Compare his front shot to Munzer's and Strebl's front shot. Think again. It's not even close. As Nick said, that dude is only on there bc of that one freaky ass back shot.
Diogo Gambini Let's be honest, zyzz didn't have good legs, his back was ridiculous and he even used drug for condition you can achieve naturally. And don't forget he didn't have muscle mass and his separation was ridiculous.
Hey, Alessandro Galli is Italian like me! He's 48 now and still shredded... respect. ps the name 'Alessandro' is pronounced as written, with a 's', not like Spanish Alejandro
Shredded to the bone but let's see them do some cardio like running a 5k in 25 mins or working a 50 hour week at a blue collar job-- I agree, I DOUBT they are healthy specimens internally
Great video. Alessandro is incredible. Never even heard of him. You can find the autopsy report somewhere online of Munzer. He had lots of bad stuff in his body and died right after a contest he was in.
Extremely impressive how conditioned these athletes are. Personally at the point where my glutes start looking like huge raisins I'd stop cutting for reasons of aesthetics, but nonetheless you have to be crazy dedicated to pull that look off in the first place.
Zane is all about 'presenting big'. He had said that when you're up on stage, judges don't have a tape measure. It's the presentation. His proportions were flawless, along with condition. And so on stage, he was absolutely shredded, he has a back that was very wide in comparison to his waist, and solid quads that looked bigger in comparison to his waist. So not only did he present bigger than guys like Mentzer, who was big and solid, but blocky, he was better conditioned.
Buddy....you absolutely nailed it! Starting with 3 of my favourite bodybuilders (Frank Zane, Helmut Strebl and Andreas Munzer) to the surprising addition of Rich Gaspari, which I have to say I agree with. Thanks for the video.
Correction he didn’t die from diuretics.... from cytadren use which lowered his white blood count and when he had the stomach ulcer his body couldn’t stop the bleeding ... hence he died from internal bleeding! This is well documented!
Nick, I don’t know how I ended up on your videos, because I don’t like bodybuilding, especially not the way these Mr Olympia’s look nowadays, but your content is so good that now I always watch man. Great job.
great clips and love your vids... this is a great list... i might also runner-up suggest Bob Paris, Flex Wheeler maybe Franco???, Robby Robinson, Serge Nubret...
Mad respect for Munzer. PEDs were not the only thing he took to the extreme. The physique he achieved is also the result of years of very hard training and extremely strict dieting.
Always great videos on lost and forgotten strangth and forgotten talent that should have came in better or a loss a tittle because of fame and popularity always good keepem come 💪💪
Great list !!! #3 & Andreas are just crazy insane shredded. No skin like a live anatomy chart. It can't be good for your health but I admire them taking it that far.
I can give you a story on munzer. I went to train in his gym in austria and he had tons of empty blisters of various stuff in the trash can. He told me all that matterd to him was being ripped 365 days of the year. He was a very good guy!
Andreas... I feel like he was robbed a little, at least some better placings even if you don't think he should have a few first places finishes. The shred for that size was incredible. He had some insanely low fat % for a pro. It's a shame because that shape and shred today would put a lot of these top place finisher a run at the olympia... You just don't see sharpness like that anymore
Mike O'Hare is the phony as well I hate to call him a bodybuilder on Earth trying to tell everybody he's not on roids have some guts and tell everybody what you're really on
I trained at the same Highland Park, NJ gym as Gaspari did back in the late 70's, early 80's. Even back then, Rich's veins had veins. He was freakishly striated, not to mention incredibly strong and nice guy to boot.
Great video! Have you seen the pics of Helmut's shredded shoulders (so many striations and cross-striations) and neck? The last one is something I have never seen before. Btw, at 03:52....is this the absolute hardest muscles can look?
bodybuilders most vulnerable to a paper cut
Lol
I'm you first comment and you have 244 likes
Mahmud Alhit you were the 2nd one
#2 is insane. He misses one meal and he dies lmao
Lucio Castro I know him personally. Trains at my gym & is natty (natural)
😂😂😂😂
he must have been no 1
hes worlds most shredded man
Lucio Castro. Well I guess it's a good thing he eats a lot of food then, the right stuff anyway.
Something in the water? Don't think they drink any water at all considering how conditioned they come in.
Dude number 3 is by far the freakiest on this list
I know right? Hes growing alien in his glutes!
Compare his front shot to Munzer's and Strebl's front shot. Think again. It's not even close. As Nick said, that dude is only on there bc of that one freaky ass back shot.
He's also very symmetrical, the other guys are so lean you can see asymmetries.
His glutes look like a pumpkin
the picture of his back it looks like he has a giant dick on his back his ass mucles being the balls jesus christ I'm dying here
Awesome... I'd honestly rather have the physique of any one of these guys than the mass Monsters of today.....
joseph abrams ,lokk.jo
M
Why ?
Lithuanian Potato next to that i dont think its pretty. Its far from attractive.
These physiques are also even deadlier than the ones of the mass monsters.
says almost everyone
I still consider Frank zain to be the king of Aesthetics... thats how you're supposed to look...
Adnan sharique That title belongs to Zyzz
Diogo Gambini im a zyzz fan but frank zanes aesthetics is unbeatable
Diogo Gambini Let's be honest, zyzz didn't have good legs, his back was ridiculous and he even used drug for condition you can achieve naturally.
And don't forget he didn't have muscle mass and his separation was ridiculous.
Adnan sharique I totally agree...
Adnan sharique serge nubret was a bigger and better version of zane (saying about aesthetics)
I still think Helmut Strebl was and is the most shredded human being that has ever existed and should be number 1 on this list.
Yes, but hé is little
Worked with Helmut.. nice guy.
@@tomspice73 Little? Says the 120lb skinny fat nerd
Totally agree
Hey, Alessandro Galli is Italian like me! He's 48 now and still shredded... respect. ps the name 'Alessandro' is pronounced as written, with a 's', not like Spanish Alejandro
luckyluckydog123 Oh finalmente qualcuno glielo ha fatto notare 😂
Volevo scriverlo anche io...
@@SamueleNetwork altri italiani!
Haha I was wondering why he pronounced it like that.
Italiani siii
1:48 why are his traps literally detaching lol
Nicks tops and fives
This list is epic and the dude in the thumbnail is nuts
Not usually a fan of top 5 lists but this was a pretty interesting one man good job
excluding number one on the list.
I wonder what condition their hearts and kidneys are in.
Shredded to the bone but let's see them do some cardio like running a 5k in 25 mins or working a 50 hour week at a blue collar job-- I agree, I DOUBT they are healthy specimens internally
Where is Big Lenny at?
Jacob Marquez I'm waiting for Jason blaha
I'm just waiting for him to get 700 lbs ripped.
Yeah Blohino and his not bald relatively narrow hips needs to be on here too.
It sick it piss
...because of the anabolic window he is eating some burgers and fries!
Helmut Strebl is like looking at those skinless anatomy in anatomy books
Great video. Alessandro is incredible. Never even heard of him. You can find the autopsy report somewhere online of Munzer. He had lots of bad stuff in his body and died right after a contest he was in.
Helmut Strebl reminds me of a cadaver from A&P.
Extremely impressive how conditioned these athletes are. Personally at the point where my glutes start looking like huge raisins I'd stop cutting for reasons of aesthetics, but nonetheless you have to be crazy dedicated to pull that look off in the first place.
God damn it, some of Gunther von Hagens' plastinations came back to life! It is almost like an early Romero or Jackson movie.
home run nick!!! one of your best yet!!! love it
Frank Zane makes EVERY Top List ... GOAT !!!
Zane is all about 'presenting big'. He had said that when you're up on stage, judges don't have a tape measure. It's the presentation. His proportions were flawless, along with condition. And so on stage, he was absolutely shredded, he has a back that was very wide in comparison to his waist, and solid quads that looked bigger in comparison to his waist.

Where is brad castleberry
HA
Lol thats funny
Buddy....you absolutely nailed it! Starting with 3 of my favourite bodybuilders (Frank Zane, Helmut Strebl and Andreas Munzer) to the surprising addition of Rich Gaspari, which I have to say I agree with. Thanks for the video.
Wow! #2 - Helmut Strebl looks like a living anatomy chart. You don't see Mr Olympia competitors that ripped these days.
Correction he didn’t die from diuretics.... from cytadren use which lowered his white blood count and when he had the stomach ulcer his body couldn’t stop the bleeding ... hence he died from internal bleeding! This is well documented!
Yates!
Nick, I don’t know how I ended up on your videos, because I don’t like bodybuilding, especially not the way these Mr Olympia’s look nowadays, but your content is so good that now I always watch man. Great job.
The glutes look like raisins haha
Stoked you made this video
Guys 3 and up are more shredded than a cadaver
*Nicks Strength and Honorable Mentions*
"most be something in the Austriac water" that was the line of the video ahaha
I’ve been importing the water from Austria for 3 years, secret to my natty gains. You exposed my secrets Nick
Ben Stiller coming in at #2 👏👏👏
great clips and love your vids... this is a great list... i might also runner-up suggest Bob Paris, Flex Wheeler maybe Franco???, Robby Robinson, Serge Nubret...
Thoughts on Jeff Cavalier Athlean X physiques?
Jasper Tan Needs to work on the width and thickness of his chest.
Always good to see pictures of Frank Zane, I think he’s the best of the best....
Frank Zane will always be the true Olympian, the true aesthetic guy.
That's how you're supposed to look, not those trash freaks of today.
What about arnold and colombo
Besides the great content as always, mate your channel us growing by 1,000's a day! Congrats!!!
When are you going to do videos on The ms. Olympia winners?
Mad respect for Munzer. PEDs were not the only thing he took to the extreme. The physique he achieved is also the result of years of very hard training and extremely strict dieting.
Frank Zane deserves a picture on my wall
Always great videos on lost and forgotten strangth and forgotten talent that should have came in better or a loss a tittle because of fame and popularity always good keepem come 💪💪
You should Look Up bro Sep. Hes a Natural Bodybuilder and also INSANELY shredded
There is about 0% chance he is natty
I agree but id have to include Clarence Bass of the Ripped series of books in the mix. Lowest bodyfat clinically measured. Good vid.
Where’s Jason Genova on this list? He looked pretty freaky at the 2013 ruby classic.
It piss
Great list !!! #3 & Andreas are just crazy insane shredded. No skin like a live anatomy chart. It can't be good for your health but I admire them taking it that far.
Clarence Bass?
Luch I was going to post the same comment
5:19 Holy cow, coming in that shredded at 234-240; he was only 5'8".
I can give you a story on munzer. I went to train in his gym in austria and he had tons of empty blisters of various stuff in the trash can. He told me all that matterd to him was being ripped 365 days of the year. He was a very good guy!
1:28 we call that Walnut butt
Waiting for Vince Mcmahon to chime in on this video lol
Helmut Strebl looks like an illustration in a biology book. Like a plastic or wax statue.
Jason Genova??
Nick- CLARENCE BASS!
All of these examples are why guys and especially gals think “gross” when they think of bodybuilding
I would wanna look like Strebl
Great list! Thanks for this video!
Andreas... I feel like he was robbed a little, at least some better placings even if you don't think he should have a few first places finishes. The shred for that size was incredible. He had some insanely low fat % for a pro. It's a shame because that shape and shred today would put a lot of these top place finisher a run at the olympia... You just don't see sharpness like that anymore
Nick's Strength and Signing out, Power.
Imagine having sex while in this condition.
Just a quick thing; Alessandro is Italian, not Spanish. It's "A-leh-ss (hard S, like the c in cent) - an - dro" Love your content, fan from Italy!
5:54 superior genes 😂
Zane could be #4. Love Frank Zane! Great video.
Mike O Hearn is number 1 in any and all categories
Riaz Fabian and he does it fully natty vegan and with only water fasting
Mike O'Hare is the phony as well I hate to call him a bodybuilder on Earth trying to tell everybody he's not on roids have some guts and tell everybody what you're really on
I agree #3 was insane!
ALRIGHT WHATS GOING ON YOU GUYS
Agree Andreas legs are just incredible for that conditioning
Alessandro Galli is Italian, not spanish
The intro (Nick here with Nick's Strength and Power) used to always annoy me, but now I actually kind of look forward to it.
You missed the tom platz of abs baby
Hillary Clinton's Clit who do you mean? zyzz?
Bro your name is classic HAHAHAHA
Never heard of her
@@Carl-Johnson-CJ-GS Big lenny...search Delray Misfits channel on YT... freakiest abs on a human ever IMO
You went deep on this one brother... great video
It's AleSSandro Galli, not Alejandro, he is ITALIAN
Americans are ignorant
@@riccardolaporta7084 you're a dumbass

4:14 ripped face is more impressive than a ripped jaw!
Nick's striation and lines.
Austrian genes man. Austrian genes.
Nick strength and shredds brah
Where’s Vince
Perfect list Nick 👌 Good Job
"Shedded?"
I trained at the same Highland Park, NJ gym as Gaspari did back in the late 70's, early 80's. Even back then, Rich's veins had veins. He was freakishly striated, not to mention incredibly strong and nice guy to boot.
2:52 what about calves 🤣
Yikes!
Good video dude, once again.
#3 glutes r goals
pecdude what does glutes mean?
Heema Galab Butt muscle
Heema Galab ass
glutes are butt
cringe overload
GREAT - Conditioning that´s what I love in Bodybuilding. Might should add Roman Fritz as he´s all year shredded.
*Shredded=Helmut*
Hands up for Galli had the honor to train next to him absolutely fantastic guy!!!
It’s Alessandro not Alejandro 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Great vid Nick.
3:00 he definitely used buns of steel
Great video! Have you seen the pics of Helmut's shredded shoulders (so many striations and cross-striations) and neck? The last one is something I have never seen before.
Btw, at 03:52....is this the absolute hardest muscles can look?
Where's Cedric McMillan?? Lord knows he's always shredded to the max
when that #4 guy sits down he leaves grill marks
Look at my muscles! Big round full and most of all protuding muscle bellies 😏😏 Mr O 2018 😎
Thanks Nick enjoyed the video a lot.
I was number 2000 to like your Video. And its Hitlers Birthday today. So a pretty awesome day i guess.
420 is Hitler's bd
And Andreas has maintained that conditioning for years
Kenneth Smith too true. You can't get more ripped than dead...
Great video! It's crazy how low their body fat is....wonder if they maintain that year round or if that's even possible.
Old school entry: Pierre van den Steen of Belgium, a very short guy who was the most ripped competitive bodybuilder going in the 60s.
