Just wanted to start a thread for any great old photos that you've come across. I'll start the ball rolling with Larry Scott...

Probably not a really well known image of Arnold, but DAMN look at the thickness through his upper body!

Dave Draper, still one of my favourites and still in great shape today

Not many people could rival Arnold in terms of chest thickness/size, but Serge got pretty close IMO.

Platz was ahead of everyone in terms of leg size and development...

The 'old school' photo thread

I much prefer the aesthetics of the old school guys to the competitors of today.

At some point it just became too much.
