Top 20 Most Aesthetic Bodybuilders of All Time!!! (Part One: #20-11)

[@beeleigh23]

I'm glad you mentioned Dillets posing. People bang on about him being an uncrowned Mr Olympia but his backdouble bicep was dreadful and he posed like a crack addict on a comedown.

[@NaCle7]

Everyone knows this tho...

[@exesemas]

Well, from a certain point of view, bodybuilding is much more about creating a certain type of body, than posing. So i think a list with great bodies should include him, because (as other bodybuilders have said), he could just stand there and beat them all without poses.

[@sanjaykakurla4256]

I think the back double Bicep was due to his posing bc his rear relaxed was amazing but when he hits that pose the lats just shrink

[@giganticitalianbodybuildin1584]

@@sanjaykakurla4256 I noticed that too. I saw a photo shoot and he looked even good.

[@donkbox7317]

@@giganticitalianbodybuildin1584 yeh it seems really strange

[@goldenera4ever]

IMO the particular pic of Sergio hitting HIS pose, the victory pose, is the greatest bodybuilding photo ever. NO ONE will ever pull off this pose like Sergio and the photo was taken after he tore his left tricep. Maybe its just the angle, but I think he looks better here than at the '72 Olympia.

[@Tomn8er]

I may agree with you on that one. It is LEGENDARY, no one else can pull it off like he did

[@ricardorivera6543]

Big Lenny should have been at least top 10

[@Tomn8er]

Hanzo Main ah but we haven't gotten there yet...

[@awakeningtovacuity8372]

After Sergio retired his posing actually became much better, as he was doing a lot of guest posing. I saw him guest pose at a local contest around the mid 80s and he did an excellent job of showcasing his physique. Had he been able to pose like that during his competitive years he may have won one or two more Mr Olympia titles.

[@beerthug]

I must say that I was quite pleased to see Tierry Pastel getting some love. I remember when he showed up, his abs were just unreal! I think it was around the same time, as Rennel Janvier and Francis Benfatto.

[@PsychoticSmith]

The aesthetic looks is the best look, imo. These are the greatest bodybuilders of all time to me.

[@nattybynature1262]

The back on Samir! What a sight. With the pics you chose of Robby Robinson, I feel he should be much higher on the list! Great video man and awesome channel as well!

[@Wikingking]

Also I'd be so happy if Cedric could improve his game with better conditioning and striations, feathers and _maybe_ just a tiny little bit of more mass. It would be awesome to see that someone aesthetic could threaten Phil and his gut brothers. Sadly, some photos of McMillan already show his gut being bigger...wrong direction, if you ask me.

[@hurluberlu2525]

The most aesthetic bodybuilders should be the best bodybuilders. I think that's Arnold's point !

[@mikebird5148]

But it's not a beauty contest, bodybuilding shows are judged off of mandatory poses, just because someones physique is "prettier" doesn't mean it's better...

[@krillinroshi6002]

@@mikebird5148 The whole program is about health and beauty; t best of man! No one looked better then Arnold 75. Tht pumping iron physique cannot and has not been beaten. Lee Haney came close but Arnold just symmetrically perfect. Not a flaw nor a part too big or small. T ratio was on point. No other bodybuilder achieved this feat. Came close but aesthetically second whn put next to Arnold.

[@mikebird5148]

​@@krillinroshi6002 It USED to be about health and beauty, and Arnold did have a great physique, I just find it hilarious to say a guy in the 70's has the best physique we have ever seen, it's insane, people like the idea of some sort of super human that would destroy all but fact is, Arnold is far from the best physique we have ever seen and far from the most genetically gifted bodybuilder we have ever seen, so many guys have came after him with FAR superior genetics, people just like to hold on to the past and believe nothing can be greater....

The Sydney Opera House, Sistine Chapel, Chopins piano concertos, Mozart, Beethoven...to name a few... Because those tht know anything about achieving something of greatness, sense of beauty tht sets a timeless... standard of achievement, on genre, artwork, composition, architecture, engineering etc ... bodybuilder...to say t least... Tht we all could aspire to in accomplishments, Try and surpass but mostly just to be on Par with?? Then your low IQ (God forbid you have a high one; tht would be dangerous to everyone around you; Thnk you...I'm allowed my say etc) May glimmer why t fascination wth Arnold. Because Arnold's body was so aesthetically better then anyone before his time and any one after...COULD NOT have a BETTER BODY but just as visually appealing or in golfing terms on par. Never Better?! Why? Because from now till t end of time, man simply could not build a BETTER looking Body. From any angle you look it's aesthetically, symmetrically perfect! I mean how much better can you get then PERFECT?! Right? PI'm not even a poof but I tell you, cannot stop looking at his 75 physique. Its On point! Do you get it Mr...sorry wht was your name again???

Robbie Robinson never gained more than 5 lbs during off-season. For him it was more about health!

[@JoHnSapla7LordSapla9]

The pattern that I see is that people who are most aesthetically pleasing have their back as the most dominant body part and their legs as their weakest.

[@yussefcheaitou]

that's no pattern, u train legs properly and they won't be no weak point, and if u have bad quad genetics it still doesn't have anything to do with the upper body

[@mort4810]

RIP Cedric

[@Pulsonar]

Back in the early 80s, when i started out in Bodybuilding I thought the whole point of bodybuilding was the aesthetic ideal. I never understood the mass monster ideal that came after Lee Haney and the massive dosage of steroids and other exotic shit that these guys took. I was disappointed and disillusioned, but glad to move on out of the bodybuilding world in the 90s as things changed.

[@dumbcat]

the mass monsters who started popping up in the 1990's ruined bodybuilding

[@Pulsonar]

@@dumbcat when Kevin Levrone stepped into the scene. It was a question of who had the optimum drugs regime that their muscles responded to. You see him as a natural he looks barely above a regular Joe. Then he does his juice regime and it’s like a magic switch. He was so good at that it was like seasonal work that he did 4 months at a time. Playing dice with his organs, health, and well being just to put his superman suit of muscles on for a few months. Then he goes and loses 40lbs of steroid muscle to do some other work as a musician etc… for the rest of the year. It’s bollocks isn’t it? Only genetic freaks like Lee Priest, Sergio Oliva, and a few others stood out truly blessed when they went natural. Dorian Yates scientific pharma methods also turned the whole thing on its head. Whilst I praised the heavy duty approach to training, the pharmaceutical side was something else altogether. Just ugly, and damn right dangerous no matter which way you look at it. You only have to look at the legions of pro and amateur bodybuilders who have since died before 50 yrs of age since the ultra conditioned mass monster era

[@dumbcat]

@@Pulsonar i think even some 1960's and 1970's era bodybuilders abused drugs. in Wendy Leigh's book "Arnold: An Unauthorized Biography" the book states, 'Arnold took steroids in quantities that terrified the other bodybuilders'. it seems like newer drugs came online in the 1990's along with possibly greater knowledge and maybe better doctor supervision. i gave up on bodybuilding about the time Rich Gaspari remarked after winning around 35K in prize money, "Well, that will just about pay for my drugs this year." i forget where i heard that, but i think is was actually printed in a bodybuilding magazine. i'm pretty sure i did not just hear it from someone at the gym.

[@vukdelic7000]

Melvin is underrated here...

[@awakeningtovacuity8372]

Sergio's posing actually improved after he retired.

[@rohanbrahme9523]

How do you find such quality photos? Is there a specific site? Because Google image search of old bodybuilders brings up very unrelevant results. Thanks for any replys.

[@travelreview5962]

No offense to the guy that is 5' 2" tall and 160lbs but to me, the impressive part about being aesthetic is pulling it off with a vast amount of muscle on your frame. I believe virtually anyone who is 160 lean will have a very aesthetic and semetrical appearance, therefore I am not nearly as impressed by it. Edit: much more impressed by the following guys Robby Robinson and Melvin Anthony as they are now carrying an impressive amount of 💪 💪 💪

[@Wikingking]

I expect Coleman 2006 is going to be No. 1 with Dallas McCarver, Dillet and Cutler 2011 closely behind :)

Sergio tore his left triceps around 1973 - so simply post pics from his prime instead of his later years. I suggest pics from his tour of Japan in 1973, prior to the tear.

Tough as it may be to research, the 1972 O featured THE GREATEST LINEUP EVER, including 14 Mr. O titles...and Serge Nubret (who had none)! The iconic photo of Zane, Arnold, Franco, Serge, and Sergio Oliva says it all. The greatest collection of bodybuilding talent ever. If you wanted to post a video on it I think it would be worth the work. Thx.
