great pics! Freddy Ortiz has a killer physique. I thought Bill Pearl always looked good. Bob Paris was also really underated IMO (maybe it was just the whole being a gay BB'er in that time thing...I don't know).

Jumping!



All over it!


I got it!

I like how everything stupid Foreman posts becomes what he "intended" to post after he's called on it. When your mom caught you masturbating in her underwear as a child, did you say, "Oh, I meant for you to catch me. You took the bait, Mom. Now I can, uh, enjoy! "

Eugen Sandow




The most famous physique champion 100 years ago, indeed perhaps the first
modern bodybuilder was Eugen Sandow. Born Friederich Wilhelm Mueller on
April 2, 1867. He began his career as a sideshow "strongman". Early in life,
and with the help of showman Florenz Ziegfeld, Sandow decided it wasn't
enough to simply demonstrate his strength, but to actually display his muscular
physique as though it were a work of art. He soon made his "Muscle Displays"
the main feature of a Vaudeville stage show and at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Sandow evenually would build a series of gyms across Europe, America, and
other points of the world. He developed a successful mail order business.
He wrote several popular books on bodybuilding and health. He was one of
the first to advocate free-school lunches for children, pre-natal care for
women, and donated generously to charity and to the London Olympics. Friend
of Thomas Edison, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the King of England, Sandow
was a legend in his own time. He died in 1925. The Mr. Olympia contest uses
a statue of Sandow as it's trophy. Sandow is buried in an unmarked grave
at Putney Vale Cemetery in England by request of his wife. David L. Chapman
is Sandow's biographer. (bio by R. Christian Anderson, Ph.D.)

Samir Bannout
Mr. Olympia 1983


Samir Bannout - Mr. Olympia - 1983
Born: Nov 7, 1955, Beirut, Lebanon
Nickname: The Lion of Lebanon.

Three months before Christmas 1983, Samir Bannout flexed his “decorated” lumbar region in Munich, West Germany, for the IFBB Mr. Olympia judges. Since then, the high definition found in a muscular lower back has been called a “Christmas tree”. Known as the “Lion of Lebanon” because of his birthplace (Beirut), Samir roared into America in 1974 and settled first in Detroit. In that city, he was crowned 1978 Mr. Michigan. In 1979, he won the Best in the World event and the light-heavyweight division of the IFBB World Amateur Champhips. The latter win bequeathed him an IFBB pro card, and he made his debut (also in 1979) at the Canada Pro Cup, by which time he had moved to Venice, California. Bannout’s IFBB pro career spanned 53 contests; his 11 attempts at the IFBB Mr. Olympia are a record among those who have won the title – as he did in 1983. His last win was the 1990 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Invitational, and the final sighting of Samir in contest mode was at the 1996 IFBB Masters Olympia where he finished in sixth place. His pro career had endured for 17 years. The Lion always was and still is renowned as one of bodybuilding’s more entertaining characters. His ability to mix quotes with poses never left the industry’s writers disappointed. In 1997 Samir married Randa, a young lady from Lebanon. Today, Samir lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children and pursues several business interests, including the marketing of a supplement company.

1996 Masters Olympia - 6th
1994 Grand Prix Spain - 12th
1994 Grand Prix Germany - 13th
1994 Grand Prix England - 15th
1993 San Jose Pro - 10th
1993 Ironman Pro - 13th
1989 Arnold Classic - 4th
1988 Mr. Olympia - 8th
1983 Mr. Olympia - 1st
1981 Mr. Olympia - 9th

I'd never heard of Bertil Fox before this thread. For a really massive guy, his physique is great. He doesn't just look big, he looks like he can throw around some weight.

Some others not already mentioned that I appreciate:

Flex Wheeler - This guy had amazing symmetry:






Serge Nubret - Another guy with a physique that portrays power and strength:

Wheeler and Nubret together - Wheeler looks particularly impressive:




Sergio Olivia - One of the first truly massive guys:

Bodybuilder and actor Reg Lewis was born in Niles, California, on January 23, 1936. He began bodybuilding at a young age, winning his first title at age 17. Reg Lewis jump-started his film career with the assistance of Mae West. In 1954, Miss West enlisted a gym-full of bodybuilders (including Lewis, Mickey Hargitay, Gordon Mitchell, and Dan Vadis) and took them and her act on a tour of nightclubs to various cities across the nation. West's male revue created a sensation; according to Gordon Mitchell, the show and the men were a big hit with the all-female audiences. Lewis often acted as an escort for Miss West, taking her to film premieres, nightclub openings, and other high-profile events throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. And Lewis appears in West's last film, Sextette (1978).

What a great thread - mods, why isn't it a sticky??

There's a whole bunch of guys here who did nothing for me - either too blocky or weak legs or something else, butall had something special (and it's different for each) that inspired me to lift and keep lifting; I guess they all had balance, symmetry and size in different mixes. I can imagine "ordinary" people thinking they were freaks but still being able to see the beauty of the developed human body; I'm not sure today's top guys would get the same reaction as some are like cartoons they are so extreme.

Inspirational stuff, though - a great thread.

Franco Columbu

Born in Sardinia, Columbu first engaged in the sport of boxing. He met Arnold Schwarzenegger in Munich in 1965 and was labelled as Schwarzenegger’s sidekick. In 1969, he followed Arnie to California and they became bodybuilding’s main duo, but all friendship ceased whenever they were vying for the same title, although Columbu never beat Schwarzenegger. Columbu won the 1970 IFBB Mr. Europe and IFBB Mr. Universe titles, the 1971 IFBB Mr. World, and later took the lightweight class at the 1974 and 1975 IFBB Mr. Olympia before winning the overall in 1976. In 1977, Columbu broke his left leg while grappling with a refrigerator during the World’s Strongest Man contest.

However, this Sardinian refused to be canned – with phenomenal fortitude, he began a rehab program using his skills as a chiropractor and, after Schwarzenegger’s 1980 IFBB Mr. Olympia comeback victory in Sydney, Columbu made his own comeback by taking the 1981 IFBB Mr. Olympia title. It would be his final competition.

Born 1953
Los Angeles, California, USA
Lisa Lyon competed only once in her brief bodybuilding career, but what she lacked in competitive longevity, she more than made up for in helping the women’s side of the sport gain initial media attention.
Lyon studied art at the University of California at Los Angeles, and became accomplished in kendo, the Japanese art of fencing. It was her need of added upper-body strength for kendo that brought her to weight training and, eventually, bodybuilding.
After winning the first IFBB Women’s World Pro Bodybuilding Championships in Los Angeles on June 16, 1979, Lyon immediately became a one-woman media-relations activist on behalf of the sport. She appeared in all the bodybuilding publications of the time and was featured in many magazines outside the world of fitness and muscle.
She made the rounds on the television talk shows and wrote a book on weight training for women titled Lisa Lyon’s Body Magic, which was published in 1981. Although Lyon briefly served as unofficial chairperson for women’s bodybuilding in its infancy, her fondest desire was to explore bodybuilding as an artistic medium.
Elevating bodybuilding to the level of fine art, Lyon was photographed by the likes of Helmut Newton and Robert Mapplethorpe, and was the first female bodybuilder to appear in Playboy (October 1980).

Roy still owns a gym not far from me, The Estuary.

It is as old school as he is!

Sorry about the photo quality, all these pics are from my mobile/cellular phone

Lads still train there, and they sort of manage it themselves.

Roy is nearly 70, and he still comes in to train, amazing man!
