[eattrainsleep]

Evan Centopani.. I know he's just a baby in the sport but he is a true representation of a bodybuilder, and I think he will have a lot to offer the sport throughout his career. I also like what Jay Cutler has done for the sport.

[Shadow]

Ronnie Coleman overall. Some other faves are Vic Martinez, Dexter Jackson, and Phil Heath.

Ronnie Coleman................ after ronnie then, victor martinez, kai greene, phil heath, dexter jackson

[DECABEATZ]

My fav was ronnie omg i remember going to the 98 olympia in ny city at the garden he was amazing ever since then he has been favorite. But since he is retired now its victor martinez i met him like 5 years ago and he was really cool we talked for like 3o minutes - really nice guy the last 5 years he has improved tremendously.

Cuban Muscle Sergio Olivia

[The Thinker]

I have a great deal of respect for a lot of guys so in the past it has always been difficult to pick just one guy. However, after meeting Phil Heath a couple of time he has me won over. Not only is he a complete FREAK but he is also one hell of a nice guy.

[Jeffsygo]

Lee Priest and Eddie Robison

[Cressler]

Dorian Yates, Jay Cutler, Branch Warren

[J. Daniels]

As for the established greats, I'd say Rich Gaspari. Freaky conditioning.

Howver, after reading his posts on RX and his appearances in the videos and radio shows, I'm becoming a big fan of PJ Braun. Seems like a class act and extremely intelligent without a giant ego. Good luck getting that pro card PJ!!!!

[PTB]

Shawn Ray
Darrem Charles
Troy Alves
Serge Nubret
Milos Sarcev

[Chrisco915]

Yates, Matarazzo, Haney and Gaspari. I suppose Arnold is too cliche?

[elite_lifter]

Past BB Arnold/ Current- BIG RONNIE COLEMAN / I am also a Cutler fan.

[lightsoutlekina]

shawn ray
dexter jackson

[MusclesMarinara]

Current- Kai Green, Branch Warren
Past- Arnold, Columbo, Yates

[Curt James]

Current- Kai Green, Branch Warren
Past- Arnold, Columbo, Yates

Berry DeMey, former Olympia competitor (3rd place in 1988), was on PBW recently.

If you give that show a listen, tell me if you think he sounds like Franco Columbu. I say it's uncanny.

http://musclememory.com/magCovers/mmi/mmi103.jpg

[jaykay]

Ronnie, sergio, dave, Andrew giordonello

+1 for Giordonello. I guess you don't hate AnimalPak that much after all lol. He's my favorite bodybuilder also. Life is a Freakshow, Implements of My Salvation, An Alternative to Needlepoint etc are all phenomenal.
