Legends Update
The Scoop: Just Announced: Actor, author, and legendary IFBB Pro Serge Nubret passed away. (October 6, 1938 - April 19, 2011)
The "So What?": Born in Anse Bertrand, Guadeloupe, Serge Nubret impacted physical culture with one of the most aesthetic physiques to ever grace the bodybuilding landscape. While studying accounting, Nubret discovered bodybuilding in 1958. Shortly thereafter, Nubret won the Mr. Guadeloupe title. In 1960, he represented Guadeloupe at the IFBB World Championships in Montreal, where Nubret was crowned the "Most Muscular Man of the World."
His acting career began in Paris and spanned 60 episodes of a TV series and 25 films, including the famous bodybuilding documentary "Pumping Iron," in which Nubret competed at the 1975 Olympia against IFBB Pro Lou Ferrigno and 7-time Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger. After serving as Vice President of the Europe IFBB federation from 1970-1975, Nubret founded the WABBA federation in 1976. At his final competition, he won the 1982 WABBA World Championships.
Contest History:
1958 Mr. Guadeloupe
1960 IFBB World Most Muscular Man
1970 NABBA Mr. Universe (2nd)
1970 IFBB Mr. Europe (Tall)
1972 IFBB Mr. Olympia (3rd)
1974 IFBB Mr. Olympia (2nd)
1975 IFBB Mr. Olympia (2nd)
1976 NABBA Pro Mr. Universe
1976 WBBG Mr. World (2nd)
1977 WBBG Mr. World
1977 WBBG Mr. Olympus
1981 WABBA World Championships
1982 WABBA World Championships
Andrew Oye's Verdict: Renowned for his classic look, near-perfect build, and strict training methods, Nubret once described bodybuilding as his "reason for being." R.I.P. to a physique icon and a champion of bodybuilding's Golden Era.
