old school vs new school

pic the winner.

Old school for me.

 

[Bio]

That's not fair! Just two great champions in two different era's. I would have no complaints looking like Arnold did back then in this day and age.

I know your just comparing these two, but can you imagine if Haney had gone on an open ended run until he finally lost. He retired at 32yrs old if I remember right. Dorian was hot on his tail in the end. I wish those two could have gone head to head another couple of years!

 

[wtw11171]

Yeah that is not fair at all. I must plead the 5th.

 

[MR. BMJ]

Wow, look how much longer Arnold's teardrop muscle is than Ronnie's.

Different eras, but don't think it has to be a confrontational thread on picking which you like most.

I like Arnold, especially in that pic. Arnold's legs are much smaller compared to today's standards, but are still not small either.

ronnie late 90's makes arnold look like a model not a bber imo. In the pic above arnold had better calves, and waist. Ronnie has him in everthing else...

 

[JJ-INSANE1]

Can you imagine what Arnold could have accomplished if he had the drugs Ronnie has now. Arnold was the shit and he did all that with basically d-bol and test.
I pick the king anyway... Arnold all the way.

Todays bodybuilding is way more drug vs Arnolds era of hard training and diet.

Old School! Ronnie is a human pork chop. Not that that's a bad thing, but seriously... what does he weigh in that picture? 270+? Arnold was something like 220 and 3-4 inches taller than Ronnie. 50 pounds on someone taller than you... yeah, okay.

 

[Stylz]

In fairness to Ronnie not only was that one of his least flattering poses, but it was far from his alltime best size and condition while it was clearly one of Arnolds best poses.

Here's a different perspective. Who wins?

 

[The Booger]

I still really prefer Arnold's shape and the like. Don't get me wrong, Ronnie impresses the hell out of me. I just find Arnold more.....pleasing I guess.

if that back shot of ronnie isn't digitally enhanced, then he wins it. That ass and legs is very horse-like.

 

[stunad]

I go in for the old schoolers personally. Ronnie was a big dude, and no one can take anything from him but for my tastes I prefer the physiques up to Haney.

JJ said it best !!! If Arnold had used the drugs he had today, with today doses he would be the KING, IMO ...

 

[kid1dakota]

Arnold is numero uno as he even says.Ronnie has the wow factor,but arnold looks better.

 

[Mini Monster]

Arnold wins everytime. If i could choose which look to be for myself it would be Arnolds over anyone elses, but i like to see the cartoonish freakyness.

 

[malcom young]

RC is hugh, but who is the skinny dude on the right?

 

[claymore]

If i had to choose between ronnie and arnold, i'd choose arnold, but if i could choose from any year it would early 90's. I think the guys of today are way to oily and smooth looking, those guys from the 90's were insane looking in my opinion.

 

[LEX]

well If I could pick one body to walk around in outta those pics would be Arnold...let's face it anywhere but flexing on stage ronnie coleman looks like a super fat dude...would you rather be ronnie walking down the beach or arnold? I just remember that jay lenno spot with ronnie wearing a blue swear suit....it was funny looked like a big old fat kid

 

[tbone01]

I have to go old school. It was more about training and diet. Today it seems more about drugs a little diet then more drugs. Also bodybuilding was a lot tighter back then. If you made friends you could trust them and train with them. Now everyone is out for themself and if they get pulled over for a damn speeding ticket there throwing out names,T
