to be aesthetic like Serge Nubret or to be a monster like ronn and the big guys?
to be aesthetic like Serge Nubret or to be a monster like ronn and the big guys? I know people have various opinions and goals when it comes to bb. Personally I admire the physique of Serge Nubret, and the likes of larry scott, frank zane, and arnold because these guys have are well balanced when it comes to bodypart development. I believe in setting goals in order to be able to achieve our desired phyisique the way we dreamed it would be, and I would like opinions whether You want to be massive like the big guys, or refined like a diamond??? Don't get me wrong, the big guys now are well defined, its just that I would prefer to look like those guys back then...

Definitely aesthetic, regardless of what anyone says, I still think most professional bodybuilders today look ridiculous.

I am not disagreeing, that is why I prefer physiques like Lee Labrada and even Shawn Ray, but today's bodybuilding seems to be more about ultimate freaky size, and that also seems to be what the judges are rewarding.

And I agree that most women dont find Ron - or guys like him - very attractive. When he was creeping around here in Dallas I saw him a handfull of times and most women just stared and shook their heads, but not with admiration.

Yeah, I think on a little guy like me, a physique like LLCoolJ's is more natural looking and it fits my frame better . Lets face it, Im not a heavyweight, and too much weight slows me down. Im an inch taller than Rey Mysterio of WWE, but muscles like that would make me look like a roid freak too. Im not gonna deny it, but being a man, yeah, I would love to be huge. But at some point you have to ask if its practical, and for me, its not practical when you want optimum performance on the mats.

I am with most of you here - I prefer aesthetics and fluidity over abnormally large mass. I think that folks like Ronnie and others that have those huge bulging legs that make it seem they would rub their inner legs raw just walking down the street are too uncomfortable looking. Zane & Labrada et-al are closer to the standard I would like to see recapture the attention of the judges. Perhaps its time to start two different areas of bb competition - 1) Mass Competition and 2) Strength and Form Competition.
I'd bet that on a standardized strength-to-weight ratio test the likes of Labrada and Zane would clean house over many of the bigger guys. -OD

WAS if not the greatest, unequivocally on the list of top 3 best bodybuilders of all time..... but it has to be said that had he gone that extra step he would have won atleast 2 or 3 olympias, but where he lacked discipline and dedication he made up in genetics. |

I just meant he never will be because of his health problems, I think it's safe to say his pro bodybuilding career is over.

Shiat am I the ONLY one that thinks ronnies physique looks much better!! Cmon, he is complete, there are no weaknesses on the body, while Arnold is not the same way. He has a great chest, Bis, and delts no doubt. But Ronnie does to, plus his back and legs are far superior. Give the big man some love, I'd rather have Ronnie freakish mass any day of the week!! ha ha peace

the one thing that is much more pleasing to the eye of the 70's bodybuilders is their waistlines!
you cannot tell so much in that pic, but Ronnie has a HUGE gut, Arnold did not, it was tiny, especially in his side shots. BOARD SPONSORS:

Arnold's legs were puny but otherwise, if that picture was not photoshop enhanced then Arnold looks a million times better.
I never apprecaited Zane's body, not much into Paris or Labrada either. Lee Priest yes, Flex Wheeler ~1994 yes. Paul Demayo was not 100% complete but he was a favorite for a long time, Kevin Levrone would be another favorite.
