Competitive Bodybuilders

Well-muscled and well-proportioned and well-toned is very attractive. Over-done is unattractive. Visible evidence of steroid abuse is disgusting (usually huge bulging veins where veins should not even be visible...)

Couldn't agree more.
If I had to find an attractive build among bodybuilders, I think I would back at the 1950s pack, who still looked human.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the early 1970s, was already far too big, imho, and he's dwarfed by today's top bodybuilders, who have started to resemble cartoon superheroes.
Also, I don't like evidence that someone's life is all about their body, and nothing else. Obsession is never attractive.
 
Aorta-sized blood vessels just do not naturally appear on the biceps or abdomen of healthy humans. When you see those, it is almost always evidence of anabolic steroid abuse. Imagine what his real aorta and vena cava look like...

It's a little unnerving to see someone who looks like he might explode any moment.
 
Nobody has brought up Steve Reeves. He died a few years ago, but he was supposed to be huge, not to mention very good looking!
