After Watching Pumping Iron.

Re: Arnold

Arnold appeared to be cocky, but he was really just beginning to learn how to act. He simply played the part of a young cocky bodybuilder destined for greatness! Arnold's so much smarter than all those other bodybuilders and he knew it and used it as an advantage to prosper. Yeah, he had an awesome body but the real power was in his mind. He really knew what he was doing.

My take on the bodys of the 70's......they're what we should all be striving to achieve. I'd rather look like one of those guys than any of the pros today. The problem with the pros of today is drug related, not training, not diet, simply too high of doses of anabolics and all those other chemicals that they ingest. Too much! It's too bad that the most freakiest and unnatural looks are needed to compete at that level today.

Agreed.

Much of that movie was pure theater. The scene where they're studying ballet: Staged.
Lou's relationship with his dad: Staged. All the training and psyching out of opponents: Staged. Arnolds cockiness: Staged. They wanted an angle on how to present him and he figured the 'king of the hill" schtick would work. Besides, Arnold wanted attention at all costs. Ya think it worked?

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I'll repeat it. The dosages that most of the members of this board use dwarf what the guys in the 60's and 70's used. (Yet who looks as good as Arnold, or Sergio, or Draper, or Zane, or Scott, or Nubret?) Arnold was propably more over the edge than most guys at the time and he supposedly used 600mgs of Primo a week and 50mgs of Dbol a day . I've seen guys recommending twice that much to people asking about a first time cycle.

I don't know what some of you guys are talking about, there is no such thing as ever being TOO big. The bigger and stronger the better. Arnold was great for his time, but he can't hold a candle to Ronnie, Dorian or Lee. And Arnold admits that himself.

I agree with your second paragraph but how the hell do you know about all that shit you stated in your first paragraph?

Hum I bet you're quite young. So bigger is better: even the waist and the guts?

Mind Blowing

I am simply amazed by Arnold Look. The bodies of 70's truly define bodybuilding. Today's Body Builders are simply freaks. They aren't very pleasant to look at. They hardly represent healthy bodies. That Bigger is better attitude is just terrible.
