Current bodybuilders would have to be Dexter Jackson, Shawn Rhoden (Needs to come in freaky conditioned), Evan Centopani, Cory Matthews, Will Bonac (Has so much potential), Cedric McMillan, Frank McGrath, and Flex Lewis. Almost a perfect lineup. I'd love to see all of them hard, dry and full going head to head!!! Killer shit right there.

I can't appreciate Branxh Warrne much anymore. I use to think he looked awesome but now I don't quite think so. Not a fan of his arms.

I couldn't agree with you more. Modern bodybuilding has turned into quite the freak shit show. Bodybuilding should be focused on physique not mass. It's fucking disgusting seeing these guys walk on stage with these huge guts.
Frank Zane had one of the best physiques ever. I hope it returns to those kind of standards. Until then I could care less about these so called "mass monsters".

You are absolutely spot on. I love the aesthetic look combined with a respectful, but not over the top amount of muscle mass. I like that balance, and I think that's what bodybuilding is all about. I think the new division of classic physique will be HUGE for the sport, and I fully expect it to take over the spotlight completely in the coming years. I can't wait to compete in that class myself
People won't probably pay much attention to the freak show as much anymore. I think the open still has its place, but it's become a very bad representation of the sport completely.

I sure hope that's how it plays out. I know I'll certainly pay more attention to it.

For me Dorian yates. His book blood and guts really motivated me when I read it back around 1996 or 97. I think that is the first book I ever read in one sitting.
Arnold of course
Lou Ferrigno. I actually first saw him as the Hulk and Hercules movies, but really liked the physique.
Shawn Ray ( great symmetrical physique)
Mike Matarazzo. Seemed like a great all around guy
Mike Mentzer. hell he created heavy duty.

I'm not sure she is an IFBB Pro or just like Vic Richards but Nataliya Trukhina is an absolute beast.
As far as overall look:
1. Phil Heath
2. Roelly Winklaar
3. Hidetada Yamagishi
4. Justin Compton
5. Jason Huh

I saw a book in the store when I was like 12, the guy was doing a front double bicep, I bought that book with my paper route money and started working out. I would have to say he is my favorite as that is when I started working out. I really wish I could remember who it was, I don't think he was a Mr Olympia or anything like that although he may have been for all I know, I believe he may have been Italian, Greek or something along those lines. 30 yrs ago??

That's it!! you da man
Evan centopani, Dorian yates, Larry scott, bill pearl, steve reeves.
1. Kevin Levrone - Loved his look in the 90's. Very impressed with his comeback at his age.
2. Evan Centopani -I love his look and his mindset. Very health conscientious.
3. Jay Cutler - One of my favorite heavyweight physiques.
4. Roelly Winklaar - His conditioning and gut were bad in previous years, but he made massive improvements in 2016 and really tightened up his midsection.
5. Sadik Hadzovik - Modern day rendition of some of the greats from the 70's. His off-season look always looks puffy and watery to me, but he comes into shows looking amazing and knows how to condition. I love his outlook as well.
6. Dallas Mccarver - Huge and freaky, especially for his young age. He hasn't learned how to dial in his conditioning yet.. but if/when he does, I believe he will be a show stopper.

I think I just hurt my brain... now that one dude is too big Big Ramy, but dudes like Phil Heath aren't that massive in person bro. I'm bigger than Dexter Jackson!!! I know that everyone has their tastes, but you have to be able to appreciate those that are huge, have symmetry and get competition ready. At age 45 I've always been a fan of the guys like Gary Strydom (met him in his prime), Surge Nubret, Sergio Olivia, Nimrod King, Tom Platz and my all time favorite Shawn Ray. Now I did like Lee Lebrada and Bob Paris as well, but all these guys projected balanced mass. Now yes, there is such a thing as too big IF they fail to keep a tapered waistline, but come on bro you're breaking my heart here. Next thing you know Physique will be the new thing and at risk of sounding like a dick headed dinosaur although I can appreciate their endeavors, anyone can attain that if they have good genes and don't push themselves too hard. Too hard as in gaining size. I don't go to the gym to incline bench 265 and monitor my gains, I want to push it, push it heavy and have stellar dimensions that require $100 custom tailored dress shirts. Admittedly the size I am (and I'm not that big to me) has some disadvantages in comfort, sleep, clothes selection and pain meds, but shit man for the most part I love going places and having people stare like 'what the fuck is that guy eating?' I think moderation is ones self saying 'that's too hard to achieve'. That current physique champ said it himself in a documentary that he wanted to be a body builder, but wasn't willing to wait another ten years to be competitive. Meh... my soul is crying.
