Shelby your on an old school kick as of late.

I myself started bodybuilding in the early 90's, so i love that look of the guys from the 80's and 90's.

That pic you posted of Rory a few days back is inspiring.

I was thinking the same!

Lee Labrada one of the most pleasing physiques on the eye thats for sure.

 

[massnup]

and lots of people think 185 sounds small lol

 

[BigDaddy_554]

WOW

Lee looks great there. I am sure I am not alone when I say that I wish I looked like that. DAMN GENETICS......:banghead:

 

[IRON37]

Usually had a hell of a posing routine as well.

I believe his heaviest weight onstage was 205lbs. at his biggest.

I've always seen his weight listed as 185, but for 5'6 he does look a lot closer to 200 in that pic.

205

was later in his career, when I guess he was trying to get bigger? But I always liked his physique as is. 185-200lbs was always awesome! Rich, Lee, Shawn brought bodybuilding to most households IMO!

So if Lee's 185lbs at 5'6" in that picture, how much would someone who is 5'9" have to be if they were to retain the same proportions? 200lbs? 5lbs muscle per incremental inch?

yes indeed, more than just endless MM, quad shakes, and waving hands up. I always thought him and munzer were the best posers of that era.

Not trying to hijack

There is no definitive answer because the illusion of looking bigger has to do with such things as genetic and things like torso length, clavicle width, muscle bellies, shoulder to hip width, width of joints etc. You can have 2 guys exact same hght/wght/bf% but they can look dramatically different.

Benfatto and Pastel were along the same lines as Labrada......fantastic physiques.....wish we could go back in time to the early 90s.

Lee's one of my all time favorite BB's. He had an amazing physique! I got to meet him I'm 1992 at the first BB show I ever went to. He's a very nice guy.

 

[stumpfirefighter]

Lee was one of the best. That is 185 to 200 lbs that is well put together.
