I ran across this video of Lou Ferrigno competing at the Mr Olympia in 1992 after a long layoff. He looks incredible – yet he finished 12th! Dorian Yates began his phenomenal run that year, winning 6 times in a row.

Harold Poole

I added Harold Poole to the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame. I will get to the women sooner or later, but for now, it’s the men only. Admittedly, most of the members of my Hall of Fame are from the ’80s and earlier.

I want to do a series of “Best of…” each decade, say, since the ’50s all the way to the present. If you want to nominate somebody, please say so in the Comments.

"Brutal" Bertil Fox

I put up my #19 for the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame. It’s Bertil Fox. He was awesomely big, ushering in the modern-day era of “mass beats everything else.”

Unfortunately, Fox will be spending the rest of his days in a St. Kitts prison. Read more about that here.

Mohamed Makkawy

One of my favorite bodybuilders of all time is Mohamed Makkawy. Fluent in 4 languages, he tore up the IFBB pro scene in 1982 and 1983, winning more than his fair share of Grand Prix titles. Short, at 5′4″, he possessed a ruggedness and chiseled musculature that was far ahead of most of his peers.

He did his contest training with Vince Gironda, who took awesome artwork in the form of a body and turned it into a masterpiece.

For all of that, Mohamed Makkawy is #20 in Muscle-Build.com’s Hall of Fame!

I’m putting together a “Bodybuilding Hall of Fame” series on Muscle-Build.com. I’ve got the Top 20 Bodybuilders of All Time up there, but I have yet to fill in the “bios” on each. Right now, I’ve got some info for Arnold, Lou Ferrigno, and Larry Scott. Obviously, I have a lot of work to do!

I’d like help from you on two things:

1. Do you have suggestions on who else I might want to put in the BBHOF? I’ve left out a LOT of folks, and I’ve only included men. Women most definitely should be here, too!
2. Do you want to write up some bios for me on the bodybuilders you like and/or think ought to be included? I’ll put up what you write (I reserve the right not to post OR to edit as I see fit) and I’ll even put up a backlink to your site, if you have one!

Can you help me out? Comment or email me at billspaced [at] muscle-build [dot] com.
