first of all arnold is no where near 6'2"...he is more like 5'11" its not his size that is unreal but the shape of his muscles and the symmetry. anybody can be bigger but that doesnt mean it looks better

HOW DO YOU COMPARE? John Holmes 12 1/2". Me well not quit that big. Maybe I will try Phil's pump.

You may be right........just pulled it off this website.

There is no way that I am trying to imply that we (most of us) will ever look like Arnold. I don't even think that I suggested this....with this thread. If so, then it can be deleted.

I think you just wanted to see how people compare to arnolds size... thats all...

Well at my largest my legs were bigger then his... then again so was my waist.

He had a different look to him..

I saw a picture of him natural and he looks very scrawny so it make me think he took shit loads.

Maybe you could ask "who has bigger dimensions than Arnold but doesn't look as good as him?"

It's like all the judges at a bb'ing contest study your stats before you get on the stage - NOT. I've seen plenty of guys with huge dimensions that really don't impress me in the least (not very lean of course).

just because someone is big doesnt mean they are on a shitload of drugs...the guys in those days took very little especially compared to todays standards.

Im just saying that cause during a vacation picture of arnold while he was with weider he was very skinny... then come contest time hes 230 ripped. When I say skinny I mean like 6fett 160lbs... Ill look for it.

Unless he has crazy genics and could gain and lose 80 lbs..

Derek · Feb 27, 2004

see him here...

Derek · Feb 27, 2004

then look how big he grows... I see local people at the gym not grow that well..

So I just assumed he used more...

joshbarnett · Feb 28, 2004

i know what you mean i am just saying that he probably wasnt taking very much stuff-a big stack then was a little primo, some deca and 2 d-bol/day.

joshbarnett · Feb 28, 2004

most people at your gym dont have arnolds genetics

Arnold never once competed over 235, so I don't know where the 260 comp weight came from.

JOSH...BUD, I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT....

SURE....THE LEVEL OF DRUG USE THEN IS NO DOUBT AS BAD AS IT IS NOW...BUT, ARNOLD STARTED LIFTING AND TRAINING WITH DOCTORS....I READ HIS EDUCATION OF A BODYBUILDER...HAHAHA...BACK THEN SHIT WAS JUST HANDED OUT. I HAVE READ STORIES ABOUT SERGIO OLIVA SHAKING DBOL ON HIS BREAKFAST CEREAL. YOU MIGHT CALL BULLSHIT ON THAT BUT....THE DRUGS WERE SO CHEAP A GUY COULD AFFORD TO TAKE PLENTY. I AM A BIG ARNOLD FAN...AND IN SOME OF THOSE PICS WHERE HE IS TAKING A BREAK AND DOING OTHER THINGS.....HE DOES LOOK SKINNY! I THINK THE MAIN DIFFERENCE TODAY IS...NO ONE GOES OFF. ..WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE KEVIN LEVRONE DOES AND THE DIFFERENCE IS OBVIOUS BETWEEN ON AND OFF. I THINK YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD WITH YOUR GENETICS STATEMENT, JOSH. OBVIOUSLY ARNIE IS A RESPONDER! ARNOLD WAS A LOT MORE WELL ROUNDED AND GOAL ORIENTED THAN THE AVERAGE GYM RAT.
