Greatest Bodybuilder Ever

[animal56]

Vote for it! Discuss amongst yourselves. Don't get mad if I missed 1 or 2 of your faves, just post em!

I voted for Arnold because I think has done the most for the sport. I would list Ronnie Coleman in the top 5 just for the sheer size of him!

I put Jay Cutler over Ronnie Coleman.

Watching Arnold in 'Pumping Iron' was one of the most inspirational videos I've seen, so there's my go.

"Louie, you're timing is all off...I think in about two more weeks you would have been ready!"

(I think that is the quote when they were eating breakfast)

I like Frank Zane. just awesome proportions. as far as todays bodybuildes I like shawn ray.

 

[irontime]

The quote that did it for me in that movie was when Arnie said,
"Milk is for babies, I drink beer."
I've had a hero ever since

 

[Chainsaw]

Arnold rules. I just can't believe I still haven't seen "Pumping Iron" yet. . .sheesh.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I voted "other"because I wanted to vote for Arnie. I didn't notice the clever "Uncle Arnold" name. oops.

Arnold

 

[Arnold]

I think that Arnold will always be most people's favorite for several reasons:

1.) He was a "pioneer" of the sport.
2.) Overall charisma & charm.
3.) He went on to become a famous actor.

that's my opinion.

Yeah I think you are right but I am sure I remember my parents talking about another actor who was also a body builder but was around a lot earlier than Arnie...Dero we need your input!!

 

[senopole]

Arnold is the man, i can't wait to see this "Pumping Iron" video you guys are talking about.

 

[ALBOB]

No, I'm not old enough to have seen Steve Reeves compete but he's always been and probably always will be my favorite. That was one gorgeous man. Second, I like Big Lou because I think he epitomizes the determination to succeed, no matter what. Third is Sergio Oliva, the first of the freaks. He's still awesome, even by today's standards. Finally it's Arnold, just because he's Arnold.

 

[Timmy Foil]

Arnold's the man. No questions asked.

 

[ZECH]

Hmm?

Arnold has to be the MAN! But I voted for Frank Zane. I am old enough to remember him competing and he wasn't anywhere near the biggest but man could he pose! He could show what he had and made you think he had more than he did. Today I like Jay Cutler and Lee Priest. Ronnie is just UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[THE_GAME]

I say Arnold.

 

[seyone]

the reason I wouldn't say Arnold would be because of his legs, or lack of legs.

 

[nastybull]

would be hell of a posedown all those guys but you left out haney zane is my favorite

 

[Lightman009]

It's all about ARNOLD!

 

[Arnold]

Oh yeah, he did leave out Lee Haney.

 

[Hawkens]

I think to date Arnold has given back the most to the Sport that made hiim what he is today.

 

[PRINTMASTER]

ARNOLD

 

[Rusty]

What ever happened to Lee Haney????

 

[snipes287]

ARNOLD! His weightlifting encyclapidea is exellent.

 

[Twin Peak]

Dorian. Hands down.

Sorry, Arnold I love ya, but no comparison.

 

[Mule]

I like Frank Zane... he is more likely a idle you could eventually catch up to size wise.
