I allowed 4 choices because it's so hard to pick one (for me anyway) and if your favourite isn't on the list I'm sorry I could only choose 15 options. Feel free to say why they are your favourite. Mine are Branch Warren, Shawn Ray, Phil 'The Gift' Heath and Evan Centopani.

Edit: Due to popular demand I've replaced Greene, Martinez, Haney, Cutler with Columbo, Zane, Nubret and Olivia. You can change your votes.

Flex Wheeler because he brought the Ectomorph type frame with Mesomorph Muscle mass and symetry, too bad he didnt win Olympia in his time, like many others.

Phil Heath because he's got good symetry like flex, but has standout arms which can go toe-to-toe with anyone for the best arms in the business.

Shawn Ray has always been an underdog favourite because of his height, but all round symetry and conditioning.

And Victor, unfortunately because of his injury he may not come out his best, but he has gained mass and symetry all round in the last few years, doesnt look blocky, my favourite to win Olympia.

Just my opinions tho....but if it was just solely one person...FLEX!

Interesting that Arnie leads the poll, (got my vote) but not mentioned by anyone so far.

Bit sad to see his latest pic in the other thread, guess age and good living has finally caught up to him, don't think he "will be back"! again.

Flex Wheeler because I saw a picture of him in competition condition back in the late 90's which started my infatuation with him and pro bodybuilding. In more recent times, its been Kevin Levrone 'cos he has a bangin body to match what seems to be a humble and down to earth personality :D

Female bodybuilders would be both Lenda Murray and Valerie Waugaman.

My favourite is Frank Zane. That guy new about symmetry and aesthetics! :nod:

I prefer the old-school (1970s) guys, so I voted for Arnie but I would have also voted for Serge Nubret and Franco Columbu.

As it is, I also gave Levrone props, mostly for his recent web presence (Levrone report). I don't go much on his competition physique, but the dude's got a good personality!

The era of Leverone, Coleman, Cormier, V. Taylor, Wheeler, El Sombaty, Ray etc was epic! Much better depth in the top Pro ranks IMHO (or am I just old & reminiscing? :grin: ).

Leverone in competition shape was unreal, an uncrowned Olympian!

Nubret, Robinson and a number of older guys stand out to me as well, none more so than "The Myth" Sergio Olivia, unreal!

Darn I replaced Sergio with another because I looked at some old photos of his and didn't rate his physique at all. For his time though I can imagine he must have been ridiculously big :shock:

1. Arnold, because it's a dead hot for him to give the wrong advices. :pfft:

2. Ronnie, because he started out as a light heavyweight and then dominated the heavyweight divison later on.

3. Dexter, because he has the total package.

4. Shawn Ray, because he represents us small guys \:D/

Yates, Heath & Levrone for me but for insane condition no one can still beat Andreas Munzer. Pity it killed him in the process.

Talk about INSANE conditioning :shock:

Female bodybuilders would be both Lenda Murray and Valerie Waugaman.

Sorry PNW, it is a bit of a biased poll :naughty: If I could have chosen more options I would have included some females there too :nod:

Flex Wheeler because I saw a picture of him in competition condition back in the late 90's which started my infatuation with him and pro bodybuilding. In more recent times, its been Kevin Levrone 'cos he has a bangin body to match what seems to be a humble and down to earth personality :D

If the question was, "who has the best physique of all time", I would have chosen Flex. The more videos I watched and things I read about him though the less I liked him, so I didn't put him in my top 4 favourites. I don't rate Levrones physique as high as I rate Flex's despite him having a better personality. In saying that though, the introduction of his new top supplement on 'TheLevroneReport' and the decline in the amount of effort he is putting in to the site have made him drop a couple notches in my book. Not that I blame him, he's doing more than any other Pro would do for the average Joe.

How do I vote 4 times for Ronnie Coleman!!

Meh. I went through that phase of worshiping Ronnie and watching every video of him there was on YouTube but I'm over it now. He's a character, with amazing genetics and a great work ethic but there's not much in that head of his... Same goes for Arnold.

I chose Warren because he is so intense, has a great work ethic and an intimidating physique to boot. He has a brain and opinions and is a genuinely humble guy which is rare amongst pro bbers.

Ray because he was eloquent, friendly and he had an amazing mid-section for drugged up bber. He has the essence of a leader about him and is very hard not to like. His bodybuilding achievements are irrelevant to me.

Heath simply because he is gifted lol. He has great arms and genetics in general really and he, like the others, is humble and well spoken.

Centopani because he has the IDEAL physique. Him winning the NY Pro just solidified my opinion of him. He is again very humble, funny and he thinks for himself. I really believe he is a future Mr Olympia :nod:
