Pumpin Iron= The shit!

[Xiodus]

Damn , all those guys have perfect bodies, Damn why dont bodybuilders look like that today. Beside from arnold having great genetics, training,diet. How much and what was arnold on? Bodybuilders back then didnt do alot? should we keep it that way today?

yeah those guys were a lot bigger back then, the 300 pounders on stage today are nothing compared to the 230 pound guys back then, good call guy

I dont think he was trying to say that they were bigger, in fact, I agree with him. I think the bodybuilders from Arnolds day up till the early 90's had more pleasing physiques, they were still huge, but symmetrical as well with great v-tapers. Todays pros are lucky to have a waist under 40" in contest shape, they look pregnant

Yeah, I agree Arnold had incredible upper body symmetry. The guys today just seem too big and almost cartoon looking. Ronnie C. just looks goofy to me. I would take Arnold in the old days if I had to pick a body to wear. Just my opinion though.

I agree bodybuilding was certainly at its peak back then-- arnold, lou, serge nubret, franco, zane, etc... All those guys looked just amazing.

But i have to give the guys at this years olympia credit... a lot of them looked superb with pretty flat stomachs. I mean gunter ripped at 300 looked amazing i gotta give some of them their due.

Does anyone know the gear that was around then, or what they were on? Yes they had more pleasing physiques back then, now they look like freaks.

Arnold was known for his love of Dianabol and Primobolan Depot. This was his favorite stack! In regard to doses, nobody really knows. IMO, they did much less back then compared to what modern day bodybuilders do now, and GH was not used back then.

Well I don't think all of them do. I think Dexter Jackson has nice shape and good muscle size. Of course the smaller guys such as anybody under 250lbs. can't do shit in a Mr. O contest.
