Very nice - not super huge, but look at the way it flows together!

 

[Big A]

How's that for a beautiful body.

 

[Mini Monster]

Nice now that is alot of up and comers need to see and strive for .

The midsection of the guys from a couple decades ago was alot different (in a better way) too it seems like. Im not just talking about the decended stomachs alotta pros suffer from. I cant put my finger on it but when he was doing his poses then was kneeling to the ground, somethin about his stomach looked different, in a good way. I think the same thing when is shows robby robinison posing for a few secs in 'pumping iron'. Awesome ab wall.

I'm wondering, lots of bodybuilders use to do stomach vacuum exercise back then had anything to with it besides the allegedly high GH/IGF-1 use of today.

I remember him when I was a kid...he had that ad in the mags where he was holding a 45lb DB from the side.

BAD ASS...have you seen him now???

HOLY SHITBALLS is all I have to say

 

[massnup]

I believe he did a lot of Larry Scott techniques, I dunno if that has anything to do with his look or not but I know Larry had a lot of different ways to train the muscles.

Awesome physique....

I remember some of the first muscle mags my mom bought me had him inside. Yates was on the cover. I still remember thinking "dang this guy has no weak point, just perfect proportion". However he states he thinks his legs are lacking. I dont see that, JMHO. The last australlian grand prix he competed in he looked awesome. Ripped glutes, full muscles. Anyone know how he tore his pec???? It seems that is his only drawback(not that he can control that). Just awesome is all I can say.Also I think hes dang near 50yrs old to boot.

 

[lynx]

What a stellar physique! Then and now!

 

[pesty4077]

Classic phsyique!

 

[BEASTZ6]

I remember that this guy never did any kind of shoulder presses. His delts were built with dumbell raises to the sides, front and rear.
