One of the very best was Dorian Yates. Never gets mentioned in this context because he didn't pose in a sexualized manner, but he was amazing. He didn't slap his thighs, caress his glutes in the side chest, roll his abs while simulating a fucking motion, he just hit each pose with precision. Didn't beg for applause with the hand to ear gesture. He never stumbled because he lost balance, didn't take forever to hit his mandatories in the comparisons. Some competitors haven't even hit the shot before the judges already call the next one lol.
