Arnold had a great upper body. But he was really lacking in the legs department.

Some physiques I think are better than Arnold's was are:

Flex Wheeler
Ronnie Coleman
Kevin Levrone

Mr Synthol isn't freaky, and he has no muscles, it is oil...

Synthol freaks are the worst kind...

[edit] oh christ, i read the interview, sure, injecting the amounts of propienate THAT would take would kill a 1000 pound cow, but works for him... yeah... right... *shakes head*

Yeah, this guy curls like 400+ lbs for reps! No wonder people hate him: "Dude, when you're done with the bench, leave the weights... i've got some curls to do."

Yeah he's a freak... some people have just lost it when it comes to their self-image.

No he does not, he curls like 200+ for reps, just like the rest of us, the difference is that our muscles don't hang off our bodies like his does, because we have muscles, he's got oil...

There is not ONE real bodybuilder out there who does not despise that man...

I'd say that's a matter of opinion. Yes, I'd say he's a dumbfvck, but with half the bodybuilding world using steroids as it's done, they're no better than him...he's just gone over the general limits.

I thought he had implants until I read the interview, thats just freaking insane.
Click to expand...

He's known as Mr Synthol, it's because he injects Synthol into his muscles, that interview is BS, he's not even a heavy user of the juice, but still, wow, some muscles grew, considering that his legs should be twice the size of his arms, this guy should not be able to walk if what he was saying was true...

He's just a Synthol freak, just like Sarcev and the other idiots...

There is a difference between using roids and getting big muscles and inflating your muscles with oil...

Gaining muscle mass is one thing, gaining oil mass is another...

He is an idiot, and that inteview is a big lie... it's a piece that made TC an idiot in more than my eyes...

I just love how he states "it was steroids" considering how many mg's of roids ronnie has taken in his glutes, the guy should have glutes like a freight train...

The thing is, all steroid oils, (enanthate, propionate, decanoate) are well absorbed, YOU CANNOT BUILD MASS SPECIFICALLY WHERE YOU INJECT! (there was a steroid many years ago called esiclene, it could be injected in any bodypart and make it grow from inflammation, so yes, there is one steroid that can do this, but the effect goes away after one day)

If his story was true, nobody could inject anything anywhere because it would make that bodypart bigger... come on... even an idiot can see that that is pure BS... injecting steroids into his arms and delts, even rear dealts would do nothing but be absorbed by the body....

Why TC allowed this is a mystery to me...

I have to agree Lee Haney Height: 5'11" Weight: 245 lbs was just totalee awesome! ( i've only seen his pose series on video) He had perhaps the best body symmetry in the bodybuilding world.

I've studied the history of bodybuilding.

Among professional bodybuilders, Arnold was the *first* to truly dominate that world with his trailblazing "wisdom" of how to create that type of body. Of course, Joe Weider was his most valuable mentor, so many props have to go to him.

Today, there are many bodybuilders that have newer techniques and supplements that allow them to meet the *newer* standards set forth in the Mr. Olympia contest. Today, most contests want their champions to be *ripped*. Arnold was never ripped like that, but was holistically big and *met* the standards of the day in the Mr. Olympia contest.

So can you match a ripped Lee Haney against a big Arnold?

No one can say for sure as different times call for different contest builds..........Most people guess that if Arnold had to compete today, he most likely would *adapt* to today's standards and be an exceptional competitor due to his work ethic and contest smarts.

The only consensus that can be reached is that Arnold was highly admired by colleagues in his day. And today, he is revered for his work ethic and achieving his dreams of coming to America and *making* it in spades in every industry he's touched. He even married a Kennedy! Not bad for an Austrian immigrant.



P.S. Remember that bodybuilders use steroids and Arnold was notorious for taking larger dangerous amounts than any bodybuilder dared to. This allowed him to succeed, but it still takes *lots* of work to get to that champion-level regardless of supplement. Hopefully, his body won't take it hard on him later in life.

If it were true more men than just body builders would be injecting themselves ;)

Yeah, I know, technically its not a muscle...
