Thanks Main .......Serge was sick and that is a great clip .......The guy was missing alot .......but the sum of his parts looked perfect in so many poses anyway .[ no one better in the semi relaxed 3/4 and a varity of most muscular shots....just beautiful to look at ] Cant believe he only ate a couple of times a day , but consumed 6 -9 pounds of meat a day and a half cup rice and a half cup beans to achieve that look ........amazing !!!

It is amazing and I dont think I really appreciated his look until recently. My how my viewpoint changes as I get older. Its like when my dad and I would fix up old 69' camaro's back when I was in high school. He'd want to do everything to look original, and I thought it was f'n ugly. Now I love the original look.

He's been posting on Milos' board and MM recently. Guy still looks phenominal for his age.

His chest was amazing. He and Arnold shared my favorite banter in Pumping Iron: "I look like I could take you." "Ha, keep looking."

Serge Nubret, one of the all-time greatest with Sergio Oliva.

Thanks for the heads-up I can't miss that.

Awhile back Serge came in my gym to train chest, and it happened we were doing the same exercices. The gym isn't a big one, which means you have to share the benches due to the lack of equipment...

Let me tell you guys... it's a VERY BAD IDEA to train with Mr Nubret when you usually take less than 1 min between sets... once he starts he never stops before at least the 50th rep... you just sit down and wait for him

And needless to say you also need to constantly load/unload the barbell as the weights he uses are quite light

If he wasn't "missing" the things todays guys have he wouldn't be as great as he is. He had the classic great bodybuilders physique. I still would prefer that look over todays mass monsters. I think size is over rated, when you have to sacrifice you're waist line its no longer worth it to me. If you can find a way to tred that fine line, with out crossing, well then that is the way to go.

I too am impressed with serge

The thing about bodybuilding it's all subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think this guy may have the best physique ever. Others may say he is small or lacking bodyparts.

One thing that I admire about him is that his has been able to carry this with him untill old age; a true testament to his dedication and knowledge of training and nutrition.

he looks incredible, I think his physique like Arnold is highly credited to there intense training style and high emphasis on arm's. I don't think a lot of todays pros train as hard, even if they do, they try to spread the effort to all areas. I think its hard to to every thing great, you can do every thing good though. I really am against training style that work the whole body 2x a week, or more then 3 groups in a day. I just think a lot of the classic guys strived so hard to get there arms huge and thats part of the reason for such similar body's from that whole era.

Conan21 · Dec 28, 2006

I prefer the look of these guys too.

I would not say that pros today don't train hard. But I do agree that they had different training styles and also had an objective of obtaining a certain look (different Priorities). One thing in particular, I think in this era, alot of guys had better chest developement.

I know I would not mind having this look. haha

as iabadman said.. over at ironage.us thay have 60 pages of a thread which serge tells all.. i prefer the mass monster but, can appreciate the classics.. nubret was one that could get pretty big and full but the waist stayed very small.. others can do the same.. many things cause the waist to get big and expand.. the rush for size is a big one.. if one could get "huge" in 5 years or 3 which would ya choice?.. most will choose the 3.. that is a problem.. but, if i knew i could get to the size i wanted in 5 and keep the waist i would.. the key is not to be in a rush.. it will happen.. an ya get to keep your waist too..
