Objectively, I think Phil is an easy shoo in for the top 5 because his shoulders were huge, round, and separated, and they look good from any angle. But I agree Phil will be on here for many other body parts
Sohan Saha this is where bodybuilding gets interesting. In isolation, Phil has great looking AND BIG shoulders, but if I’m looking at him on stage I’m rarely ever looking at them apart from his RDB. Kind of like Ronnie’s shoulders in that they’re great and you really notice them if you crop the rest of him out, but you leave the whole physique in the frame and they just get lost in the mix and don’t really reappear unless you go down the list and do a body part by body part analysis on him. In contrast, with a guy like Kevin it’s like SHOULDERS immediately even as he’s just waltzing onto the stage.
Levrone had the sickest delts AND triceps. Even when he came off the roids (mostly) after 2003, his "natural" body had such a beautiful and impressive structure for his delts/triceps/biceps.
If he ever actually arrived in shape, he'd be a lot smaller. I hate it when people compare his weight to Ronnie coleman's weight, because ronnie was so much more shredded.
The synthol comments about nasser reminded me of something: i like hadi Choopan but I think his shoulders look a little off too, like he may have some synthol in there
@@alemarioluiginator no it fucking isn’t!!! Hadi and most pros have small amounts of synthol or hylaurinic acid in a bunch of sites. Just look at Hadis shoulders last Olympia compared to year before. He looks the worst in training vids during off season. Him and Justin Rodriguez are the most obvious among the elite right now.
5:31 that split between his upper and lower pecs is amazing I’ve never seen separation so pronounced in someone’s chest. Awesome conditioning on this guy.
Hear me out - Levrone’s shoulders (on their own) don’t blow me away. If I see him relaxed next to other guys - they don’t blow me away….. then the fucking guy poses - and the delts just stand out in every pose. Front double side chest rear poses most muscular - Kev’s shoulders stand out in every single pose he hits. Absolutely phenomenal
I think one big reason Levrone was so great all around was he was one of less than a hand full of BB'rs that were Herculean & Apollonian at the same time. Great addition adding Roland C. in there. Wow, Some amazing delts with a lot of detail!
Totally agree man. I noticed over the years that guys started having giant standout delt’s instead of biceps and tri’s. Shoulders are cool but there’s nothing like a big set of arms. The big shoulders make huge arms look much smaller than they really are.
@Southside Kettlebell Totally valid! Aesthetics are subjective but it's undeniable that you can't be a decent mass-monster without freakishly huge delts. And for people with narrow frames (like me) who want to look wider there's no 50 ways to do that: you have to bulk your shoulder girdle up
@@MeesterJ Depends on the legend. You had plenty of guys who had insanely oversized bis and long heads of the triceps with decent chests and shoulders.
I simply want to say thanks my friend, a brilliantly put together video with excellent honest commentary. Love your channel and I eagerly await the next installments. Thank you from Belfast N Ireland
Tom ur video is good, I just feel like u can't leave Phil out when him and levrone look exactly the same in most poses and they the only ones with the 3d factor to their shoulders
Tom can you make a video on the top legendary bodybuilding photographs, just got back from Valutainments Flex Wheeler interview and that black and white photo of Flex is just perfect 💪
RIP Dallas McCarver. He’s smoking the current Mr.O in the shot which leads me to believe that had Dallas survived, he would of been our current and most likely the youngest Mr. Olympia of all time. Sad he never got a chance to live that out. Rest In Peace brother....
@Baldur I don't like what I am saying, but it is a harsh truth - he died due to his own stupidity. He prioritized drugs over training, his dosages were insane, you could see that from how much his face was swollen with water retention and how insanely huge his shoulders were while being so young. Maybe if he wasn't as oblivious, he would have still lived and maybe eventually became a Mr.O.
I feel like many BBer’s have “invisible” shoulders that just like you said “get lost in the shuffle” because there’s so much else the eyes are drawn to; many times it feels like shoulders are just an anatomical necessity, a ball and socket joint and nothing else. They can seem more like “shoulders” than “deltoids”, a three headed muscle group. Good DELTS pop out like a good pair of biceps - they’re showy and proud and demanding of your attention. Wolf, Ruhl, Roelly, and Levrone really epitomize this type of delt development and I’m glad you included them here. Delts - NOT THE OVERALL SHOULDER GIRDLE - receive too little attention and it’s because most of the time they just blend in and “looks like it should be there” like the scapulas.
It’s really cool how you got Arnie to guest at the end of every video. You must have some serious pull in the bodybuilding industry. ;) New to the channel, been binge watching since I found it.
Hi Tom, im one of your fan. You videos have always provided top quality content and i always appreciate your hard work put in each videos. I have one suggestion that you should cover “the most complete bodybuilders” count down from 10 (or how many as depending on your opinion). I have searched the youtube and it has already “the most aesthetic which mainly is about the overall shape” “the biggest - mainly about size” “the greatest - about their impact and achievements”. What i mean by the most complete is i think this will be a suitable sequel after the series of body parts to see who have the most complete physics which mean have all the strong body parts. For example big ron is great in every body part but for his mid section, calves and triceps or phil is not known for his mid section and narrow structure. What i mean is that a bodybuilder that have no or least weak body parts and it should come in size, shape, developments, aesthetics, should to waist ratio, .... i had this idea in mind for a quite long time but my resource, time and knowledge wont let me do this topic perfectly and i think you are the one who is best suit for this one. Hope my comment and idea catch your attention. Many thanks!!!
How phil isn’t on there baffles me, when I first thought of best shoulders I thought of markus and Phil and for him to not be top 10 with how 3D they look is crazy
3:20 - Holy shit, this dude must have absolutely crushed it with the ladies in that kinda shape... That has got to be one of the most aesthetic male bodies I've ever seen. Dude, you couldn't even make a Ken doll or GI Joe with a more appealing and sculpted male muscular form. and 11:29 is just crazy badass.
You know when I saw Nasser is 3rd then I immediately thought that either Markus or Phil or Kevin didn't make the list. Then I thought it will be a tie between Kevin and Phil. I must say, not including Phil onto this list is quite interesting, to say the least. Although I see the points you've made regarding that choice but I don't agree: if a certain bodybuilder has like 5 top 3 bodyparts in history (Phil is a good contender for bi, tri, forearms, delts and traps or hams lets say) then he is just that good. No need to level the playing field artificially by saying that he'll have his time to shine, unless there's a rule that every bodybuilder may enter with only their best bodypart. It is what it is: some guys out there are/were just too good for the rest, it's not even fair. Other than that, this is a pretty neat list. I guess Juan Morel could have been mentioned with Kuclo and Lenartowitz as he has boulder shoulders and thus he is pretty epic in the hands clasped, but I'm fine with this list. Waiting for the rest and I hope there's at least one PS expert among your 40k+ subs who will eventually make a Frankenstein-monster out of the chosen bodyparts :)
Good choice for # 1. Kevin hands above the rest. Also very good research in mentioning Newman who had awesome delts and if not 4 cancer wouldve been a sure Mr. O.
That pic of a teenaged Kevin is proof of the fact that genetics play the most important role (apart from hard work) when it comes to peak potential in bodybuilding. So many folks think that simply using gear will give them Arnold's chest, Platz's wheels, or Roelly’s arms. That's not how it works. Gear will certainly help you if you work hard, but it will only take you so far.
Bodybuilding is 99% about genetic and profesionnal steroids cycle (that what the best coach in BB are known for and paid for, they are chimecist nnot actual trainers) the remainging 1 % is food and trainign, bjt i can guarantee you when you watch all these motivation type videps and everyone says food is number one blabla it's pure bs. Ronnie coleman with a basic cucle and ez training would still be top 5 pf all time no prob, the additionnnal work ethic won him the number one spot but genetics matters more than anything, you will never beat someone more gifted than you period. Just take a look at phil heath, until he ruined his mid section he was winning everything without giving a dman in the gym and probably dieting no more than 3 months before the show
Hey, Tom! When you are done with this series, maybe take into consideration a few topic ideas if you have not done them already. -Top bodybuilders in 70s, 80s, 90s,2000s, 2010s and a follow-up video of them competing against each other -Top underrated bodybuilders -Virtual showdown of all Olympia winners and Arnold Classic winners (I know there are a lot but hey...) and a follow-up video of them competing against each other -Top underrated bodybuilders -Best posers -Best ambassadors -Top unfortunate retirements -Virtual showdown and top 10 >could have been bodybuilders< from other sports (boxing, wwe, powerlifting) -Top bodybuilders (regardless if they still compete or not) in their best shape that are over 50 years -Top men`s open bodybuilders under 212 pounds -Top Master`s Olympia winners and showdown against each other -Top overrated bodybuilders -Top untouched full potentials -The direction the sport is going in Thank you for the quality content. Greetings from Romania!
Tominator, you make top notch videos! i would like to see one where you only use contest pics tho, because a lot of gym/photoshoot/selfie photos are not very flattering to the athletes, due to no tan, no pump, bad lighting, etc...anyways, well done once again!
Thanks! I'd say that contest photos are the least flattering though usually because guys often sacrifice fullness to come in more conditioned, only to be washed out by the bright lights
I think I’d switch 1 and 2. I wouldn’t say Ruhl’s are prettier but my god they’re undeniable haha. Was surprised by a few other guys that got left out but I really enjoyed this list
I would have had Nasser a bit lower on the list but honestly gotta say its hard to argue with this list, Im reallying looking forward to the future top 10s!
Yeah I know he probably warrants a spot. But everybody already knows how great Phil is. Not too many people know about Roland's or Pakulski's shoulders
Nah, that photo doesn't look like it was taken in 1977. That looks like early/mid '80s fashion to me so I'd say he was at least in his late teens when this photo was taken.
Phil should've been here... He should have been second "atleast"... He's better than Jay, Ronnie and Roelly. He's even better than Kevin in most of the mandatories from a shoulders point of view. He was robbed on this list💔 But great video
10. Ben bukowski 9. Roland cziurlock 8. Dennis wolf 7. Dallas mccarver 6. Jay cutler 5. Ronnie Coleman 4. Roelly winklaar 3. Nasser el sonbaty 2. Markus ruhl 1. Kevin levrone
One thing I’ve noticed on modern bodybuilders is that the shape of the shoulders was really lost. The way the shoulders lock on the arms with that v shape, it’s there but not as noticeable. The shoulders should look like they’re sloping down from the front delts and getting smaller all the way to the rear delts. You can notice this on golden era bodybuilders and why most people prefer “classic arms” rather than “modern arms”.
Markus is simply at a disadvantage when competing in human section.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
Yeah dude deserves award for alien division.
More plates more dates at #1
i was looking for a comment mentioning him hahahahha
lol
😂
True that lol!
Peter Csigo, and... what do you look like Peter?
Objectively, I think Phil is an easy shoo in for the top 5 because his shoulders were huge, round, and separated, and they look good from any angle. But I agree Phil will be on here for many other body parts

Agree kick Overrated jay out and put Phil
Phil Heath has the full package but his shoulders are narrow compared to the rest
fbghetto5 but even then that’s just his skeletal structure, short clavicles. The shoulder muscle itself is fine
@@fbghetto5 Kevin was narrow to.
They the type of guys to open the fridge on a full range of motion to then close it and open it with the other hand to avoid muscle imbalances
Hahahahaha, great comment bro. You deserve more likes.
That's Jeff Cavalier😂
Levrone had the sickest delts AND triceps.
Even when he came off the roids (mostly) after 2003, his "natural" body had such a beautiful and impressive structure for his delts/triceps/biceps.
Triceps yes delts no. Seth Feroce delta are FAR superior FAR!!!!!!!
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK what do you smoke
Ramy has some killer delts
yeah, he def. should have had an honorable mention here!
Harry Moorehouse have u seen his striated triceps u can’t get that without decent bod fat %
If he ever actually arrived in shape, he'd be a lot smaller. I hate it when people compare his weight to Ronnie coleman's weight, because ronnie was so much more shredded.
@@williamkelly5689 this is so dumb.
At these guys' level they barely have 2 3 lbs of fat to burn anyway.
@@harrymoorehouse4661 Yeah too watery.
I had markhus Ruhl first but great list nonetheless. Looking forward to the rest
Phill Heath truly deserved a spot here
Leverone and Phill almost look clown of each other in the hands clasped
Phill should be atleast in top 4
This is gonna be good
Levrone was 13 in the old pics
Sinen Riahi he looks like 17 there
Jeez gentic freak
I have waited for this for years
Literal years
Me too but he disappointed me
κων/νοσ φωτ not the greatest but it’s still good quality
The synthol comments about nasser reminded me of something: i like hadi Choopan but I think his shoulders look a little off too, like he may have some synthol in there
Its an optical illusion, his triceps are really underdevelop ans it makes his shoulders really stand out

5:31 that split between his upper and lower pecs is amazing I’ve never seen separation so pronounced in someone’s chest. Awesome conditioning on this guy.
Franco Columbo was the master in that area
@@elite_eight4486Came to say the same thing. Franco’s upper chest was really impressive, I think even better than the picture shown at 5:31 tbh
13:35
Even with all the massive shoulders, the highlight of this video shall remain you saying 'jif' instead of 'gif'.
Treason. Absolute treason.
It felt like such a relief when i saw kevin levrone at the end, haha i screamed yesss so loud. He is my favourite bodybuilder😊
Franco Columbo should be on the list for sure, maybe the first bodybuilder to have all three fully developed heads and his traps were also amazing.
for me, Top 1 are Phil and Kevin, shoulders 3D all day and everyday
Phil have better definition
Kevin have better size
Roelly has better delts.
Dat Nguyen man i was gonna say the same 💯
18:04 Kevin levrone looks like one of the cheerleaders from longest yard in the left picture
Hear me out - Levrone’s shoulders (on their own) don’t blow me away. If I see him relaxed next to other guys - they don’t blow me away….. then the fucking guy poses - and the delts just stand out in every pose.

I dont still agree with the 2nd place markus rühl
For me he is my number one for shoulders
the tanki gamer online quality over size. Ruhl is no. 2
Markus was shoulders. Ha.
I think one big reason Levrone was so great all around was he was one of less than a hand full of BB'rs that were Herculean & Apollonian at the same time. Great addition adding Roland C. in there. Wow, Some amazing delts with a lot of detail!
Honorable mention Dwight Howard
Countdown of the Delts! Thanks Tom
Great top. I sorta miss the golden days of overpowering biceps and triceps. The big shoulders physique doesn't look as cool to me.
Totally agree man. I noticed over the years that guys started having giant standout delt’s instead of biceps and tri’s. Shoulders are cool but there’s nothing like a big set of arms. The big shoulders make huge arms look much smaller than they really are.

Tom can you make a video on the top legendary bodybuilding photographs, just got back from Valutainments Flex Wheeler interview and that black and white photo of Flex is just perfect 💪

Arnold was and probably will be the youngest Mr.O ever, at 23 years old.
Jordan Dangelo Dallas would’ve never won an Olympia.
Zeno he was never close.. always looked too much like a smoked ham
Tim Jones yeah. I always thought he looked ok.
@Baldur I don't like what I am saying, but it is a harsh truth - he died due to his own stupidity.

To answer your question, that childhood photo of Levrone was taken at his birthday party, upon turning three.

13:18 holy thats insane
Surprised Phil wasn't a top 3 on the list. Ramy also could have been a threat to the list too. So many BB's to choose from though.
I honestly thought Phil would take 1st and Kevin would take 2nd, but good and entertaining video none the less.

Solid list! However, I was really expecting Heath and Levrone at 2 and 1, respectively
Phil should have been on the list
Considering the era he competed, I think Bertil Fox had some of the best shoulders of all time
Killer genetics
I'm not a big Phil fan but he should have been on there if Levrone is.
Everytime tom make a list, U know its going to be a good one!
Lol you called Rich Piana's shoulders lumpy lopsided blocks of beef. I agree.

Yup I've got a bunch of these on the to-do list already
Surprised that both Ron Love or Scott Wilson are missing, surely they deserve at least honourable mentions.
Can’t disagree with lervone being at number one…
Quality!
If Levrone wasn’t #1 than this list would’ve been rendered obsolete
I didn’t look the video but winner is phil 💯
Ron Love had great shoulders
Levrone was DEFINITELY #1 in the shoulder department... Great list Tomn8r

I think I’d switch 1 and 2. I wouldn’t say Ruhl’s are prettier but my god they’re undeniable haha. Was surprised by a few other guys that got left out but I really enjoyed this list
Definitely strydom should be there, as of how good they were for 80's
He was a tough cut. It almost physically pained me to him and Phil off lol
I sure hope I see juan morel on this list by the end cause his delts are huge
Markus Ruhl had the size of a Ford F650 truck. All wrapped up with the beauty and aesthetics of a Ford F650 truck.
Highly respectful and coherent list. I guess Roelly's big pecs and waste line make his delts and arms look smaller (when in fact they are huge).
Kevin has the best Shoulders because his freaky rear delts. Litterly closed there is no gaps at all.
I would have had Nasser a bit lower on the list but honestly gotta say its hard to argue with this list, Im reallying looking forward to the future top 10s!
You can't just exclude Phil , at least top six .. Not a reasonable choice at least for me

Derek is on top definitely
Another oldie to check out on UA-cam is Don Howorth, his shoulders were huge!
Holy crap. Just hit me. Pakulski looks like craig titus.
Kevin Levrone has the best delts
Great video but where is SETH FEROCE?
Man, these guys have all seen there fair share of face pulls.
Shoulders, delts, bla, bla, bla.
The question is why Kevin levronE but Sylvester stalloN ??
I'm joking, another great video Tomn8er 💪🏻 👩🏻🦲💪🏻

I have to say, Phil not being there is a bit outrageous. I also think ramy should be on this list.
One thing I’ve noticed on modern bodybuilders is that the shape of the shoulders was really lost. The way the shoulders lock on the arms with that v shape, it’s there but not as noticeable. The shoulders should look like they’re sloping down from the front delts and getting smaller all the way to the rear delts. You can notice this on golden era bodybuilders and why most people prefer “classic arms” rather than “modern arms”.
