Hey guys.... So I'm sitting on the can reading ...arnold thr education of a bodybuilder... And have to admit it really blows.... I rather spend time on this site as well as others all day long and learn a million times more than read this book.....
and another thing that I'm going to get blasted for is....I don't really get what the big deal is about hin...I have to admit I was on the band wagon for a while but I just don't see what was soooo incedible about him... He was talll had big arms and a big chest..... Imo his legs throw off his look badly.... That's me...he had no forearms his delts were ok at best and with a long neck his traps looked weird to me..... When he hit back double bi pose I was really impressed until the legs.... I was watching a vid of arnold...I forgot which one and mike metzner was in the backround doing leg extensions and made arnolds legs look like he never trained them ever.... It may seem like I'm hating and maybe I am a little ...I give him all the respect in the world to do what he's done throught

......Through his carrer and I respect him as an individual I just believe he had the will power the buisness smarts to market himself as the bestt I really don't think that he was a god that people make him out to be.....don't hate me for this thread I just am stating my opinions from what I see

Never cared much for his physique at all but what he did do was really help mainstream bodybuilding in a sense and I respect him alot for that.

Yeah we've seen many people after him with better physiques and training strategies. But what he did for bodybuilding in America and the world was tremendous. That is why we put him up there with the greats and he deserves to be. I don't think it's bashing or criticising what your saying it's just a new day and age where bb has evolved and grown from where it was. I kind of think of it like computers or game systems. Remember the Atari or Commador 67? They are still great but have since been improved upon.
