If we´re talking chest you have to mention Arnold amongst the biggest / best ever

I think he was a very underrated bodybuilder in his time, he had the mass, hardness and round shapes that no one else had.

Definitely agreed

Serge Nubret

I had the pleasure of meeting him through a mutual friend in the early 90s. Hanged s few times with him. When he did chest flyes, he had the deepest stretch I ever seen. He really believed in full range of motion.

My training is built on his principles , i believe in full rom too

Also other thing i took from him is i always do barbell pullover with chest and straight arm pulldown with the back

I love serge

That picture of Serge on the right is one of my favourite bodybuilding photos ever, perfection.

Definitely one of the best chests ever. His chest is bigger than many of todays guys that weigh 250+.

Cool you got to that that. I just got to sit and watch . . . and drool. That was
in 1977, at Golds in Santa Monica where I trained and hung out for two weeks
prior to the AAU Mr. America. (No, I was not a competitor and could never be
thought to resemble one). I think I have said this before, probably the most
'beautiful' male physique I have seen. And he trained like all the articles written
about him said he did and like Pesty said.

IMO high volume is overkill for the non genetically gifted. Also, there are other variables. Like my current evolution of training is 3 sets per exercise wirh what i guess you could call moderate volume but I keep the same weight through out with same rep range only trying to hit failure on the final set. Also loading/deloading are other variables

Brian Buchanan comes to my mind as well, from that time period.
