This is pretty much as good as it gets for me - steve reeves . Perhaps a little more development in the legs , but you have to remember how long ago this was - 1940/50's and no drugs (?) and no supplements

Mike Mentzer for me:

RC for me.

Im a big Mentzer fan but he and his brother fooked up there health in later years .

Never really appreciated Mentzer physique till I saw that, thanks Si.

Max, he looks like a real man. in contest shape his arms were only 18 1/2", but such full muscle belllies, amazing

Franco is still for me the epitome of what I'd want to be if I were serious enough,.

Can't really pinpoint a single physique/person, but definitely not a bodybuilder-esque physique for me. Prefer more powerful & athletic looking physques, sprinter/weightlifter/gymnast.

That's a given!

Bob Paris for me. Not only is it the physique, but the way they show it thats important as its classic photos that people remember.

Frank Zane - more realistic for my ability as Bob's bellies were just astounding

A bigger more modern version (as in more advancementin drugs and nutrition) of Bob for me is Levrone. Looks as if he was crafted by a master sculpter in condition.

Modern era definately Levrone.

For posing it has to be Ed Corney.

Robby Robinson in the same era and a good interview with him: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_art ... son_speaks

Ill fcuking bum you any more of it!

Flex Wheeler is def one of my favourite physiques, so well balanced

wtf 1940's and 50's no drugs (go and have a word with yourself)
at the rsik of sounding like a fcukin nazi, a lot of modern medical advancements came out of hitler years, you tellin me that ped's from german pharma were not knocking about before commercialisation?

look at the disdain on the german faces watching a black athlete kick ass- as if their fcukin nutty professors were not ordered to breed winners

paris, labrada, zane, wheeler, that moroccan fucking dude i can never remember

but mentzer.......definitely one strong cat! substance over drug use for sure

I saw this cover a few months ago and thought that his physique is great; powerful, lean and athletic:


Of course you can't see his legs but I'm sure they'll be decent given his upper body mass.

Looks very powerful, although too little fat to play rugby well

IM not sure what Rabs thoughts will be on this but Bobby Khan the classic champ is bloody impressive

Bobby Khan has an incredible physique and i recon if he keeps at it has word champion level potential.
