I don’t think picking glutes for ronnie is an unpopular opinion. Other bodyparts can be debated but he has the best glutes that there’s ever been by a mile.
That makes a lot of sense! He also was one, if not the first one, to purposely "self-wedgie" to display the glutes to the max! So I'm sure he was proud of them badonkadonks.
I guess it's kind of a semantic issue."Their best body parts" can be either the most developed bodypart they have on their body or the bodypart that was the most developed compared to other bodybuilders.
Also, he allowed his emotions to get in his way when he perceived he was not treated fairly from the racial prejudices at the time. Very sad, because if he could've just ignored the things he could;nt control and focus on his gifts, he would;ve maxed out his potential IMO.
As massive as his arms were, I always felt that they lacked separation, it was as if there was so much muscle, that it filled in the spaces that create definition.

@@milankoristic6431Phil Heath was narrow, Sergio was not. Sergio's real weakness was his biceps and their lack of peak and fullness compared to the rest of his body. They looked amazing in his victory pose, but underwhelmed otherwise.

Small clavicle and also small lats.Its funny when some people say that Phil have great lats ahhaha,that is funny,his lats is funny,when you compare him to Arnold or Ramy or Ronnie he look like kid with big arms.
@@facts4751Bodybuilding is about making the best of what you have. Phil didn't have the width in his back but he filled it out to a level that was like a modern Samir Banout with details to match.
@@chefmastershake Having small lats is huge handicap,atleast i think its huge handicap,judges dont think as i,and we have result of that in bodybuilders today who looks like shit,where their hips are wider than upper body.Also lats i biggest upper body muscle like gluteus/quads are for lower body.My point is that if you are narrow its easy to fill out,every body part looks bigger and fuller when you are narrow,just you as person look small especialy in shirt.Compare Ramy and Phil who are almost same height,Ramy in clothes is 3x times bigger,and again everyone makes complain about him like he have weird delts and quads....yes man but is it bigger flaw to have weird quads or to be that narrow like Phil...?I choose second,without doubt.
@@valerioscharer4676 Arnold have wider hips and waist but he is also soo wide,in compare to Phil who have narrow back and hips but his hips are not wide from bones structure like Arnold,his hips are wide because his butt is bigger than Arnolds.And again i dont change my mind,every normal man will pick Arnold physique over Phils.
This is such an awesome video! Thanks Marx! love your videos and agree your selections in this video! Keep up the good work of promoting the sport we all love! 🙌
Derek's shoulders are insane especially from the back, Phil has best shaped forearms in history in my opinion, Franco's upper chest is one of the biggest too.
I was caught up with the early phases of my marriage, career and parenting during the Ronnie/Cutler era so I've been catching up. Peak Jay Cutler was freaking amazing. He was incredible. Geez!
While Dorian Yates has freakish calves and yes l cannot argue the logic behind stating that was his best muscle group, but man that Front lat spread Dorian Yates is King and best of all time.
That's a really good video and it is tough to pick your best body parts on those guys. I was at the 2014 Mr Olympia and had been absent from the scene for a few years. All the buzz was going around during prejudging about this new guy named big Rami. In 30 some odd years in the sport I have never been taken aback by somebody's physique like when he walked out to do his routine. Is quads were unbelievable and he had a tiny little waist and ridiculously wide shoulders. I believe it was 2016 when we started seeing those grotesque holes in his quads. The Middle East has sight injections that we can't get. If big Grammy would have ever figured out conditioning he probably would have won eight or nine Mr Olympia s. I'm sure he trusted other authorities but those sign injections ruined his quads and other places on his physique . Along with that we've never seen him shredded. I can see him coming back and winning the Arnold 2024. We have never seen size and shape on one guy like that.
What you Said Marx Sergio is true ,Saw him Guest pose early 80’s and got autograph after His Forearms were Crazy Massive ,With veins and small wrist (Looking) but probably big but everything was huge with that tiny waist
there really hasn't been an overwhelmingly convincing olympia champion since phil. hadi came close but still not light out (even if he was robbed this year)
Hey really awesome video. I’m a big fan of your content. Just a couple of points I want to make. Holy crap Jay Cutler was incredibly wide. You showed some rare photos of all the athletes here and a few of those really highlighted Jays overall size. People talk about his shoulders and his quad, but shit the guy was wide as a house. For me personally Ramy was so aesthetically unappealing. Never liked any of his looks.
What confuses me is how come nobody looks like the old school bodybuilders anymore it’s like impossible to find someone that has the same frame as Arnold and those era guys
I think Jay Cutler had really great mid section. Definitely agree on Ronnie's glutes, but i think Dorian had best mid and lower back. Like two thick snakes.
19:25 makes his neck his strongest part. And neck was not named so would be make the body parts complete. Sergio was not good in biceps. Was to flat in relation. To say that Arnold has a god delt seems wrong. His shoulder was his weakpoint. Maybe not the delt alone but the whole shoulder muscles.
The reason why Lunsford back is larger, look under his arms. Sinthol. He extended his back with Sinthol. Both are ripped equally in the back. I believe Chopan should have won, but this is the time of Derek who is aesthetically pleasing, but these bumps under his arms, not pleasing. Cheating like Sombati.
Zane is tough as you said no real stand out bodypart. I think that was actually his strong point ! Conditioning that no one could match and his symetry to this day is still what people are drawn too. Line up all mr o s ever and ask any non bodybuilding person who they would want to look like and 9/10 would say Zane.
Glutes for Ronnie for sure. Even in his 03 version they still looked incredibly over developed despite how massive he was everywhere else. Striated and massive, unmatched even by todays standard.
Speaking of abusing site injections, Derek lunsford is the worst of the modern day bodybuilders . Look at his latch on stage this year at the Olympia from the front. There were huge side injection red bruises on his lats. Also, on his upper glutes and they look ridiculous. Judging in the ifbb is a freaking joke. They have made it crystal clear that Derek is the champion whether he is or not. Let's see if Nick Walker gets an automatic invite. He would have walked the doggie with all three of the top three. Inch for in she's one of the biggest bodybuilders we've ever seen and he always comes in shredded
I don’t think picking glutes for ronnie is an unpopular opinion. Other bodyparts can be debated but he has the best glutes that there’s ever been by a mile.
Agree, but when everything looks crazy its hard to pick something else than his glutes thats just insane(nohomo)
Facts nobody has ever come close to his glutes
Those glutes look so good 😅

Sergio Oliva had almost every gift a bodybuilder could ask for. If only he could have devoted himself to bodybuilding and fullfilled his potential
He worked full time so Yes you are correct
Also, he allowed his emotions to get in his way when he perceived he was not treated fairly from the racial prejudices at the time. Very sad, because if he could've just ignored the things he could;nt control and focus on his gifts, he would;ve maxed out his potential IMO.
@@ogsilverback971 he did? in his interviews in his later life he didn't at all seem enranged

He was close to perfection!!
He is one of most balanced physique,upper to lower body best balance,but he is not perfect,because he is narrow.

14:10 Yates' best body part is his Sartorius. Look at that thing snaking down his leg, so defined, it gives his legs a unique look.
Absolutely
Well, the impressiveness of his sartorius pales in comparison to his back so
Yates' legs are very, very underrated. He had great, aesthetic legs.
@@Aybee.AB-.-72idk, the fact you hardly ever see Sartorius muscles these days makes it that nuch more special
@@simohayha6031 I mean you got Urs in the classic division, He is the only one who I noticed who has popping Sartorius muscles these days imo

They are a thing of beauty for sure!
Arnold called him the first bodybuilder with perfect arms. He was right.
@@guillaumebillette4078 Larry Scott teach him how to train arms. He have the best way to train arms.
Also surprised delts werent at least mentioned for Phil Heath, its the one thing that saved his somewhat narrow clavicles

That J-Roc ‘noooooo wadamsayin’ got me big time 26:45
This is such an awesome video! Thanks Marx! love your videos and agree your selections in this video! Keep up the good work of promoting the sport we all love! 🙌
Really loved this video, you know what else would be neat? Best body parts of every Mr. O runner-up.
You should do a series for every second place Olympian. Even expand it to the top 5 at some point if u enjoy and they perform well
You had some very rarely seen photos. Nice.
Excellent commentary.
6:15 u don’t think colombos upper chest was world class? That thing was insane
This video reminds me of luimarco back in the day. Nice stuff
Please do more bodybuilding history videos and old bodybuilder profiles
Love these kind of videos ❤
Do best mandatory poses again 😊
Columbo had the nastiest lower lats 100%. Tied tight into the waist.
Great video idea, Marx!
5:50 - in fact in pumping iron, Arnold says to Danny Padilla “Look at the delts” whilst watching his best friend posing.
Great video
Derek's shoulders are insane especially from the back, Phil has best shaped forearms in history in my opinion, Franco's upper chest is one of the biggest too.
Not a single striation in Dereks delt. Mm pose especially looks ridiculously bad
Ramon dino actually has the best forearms. Both brachioradialis and flexors are huge and have long insertion
@@elpepe8285But he didn't win the Olympia
I love these type of videos Mark, how about most underrated or overrated body parts too.
This was a great video. I enjoyed it
no ones gonna talk about how bro can sound exactly like jay and arnie?????
This video is going to be big!!!
I think for Phil, it's his brachialis.
You must mean brachioradialeees baby please.😁
I was caught up with the early phases of my marriage, career and parenting during the Ronnie/Cutler era so I've been catching up. Peak Jay Cutler was freaking amazing. He was incredible. Geez!
Thanks weirdo. Love these
I laugh every time I watch these videos. This guy is knowledgeable, informative, but funny as hell.
While Dorian Yates has freakish calves and yes l cannot argue the logic behind stating that was his best muscle group, but man that Front lat spread Dorian Yates is King and best of all time.
100 them lats are aliens
@@at3955 Arnold have bigger lats then Dorian.
Arnold's chest beats all. Off season, just standing on a beach and still looks incredible.
You should do a vid on Derek’s 212 Olympia win vs his first open Olympia win
Look at Rhoden at 22:10 ... I honestly think this is the most God-Like pose to EVER be displayed on an Olympia stage. Shockingly beautiful.
Loved the video
Sergio had “Poppye” forearms!😂
You missed a trick with Arnold's chest by leaving out that crazy flye spread pectoral photo, where he was stretched out like wingspan.
I was thinking the same thing. I would always picture it when I did them haha.
Perfect video ❤ way to go
Great comparison. Really liked Naser
Dorian’s Lats = To this Day!
Brandon Hendrickson has a great Christmas tree
Marx , I've been watching you for A few years, 1 of the very best 💖💪🇬🇧
JAY CUTLER IN 2009 WAS ON WHOLE NEW LEVEL
"Big-Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong" caught me so off guard
Chris Dickerson - his pointy elbow 😂. Strongest point

NOW YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO A VIDEO WITH THE WORSE BODY PART OF EVERY MR O
I knew you were going to say glutes for Coleman. He had many great body parts but that stuck out the most out of all bodybuilders.
Shawn Rhodes could have won from 2019 till now. Epic physique
Sergio Oliva was the Ramon before Ramon was born, paved the way for big forearms haha
Just got the encyclopedia this Christmas, waiting to see that picture 🤣
Scott: Biceps
Oliva: Midsection
Arnold: Biceps
Franco: Lats
Zane: Midsection
Dickerson: Calves
Bannout: Spinal erectors
Haney: Lats
Yates: Lats
Coleman: Hamstrings
Cutler: Delts
Heath: Triceps
Roden: Midsection
Curry: Delts
Ramy: Quads
Hadi: Abs
Lunsford: Lats
When I say Midsection I mean the narrow width and taper into waist as opposed to abs)
I would love to see a 2018 shawn comparison with 2023 Andrew jacked. Similar flows and I think it could be tighter than you’d think
That Oliva victory pose is incredible. Still unmatched.
I think Haney's chest is up there too.
i completely agree its Ronnies glutes are absolutely insane
Ronnie has the best front double biceps ever, the best glutes and the best back. Phil was very close to
The scroll up for the calves on Dexter 😵
I'd lean towards brachioradialis or triceps with Phil. Especially the brachioradialis were crazy, defying reason even
Jay Culter's shoulder-to-waist ratio is the best ever!!!
Noo,his waist is too wide.
Really? think so?@@milankoristic6431
Dude his waste was wide. Jay’s best body part were his front quads by far!! He had deep cuts and the tear drop with crazy feathering!
Oooooh long form MMM. Great!
Hadi Choopan oblique make my mouth water 🤤

wish you did call out reviews for shows mate, with tomn8er leaving i think there is a massive gap in that sense rn
Vince Gironda created the preacher bench. Larry trained at Vince's gym.
Mike Matarazzo definitely has the biggest calves of all time
Wrong! I believe Rubiel has now taken that title bud. 😂
Talk about Deep Dive Marx ,Awesome
Yes, I've developed my forearms through decades of Olympic weightlifting... and maybe some other activities. 🤔
Cue supersetman bodging these together into one physique!
I think Jay Cutler had really great mid section. Definitely agree on Ronnie's glutes, but i think Dorian had best mid and lower back. Like two thick snakes.
Ronnie looked like he had two boa constrictors coming down his back huge back muscles

Sergio was not good in biceps. Was to flat in relation. To say that Arnold has a god delt seems wrong. His shoulder was his weakpoint. Maybe not the delt alone but the whole shoulder muscles.
Sergio jr has hugeee forearms as well
Think I agreed with just about everything, don’t think you had any bad takes
Phil heath build different ❤❤
EVERY BODY PART ARNOLD!!
Derek also has a 10 pack so his mid section is up their too
when they ask who you wanna look like 99.9 world said Arnold
I think Lee Haney strongest body part is upper trap. Look from the back
LOL, Im laughing my ass off. Ronny's review, yeah, you're right... BUT...lololol
Ronnie Coleman did not need a lower back butterfly tattoo 😂
I'd pick rear delts for lunsford
The reason why Lunsford back is larger, look under his arms. Sinthol. He extended his back with Sinthol. Both are ripped equally in the back. I believe Chopan should have won, but this is the time of Derek who is aesthetically pleasing, but these bumps under his arms, not pleasing. Cheating like Sombati.
Let me guess? You’re a camel humper? 🐪
Lol it takes a lot of guts to say Ronnie Coleman's best bodypart is the glutes, in many ways. I agree with you, though.

Chris Dickersons best and strongest body part was his elbows 😂
Ronnie's mid traps is the obvious choice. Completely destroyed the competition
Choosing between biceps and chest for Arnold is nigh on impossible

Id take ronnie’s quads and even dereks hamstrings due to that onion skin. He was just killing Haddi in the wheels shape
Yeah, The King dominated in every category.
Me watching this video at work staring at Ronnies glutes 😅😂😂
Larry Scott's arms were a whole weight level above the rest of him. And I'd argue the tris were at least as impressive as the bis, look at that sweep
I disagree with derek's lats. They look like they're pumped full of oil
