys said .... Sergio Oliva is DA MAN !!!!
Just imagine what he would look like with todays drugs :p :p :p
 
In my opinion either victor richards or paul dilliet has the best genetics. They are absolutly huge with shape and at the same time they don't train extremly heavy but they eat like elephants. If that is not great genetics I don't know what is.
 
What is the make up of genetics?

What are you using as a qualifier? I*s it plain old mass? Is it wow he is huge for his size? I think this is a very hard thing to deside on. Lee preist in my opinion is a genetic freak. 5ft 6in 243lbs 24 in arms no grow gut.(I'm not saying he doesn't use gh. He just uses smarter then some.):D

BTW what about columbo( I think I butchered that) He was as good as arnold if not better in a few shows

Just my .02's

cannons.
 
KEN COLE WAS THE BEST B.B. OF ALL TIME ,,,,HE WAS OUT OF LAS VEAS SOME 18 YEARS AGO ,,HAD IT ALL WEIDER OFFERED HIM THE WORLD ,,HE TOLD HIM TO STICK IT UP HIS FAGGOT ASS??? TRUE STORY ??? THIS GUY WAS A FREAK ......IN 1976 IN MUSCLE MAG IT WAS HIM ,ARNOLD AND BIG LOU AS THE THREE BEST IN THE WORLD..IT WAS ASHAMED HE NEVER MADE IT ....
 
Ken Cole or someone else...

i think genetics are overrated here.
I have a friend at the gym who never trains legs, never.
He comes in never undress or take a shower since he lives about 50 yards away from the gym and takes his shower at home.
One day he took me in the men's room and dropped his pants. He had HUGE thighs without fat, some of us have to train for this and will never have those thighs.

Another guy only comes in for cardio. Only once a week some weight training (machines). When he stands in front of me on the stairmaster i can see is calves, real big calves, bigger then mine and he never trains them.

Now that's genetics. Not a top BB who competes at the Olympia (which is great of course) and after placing 10th all of a sudden wins.
 
jakethemus

i agree with you.
Also Lee Haney did not have great genetics either.
He trained at Gold's in the seventies when Arnold was king, but he only started winning y e a r s later. You can hardly say "great genetics". Willpower, determination, responding to the newer drugs would be better to say.
 
well, it's hard to tell a pros genetic scale with today's drugs...hell they all look the same to me.

But in my opinion, Mentzer had very good genetics. If he hadn't restricted to HD-style training and had used what the pros are using today...I'm sure he'd be a formidable pro.

Ruhl is one hell of a freaky bastard though.
 
Some people say Dorian didn't have good genetics. All I can say to that is based on very old pics I've seen of him in which he probably hadn't touched steroids, I could see him being able to get to where he has through steroids and dedication. I wouldn't have guessed the same thing about Coleman though from the old pics I've seen of him. But they both have looked amazing at their peaks though.
 
I have met and spoken to a guy who was present in the gym when a teenage Arnold first walked into a gym and was closely involved with Arnolds early years of bodybuilding. He has some very interesting stories to tell. He said that on that first visit to a gymnasium Arnold appeared to have the WORST genetics for bodybuilding that you have ever seen. Narrow bottle shoulders, skinny legs , no calves, NOTHING. Interesting how we stand here now and say that Arnold had the best genetics. Possibly 'genetics is not the most accurate term for this discussion. Personally speaking some of the most genetically gifted people I've ever seen have been sitting under 40 pounds of fat in a public bar (and there they choose to remain). You will never know until you try.
 
When talking about genetics you have to factor in all area's like size, shape, structure, full muscle bellies, symmetry. And we all know Arnold did NOT have a good structure, as didn't Haney or Yates. Ronnie is fairly akward aswell.
Hands down it goes to Flex Wheeler. He has the best of all these worlds put together.
 
Brian Buchanan

Does anyone remember this guy. Never has ther been another human with such taper and full muscle bellies, not even Flex.
 
one guy asked ..why no Lee Priest? ...Well even though i think he is fantastic (the best arms on the planet!) the question was best genetic...and well ..Lee is a DWATF his legs are too short and his head too big! Flex has "Better" genetic...but i feel that Sergio is the one to go with

No way! Brian had a tiny waist and great taper but lets not get carried away. NOBODY has as full muscle bellies as Wheeler.

Who is that guy?

Also how such "horrible genetics" explanation explains Schwartzneggers fantastic gains in 4 years?? Arnie got like 50+ pounds in 4 years! Those are som pretty good gains for "someone with the worst genetics." ! Alsol do you realize that arnold started to train at1 14 (or so)? I don't think that ANY1 at 14 would look very good (too youing to tell, and not enlough time to see genes express)
 
why is no one mentioning Lou Farigno? That guy was a monster, and still is. I saw him 2 years ago, he is still huge and he doesn't look much different, he has shurely stood the test of time.
 
Has anyone forgotten PAul DeMayo before he was incarcerated. He last competed in '95 a time before insulin use and excessive GH use and the man's mass was absolutely mind boggling. Not to mention he already probably the best legs in the sport and huge arms and a thick torso as well.. I can't wait to see what he looks like next year when he returns to the stage.

And the new guy on the block is Tom Prince. The man is absolutely huge, thick and more dense than any other pro I've ever seen. Not to menrtion he's the widest guy around and has a relatively small waist with several freaky bodyparts and no weaknesses to speak of.

As far as Flex is concerned. Yeah, he has huge muscle bellies and small joints, but he is never really dense, most likely due to his bitch style training and he has narrow shoulders. On top of that the excessive synthol abuse has blurred the definition in his arms and shoulders. Plus the guy is as smooth as a pancake and has no detail to speak of from the lower back down.

With all the fuckin steroids he was taking he should look good at age 14, but what the original post was trying to say is that Arnold really didn't have very sound genetics, even if you look at him today his legs were not that huge, his waist was wide and he defintion never reached what contestants today have, but they also have newer steroids and other supplements, so all in all this question can never be answered just opinions.

Don't forget superb muscle tie-ins.
Lets not compare has beens who have never been to Flex. Flex's record speaks for itself.
 
Mentzer, imo. He looked awesome.

I think Dennis James.

BUT if I had a choice of having anyones physic in the WORLD it would be without a doubt BILL KAZMIER. He is so Thick and Massive it is shocking to me that he has never be asked to guess pose at a bodybuilding show.
 
has anyone taken a good look at the new rookie tommi thorvildsen? he looks damn good, fucking awesome symetry and his quads are shredded, as far as genetics im not sure about howmuch he has to train or how easy it comes to him, but he certainly looks damn good
 
I know of an NPC guy who is unbelieveable. His name is Ricky Parks. I used to work with him at a gym. In contest shape his arms are over 20" with a 19" waist. He's pretty wide for a smaller guy. I think he competes nationally at around 143. As far as pros go, Serge Nubret.
 
A 19 INCH WAIST!! I hope that was a typo!
It seems everyone is excited about this new guy Tommy Thorv-whatever..I saw him at the Toronto Pro Show a few months ago..he looked good but not outstanding. His quads are a little fucked actually not to mention that big hole in his pec where he tore it years before. He's shredded and all but personally i think he has and ugly build
 
FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX................ = SMALL WAIST AND NICE MUSCLE BELLIES!!! VERY WELL PROPORTIONED

G-Man
 
Oliva was the original bigman. Baddest cat there was and he did it by himself with inferior shit. Just think how big he'd be if he had the stuff out today.
 
Flex Wheeler without doubt. He is Priiiitaaaaaay!

Although I think his genetics were taken from his brain and given to his muscles.
 
I can't answer that........seems the criteria changes yearly. It's like arguing about boxers. My criteria is different than others. I would say that if Tom Platz had a smaller waist he would have been the greatest of all time.......but that's my opinion.
 
Arnold no doubt best genetics- defintion of small waste, huge muscle belly monster




Flex dosen't train hard enough- he's a lazy mofo
 
I think Victor Richards Does. The guy was a solid 220 lbs before he ever touched a weight. As for flex. He said he started with i sunken chest. That is not very good genetics if ya ask me.

Wow thats amazing, have you ever looked at Arnold, even though he might have been in pretty good shape he never had a small waste.

I'm dead serious bro. This guy is about 5'2", and he is fucking awesome. He should get his pro card this year. He's only done two national level shows, in which he got second in his weight class. I wouldn't expect him to be a big name in the pros because he's already like 36 or 37, but he is still unbelievable. He claims to be natural, but one day when I had a few boxes of clen behind the counter and he was about 10 weeks out from a show, he asked me how much I wanted for them. He's a really good guy though, even if he fibs.
 
Sergio Oliva
Franco Columbu
Arnold

in that order. Flex looks great but he has admitted to synthol use and any of the modern guys are so distorted from GH, synthol, and mega doses of juice that their genetics are just impossible to judge. Arnold, obviously, is a PBB God and if you read his stuff, you will see that he would place Sergio and Franco ahead of himself genetically. Frank Zane was an ectomorph who is a living testament to hard work overcoming genetics.
 
Definitely Sergio and Flex wheeler (without the gut bloat that is)


Arnold? He has slopey narrow shoulders, wide hips, narrow thighs relatively speaking. Good chest and arms, average back, crappy shoulders.

I have a pic that has Arnold standing relaxed next to Menzter and Frank Zane. Arnold is all chest and arms, his legs look skinny in proportion. Menzter and Zane looked much better overall as a symmetrical package.
 
I still think its Arnold. Imagine him in todays world, with the drugs they are using. How fucking big would his biceps and chest be?

CoolColJ, good call on Sergio, that guy had freaky genetics too. Both him and Arnold would blow away most pro's today.

Flex does have great genetics, but from what I keep hearing, he doesn't have the dedication to maximize his potential.
