Arnie also put a lot of emphasis on the HOW to show his body. He figured out exactly how to stand and how to pose each muscle in his body. I think maybe Yates would have been the best, all else equal, but I wouldn't want to be him as he injured himself quite often. Everyone left in their own time, Arnold then Haney and Yates followed by Coleman are my choices for best ever. Lee Priest gets an honorable mention just because he kicks ass. Many will disagree, but I care not.
