Ronnie Coleman at the 2001 Arnold Classic 247 lbs of Shredded Aesthetic Mass!!!

Quote from Peter McGough (One of Dorian Yates closest friends:

Flex Magazine August 2005 -

"Personally, the best physique I ever saw onstage was Ronnie's at the 2001 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. He was cut, full, trim in the waist and a monster (proving that when you're super sharp, you look super big) at 247 lbs. Ronnie sporting that look would, in my opinion be unbeatable and would make any criticisms as redundant as a chocolate squat rack."

Looks like you are loving the new site! :)
Lee Lambrada had a great fighting spirit and he competed against many giants and placed 4th 7 times consequently at Mr. Olympia which is a great feat while considering the great competitors participating in it.

Lionel Beyeke at the 2011 NY PRO - What a great Back Double Biceps. He placed 4th with Kai winning the show, but Lionel did beat Roelly, Curry & Cedric at this show.

If I am not mistaken he worked with Hany Rambod for this show and the rest of 2011? One of his best showings next to the 2014 Arnold Brazil where he should have won.

Phil Hill - One of the great physiques during the 80's. He had no weak body parts. Known for his well developed legs, Phil also had a great back!!!

Gunter Schlierkamp at the 2002 Mr. Olympia - Gunter placed 5th at this contest and should have definitely placed higher. Where would you have placed him?

I would have had him as high as 4th I think. Chris Cormier was 3rd but he looked great. Dex was 4th that year, but he wasn't near his best, like he started to be from 2005 Arnold till the recent years.
