To show that you don't need to bench 275 for reps and be over 200 to be a steroid user.

exactly , zane was 5'9 dickerson was 5'7
labrada was 5'5 and priest was 5'3

but bigbk hit the nail on the head. To prove a point . Bodybuilders come in all shapes and sizes

so strengthwise he is much over that as i said.
For the size, they weren't using gear like today's pro's plus aesthetic was important during that time too. Plus he is very short. The average juicer's height isn't 4 feet.
Also olympia was divided to -200 +200 group.

Elite Fitness is a STEROID & BODYBUILDING FORUM. LOSING MUSCLE MASS IS UNACCEPTABLE! The whole point of using steroids, as Nelson stated, is TO GROW MUSCLE.

Nelson says: "Face it. You, me, and most everyone here will never be a pro. Stop using steroids like you're one!"


You do remember Arnold said: "I only use Anabolic Steroids when dieting in preperation for a contest, so that I don't lose my muscle".

arnold said " I use steroids to polish a already perfect physic to just add the finishing touches "
back in the 70's bodybuilders stayed lean and fairly smaller year long theywould only hit a cycle 3 months out from a contest to bulk up for the show. Just the opposite as today.
So in essence , when you see pumping Iron arnold was pumping up and bulking to his maximum potential and trained 6days a week to stay lean and bring out definition. Then later in the year arnold backed off the weights and became fairly soft . As we have seen in pictures over the years
