Greatest IFBB pro genetics?

VaughnTrue · 07-30-2009, 06:05 PM

Becoming an IFBB pro is a huge mix of hard work(obviously), the bodies response to gear, as well as natural genetics...

who do you think had the best natural genetics?

My top 3 are:

#1 Kai Greene
#2 Ronnie Coleman
#3 Paul Dillette

Now, I know...it would seem that RC should be ahead of Kai, but I honetly feel that kai is going to be able to out mass even ronnie before he is finished in this sport.

would love to hear everyones thoughts and opinions

Shaun0310 · 07-30-2009, 06:07 PM

I would definitely put Lee Priest up there. Especially above paul dillet

First come to mind.

Ronnie coleman
Lee Priest
Phil Heath
Flex wheeler
Kevin Levrone

#1 Paul Dillette
#2 Ronnie Coleman
#3 Kevin Levrone

Penile_Dementia · 07-30-2009, 06:07 PM

Dillett - prob #1 but never fully capitalised on them

Ronnie
Flex
Phil

Maybe Kai and Cormier

pyrolee · 07-30-2009, 06:07 PM

Best frame, muscle length, muscle insertion, and shape:

Sergio Oliva, Paul Dillet, Brandon Curry

I'd say Sergio is the clear #1 imo

MediocreBadGuy · 07-30-2009, 06:09 PM

All the names mentioned already are definitely worthy...Heath's gotta be up there too.

Oliva for sure, but I don't think those gifts are apparent in Curry's lower body, yet anyway, though his upper body is incredibly gifted

for a non pro my vote hands down goes to Lionel Beyeke

I agree that Curry's lower body is definitely lagging...but he has low calf insertions on a black man which is very rare. I think his lower body has the potential to become great but only time will tell.

If Dillet had the low lat development/insertions of Oliva I would have put him as #1.

supacrazymonkey · 07-30-2009, 06:24 PM

damn it sounds like Dillet could've been the most dominating mr. o ever if he just knew wtf he was doing and had some drive.

1. Ronnie Coleman
2. Kai greene
3. kevin levrone
4. paul dillette

Memorial93 · 07-30-2009, 06:32 PM

Levrone
Coleman
Wheeler
Greene
Heath
Ruhl (Freak Factor is on his side)

PurvisTheMatrix · 07-30-2009, 06:32 PM

Ronnie
Jay
Dex
Dennis Wolf

willldabeast · 07-30-2009, 06:35 PM

Definitely Wheeler and Dex. Both never got fat in offseason, didnt do a lot of cardio, and seemed to work out lazier than many others we see.

Also, Lee Priests genetic gift was visable very early

VaughnTrue · 07-30-2009, 06:38 PM

everyone says dillette definitely had the best, but imo, mental genetics play a role as well. if the guy was a doof who couldnt figure it out/didnt have the drive, he gets bumped down my list

agreed 100%

i hate this topic. who cares who has the "best genes"? its almost impossible to really determine that anyway. at the end of the day, it only matters who puts together the best physique, whether that comes from genetics or purely from hard work.

For gods sake it is spelled Dillet

Thanks I did. Mispelled image uploads aren't my concern. it probably would have saved you the callout over your ironically directed exasperation, had you taken your own advice.

That was a search for YOUR spelling, Paul Dillet, so duh images and youtube results would be spelled like that:

For all others, it was redirected to results for Dillett

wikipedia page: Dillett
Official facebook page: Dillett
Bodybuilders.com profile: Dillett
Bodybuildingfanatic.com profile: Dillett
criticalbench.com profile: Dillett
bodybuilding.com profile: Dillett
Twitter page: Dillett
The official page of the bodybuilding federation WBFF he set up: Dillett

etc...

Dunkelheit23 · 07-30-2009, 07:02 PM

Ronnie turned pro in 2 years and went on to win the Olympia 8 times.

end thread.

flangmasterj · 07-30-2009, 07:15 PM

Sorry, why Sergio?

Because of his shoulder to waist ratio?

He lacked detail and separation.

Lee Priest
Phil Heath

long, thick, and fully separated muscle bellies in every bodypart on a wide frame, with a large ribcage at over 6 feet tall.

can't think of any other bodybuilder who fits that description. not freeman, not wolf, etc.

Priest lacked detail and separation in his hammies, glutes, etc. Also has short limbs and chest.

Sergio never got conditioned, but he had unbelievable muscle bellies in every bodypart.

no prob. if only all IFBB posters were so gracious.

yesterday I was called all sorts of things literally for just saying "no" in response to somebody's claim.

gogoplata · 07-30-2009, 07:32 PM

all great picks by you guys. but what about arnold. the guy trained 2 months for his 1975 olympia physique and was known to take most of the year off from any roids or training and somehow managed to put together the best physique of his era in a mere few months

Meathead. · 07-30-2009, 07:37 PM

Flex Wheeler
Lee Priest
Ronnie Coleman
Arnold Schwarzenegger
