If you could have any look, whose would it be?

This guy. If you know him you know your bodybuilding!

Mr. Clairmonte would be sick as well.

Long Island's Jerry Scalesse. Great legs. He was a NABBA guy I think.

You got it. Very under appreciate physique.

I think he trained with John Defendis and Steve Michalik at some points. NABBA had some great bodybuilders back in the day.

NAABA had some damn good bodybuilders back then...DAMN GOOD!

Those forearms, dayum!

You beat me to it.

That is literally the first thing I noticed. Blessed.

Wonder what the rest of him looks like. I think he is just proportionally smaller all over. But those damn arms.

 

[alfresco]

That's a legendary shot. If I recall correctly, that was Tom's actual reaction

That is one of the great bodybuilding gym shots of all time. Stunning tri’s if you can take your eyes off Lee’s forearms. Just wow.

Lionel Byeke simply because he had carton like proportions similar to Flex Wheeler.

Gunter was the fuckin man! Who else filled out a tall physique like that? I'd always drawn the comparison to Arnold, too, except with legs. Apparently a tremendously nice guy, too. I thought he would have done much better in bodybuilding, but it seems he found his niche with acting

Only human being to “beat” Ronnie during his Olympia run. Plus it motivated Big Ron to produce his 2003 form which I consider the greatest bodybuilder has ever or will ever see.

They had some guys competing out of England in the early 90's who looked like they'd be able to do well in the IFBB. Guys like Rob Wall and Amoury Francis.

Mike O Hearn without any doubt

Newman was on of my favs from the 90's, like him since the first pic saw.

Absolut, maybe the most underrated BB of all time.

 

[Delt123]

Not too lean, not “too” buff. Balanced.

Lionel Byeke simply because he had carton like proportions similar to Flex Wheeler.

That's a great physique right there

 

[Biggerp73]

This guy got second in classic at the Arnold

He doesn't look like a bodybuilder in a shirt in the gym

But man he looks amazing on stage

Urs Kalecinski. Kid has a great physique

 

[Blacktail]

This would be perfect for me

Levrone carried my second favorite physique of all time.

 

[UsmcOldSchoolMuscle]

A prime Cedric McMillan... A prime Gunter Schlerkamp... A prime Victor Martinez (plus a couple inches of height)..

Guys like Flex Wheeler represent aesthetics, but his actual skeletal frame is smaller than you'd like, such that while he is insanely muscular, he isn't really a big guy, the kind that intimidates, makes women feel a certain kind of way lol..

Guys like Ronnie have that insane size, but they lack the kind of "sexy" to their physique that you'd want for walking around everyday...

What are some factors... ?


(1) number one factor is your overall frame.. height, clavicle width, etc... Gotta be a big dude..

(2) factor number 2 is aesthetics.. you want the flow and structure and conditioning and shape to look good, sexy, strong, statuesque

(3) factor number 3, enough mass in the right places to be at least somewhat freaky... Big chest, shoulders, arms, upper back, traps, and at least calves... If you can get away with any muscles not being developed.. if you can get away with weak points... It's lower back and thighs... Just make sure you are lean

Man Gunter is extremely underrated.
