Fans Dub 62-YO Bodybuilding Legend “Best Posers in Bodybuilding History” After Resurfaced Picture Goes Viral

The 62-year-old former pro bodybuilder Lee Labrada’s name came among the few highly reputed and well-known bodybuilders who never won a Mr. Olympia. Labrada was in the top four for seven consecutive times in the Mr. Olympia and won the Mr. Universe title in 1985.

Recently, a resurfaced picture from a 1990s magazine is taking the internet by storm. The image was posted on Lee Labrada’s official Instagram account and gives his fans nostalgia by displaying his timeless physique. Fans showered the comment section with love for their favorite 80s bodybuilder.

The secret behind clicking such a picture

The resurfaced picture was taken for the 90s magazine Iron Man. The picture displayed Labrada’s exceptionally well-built physique. His physique was symmetrical, and veins were easily noticeable throughout his physique, complementing his pose and highlighting his paper-thin skin. The separation lines on his chest were easily noticeable. Labrada’s lats were widely spread, looking like his wings that he might take off. His abs added more details to his physique. Labrada’s biceps made his physique look symmetrical and aesthetic.

The former Mr. Universe shared the secret behind his iconic image and said, “It begins with the presentation of your physique—displaying it with a confidence that shines through and a grace that holds the gaze… Understanding your body from every angle, understanding how the interplay of light and angles will enhance each pose, and realizing that even the smallest adjustments can significantly elevate the final image.“

He further talked about how difficult it is to bring balance to your physique. He wrote, “Achieving balance and harmony in your physique is not easy, but as you do, you’re truly mastering the art of bodybuilding posing.” His fans drew attention to his age-defying physique as well as his exceptional posing abilities in the comment section.
