Mr Beefy, good answer. You can keep the name and I will not resort to calling you Mr Soy. I think the Crippler would kick Arnold’s ass because Arnold is a pussy. In reality, I think Arnold has the best physique of all time. I chose Benoit as my ideal physique because my frame is similar to his and makes me feel better to think I could actually look like him someday. There’s no way in hell I could ever look like Arnold. Give me 10 million dollars to spend on food and supplements, access to any gear I wanted and a schedule of only sleeping, eating and training and I could still not look like Arnold.
I couldnt find a Benoit program so I have devised the following … Its GVT with the following split Day 1 shrugs superset dips Day 2 off, Day 3 shrugs superset Deads, day 4 off, day 5 shrugs superset bent rows day 6 and 7 off ;). Seriously, I think the wolverine is one of the most “beleivable” wrestlers with awesome intensity (I loved the chops on Y2fatboy at no way out - who cares who won after that). In a real brawl, Id bet he could have done oragami and macrami practice with Arnold :). I also think his build is superb and am pretty sure the whole stocky/ape thing is caused by him carrying more or less the maximum amount of upper body mass you would want at that height. I think 200 pounds at that height would still be “more than adequate”
Damn, who cares who can beat Arnold’s ass or anyone else’s. I have a feeling there are alot of kids posting here.
Relax NaturalMan, we’re just having a little fun here. If you don’t like it than don’t read the post. There is a real display of ignorance on this forum at times.
I’d have to go for Frank Zane or Serge Nubret. Both were perfectly proportional and symmetrical. Unlike today’s pro’s who are hugely grotesque with no symmetry whatsoever ( apart from maybe Flex Wheeler )
I believe that all the pro comp’s thesedays are just based on who can be the biggest, with proportion and symmetry not coming into it at all.
I know you guys will probably give me a hard time over this one…but Dolf Lundgren when he was in He-man. I got a poster of him from that still in my basement gym. I know what my genetics are, and I know what my potential is…and that would be it right there…either that or when he was in Rocky #243645 or whatever the hell it was…but he is my ideal physique for me and my build.
Hoser, thanks for letting me keep the name. Just the idea of being called Mr Soy makes my balls ache. I understand what you mean about never being able to look like Arnold. Not only was Arnold huge, but his muslce bellies, like his biceps and chest, had a very unique shape and I’ve never seen anyone else like him. I just think the guy is in another category, and basically is the only bodybuilder I’ve ever said that I would want to look exactly like and have no complaints. He was freaky, but his freakiness was perfect and didn’t go too far in my opinion. If I was going to pick someone with a similar structure to my own, I would have to go with the Kool-Aid guy. On another note, I was just having a little fun with the whole Arnold/Benoit thing. Come on NaturalMan, you’ve never set around with your buds and had the “who would win in a fight between…” discussion? Here’s one for you, who would win in a fight between NaturalMan and NaturalLightMan (a.k.a Natty less fatty)? What can I say, I’m a kid at heart!
Whopper, I agree about Dolph in Rocky 4, he looked awesome as did Sly in the same movie. Definitely the best shape he’s ever been in. For me though I’d have to say Van Damme!! Lean and shapely, unlike myself, Yokozuna!!!
Zane. My second choice would probably one of those dudes on the cover of something like Men’s Health.
Stalone in Rambo II
any idea how he trained?
On benoit’s training.
Awhile back someone posted on a discussion board that they saw him train a few times. Apparently he does bodybuilding movements with moderate weight ans strict form for high sets/reps. IE. Smith machine squats for several sets of 10-12 with no more than 225lbs. Smith machine incline bench with no more than 215lbs for 10-12 reps, etc. Dumbell curls with 30lbs for 12 reps, etc etc etc. He also does a LOT of direct neck work. So he kind of works out like a pussy, no power movements for him. I do admit that he has an excellent physique for someone who travels 250 days per year.
Bob Paris , (not his sexual attitudes )
real perfect in anypart of his body.
Shawn Ray if he is not so short.
