Your favourite bodybuilder from the 80s ??

[Terminator84]

I know the 80s decade is not talked about that much, because there were not so much " characteristics" in it, its not purely on aesthetics and artistic view like 60s and 70s, its not about mass and conditioning like 90s, and not about gigantism like 2000s. But I still think it has a major speciality, which is taking the lower body into a new level, most of the pros in the 80s had better legs than the previous generation (Tom Platz, Bertil Fox, Samir, Strydom) they all had amazing wheels.

So, who's your favourite pro from the 80s?

[trulyhuge1]

I voted Platz because he made training/having legs a mandatory in the sport. Has one of the best set of wheels to this day!
I really liked Bertil Fox's physique. His name doesn't come up as often as some but from head to toe he was jacked!

[RoroCwalker]

Haney.
But Bertil had a killer body too.

I LOVE the 80's bodybuilding, don't make me pick lol. But probably Danny Padilla, even though he was mainly 70's, he did compete in the early 80's.





Lee Haney is a close second, he had such a great physique

[Ajthemeso]

why isn't bob paris up there? Oo

[Natural_O]

Although he didn't compete much (or enough), I thought Phil Williams had a great physique.

Bertil was ahead of his time..huge



and this one was in the gym I used to train

It was Eddie Robinson who I wanted to look like. But it was this man that had me saying is such a thing even possible.
















Even many years later, still big as hell.

He was a freaky freak...such a shame he didn't compete...crazy potential

[ZBlacktt]

Yeah, his body was something of a freak show long before there ever was one in the sport. When you look at his early teen years. It's just mind blowing.




Everything was huge long before the days of the new sports technologies came along.

[sexnews]

Mohamed Makkawy, but on the list Haney

Wow! He was massive!

[RoroCwalker]

What the fk Richard?
Those muscle bellies are ridiculous I can't even....what?

When you looked like this as a young boy. You have the genetics.






Then when other Pro's see you and go wtf????

[RoroCwalker]

^
What the....considering they were way behind on knowledge back then, he's genetically more gifted than Ronnie.
He's simply amazing yet absurd.

[ZBlacktt]

Wow! He was massive!

Yep, was the first Pro I saw and said time to get serious. That was in the late 80's.

Again, when you look like this in your teens/early 20's. You will do well in this sport.











Look how big Ronnie was already. That's Eddie next to Nasser.

I'd say they both came from the same rare gene pool. Something so rare and freaky. Both could have shown up 300lbs monsters on stage if they wanted.

He had some great arms. I hadn't heard of this guy before. Thanks for sharing

When you see Lee next to normal guys. Then you can really see his size and width.

That life time bulk! He sure was huge but i don't think he would have done that great in competition, he was out of proportion. He looked great in those young stage photos though

[Tb0282]

and living large....

The three GOATS!

Haney had such an amazing physique, pretty evident in the pics you posted, no wonder he dominated.

Typical response, but he wasn't walking around with a bloated gut ever either. He was most always in great shape year around. He was easy the Ronnie Coleman of the 1980's.
