What BB'er do you admire the most?

[minister]

I'm old school bro, Arnold will always be the man in my opinion, love Lee Haney and his faith also. God bless you, Happy new year. Minister.

1.) Branch Warren- Blue Collar work ethic and kills it everytime in the gym.

2.) Evan Centopani- Great genetics and has a outlook on bodybuilding that is
great for the sport.

3.) Dusty Hanshaw - Kills it in the gym and seems like a very driven and
dedicated person, which drives me to be my best.

4.) Mark Dugdale - Proves you can have a full time job, family/friends, faith, great physique, and not give your life to the sport.

Mark Dugdale - For his Physique, for being a great family man, a good christian and living proof that you don't have to let bodybuilding comsume everything to be successful

ADMIRE.. is a strong word. Not sure that I "ADMIRE" any bodybuilders. Are there some that have mind blowing physiques? Clearly. Are there some who have an incredible track record of victory? Yes... But "ADMIRE"? Let's face it.. outside of Arnold- what bodybuilder has really done much outside of bodybuilding for one to admire them?

Most are pretty fucked up people whom I wouldn't even let me kids around. They are probably some of the worst role models I could imagine.. so "ADMIRE"? Nah.. don't think so.

I am sure there are some exceptions.. would love to hear about them.

LOL ok, should have been more clear....admire for the hard work and dedication to the sport, you dont have to like thier personalities lol. Hell I'm military and I admire almost none of my leadership! Almost.....

For me it's the....

For me it's the Sardinian Strongman by far. Franco was the man. Seems pretty squared away as a person too fwiw.

 

[communistkiller]

Frank.

I think Zane is the body I want to emulate. I feel it's achievable with just a long time of dedication and proper strategic planning in the future. I just need the groundwork to be laid out. I don't want to say Zane is who I want to be body-wise, but just a rough estimate or someone's body I admire.

I think McGrath looks like a beast though.This shot and his forearm shot are just freaky.

Bump Frank Zane

 

[brojm]

[Papa Van Smack]

Levrone...............end of story

 

[oncewasageek214]

The late Paul Demayo Quadzilla, flex wheeler, Melvin Anthony

 

[wgtnmuscle]

for me it would be
steve reeves...reg park...bill pearl
phil hernon....my 2 good friends sammy ioannidis from australia and big kiwi

 

[ericraven2003]

Don't admire them, but I think the Frank Zane had a great look, and more healthy way to pattern ones self.

 

[jetset]

Gaspari, Labrada, and Vince Taylor for me. Lucky enough to meet all 3, very nice guys.

 

[thatbloke]

SHAWN RAY, perfect level fo symetry in my opinion

JOEL STUBBS: only becoz i dream of having a back like his, shits off the hook

flex wheeler: theres a few photos ive seen that just look like something out of a comic book

and of course arnold for obvious reasons

 

[biglizard225]

Dorian Yates for his spartan type aproach to bodybuilding. Steve Kuclo is another guy I admire. The guy is a Firefighter/Paramedic. Tell me thats not tough....

 

[mgnz]

Gonna have to go with,

1. Arnold

2. Big Ron

3. Frank McGrath

4. Branch Warren

 

[GeNeTiKFiGhTR]

I have to think about Lou Ferrigno too. He overcame the personal obstacles. I saw him at the Arnold Classic last year, and he is still BIG!
