[id=tmppasteie1219083796608]You know what takes more effort than developing a legendary physique with steroids?

Developing a legendary physique without steroids.

people need to quit it with steroids, even if you do take steroids it still takes massive amount of hardcore work to get where these people are at ( or were at). I don't think natural takes more hardwork than steroid users in terms of achieving a nice physique I think it's equal work... just both aren't on the same level.

Agreed with the comments about steroids. They help, and that's it, it takes a great deal of work and dedication for those body builders to get where they are. For me, though, I would have to say Arnold all the way. Although controversial, his book, the Arnold Encyclopedia, has many great workouts imo.

it's sad that everyone picked arnold or ronnie coleman just because those are the only ones they know

lee haney wins, hands down. look him up on google.  the pictures of the guys yall have posted have little legs......take a look at lee haney

I agree with this wholeheartedly, so many people associate bodybuilding with who, Ronnie Coleman and Arnold. Go look at Lee Haney, that guy is rediculous. The "pros" nowadays are killing the sport, IMO. Bodybuilding in my opinion is more about the symetrical yet powerful look. It is not and should not be about monster mass. Coleman and Cutler and the other current "pros" just look like freaks, but when you look at guys like Haney, he actually looks pretty decent and like people wouldnt see him as a freak. But thats just my opinion

No food tastes as good as looking good Feels.

i 100% agree with you, i think proportions and symetrics are much more important that more mass. but i still think arnold was and always will be the best bodybuilder of all time, he looked like a greek god IMO

I would have loved to take part in this thread, my all-time favorite bodybuilder wasn't listed.

Milos Sarcev.

Arnold all the way

Arnold is bodybuilding

He's a beast and has great propotions at the same time

God like physique

If my brain was the size of Arnolds bicep, I'd be a rocket scientist.  :-P
