The best Muscle of all time!!!

[Pumping Iron]

With the upcoming Mr. O only a few months away, i figured i'd dig up everybody's opinions on who had the best individual bodyparts of all time.
These are just off the top of my head, so if you have someone i missed, post it up! I want to see everyone's opinions, its almost Mr. O time!

 

[Arnold]

Chest and posing most definitely Arnold.

 

[derekisdman]

Agreed prince, I just watched pumping iron again earlier today, Arnolds chest is massive.

 

[Mudge]

I liked Arnold but Haney had a freaky chest.

 

[Pumping Iron]

Arnold's side chest and most muscular are without doubt the best ever, although orville burke was plain enormous!

 

[ZECH]

Lou!

 

[Pumping Iron]

Hahahahaha, Big Louie!
His chest was enormous, he just didnt have the definition.

Speaking of P.I.,does anyone know why he retired after he lost the Mr. O to Arnold in 1976? He was so young, 23, why did he quit for so long???

 

[ZECH]

He was 2nd in 1974 and 3rd in 1975!
He was born Nov 9 1951. He would have been right at 24 in 1975.

That is when he got involved in TV, The Incredible Hulk series, and decided that acting had a more promising future I guess.

 

[ZECH]

Plus the fact he thought he got robbed at the last olympia!!

 

[Mudge]

He did a masters Olympia around 93 or so which is about when the above shot was taken. He competed at 317 I believe, much larger than his old time 275, of course my memory could be shot(?)

Huh? You think Lou was better than Arnold?

 

[ZECH]

Maybe............

 

[gr81]

where is Paul Dillet?? That vascular chest has to count for something. I voted Arnold though.

 

[Rodrugg]

I don't know much of these people, but I would definitely say it is NOT Ronnie Coleman. I haven't seen him since since he was on TV but he was pretty small then. His brother Willis was bigger than he was. That show was awesome and they should make a movie of it. My favorite episode was when Arnold and Willis fired those bottle rockets at the neighbor's house cat.

 

[Mudge]

Ronnie has not been small for a good number of years, nothing about Ronnie is small (that is visible).

Paul Dillet was hailed as the next superman for a few years, obviously being accused of being lazy because he never achieved such status. Anyhow, most of his vascularity I think was just freakishness, and the snake like veins weren't exactly the most asthetically pretty when you think of vascularity.

I think Lou got better with Age, like your above pic DG is one of my all time favorites of his, he is a monster there.

 

[OceanDude]

Hey I don't see Charlas Atlas or Joe Weider on this list. What gives.

 

[Rodrugg]

Charles Atlas is awesome and people used to punch his face when he was at the beach with a girl and call him a bag of bones. Then he grew his muscles real big and fistfighted and beat the life out of those bullies til the cops showed up. That doesn't even compare with Ronnie Coleman who was a small black boy who lived with his brother in a white man's apartment. He might have grown his muscles some but I think he would still be very short. I will give my vote to Charles Atlas.

 

[heavyweight1987]

arnolds was good lou was one big mofo tho.

 

[oaktownboy]

lou could have been a fucking giant if he didn't stop and go into acting. damn shame....
