    I remember when Lou Ferrigno came back and I forget who he went up against, he was outmassed. He used to be caleld the Hulk, used to tower over Arnold in weight, all the time, more massive but at that last show he did his comeback at, he was small compared to the new guys.... I much much more prefer Lou at that show, even tho he was smaller, than any of the rest combined.... So waht if i can see striations, cross sriations, might as well just skin some of those guys alive and just show their muscles cuz really, they wouldnt look any different! This is probably why I now prefer the model contests over teh olympia contests because even tho all the old timers used roids, the symmetry, asthetics of Zane, Arnold, Columbu and others is preferred over mass of today. Where did the sport go wrong I dont know, (IMO). was teh only way to win a contest was to be bigger only? I dont know....

    I'll go back to Steve Reeeves, HErcules, Larry Scott, and many of the fitness models of today as my heros, then and now. symmetry, asthetics and when you wear clothes, you look good in and out of them.

    Dorian is the second best bodybuilder of all time. He revolutionized training and dedication for the post Arnold generation.

    So... there's no "standard"? ie. chest should be in x proportion to shoulders, etc etc. It's just a bunch of guys sitting there saying yeah, he looks good??

    I don't think he would be laughed off the stage, but today its all about size. And if you put Arnold in his prime next to Cutler or Coleman, the judges would give it to Jay or Ronnie because they are just so much bigger. Not saying its right, but I think thats how it would go

    I think that ronnie and jay are better than arnie because everything is a big and lean as possible. and in a show of showing off the max of human development then that is what the shows should be about huge and shredded, not aesthetically pleasing

    i think there is a standars set down by the IFBB along the lines but not entirely sure.

    I don't think arnold sucks or anything but I like Sergio better. Arnold's best parts were chest and biceps for sure. Sergio had better legs and back and a 28 inch waist. I do think it's debatable who was better though. But by todays standards Arnold is a mediocre body builder. They didn't have the same drugs and knowledge back then though so it's not fair to compare, but cmon, look at big Ron next to Arnold.
