When did shoulders being larger than pecs become in?

[Tremonti]

What's wrong with big legs as long as symmetrical and proportional? Of course, it seems calves often lag in many bb'ers with highly-developed wheels

Big body parts are cool for guys that have em like Tom Platz, Mike Matarazzo, etc. they had a propensity for that already.

My issue is the delts that don't even look human anymore. Backs and legs that just look bulky. You think Arnold would have looked great at 300lbs? No..,he was perfect at 225.

Symmetrically sound bodybuilding is what the sport needs. Lee Labrada, Shawn Ray, even Lee Haney. The trend is starting to head that way again and will hopefully revert back to 1990's and prior.

Size and symmetry met at a perfect cross roads in the late 80's and early 90's. Then it exploded from there to something I personally don't like as much.

If the chest is wide and strong looking,
I think that's great, but a big chest that
Comes out forward, reminds me of breasts.

But that could just be me, trying
To justify my 180lbs and little chest.

I do like the distended bellies though.
Reminds me of pregnant women, and
Anyone who knows me, knows that besides a women's smelly feet
And big female Jew noses, a pregnant women is a major turn
On for me.

Lol does everyone who knows you know you have a penchant for smelly feet, big noses, and pregnant women. I need to open up more haha!

Feet are important though I must admit. Not so sure about smelly ones!

How much did Arnold weigh in that pic??

 

[cvictorg]

These look pretty good to me

Colman terrible, my Arnold, The God for those years. More steroids now. OK!

 

[Drea'An]

He would have not won. Arnold the winner by aesthetics alone. Colman, a super juicer. Cried when he won the last one. Pitiful on the floor! Now it comes downs to to how is the best juicer in town? Training ain't got shit to do with it, it's that sleep and that juice that make the champion. Desire and want humans basic natures.

 

[Drea'An]

Probably since mine are so under developed?

It's a Fad! LOL

When chest became popular to train once a week.

Colman terrible, my Arnold, The God for those years. More steroids now. OK!

It's more like the combination of high dossages of HGH, Slin, IGF and force feeding causing the innards to grow.

To me growing enough inards to feed a small isolated village isn't worth it to me.

I agree, I've always been a fan of pectoral development and I've never seen the attraction of gigantic bulbous shoulders unless they're complimenting large, sculpted pecs

 

[dnoyez]

but then again ive never been a fan of the ass cheek chest either with no deltoids to hold it up...

Tom Platz was amazing -> https://thinksteroids.com/community/threads/134297259

I remember when I first saw Tom Platz in the early 80's. I thought I was seeing things. No one, and I mean No one had Quads anywhere near his size.
I remember a Picture on the cover of Muscle and Fitness with Platz and Franco Columbu, side by side, and the caption read "Look at Zee Thighs", with an arrow pointing toward Tom. It was amazing......................JP

I think tom had a good upperbody that people overlooked.

I've always been a fan. Bigger delts will draw attention away from the centerpiece.

Many people have likened bodybuilding to sculpting the body as an artist would sculpt clay. Unfortunately there are good artists and there are bad artists.

I think modern IFBB is leaning away from the mass monsters and heading more into the aesthetics department. You gotta think about something, the 90 and early 2000's experienced a surge in drug research mostly thanks to the internets expanding in the process and becoming more readily available to the average joe. Also the black markets expanded with such also. The last mass monster we saw was jay cutler. Everyone else now at this point is slowly going back into the route of the small waist. Its also about supply and demand, that era i mentioned we became fascinated with bigger and bigger things, good example is baseball and the steroid era. Now we are applying the education we have available on how to better perfect that, and the example we now have is ramy and kai for that direction.

Anyways want to talk just beautiful perfection, check out my avatar bob paris,
