Could Arnold=Ronnie

[Lift Chief]

I totally agree that back when arnold was competing it was about making the human body look its absolute best... in pumping iron he talks about the proportions of his body- he didnt increase the size of a muscle unless he needed to in order to even out his physique... he probably could have been even bigger than he was.

now a days it is about pushing the limits of what is humanly possible. Both pursuits are admirable it is just a personal choice which one you respect more...

Arnold's look is visually appealing, while Coleman's is disgusting.


Arnold is my favorite Bodybuilder too, I wish Levrone or Gunter woulda won this year though.

i;m right with you brotha ...someone ask ronnie how he got his calves to look so good! cough....synthol

As far as genetics go... arnold all the way, but its so hard to determine who's physique would of been better considering the amount of drugs that are currently used in todays bodybuilding compared to the past. Although, I believe arnold would look just as plastic and just as bloated as all the current bodybuilders if he was competing now. Regardless, arnold is still my favorite.

I just used ronnie as a base for all the FREAKS out there now. Do you think arnie could look as freaky as Levrone, priest, Gunter, Dorian? He had mass but no where near what they carry today plus his legs were twigs compared to many of todays pros. He had some great thigh separation and one hell of a taper, but I just dont see his 6'2" frame carrying 300 plus lbs.

arnold had the perfect physique. he was well proportioned and not freakish looking. i dont think anyone will ever compare.

I dont think Coleman is better than some of the recent bodybuilders...Yates was a champ for 6 years while Coleman was a pro and Coleman was never even a threat to Yates for those many years!

Haney was better than Coleman..I also go with Gunther, Levrone and Cutler over Coleman recently too.

Arnold by far, with todays drugs he'd be 280 riped. Hows this for funny Ronnie said that he thought he beat Jay hands down in 2001 because he has better symetry. Yet when Kevin clearly beat Ronnie in the 2002 Mr O, Ronnie said he derseved to win hands down because he's way bigger than Kevin. Last time I checked 10lbs isn't way bigger, Ronnie needs to wake up.

Arnold would still kick his butt today if he decided to try and return to bodybuilding because he made it more of an art show not a freak show. It was a marvel at the perfection one could attain in the physique of the body, not look at my big, big muscles, they are bigger then yours.
