Putnam Winning The 1982 Olympia

[DixieDiesel]

in this shot. Since this pic emerged I was really impressed! I thought to myself, how would he hold up compared to some of the greats of all time? Mind you, this in one shot. Obviously, Franco had an incredible back, so don't try to post other pics to critique Pete. I just think it's cool to see the comparison. I would imagine they are all similar heights. I wonder what Franco and Zane weighed at their peaks?

Zane was taller at least 5 9' -5 10' and about 195. Can you compare now to then with advancements in nutrition, drugs etc etc. Its like comparing Arnold with Coleman. Who would have been better etc etc. You really can't do it with all thats known now that was not known then.

You noticed how I noted the most muscular shot? Why do you wish to try and dilute this thread? I think your personality is better suited for Getbig or Bodybuilding.com.

Mods- Keep an eye out on this thread. This wasn't suppose to turn into a critique. It was just a nice assessment of that one shot. Since you mentioned Zane's back... I disagree. Zane didn't have a great back. I think Putnam takes it in this comparison. I don't want to see guys like BrooklynBB muck this thread up.

I just thought it was cool that Peter was beating former Olympian greats in one shot.

Maybe you don't like Pete's physique... or your jealousy? Could you post a pic of yourself hanging with some of the best? Respect this board and Peter as a member!

Peter blows him away in about every category. Zane has him on conditioning, abdominals, and chest size.

 

[Fa Seeshus]

You are forgetting Danny Padilla. I think he looked better than Franco and Zane.

So I guess I'm around 57 years old? Geez... I somehow don't remember this?

Unless I missed something I did not mention anything about backs. Did someone else post something that was deleted. I am not trying to dilute the thread in regrads to Pete he has a great physique, just that there has been many threads like this in the past and it ends being hard to compare competitors from the past to the present is all I was saying with all the factors in the sports now than in the past.

It appears there have been many threads lately people taking things to personally . If someone posted a pic up why wouldn't you aspect it be critiqued. Thats just the way it is. As longs as you polite about it and not bashing the person and disrespectful almost any pic posted is going to be critiqued.

First, I deleted a couple of posts from BrooklynBB because I didn't like the tone and I thought it might aggravate a situation.

Second, Pete didn't post the pic, he is a member here, and sometimes people aren't posting pics for a critique reason even if they did post them. Sometimes they are posting them just for fun. If they want their pics critiqued, they will ask for it or they will post them in the judges forum. These have been the rules from the inception of this board, yet people do not seem to read or remember them. Members have the right to post here without negative comment.

I figured that, but I dind't show that a the thread deleted like they usually do.

I understand that, but people here post pics of pros, bikini models, and others without their permission and we make judgement of those pics. Thats what i was saying what would be any different in this situation. Anyone can come across a pic of anyone and make judgement as long it is not totally disrepectful if you know that person may be a member or know someone persoanlly on the board. If not know pic of anything should be posted.

Members have the right to post here without negative comment.

Of course i said not being disrepectful etc.

Anyways I was just simply stating its hard to compare past from present bodybuilders, but that Pete does look good.

I just made an observation is why are more threads being posted on Pete one after another when you already know someone was going to probably take some stuff personaly and post something that would cause an argument. It appears the additional threads it may be intentional to lure those other persons in. I figure give it a few days and let the tension cool off. I have noticed this lately.

Who wants to see this on the board. It gets annoying. Yes I don't even have to open the thread, but you already know in your head what proably half the psot say and your like what with thes bros cluttering up the board with all this nonsense. I come here for a break out of my busy day and talk to some bros. Who wants to see all this nonsense. I have been off from a few weeks so maybe on on here to much because i usually don't let thos etype sof post bother me, but they do get annoying to others not envolved with them seeing them up there and people going back and forth.

 

[w8tlifterty]

All the bs aside, putnam owns both franco and zane on size and conditioning... Yeah, you can say, we know more now, have better supps, and so on and so on, but not to many of us here could post some comparisons like that and even come close to holding our own... Pete, great physique bro

 

[Golgo13]

Putnam has it all.

I think this is as big as people should get.

Theres two options when we delete the thread.
Soft delete (the one some of you can see)
and another that completley removes the post-thread.

Sometimes we delete and physically remove posts because just the sight of some posts deleted provokes negativity. We deal with a shit load of stuff from day to day so it is not the easiest thing either. If its a thread about someone of Pete's stature, which is a great and valuable member here along with his beautiful bride, we clean it up out of respect, and keep it clean. Someone posted something negative about Pete's height in a different thread, and let me tell you, he may be 5'6, but his personality and outlook makes him a 10' giant killer.

Ya, I seen that. I hope me posting zane was around 5 9' construeded as negative. I posted his height because he was only 195 and thats considered light these days for being that height.

No, that wasn't why I said it. It was only a testament to Pete's integrity.

[bigheinz]

I do agree to delete desrespectfull coments about members or other member of the bodybuilding comunity or any other comunity who deserves respect.
I am also support the delete of fights bc it damage the view of the people that get in our forum for the first time and find some stupid fight, and we dont want people think we are a buch of ass holes lke in other forums. When i invite people to get in PM i am proud that we are a respetfull comunity, so i and we dont want bad coments back.
