Hi All

Have a look on bodybuilding.com. On the site on the supersite screen is an Olympia update which has links to training clips from Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler. Have a look it will blow your mind and make you want to retire.

Ive got enough bodybuilding video clips and enough documentaries, all are serious hard core workers in the gym, its hard for me to understand how much motivation they have to do it all the time day in and day out with pure weight. Ronnie is sick, he is pure heavy, Jay is wicked too, he just come 2nd in 2004 olympia, Ronnie come first obviously. The best video ive seen, the most motivational other than pumping iron is gotta be Dorian Yates, you should see the way he trains, it is badddddddddddddd.

Which Dorian Yates video is that then? To be honest he has always been my favourite bodybuilder, think it's because he is British.

I have Ronnie Coleman: The Unbelievable - I couldn't be more motivated to bust it in the gym after seeing that. He's 5 weeks out from Olympia 2001 in that video and repping 200lb dumbbells for 12 reps on bench. What a monster

I agree with steve. I prefer the 70's bodybuilders too, they were massive but nowadays they are cartoon size. That said none has come close to arnies chest development.
I do have a great deal of respect for people like ronnie, jay and dexter etc. as it takes alot of focus and motivation. This is due to advances in supplements, steroids and training knowledge.

With todays advances how big do you think arnie and the lads would have got and faired against todays olyimpians :?:

Also, having talked to alot of women and shown them pics of arnie, lou and franco they find their bodies good looking . However when I show them pics of ronnie and the guys they are well turned off.

200lb dumbells for 12... thats fuking mental :shock:

But you have to admit, these bodybuilders today are much bigger and pure lean, pound for pound muscle clean, they look much bigger and they are the true bodybuilders. Back in the day, when I watched pumping iron, I hated every bodybuilders shoulders, they were like nothing compared to todays bodybuilders. Also their legs lacked hardcore. Arnold has some wicked chest, if you saw when he did dumbell flies for his chest, a ball would pop out, that type of chest I have never seen after that. Arnolds back was allright and his arms. Those bodybuilders were light weight back then, but still it would nice to see them develop their bodies in these times alongside all the new generation of bodybuilders, they'll probably be much bigger. Nowadays bodybuilders tend to aim for a lot of size and then look at attaining the proportion and symmetery/definitiion. Back then, they found an ideal size and sculpted it straight away. There were not many bodybuilders who weighed more than 250 pounds. Today, you can see people like markus ruhl or ronnie coleman come in on stage at 280 pounds plus, in their off seasons they go to about 320 I think. In terms of woman and a respectable physique, the 70's bodybuilders had it I think, don't really need to go over the top like the bodybuilders of today unless your turning professional.

I have always liked Franco Columbo. I thought he looked better than Arnold with him being shorter and more compact. He was originally a powerlifter and I bet he could match most of todays bodybuilders for deads.

I recently read that Frank Zane won the olympia at around 190lbs, it would be impossible to compare him and Ronnie Coleman as their builds are light years different. Who would win?
