Did 60s-era bodybuilder Larry Scott have the best physique of all time?

[Guestx]

Much is made of Arnold's physique, as we know. And Frank Zane is a favorite of many. And then of course there's Zyzz. Oh Zyzz, RIP.

But what about Larry Scott?

For those who don't know, Scott was the first ever Mr. Olympia winner, winning the title in both 1965 and 1966. He was 5'7", usually weighed between 205 and 215 lbs, and was the first bodybuilder to reach the 20" arm milestone.

Every time I run across his pics I fail to find flaws in his physique. He always seems to have just the right amount of mass without having too much. His physique seems to be perfectly symmetrical. And I find him to be the definition of an "aesthetic" look.

So I'm putting it out there: Larry Scott had the best physique of all time.

Agree or disagree?

Also, I'll just add that he kept himself in shape and continued to kick ass even into his 70s:

Prime Arnie wrecks him imo

I think that's the general contention, but frankly I think Arnold had symmetry problems. His biceps, for one, did not look alike and every time I see pics of him that sticks out to me.

That doesn't mean Arnold wasn't awesome. He obviously was. But he wasn't this flawless specimen like some pretend him to be.

Never heard of this guy but...

... good contender but he's not close to Arnie's level.

first off, no homo. The only addition I have for this thread is i think bodybuilders with extreme vascularity are disgusting looking.

Out of curiosity, why specifically would you say Arnold was better? Just because he was more massive?

In my opinion, Scott was better shaped. Frankly, in that second pic you posted Arnold doesn't even look that good. He looks like some misshapen oaf.

Speak for yourself.

Are you putting Scott in that category or are you making a statement on today's drug monsters?

I like Serge but I wouldn't say he's better than Scott.

Met Larry in Hawaii many years ago. His guns were still impressive.

Who needs women when you have studs like Larry Scott?

Does he live in Utah?

scott was considered to have a fantastic physique at the time.
so was steve reeves, vince gironda and harold poole also thought to possess awesome figures.

they were the precursors and in many cases the inspiration for another generation of bodybuilders to emerge and evolve.

In fact he did, until his death three years ago. RIP.
