Out of all of those Frank Zane looks the most "functional" and aesthetically pleasing to me

And then you have Rich Gaspari



Who most people will say did the best with his genetics.  A profile and info is here:

Gaspari, Rich

He never go to the very top, but is still considered a legend.  His training was as intense as anyones as witnessed by the ultimate legend Lee Haney:

Seeing as I'm a big fan of his stuff I'll throw in Tom Venuto

                                                                               

This is more of a look I'd aspire to

Yes Venuto and Zane look pretty awesome.

Greasing and tanning is bodybuilding is plain weird. I'm sure it brings out the contours and muscle shapes more but it's still weird and can ruin the aesthetic imo

Zane was all about the look/balance, not the mass.  He would only train certain areas rarely in order to stop them getting too big and spoiling symmetry and/or balance etc.  But most of all he kept it simple.

I disagree

Tanned body   pale face...adds another weird factor.
