I always thought that Bob Paris epitomized the ideal "bodybuilder" look for me, because rather than have the dried-out-peach skin that so many bodybuilders go for to get "vascularity" and rather than looking freaky big and not having proper proportions, Bob Paris looked like an artist's rendition of masculine power with grace and beauty.

@SexyHunkster2021:  Well said.  Paris reached his peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and he was widely considered to have one of the most (the most, IMO) esthetically pleasing physiques in the business.  His career was near the end of the classic age of bodybuilding, the period when the judges and fans at competitions prized the type of "power with grace and beauty" that you mentioned, which competitors like Paris and the great Frank Zane epitomized.
