Don’t forget his legs were too small and his back was undersized lol. Wide waist to.
His back was pretty big
Dude the guys today have FAR bigger waists

can’t argue with that logic there
Thats true not every pro does but most of them do and they all have bigger waists then Arnold!
LOL thats true
Isn’t that the guy who boned Cutler’s wife while he (Cutler) let him crash at his place?

i don’t know if this is agaist the rules or not but to be honest you sound a little gay for arnold. no offense if you are cause you might be from the sounds of it but lol thats what it sounds like just by reading your first 5 posts on this thread
Arnold wouldn’t even crack the top 20 in the Olympia today. He looked good in his day but I personally think the 2003 Ronnie Coleman is the best Olympia ever.

Yeah, good thing it’s always only one guy going into a contest thinking he’s gonna win.

Ha Ha Ha!! That was good Stu.
The criteria is FAR different today.
HOWEVER, if we put todays Bodybuilders in competition back in the Golden Age than they wouldn’t crack the top 20 either!
You cant compare eras like this, it’s foolish. Each stage of bodybuilding had it’s top tier men that perfectly fit the criteria of their times, but like all things in this world, it evolved; however, the stages prior were necessary to the evolution of the sport.
One does not compare the creation of the Television with the creation of a computer. They were both seen as amazing innovations of their respectable times, but are each only a step in man’s technological prowess. So too were Arnold and Coleman to bodybuilding. Who knows what it will become further down the line when we learn even more about the body or possibly create better forms of drugs.

You mean when we master the art of genetic manipulation and genetic doping becomes possible. Starting with inhibiting myostatin. We have already done it in mice (Inhibition of myostatin in adult mice increases skeletal muscle mass and strength - PubMed).

I’m not sure if that is true. Someone like Phil Heath or a prime Kevin Levrone would do pretty well because their physiques are still pretty streamlined compared to Yates or Coleman. I don’t think there was a top 20 in Arnold’s era. I doubt there were even 10 competing at any one time.
Thats true more people are competing now, back then the contests were FAR smaller!!!
Now the contests are HUGE!!!

Yeah and the difference between the quality of the physiques for first 1st and 20th place really isn’t that much. These guys are beating each other by just a handful of points…or so it seems.

Watching oiled up, tanned men flexing their muscles in small sparkly underwear to an audience of other cheering men though… “admiring aesthetic pleasing physiques”?

I should also clarify I meant wide hips and a thick waist, not neccasirly a “roid gut”
I would say Arnold’s chest, biceps and calves are on par with the pros of today.
