Best Bodybuilders of All Time

Bodybuilding popular because of him

Ronnie coleman needed 50 more pounds of body weight to match arnie's size but could not match his muscle shape. Arnie had perfect arms, chest, back, huge calfs, great definition thighs. Arnold did win on stage under 240 lbs WITHOUT looking like a freak!

the man was a phenom, every muscle in proportion and a waist like a woman for gods sake. body building in its purest form, before all the younger guys took it to the nxt level of cartoon muscles

Never comparable

The guy to use the highest doses of juice and other chemicals. Funny how he was a cop and clearly was on tons of illegal substances.

In terms of muscularity, density, overall shape, and just freakiness he will never be matched. 1999 Olympia stands a notch above anything I have ever seen on stage.

He is way bigger than arnold and everyone else in history without having used non-legit steroids

I accidentally voted for this chemist! Arnold is the greatest!

And stood him next to any of these o his size and symmetr would be too overwhelmin

The man most credit for the decline of bodybuilding. He was the first top bodybuilder to use HGH/Insulin. Sad.

Dorian has the best size, proportion and defenition of all these bodybuilders and can't be compared!

Has to be at least number 1 or 2! I mean, look at his late and his calves...

Awesome Yates was, definitely the number one.

Tiny but effect his upper chest is one of the greatest thing in bodybuilding
He is probably the most strongest Olympian..

Flex definitely deserves a higher ranking in this group. And by this group I mean that Lee Priest or Mariusz or Paul Demayo should not even be mentioned. Simply because best means best... And in BodyBuilding you have to have the total package. I agree with Sergio, Lee, Markus, Flex, Dorian, Ronnie and Arnold. But then again, it is about what we prefer... Mass? Definition? Symmetry? Smile? Posing?

He's called the sultan of symmetry for a reason guys. should be top 3!

Big Lufer! He was the nicest guy in bodybuilding. Successful off the stage as well.

He shouldn't even be on this list, yes he was the biggest bodybuilder in his time weight wise but he was 6'5 and he had a much higher boyfriend% than most guys at his time. He's a very big and strong man but do I think he deserves this five spot? No simply because he wasn't cut enough and never won a Mr. Olympia

Who make this top?
That picture is wrong, that not is Jay Cutler the Bodybuilder.
Is jay cutler the NFL player

4x Mr Olympian. Greatest Bodybuilder Ever.

Everything that arnold has, Sergio has it better. Waist, arms, chest, legs, you name it, anything. And those who think that Arnold is better than Coleman or Yates, etc are like those people who think Manchester United is better than Real Madrind, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. They don't know anything about football, or bodybuilding in this case. They just support because Arnold is the only bodybuilder they've heard of.

He should be number 1 he was so far a head of his time He should have beat Arnold in 1972. please the guy had a 27 inch waist.He was better then Arnold

Best front upper body of all time. Legs were also very good early on, his back thickness always was an issue.

Bunch of retards here, what is John Cena and Mariusz P doing here? Kevin Levrone is probably one of the most aesthetic mass monsters, amazing delts, arms and traps. Too bad his back was never up to par.

Love him or hate him you cannot deny the intensity he has and his dedication

Simply the best

;By todays standards Larry was well built, not over built, puffy, etc, like a comic book super hero. I would take that body any day over any Mr. Olympia of the past 25 years.

Larry Legend. The first/original Mr. Olympia. Anyone who came after him took something from him to enhance their own physiques.
