OLD vs NEW

[trainlikeafreak]

question.

obviously each are very unique in their own ways however personally what do you prefer...

The golden age bodybuilders of Arnold and Franco with the greek good look, like a statute? or the bodybuilders of today such as Mr Cutler, phill heath, branch etc etc etc. Personally I have to go with Jay Cutler, he is my favourite bodybuilder of all time, hands down.

obviously the appearance of bodybuilders has changed dramtatically over time, it is hard to think what Mr. O will look like in 20 years time...

Definately a HUGE fan of the golden age. Arnold is my hero hands down. No one can even compare to him. And hey, the greatest pectoral development of all time, whats better than that

[maassive]

'golden age' - arnold and franco had fantastic proportion. Today's mr O's look more like greek monsters than gods.

...you mkae it sound like a bad thing

[maassive]

looking like a monster instead of a god? Yes, indeed, the english language lends itself to such an interpretation.

[MullacT]

Yes the big gut just makes everyone pale in comparison to Arny/Lou etc.

IMO

[traininsane]

def the days of arny! the likes of kai greene and ronnie coleman and so on are fuken impressive but the proportions of the golden era and aesthetics were awesome and i def aspire to them a whole lot more.

each to their own ...or whatever it is...

frank zane.

frank zane.

I prefer Markus Ruhl. face it, bodybuilding is more popular now than it was back then, too.

[samuelNZ]

Fan of Arnold, always have been, always will. His movies suck ass but his physique kicks it.

Oh and women actually like the way the golden age fellas looked IMHO. Most screw their faces up now days when they see pictures of Jay and the rest.

[thatwaslight]

markus ruhl is the greatest of all time.

[drizzt]

Golden era for me, more attainable, more aesthetically pleasing IMHO (and most ladies I've spoken to on the subject agree)

Solid, natural physiques

:shifty:

Freaks pull the crowds. Whilst I can admire the asthetics of the Golden Boys Arnie, Franco, Dillet, Serge etc, the sheer size & muscle mass of Jay, Ronnie, Branch, Marcus, Kai, in the modern era, is a whole new ball game & where this will go with chemical enhancement that exists & will exist, is mind boggling

couldn't agree more. you want to walk into a room and have everyone say "who the f*ck is that guy!", not have to take your shirt off before anybody notices you.

Have you seen branch Warrens wife, etc? bikini models, figure models, all love the bodybuilders of today. your kickin' around with the wrong women, sorry not women, girls

OLD Bodybuilders looks FAR better than the bobybuilders now days.

Natural Bodybuilders look FAR better than the pro bodybuilders (ronnie, phil) too IMO.

you think old bodybuilders are natural? and who are these natural bodybuilders you speak of that look better than the pros?

[milkisforbabies]

Old school is what I would be happy to look like. Arnie in Pumping Iron is the ideal...and an ideal that no amount of creatine, protein powder and heavy compound lifts are going to get me close to any time soonhttp://www.nzbodybuilding.co.nz/pos ... 3&t=12002#

[Shutupandsquat]

Yeah but Frank Zane's legs look fucking shit right next to Markus Ruhl.

[nate225]

Prefer the likes of Arnold, Franco, Sergio, Serge, Draper etc

That said I've always liked Cutler, and the previous era of Levrone, Wheeler, Francois etc.

Natural is never gonna be better than pros bro. Face it the size of this sport and the people competing are gonna keep growing until they pop :pfft:

[matt !]

nah i didnt mean old is natural

i meant old AND natural body builders look better, than the pros "now days".

i also know that the pro body builders are obviously going to win over the natural in Mr. Olympia but as far as my eyes see it, Natural looks better.

this guy http://www.simplyshredded.com/aaron-cur ... com-2.html

looks nice (no homo)

Out of the golden age and today’s top bodybuilders I’d have to go with the golden age… But the 90’s IMO best size to waist ratio era

I'd agree! Great pix.

this sums it up perfectly. Some (not all) people desperate to look like a freak rather than an olympic god with asthetically perfect body may actually be suffering from inferiority complex and need to be noticed. Kinda like goths, but the massive versions.

[trainlikeafreak]

what about Arnolds body the size of Ronnie Coleman??... haha
