Fav bodybuilders from any generation?

Any lifters on here actually get pumped up or inspired by any pros now or back in the day?

My fav when I first got into lifting was Frank Mcgrath. Awesome arms, crazy vascularity and the black and white ANIMAL photo shoot was iconic. He wasn't a top tier pro but trained hard and had that hardcore attitude in the gym

Dorian Yates blood and guts videos with Leroy were great. Dude was strong as phuck with good form. I remember the back training vid where he had 405 on the bar so I assumed he was gonna deadlift it and instead starts rowing it life it was nothing. And leroy yelling at him is enough to make anyone want to go the gym and start clanging and bangin

Dennis Wolf was another fav with his crazy small waist in the era of bubble guts.

Kevin Levrones crazy triceps and delts

Modern guys Samson Dauda and Andrew Jacked have crazy great shape on tall bodies. Definition of massthetics. Much better look than someone who is short and blocky imo.

I would really like to know what Dean Norris did to prepare for his role as ASAC Schrader in AMC's hit series, "Breaking Bad". It has been rumored that he took various supplements and ran a powerlifting routine to cultivate the necessary mass to play this rugged character; a character that drove women absolutely wild. I'm not ghey, but I can't help but be transfixed by his body while watching the show. I look at that physique and I see raw power. I'd estimate he can bench 550+ raw easy and OHP 400+ raw. Can't see his legs, but judging by the thickness in his back I'm thinking he's a 700+ raw puller. If his legs are on par with his brutish upper body, then there's no doubt in my mind he squats 800+ raw. Hank Schrader could bend you into a human pretzel with one hand while completely satisfying your woman in a way you couldn't ever satisfy her with the other. Those frying pan hands and thick, powerful sausage fingers are capable of bringing absolute pleasure and unimaginable pain.

Dorian pretty much started what the modern era is now, the mass monsters. If I needed to pick another based off of more recent times, I'd say Jay Cutler

I don't know...

Maybe Larry Scott and Serge Nubret. I think Serge is pretty hard to beat aesthetics wise.

As a newbie at 14 i had a 5 ft poster of Berry Demay
Then i pivoted to Sean Ray
Then i met Kevin Levrone and admired him( gave me great advice on calves)
Bob Paris had the prettiest body in my opinion
Today Derrek Lunsford and Chris Bumstead
