This killed me. A lot of good gif responses in this thread.
 
I approve of this thread...80s/90s muscle action movie/wrestling stars formed my early same-sex attraction...in fact, watching Rocky IV is the earliest memory I can trace it back to.

Can't choose though...Sly's sinewy brawler meatiness and JCVD's aesthetics, sculpted hind parts and flexibility, each satisfy a segment of the spectrum
 
They all were on roids, come on. I bet even my childhood hero Michael Jordan was on something as well. No doubt Lebron is on HGH.

HGH does nothing. Who cares if a dude wants to look more ripped at the expense of being more injury prone with no other benefits?
 
I always was more of a Bruce Lee type of guy...but to answer your question:

Never liked Stallone..so JVD wins by default.

well time to hit the gym, thanks for the motivation

don't forget to take roids.

I seriously have an issue with people adoring guys that are known juicers.

I mean yeah Stallone still looks kinda good (I rather see people age gracefully than that but still..). Thanks to tons of half illegal supplements and plastic surgery.
 
Stallone was the biggest star but Van Damme was actually an athlete.
But you know, we're arguing about those two because at the time, we didn't know about Jackie Chan who was a bigger start and was a better athlete than both!
 
Stallone's transformation from a soft, average looking dude in Rocky to getting fucking ripped in Rocky 3 was inspirational.
 
"That's what I was trying to avoid. A conversation about body mass, okay? We've had that conversation five times a day for the last month because we keep watching Predator and all you talk about is Weathers and Jesse "The Body" Ventura and how many pounds they can pack on."

Well in the Rambo 2 commentary, it was mentioned Stallone was at 185 lbs at probably 5'8.5 during filming but the body fat was crazy low....

Van Damme was obviously more flexible but I'd give the physique edge slightly to Stallone. I'd imagine it was harder to maintain at his height than jean Claude at 5'10.
 
Van Damme!!!
Not only he had and has a close to perfect body, he can actually use it and still does, while Stallone already needs crutches just to stand! ;)
