do any current pros remind you of former pros?

[buzzbot]

The only one i can think of is phil heath and kevin levrone, they just look crazy similar to me, but i know that has been discussed to death so i'll just post the obligatory pics, and leave you to post any other resemblance between pros from the past and present

previously mentioned pics..

[greenmile66]

Evan Centopani and Mike Matarazzo kinda

[flangmasterj]

Phil has never reminded me of Kevin.

[buzzbot]

Phil has never reminded me of Kevin.

Srs? Dominant arms attached to crazy delts, huge outer triceps head, relatively narrow but quite thick chest, those dimple things on the side of the chest (Ino they're common but they've been most obvious to me in Phil and Kevin) even the way they approach bodybuilding as a lifestyle is similar, both look pretty poor in off season due to taking it easy then grow into contests unlike a lot of pros who try start bulking up as soon as contest season is over

[MrDeafMuscle]

Eh, I feel that Kevin is more full blown. I enjoy seeing his videos anytime and still go "wow, he is full blown."


To me, Phil is kind of boring.

Shawn Rhoden and Flex are twins. Kai Greene and Ronnie(a bit), Cedric Mcmilllan and Lee Haney, Kevin and Phil(obv), Shawn Ray and Dex, Lee Priest and Flex Lewis( a bit).

I agree Kai is the most similar to Ronnie nowadays, crazily wide, thick lats huge hamstrings, short high bicep peak comparatively small tris, although some of Kais weaknesses are Ronnies strong points,

I don't see many similarities between Cedric and Haney though, what do you see?

Sounds like you're only comparing them in the hands clasped most muscular. Kevin "relatively narrow"?

Come on guy.

They both have amazing delt and tricep development.

I didn't say he was narrow, I said his chest was relatively narrow in comparison to his arms, just like Phil, and yes that pose is the one with the most similarities, but they're similar in many of the other poses in the pic I posted

both have great backs and chest, midsection looks similar, both are tall and have similar structure, Cedric though has awesome arms as well. I would say Cedric is a Lee Haney-Arnold hybrid, however he is more similar to Lee.

[RoroCwalker]

On a serious note,

Thierry Pastel and Cedric. (Even though Cedric is almost a foot taller)

[B3AU]

i've never seen the similarity between kevin and phil.. especially not on a personality level

the thing about top pros is that they are all unique, none can really be compared with someone of the past

[miscing4life]

Thierry Pastel reminds me of a shorter Serge Nubret.

[Larfleeze]

Thierry Pastel reminds me of a shorter Serge Nubret.

Reminds me a bit of Haney from the front too.

[Ryanreece]

I definitely see the similarities between Phil and Kevin. how the heck can anyone not see it?

[endurancell]

in for more Ronnie - Kai comparisons

[littlemike23]

Roelly reminds me of Bertil Fox. Go look at their crab most musculars an you will see what i'm saying.

I can see the similarities, both look amazing from the front, not that great from the back.

edit: anyone see any similarities between Vic Richards and Roelly?

[kayvez]

Shawn Rhoden - Flex Wheeler
Phil Heath - Kevin Levrone
Cedric Mcmillan - Lee Haney

[Unbiasedfan]

Each physique is so different to me. Maybe because of all the nitpick needed for proper judging, i have a hard time seeing any pro physique resembling another one, except if i individualize bodyparts.

People sometimes say Gunter resembles Arnold.

[buzzbot]

in for more Ronnie - Kai comparisons

The pics won't load on my phone, how bad is Kai getting dominated?

And to that guy who said about personalities, I wasn't comparing Kevin and Phils personalities, I just pointed out that they approach the whole off season and contest season similarly

[Groggery]

It's like OP is just now figuring out all the topics that have been grinded and beaten so many times into the ground over the years.

Let me make it easy for you and give you a list for future threads:

Coleman - how much of an alien he was.
Kai - how he had several Olympias in the bag, but got robbed.
Levrone - how he won't ever make a comeback.
Naturals - are there really any?
Guts and aesthetics - will these horrible things ever go away?
Branch Warren - when will he simply stop?
Wheeler - the obligatory wank thread.
IFBB - corruption and bikini division.
Curry and Roelly - potential through the roof.
Arnold vs X/Y/Z - a track so beaten it's now a canyon.

I'm sure you'd have absolutely stunning and unheard of, insightful commentary on all of these.

Dude the OP is 16, give him a chance, I doubt he has been into bodybuilding since he was 8 years old which is the time frame all the topics you have listed needed. You were 16 once OLD TIMER.

Agreed, can't really picture two who look the same.

Coleman, agreed
Kai, 2012 is the only debatable one, and even then you have to knock out the champ, which he didn't do
Levrone, did anyone ever believe that
Naturals, in the ifbb? Probably not
If a slight gut is what it takes to get every other body part freakishly huge then I don't see the problem
Branch, he won't get the memo until he's in a wheelchair
Curry and roelly have been hyped up far too much
Don't care about stupid vs threads with bodybuilders from 30 years apart

But I don't see what any of that has to do with this thread, care to make an actual contribution?

[Groggery]

So i see the sarcasm wasn't laid out thick enough for you. The hint was that this topic has been done a million times, no resemblance.

REPPED, just ignore him brah, he has already negged me, he might neg you next.

Well I searched for a thread like this and didn't see any, that's why I asked, I must not have used the right key words, but itt a few people have posted bbers they thought were similar

Btw what did u mean about the bikini division?

[King-B]

Albert Beckles and Darrem Charles. Both with peaked biceps, relatively skinny forearms and calves, and a seemingly similar bone structure:
