After Watching Pumping Iron.

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.

Arnold is a genius, if it wasnt for him it is a safe bet we woulndt be here on a board like this now. I thought on the film he came across as a very likeable man. I especially enjoyed the part when he confessess to teaching that german guy the screaming routine!!!

I agree ,i think its the high doses of A/S that are changing the looks of bodybuilders, i remember myself years ago only doing low doses of 250 mgs Test & 200 Deca and when i would take my big bagy shirt off and had that extra small waist and wide shoulders and very thick chest , huge back & arms even the bigger guys would say whoa, now i'm bigger but on the edge of the power lifter look and dont like it.

Arnold was not a dick, he had pure CONFIDENCE, and he knew that he had to have that instilled in his mind in order to acheive his goals. He didn't let anything interfer with them. Shit the guy didn't even go to his Dad's funeral...why- cause he knew it would fuck with his mind. He was very strong minded...and I think you confused that for cockyness. Lou is a little bitch in that movie, and his dad has him on a leash. Btw, not many people can acheive the level of confidence that Arnold posessed. I respect the hell out of him for that. The guy has acomplished just about everything he has ever wanted, and deserves to be looked up as a true role model. Don't disrespect the man.

FYI - Arnold lied about his father and Lou really was not close to his father - his father just jumped into the movie.

Yup.

Arnold's dad died in January which was 10 months before the Olympia. Arnold just made that up for the film based on a story based on a boxer he heard about. The story does further Arnold as strong and commited to be the best bodybuilder.

 

[PURE EXTRACT]

did you get this video from me? Man, Arnold was/is the man. He beat all of his opponents physically and mentally. Lou didn't stand a chance, he already lost before he even started.
