No anti E's in Arnolds day and No bitch tits either ?

...I mean, in general, how come so many guys looked so good back then?

I believe the overall package was more important than size back then. Not to mention the work ethic was incredible.

yeah Nelson why make us wait. Still lmao about pharmguys post, dont know why.lol

People used to care about proportions and their overall presentation rather that looking like huge freaking slabs of meat in some areas with an equally huge GH gut. I have said it before, but the GH gut should result in some major points taken off.

They looked good back then!!! Today they would not hold a candle to the women of today!!! Not knocking guys like Zane and draper and all of them, but lets face it, if you saw some of them in todays times you might not look twice.... And if you did you would say man that is a great look. But I say that almost everday any how.

So you see guys like Zane and Draper everyday eh? No one would look twice? How about that. But you need to be bigger so you'll risk gyno? Interesting.

pharmguy: Good one! No, they didn't read my book...but they helped write it.

has GH actually been established to cause the gut? I dont see how it could..

Hard work, unheard of drive, good eating. I would say that combined with learning to know their own bodies. They didn't say "oh f' some research article says only to train my body once a week" or "some strength coach says im doing it all wrong" they found what worked through trial and error, and kept at it.

Also it seems they cared more about the overall package. I notice many prefered to have athletic looking thighs with huge calves. that combined with the tiny waists made them look like statues come to life. Today you have guys who care about size over all, and will do anything to get it. Where back then they probably shyed away from taking too much, as they wanted to keep everything flowing together?

I'm just guessing, until Nelson gives us the answer!

On a side note, I often wonder just how much better off we are these days. With all these coaches telling bb's what to do, all the online gurus, all the scientific programs, etc... Maybe we all just screwed ourselves over the min. we started to listen to all those reports, and coaches. It's funny how many a time we will say people like Arnold, Robby, Zane, etc were all idiots and didn't have a clue, but then we will blindly follow the first guru or strength coach to come along.... Then when someone like Nelson or Sofageorge comes along, guys who were actually there back then, they too get written off as not knowing what they are talking about. Go figure...

I am unsure of what this means " But you need to be bigger so you'll risk gyno? Interesting"???? Plus guys did get gyno back then. There were corrections for it. I am not saying that there bodys did not rock back then, I am just saying that by todays standards they are fitness models of today!!! I would also like to compare color photos to black and white photos. 9 times out of 10 when you see a picture of Zane and Arnold it is in black and white.

I think the old school BB's trained really intense and had very good basic diets. I'm sure their doses weren't as low as many claim but even if they used 500 mg test a week they still deserve alot of credit. I think guys like franco columbo, arnold and nubret had great bodies.

Fitness models? Bro, I think you are smoking something. I don't think anyone would ever confuse Sergio, Arnold, Franco, Lou, Robby, etc and how they looked in their prime with being fitness models. Many a time these guys were nearly as big as todays BB's but without the guts. If you look at pics of Sergio, with another 20lbs or so, he would make Ronnie look bad, minus the gut.

Nobody has ever matched Arnold in pecs or biceps. No top pro today could outlift Franco (and don't give me that Ronnie deading 800 crap, yeah at 300lbs and on a ton of stuff. Franco was deadlifting over 700 at 185lbs), you would be hard pressed to find anyone with the kind of condition Zane was able to achieve, or the awesome thickness, yet tiny waist that Sergio had. Fitness models? I think you are blind...

ps. Ton's of color pics if you look at the right sites. Do a websearch for Arnold's official italian site, or for ironage.
