Yeah, Flex might be my pick for shoulders as well.
Back- Dorian/jackson
Arms- Priest/Oliva (I think Arnold and Scott had great arms too, but oliva’s were just so damned thick)
Legs- Coleman/DeMayo/Warren (there’s also a guy who I’ve seen pics of with hyooge upper legs, one of the guys on IM has him as his avatar, but I can’t for the life of me remember his name)
Shoulders- Ruhl/Wheeler
Chest- Arnold/Nubret/warren
Calves- matarazzo/yates[/quote]
Glad Nubret got a mention for chest
I also put my vote for flex’s shoulders not that its worth much

I have to agree with Oliva as canditate for best arms… He never really had his conditioning down… But damn, that guy would annihilate everyone if he were a competitor today (with a more modern approach to training and diet… Probably even without insulin…)

!!! KIDDING !!!
lol
Why? Abs are a very important muscle group for a bodybuilder, they pop out and complete the physique. [/quote]
Of course. I was messing around with the ‘hawt abz’ rhetoric that gets thrown around sometimes, thats all. I would never compliment a bodybuilder by saying he has ‘hawt abz’ lol

i’ll give sergio big props on size, but in terms of shape and aesthetics…not even in the top 10.

Well I guess that’s what makes aesthetics so subjective.
Oliva did not have anywhere near the best peaked biceps by any means. He also unfortunately didn’t really understand how to pose to highlight his arms to their potential. Nor did he seem to ever really get his conditioning down (as Carnage mentioned).
But the guy had quite possibly the thickest arms ever, and had some of the longest muscle bellies of all time as well. His insertion points were unreal. He also tore his left tricep later in his career, which certainly didn’t help his arm aesthetics. But if you look at older pictures, like the one above I personally think he’s got great aesthetics (but again that’s based on my personal opinion of what is aesthetic).

Especially with his ridiculously tiny waist…
#Edit: That pic is an offseason pic, btw. (these days you have to mention that…)
Legs- Coleman/DeMayo/Warren (there’s also a guy who I’ve seen pics of with hyooge upper legs, one of the guys on IM has him as his avatar, but I can’t for the life of me remember his name)

this guys not a bodybuilder but hes a good set of traps [/quote]
Yeah, Lesnar is a beast. Wrestlers in general tend to have pretty good traps (and thick necks, which adds to the effect). Randleman’s got some good traps on him as well.
