[Gymini29]

fitness models rather than bodybuilders.

I kind of take issue with Zyzz getting the #3 slot. He was ripped. The end. He did not have a better physique than all 17 of the guys they put behind him, especially Jaco de Bruyn.

Couldn't agree more, the way they repeat every "catch phrase" he uttered (especially things like "brah" and "aesthetics") to the n-th degree, like some deranged mantra that would bring them closer to their "god" or "prophet", gets to me. So many of them are unique enough and should have strong enough personalities that they don't have to base their fitness persona and philosophy on some vacuous and shallow online personality.

I have no idea how Aziz was in real life, maybe he was a friendly and down to earth person, but I guess that is pointless for me to speculate on. The online personality called Zyzz was something else though and not at all the pioneer of "aesthetics" as some people would have you believe.

If you want to see perfect muscle, aesthetics and a gorgeous mien, Google Bob Paris. That man was an Aesthete par excellence.

I was only one when he retired from bodybuilding, so I never would have been able to see him in his prime, but I agree he had the absolute perfect physique. When I first discovered him online, I knew I wanted to look like that someday.

awful list

[AT2000]

Not even an honorable mention for Adam Charlton?

[raven79]

That list is horrible. Half of those guys are just average and nothing special. Lazar Angelov should have been #1, not that Steve Cook guy. Lazar is hands down the most impressive guy on that list.

Matt Ogus and Alon Gabbay were on there and should have been higher too. Slight bias, but seriously a lacking list.
