One of greatest, most visually pleasing physiques of the golden era of Body Building. Fantastic genetics and shape.

Serge also photographed so well and always looked in shape.

RIP.

1972: IFBB Mr. Olympia (3rd place)

1973: IFBB Mr. Olympia (2nd)

1974: IFBB Mr. Olympia (Heavy Weight, 3rd place)

1975: IFBB Mr. Olympia (Heavy Weight, 2nd) (Ben Weider, the president of IFBB, told Nubret that he could not compete because he was apparently "overweight", according to Nubret himself on the bodybuilding forums on bodyspace.com. This was 12 days before the IFBB Mr. Olympia event and for those 12 days, Nubret did not train and instead dieted and lost weight to be qualified for the IFBB event. He had lost 12 pounds in that period of time.) Ben Weider's account of this in the book Brothers in Iron gives the reason for Serge Nubret first being disqualified for the competition due to being in pornographic films. And in doing so had shamed the IFBB.[citation needed]

Yeah true.... if my arms look like that at 70 I'd never have a tape measure in my pocket.... it'd be on my arm permanently to remind everyone how awesome I was!!! :grin:

I met him when I was in my early 20s and he would have been well over 50, still looked incredible! RIP, a true bodybuilding legend!
