Compare his front shot to Munzer's and Strebl's front shot. Think again. It's not even close. As Nick said, that dude is only on there bc of that one freaky ass back shot.
Diogo Gambini Let's be honest, zyzz didn't have good legs, his back was ridiculous and he even used drug for condition you can achieve naturally. And don't forget he didn't have muscle mass and his separation was ridiculous.
Hey, Alessandro Galli is Italian like me! He's 48 now and still shredded... respect. ps the name 'Alessandro' is pronounced as written, with a 's', not like Spanish Alejandro
Shredded to the bone but let's see them do some cardio like running a 5k in 25 mins or working a 50 hour week at a blue collar job-- I agree, I DOUBT they are healthy specimens internally
Buddy....you absolutely nailed it! Starting with 3 of my favourite bodybuilders (Frank Zane, Helmut Strebl and Andreas Munzer) to the surprising addition of Rich Gaspari, which I have to say I agree with. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Alessandro is incredible. Never even heard of him. You can find the autopsy report somewhere online of Munzer. He had lots of bad stuff in his body and died right after a contest he was in.
Zane is all about 'presenting big'. He had said that when you're up on stage, judges don't have a tape measure. It's the presentation. His proportions were flawless, along with condition. And so on stage, he was absolutely shredded, he has a back that was very wide in comparison to his waist, and solid quads that looked bigger in comparison to his waist. So not only did he present bigger than guys like Mentzer, who was big and solid, but blocky, he was better conditioned.
Correction he didn’t die from diuretics.... from cytadren use which lowered his white blood count and when he had the stomach ulcer his body couldn’t stop the bleeding ... hence he died from internal bleeding! This is well documented!
Extremely impressive how conditioned these athletes are. Personally at the point where my glutes start looking like huge raisins I'd stop cutting for reasons of aesthetics, but nonetheless you have to be crazy dedicated to pull that look off in the first place.
Nick, I don’t know how I ended up on your videos, because I don’t like bodybuilding, especially not the way these Mr Olympia’s look nowadays, but your content is so good that now I always watch man. Great job.
Always great videos on lost and forgotten strangth and forgotten talent that should have came in better or a loss a tittle because of fame and popularity always good keepem come 💪💪
Great list !!! #3 & Andreas are just crazy insane shredded. No skin like a live anatomy chart. It can't be good for your health but I admire them taking it that far.
Mad respect for Munzer. PEDs were not the only thing he took to the extreme. The physique he achieved is also the result of years of very hard training and extremely strict dieting.
Mike O'Hare is the phony as well I hate to call him a bodybuilder on Earth trying to tell everybody he's not on roids have some guts and tell everybody what you're really on
Andreas... I feel like he was robbed a little, at least some better placings even if you don't think he should have a few first places finishes. The shred for that size was incredible. He had some insanely low fat % for a pro. It's a shame because that shape and shred today would put a lot of these top place finisher a run at the olympia... You just don't see sharpness like that anymore
great clips and love your vids... this is a great list... i might also runner-up suggest Bob Paris, Flex Wheeler maybe Franco???, Robby Robinson, Serge Nubret...
I can give you a story on munzer. I went to train in his gym in austria and he had tons of empty blisters of various stuff in the trash can. He told me all that matterd to him was being ripped 365 days of the year. He was a very good guy!
I trained at the same Highland Park, NJ gym as Gaspari did back in the late 70's, early 80's. Even back then, Rich's veins had veins. He was freakishly striated, not to mention incredibly strong and nice guy to boot.
You brought up a good point that he was the biggest guy with that crazy low body fat. Videos ive seen of him that arnt pictures i dont really see that but like you said, he died doing this which sucks. I think bodybuilding is actually heading in a better direction now after younger people see what happened to these guys from 20 years ago, even seeing Ronnie Coleman now will impact younger people.
Great video! Have you seen the pics of Helmut's shredded shoulders (so many striations and cross-striations) and neck? The last one is something I have never seen before. Btw, at 03:52....is this the absolute hardest muscles can look?
#2 is insane. He misses one meal and he dies lmao
Lucio Castro I know him personally. Trains at my gym & is natty (natural)
😂😂😂😂
he must have been no 1
hes worlds most shredded man
Lucio Castro. Well I guess it's a good thing he eats a lot of food then, the right stuff anyway.
bodybuilders most vulnerable to a paper cut
Lol
I'm you first comment and you have 244 likes
Mahmud Alhit you were the 2nd one
Something in the water? Don't think they drink any water at all considering how conditioned they come in.
Awesome... I'd honestly rather have the physique of any one of these guys than the mass Monsters of today.....
joseph abrams ,lokk.jo
M
Why ?
Lithuanian Potato next to that i dont think its pretty. Its far from attractive.
These physiques are also even deadlier than the ones of the mass monsters.
says almost everyone
Dude number 3 is by far the freakiest on this list
I know right? Hes growing alien in his glutes!
Compare his front shot to Munzer's and Strebl's front shot. Think again. It's not even close. As Nick said, that dude is only on there bc of that one freaky ass back shot.
He's also very symmetrical, the other guys are so lean you can see asymmetries.
His glutes look like a pumpkin
the picture of his back it looks like he has a giant dick on his back his ass mucles being the balls jesus christ I'm dying here
I still think Helmut Strebl was and is the most shredded human being that has ever existed and should be number 1 on this list.
Yes, but hé is little
Worked with Helmut.. nice guy.
@@tomspice73 Little? Says the 120lb skinny fat nerd
Totally agree
I still consider Frank zain to be the king of Aesthetics... thats how you're supposed to look...
Adnan sharique That title belongs to Zyzz
Diogo Gambini im a zyzz fan but frank zanes aesthetics is unbeatable
Diogo Gambini Let's be honest, zyzz didn't have good legs, his back was ridiculous and he even used drug for condition you can achieve naturally.
And don't forget he didn't have muscle mass and his separation was ridiculous.
Adnan sharique I totally agree...
Adnan sharique serge nubret was a bigger and better version of zane (saying about aesthetics)
Hey, Alessandro Galli is Italian like me! He's 48 now and still shredded... respect. ps the name 'Alessandro' is pronounced as written, with a 's', not like Spanish Alejandro
luckyluckydog123 Oh finalmente qualcuno glielo ha fatto notare 😂
Volevo scriverlo anche io...
@@SamueleNetwork altri italiani!
Haha I was wondering why he pronounced it like that.
Italiani siii
Nicks tops and fives
This list is epic and the dude in the thumbnail is nuts
Not usually a fan of top 5 lists but this was a pretty interesting one man good job
1:48 why are his traps literally detaching lol
excluding number one on the list.
I wonder what condition their hearts and kidneys are in.
Shredded to the bone but let's see them do some cardio like running a 5k in 25 mins or working a 50 hour week at a blue collar job-- I agree, I DOUBT they are healthy specimens internally
Where is Big Lenny at?
Jacob Marquez I'm waiting for Jason blaha
I'm just waiting for him to get 700 lbs ripped.
Yeah Blohino and his not bald relatively narrow hips needs to be on here too.
It sick it piss
...because of the anabolic window he is eating some burgers and fries!
Helmut Strebl is like looking at those skinless anatomy in anatomy books
home run nick!!! one of your best yet!!! love it
"most be something in the Austriac water" that was the line of the video ahaha

God damn it, some of Gunther von Hagens' plastinations came back to life! It is almost like an early Romero or Jackson movie.
*Nicks Strength and Honorable Mentions*
I’ve been importing the water from Austria for 3 years, secret to my natty gains. You exposed my secrets Nick
Stoked you made this video
The glutes look like raisins haha
Always great videos on lost and forgotten strangth and forgotten talent that should have came in better or a loss a tittle because of fame and popularity always good keepem come 💪💪
Helmut Strebl reminds me of a cadaver from A&P.
Great list! Thanks for this video!
Ben Stiller coming in at #2 👏👏👏
Besides the great content as always, mate your channel us growing by 1,000's a day! Congrats!!!
Guys 3 and up are more shredded than a cadaver
Perfect list Nick 👌 Good Job
Where is brad castleberry

Lol thats funny
Great list !!! #3 & Andreas are just crazy insane shredded. No skin like a live anatomy chart. It can't be good for your health but I admire them taking it that far.
Wow! #2 - Helmut Strebl looks like a living anatomy chart. You don't see Mr Olympia competitors that ripped these days.
Good video dude, once again.
Waiting for Vince Mcmahon to chime in on this video lol
You went deep on this one brother... great video
Frank Zane will always be the true Olympian, the true aesthetic guy.
That's how you're supposed to look, not those trash freaks of today.
What about arnold and colombo
Nick's Strength and Signing out, Power.
Yates!
I agree but id have to include Clarence Bass of the Ripped series of books in the mix. Lowest bodyfat clinically measured. Good vid.
Frank Zane deserves a picture on my wall
Mad respect for Munzer. PEDs were not the only thing he took to the extreme. The physique he achieved is also the result of years of very hard training and extremely strict dieting.
5:54 superior genes 😂
Thanks Nick enjoyed the video a lot.
Mike O Hearn is number 1 in any and all categories
Riaz Fabian and he does it fully natty vegan and with only water fasting
Mike O'Hare is the phony as well I hate to call him a bodybuilder on Earth trying to tell everybody he's not on roids have some guts and tell everybody what you're really on
Always good to see pictures of Frank Zane, I think he’s the best of the best....
ALRIGHT WHATS GOING ON YOU GUYS
Great vid Nick.
Andreas... I feel like he was robbed a little, at least some better placings even if you don't think he should have a few first places finishes. The shred for that size was incredible. He had some insanely low fat % for a pro. It's a shame because that shape and shred today would put a lot of these top place finisher a run at the olympia...

5:19 Holy cow, coming in that shredded at 234-240; he was only 5'8".
When are you going to do videos on The ms. Olympia winners?
great clips and love your vids... this is a great list... i might also runner-up suggest Bob Paris, Flex Wheeler maybe Franco???, Robby Robinson, Serge Nubret...
You should Look Up bro Sep. Hes a Natural Bodybuilder and also INSANELY shredded
There is about 0% chance he is natty
when that #4 guy sits down he leaves grill marks
I can give you a story on munzer. I went to train in his gym in austria and he had tons of empty blisters of various stuff in the trash can. He told me all that matterd to him was being ripped 365 days of the year. He was a very good guy!
Good video bro keep up 💪
All of these examples are why guys and especially gals think “gross” when they think of bodybuilding
I would wanna look like Strebl
You’re a amazing youtuber keep it up
Thoughts on Jeff Cavalier Athlean X physiques?
Jasper Tan Needs to work on the width and thickness of his chest.
1:28 we call that Walnut butt
4:14 ripped face is more impressive than a ripped jaw!
Nick's Strength and Conditioning
Where’s Jason Genova on this list? He looked pretty freaky at the 2013 ruby classic.
It piss
Nick- CLARENCE BASS!
Jason Genova??
The intro (Nick here with Nick's Strength and Power) used to always annoy me, but now I actually kind of look forward to it.
Clarence Bass?
Luch I was going to post the same comment
GREAT - Conditioning that´s what I love in Bodybuilding. Might should add Roman Fritz as he´s all year shredded.
It's AleSSandro Galli, not Alejandro, he is ITALIAN
Americans are ignorant
@@riccardolaporta7084 you're a dumbass
Nick strength and shredds brah
Alessandro Galli is Italian, not spanish
Agree Andreas legs are just incredible for that conditioning
You missed the tom platz of abs baby
Hillary Clinton's Clit who do you mean? zyzz?
Bro your name is classic HAHAHAHA
Never heard of her
@@Carl-Johnson-CJ-GS Big lenny...search Delray Misfits channel on YT... freakiest abs on a human ever IMO
I trained at the same Highland Park, NJ gym as Gaspari did back in the late 70's, early 80's. Even back then, Rich's veins had veins. He was freakishly striated, not to mention incredibly strong and nice guy to boot.
Austrian genes man. Austrian genes.
Helmut Strebl looks like an illustration in a biology book. Like a plastic or wax statue.
2:52 what about calves 🤣
Yikes!
Zane could be #4. Love Frank Zane! Great video.
Imagine having sex while in this condition.
Old school entry: Pierre van den Steen of Belgium, a very short guy who was the most ripped competitive bodybuilder going in the 60s.
"Shedded?"
I agree #3 was insane!
*Shredded=Helmut*
You brought up a good point that he was the biggest guy with that crazy low body fat.

Where’s Vince
Nick's striation and lines.
#3 glutes r goals
pecdude what does glutes mean?
Heema Galab Butt muscle
Heema Galab ass

cringe overload
These guys take their bodies to the limit
It’s Alessandro not Alejandro 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Great video! Have you seen the pics of Helmut's shredded shoulders (so many striations and cross-striations) and neck? The last one is something I have never seen before.
Btw, at 03:52....is this the absolute hardest muscles can look?
3:00 he definitely used buns of steel
Nice, 1 and 2 are from Austria
