But in the end, what Arnold now says is pretty much irrelevant. The guys now are working just as hard, if not harder as they were back in Arnold's "day". I like Arnold, but he should stick to politics now.
30 years from now will Ronnie's opinion be irrelevant?
Arnold is a 7 time Mr. Olympia and the most popular bodybuilder ever. I'd say his opinion is relevant.
Yes, it will be irrelevant. Things change and staying the same means that whatever it is, dies. When someone is far removed from something, their opinions become irrelevant the farther away they get. Yeah, he has his competition and does his appearances, but he's not anywhere near as involved as before. This is because of his political career, he can't be associated with a "drug sport" (as most people see it).
I would have to disagree regarding Arnold and agree regarding Ronnie. Arnold built this sport on his own two shoulders. His opinion will always be relevant. He's still an ambassador to the sport. You ask the average person on the street they'll know who Arnold is. You ask them who Phil Heath is and you'll get a blank stare.
Not to mention when he became governor he was appointed the executive editor of both Flex and Muscle and Fitness and received large donations from them for his consecutive runs. So his involvement in politics really didn't affect his bodybuilding connection. If anything it strengthened them.
Arnold is a douchebag....
that's ^ like heresy to me! lol.
why would you think he is a douche? dude has done more than prob all of us to try to get this nation fit and a pretty good example of what a "dumb muscle head" can accomplish....
I believe he is worth more in real estate than movie money. his work ethic is nothing but inspirational imo.
