    Hi Nick - Love your videos. And I appreciate the thorough and thoughtful analysis of the sport, especially the respect given for the history and old school guys. On that note, your list has some conspicuous omissions, most notably Sergio “The Myth” Olivia who had crazy muscle mass and freaky proportions with an unbelievably small waist and joints. I also think Mike “Heavy Duty” Mentzer deserves an honorable mention on your genetics list. Cheers.

    Marc Lobliner did a video a couple years back on this and told a story that in the late 90’s when he was working for Weider he gave Kevin Levrone a ride somewhere about 12 weeks out from the Olympia and noticed Kevin had lost all his size, as it was known throughout his career he played in a rock band and would come off gear and not train for the majority of the offseason, losing his gains. 12 weeks later at the Olympia Kevin showed up onstage having gained something like 40 pounds of muscle, peeled, and placed top 3. I’d say that’s pretty wild genetics.

    My s/o is 63, and has been slowly getting into bodybuilding since his total knee replacement in 2011. He's one of those lucky guys who put on muscle just living day to day. His doctor (back in the day) described him as a "heavily muscled man" before he ever decided to start weight training. The thing is, he's one of those genetically gifted men who didn't realize what he had, because he was always kind of heavy set. BTW, he was a collegiate wrestler until the top US collegiate wrestler at the time blew his knee out. The reason I mention all this is because when he started getting more serious about weight training, his testosterone levels were at the lowest levels of the norm for that test. Last year he decided to work out more (as much as he could and still work 12 hour shifts), and even more recently is lifting every day. He just went in for his yearly physical, and his T levels are now smack in the middle of norm for that test. No enhancements, just weight lifting. We've heard that lifting helps keep T levels up; he's a believer now. BTW too, he's looking at entering his first show this next year; problem being finding a trainer in our area that understands bb and isn't simply into fitness.

    @Nick's Strength and Power I heard that Dorian Yates actually didnt have to train as much to put on muscle. Didnt he say he hit each body part once a week, and was only in the gym 4 days a week for like an hour each session? Looking at how big Dorian got, if he was only doing 4-one hour sessions a week he definitely deserves to be in the top 5 list for most genetically gifted for putting on muscle.

  • @danestanley-sandymartin
    @danestanley-sandymartin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Surprised you didn't include Lee Priest. Photos of him as a teenager in comparison to any other teenage body builder comes down to genetics rather than steroid use. Lee was a beast from age 12-13 and got better every single year. His mass for his height was insane too.

  • @funny-video-YouTube-channel
    @funny-video-YouTube-channel 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is a massive *load of muscle.*
    Phil Heath still looks natural, if he relaxes his legs, which is a huge bonus, because even muscle is more valued than pop-out parts that look too large in comparison to other parts of the body.
    Even proportions are extremely important in this sport.

    I agree with all except your number 5. He's an honorable mention. Flex Wheelers conditioning was dynamic. You have to consider who he lost to. Definitely an uncrowned Mr. O. I refuse to let Wheeler not be mentioned. When we saw Shawn Rhoden defeat Phil we revisited Flex again. Otherwise you were on point as always. Your really good at what you do. Most appreciated is your humility in what you do. I watch every time you press enter!

    Nick, Nick Nick. Youre missing some greats in here, which imo are better than this list. 1. Lee priest - biggest arms proportional to body size ever, not too mention his muscle bodies were insane. Guy had massive calves and quads too, unbeatable abs and body symmetry. 2. Flex wheeler, probably the most underrated uncrowned mr.olympia ever. 3. Sergio Oliva, best v taper ever and the king of the victory pose. 4 - Kevin levrone - yet another guy with crazy genetics. best shoulders ever. Dorian shoukdnt even be on this list as a mention. only thing guys had was size, his flow and symmetry was disgusting. He did have an amazing back, ill give you that. Genetics isn't just about size, and most would argue size is the least important factor of genetics. Look at greg kovacs. guy was 400+ pounds in the off season, but he looked like a balloon and on stage he was just a big oversized croissant lol. genetics is your skin tone and elasticity, ability to attain muscle maturity, muscle bodies, symmetry and insertions etc. Size is genetic yes, but there's lots of big freak out there that look like crap still.

      I can't see what you are seeing. Arnold had waaay superior body structure to those guys in my eyes. I'm not talking about just muscle, I'm talking about length of limbs, body size and overall proportions - things that you can't train for. Arnold had the full package, which is why his physique stands out as one of a kind. Most bodybuilders are borderline dwarves with stocky stumps for limbs without any natural harmony to their body proportions.

  • @DukeOfChevo
    @DukeOfChevo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    There are few different things about genetics and bodybuilding.
    First is overall structure, shoulder width, waist, torso/leg proportion, size of joints. You can add or split structure on skeleton structure and muscle shape&symmetry.
    Second thing is ability to gain muscle. How body react on weight training. How you calves react. How much muscles can you put on your back, legs, packs...
    So, in first category (structure), top list is:
    1. Sergio Oliva
    2. Big Ramy
    3. Lee Haney
    Regarding muscle shape:
    1. Flex Wheeler
    2. Phill Heat
    2. Brandon Cury, Robie Robinson
    And regarding muscle mass:
    1. Ronnie Coleman.
    2. Big Ramy
    3. Victor Richard, Sergio Oliva
