They had love of the sport, with no regrets on how it effected their body afterwords, true lions!!! These guys today are scared to go that hard and heavy cuz they don’t want to get hurt or be in pain after retirement, in my opinion that’s leaving something on the table, when you are done with your career you should have zero regrets and I think some of theee guys now will, like Ronnie said only regret he had in life was not doing 800 for 4 reps, and look at him now, and his condition, that is a true lion!!!!
By far the best of the best era in bodybuilding history. All the competitors were good regardless. That era, they encouraged, they inspired, they respected each other and they raised the bar further bringing about the best in each other in a good way.
The 90s era was the masterclass of physiques.....they gave me the iron virus n I still feel awe struck but motivated to push myself hard like they did to achieve the ultimate manifestation of themselves in their minds.....
he's not the strongest and is he really underrated if he only had a handful of good showings? His only good showing at the Mr. O in the 90s was 1999, at the end of the decade. Apart from that one time name any other time he showed up and brought something worth mentioning for him to be considered "underrated".
@@dj_m19 you dont know jack shit about bodybuilding! He has benched 200lb dumbbell presses, 500lb incline press, also rowed 495 rows, second thing, competed in arnold classic half a dozen times but took multiple second places, winner of iron man multiple times, chris was a party freak never took his training and career seriously, so if you dont know anything shutup already.
@@rawintensity8141 so was Kevin Levrone. So was Ronnie Coleman, so was Yates with 10x better form. Cormier didn't even so full motion, he did partial reps
Because those guys lived for the sport. You have guys today who know their weaknesses and don't even try to fix it. They can't nail conditioning, their abs are garbage yet they don't address it in the off season. It like all they have in their head is Big Big Big Big, and conditioning is an after thought.
If you discount the corrupt judges in the 90s a strong argument could be made for the first half of the decade but overall I'm going to have to give it to the 80s
I loved the 90s. The Bodybuilders had Size and Symmetry like we have never seen before. But the bodybuilders of the 90s also had character and some were characters and some had both. This made bodybuilding fun to watch on a yearly basis.
The best collage of 90s bodybuilders! They were all genetic marvels with symmetric perfection! The winner would be the man who's body would aligned perfectly in that day beating the others! Other videos mention how critical that day is for all aspects of the bodybuilders mass to crescendo into perfection. I've always liked Flex Wheeler, Kevin Lavrone, Markus Ruhl, Gunter Schlierkamp and even Paul Dillet.
DORIAN "THE GOD" YATES, KEVIN LEVRONE, FLEX "THE SULTAN" WHEELER, GUNTER SCHLIERKAMP....Long story short.. GOOSEBUMPS.. Thank you nicandro vision for the tribute.
@@sandornagy3484 both are good lol but the 90s had many more top tier competitors. The entire Linup on nearly any show would have the best of the best physiques and genetics. Also the. 90s had many different looks, they had mass monsters like Yates or Nasser, Aesthetic guys like Flex or Shawn, and guys who combined the two size and aesthetics like Chris Cormier or Levrone
@@iambodybuildingyt221 yea agree they were way more top tier but also things have progressed quite a bit more to improve thier physical ability compared to older generations
Yes! This was it! I used to look forward to my monthly Muscle & Fitness/Hers, Flex, Muscular Development and other fitness magazines! Talk about inspiration and motivation!!! Thanks for this video!
@@younesbydi9153 Arnold was great in 70's but 90's guys were better. Training, nutrition, drugs, at that level, were something never heard of until then. Now if Arnold was young enough to compete in the 90's, WOW, then you would have seen the most unbelievable physique ever. Genetically Arnold was a gift from God.
Wtf are you talking about. Big Rami's legs in 2020 are most probably the best legs in the history of the sport. Branch Warren's legs are the only competitors that I see but Rami's definitely got more size and definition than Ronnie Coleman.
Regarding Charisma it is like the rest of today´s society. Nobody says what he thinks anymore. Too much political correctness, so people in public are all the same. Beauty...well there ARE beautiful bodybuilders also today, but the judging is the problem. If you let the biggest freaks win, somebody with great lines and symmetrie might not even try to compete. Back then these guys knew that they could go very far with their great shape and just enough mass.
@@craprandomvideos8481 I disagree that it’s nostalgia. I was born in 96. Saw Zyzz as a teen, got inspired to lift and learned about bodybuilding. Couldn’t understand why most of them looked like total dogshit to me. Quickly started learning about bodybuilders from the past and the 90’s guys stuck out like a sore thumb. They looked so insanely good to me, most seemed to have this charisma that made them all feel like movie stars. Their physiques just looked next level. I’m still not positive on the exact reason why, but there’s no doubt to me they were superior as a regular gym bro.
Now I see why Dorian yates is so Great and a legend. He simply outworked everybody. We had Levrone, Ray, Wheeler, Nasser, Dillet, Cormier....., My God, what a line up.
You can watch some of the Olympias from the 90s and literally not be able to decide the Top 5. There was so much depth in the talent on stage in the 90s!!!
The competition back in those days was staggering. Anyone who qualified for Mr. O could have been Mr. O. The difference between first and last place was not much. Today, the whole sport is dominated by several guys who win everything over, and over, and over... The difference between first and fifth is huge, much less the guys who place near the bottom.
THE 90's BODYBUILDING ERA. The Mr Olympia had started “TOTALEE” Awesome. Then "BLOOD & GUTS" cast a SHADOW over the Olympia. Eclipsing all light of hope of anyone else touching a Sandow for nearly rest of the decade, and when the Shadow had finally lifted. Everything now had just become UNBELIEVABLE!………..yeah buddy! Love your vids…..They're the best.

we need to bring back this look of perfection in the 250lbs bodybuilder instead of chasing the 300lbs bodybuilder without lines, bad condition and just brutal size
Absolutely spot on it seems like today's bodybuilders are obsessed with getting to 300lbs. Levrone, wheeler, ray where never 300lbs and they looked miles better than the guys do today.
@@drewdeca2992 exactly and the problem is that our body havent changed since the 1990s so to be able to achived that you have to use more shit that end it up with bad condition , belly extension , poor abs lines, arms and calves looks smaller and poor longevity in the sport
Thanks for this video mate... u took me back at time when I started building body... Lots of my fav... flex wheeler (should have been a numerous time mr o) Kevin levrone should be a mr o like naseer , n shawn ray is best at time though I was fan of the shadow... I used to put all my energy n weight to have a back like him Many more gems in this video.. thank you
In terms of physique difference with today’s bodybuilders, it comes down to proportion. Bodybuilders back in the days followed certain rules / criteria to sculpt a muscular men’s physique. They followed certain rules like muscle group to muscle group proportion, although it’s combined with size.
In my opinion, I think they weren’t rivals.... As I can see in some videos everybody was always laughing, smiling and hugging each other. They were the real bodybuilding. Today it’s a real joke!
In the 90s they pushed and encouraged each other, they were like part of a brotherhood club, had respect and acknowledgement for each other. Unfortunately today, it's about themselves only. It's every where in the world at the moment.
Who had your favorite physique in the 90s? 💎💎💎 Probably the best lineup ever.
Always the king of Olympia Ronnie Coleman
Lee Priest
Kevin Levrone was and still is my favorite! Flex looked awesome too
King coleman
Gunter Schlierkamp, Achim Albrecht, Andreas Munzer, Milos Sarcev, Mike Matarazzo, Gary Strydom ...
These guys had something different from what we have today, pure beauty,inspiration and motivation.
It is called mass with class. Before insulin guts baby!!!
Keep working, young one.

Great sportsmanship amongst one another, Great physiques, greatest Era of BB.

So glad to have witnessed that era of competitions. Never see the likes of that again. To all the athletes. Thank you for a lifetime of inspiration.
