Schwarzenegger and Coleman

[BigRupe]

Arnold had one of those builds that "looked" bigger than it was. He competed around 225 I believe, and never got above 250 in the offseason. Clearly a lot of the weight difference was in the legs, but Arnold holds his own in the chest/back category and arms are not far behind with his peak. Even though Arnold had a thick waist in terms of bones, his slim waist looks way better than Ronnie's GH gut. Ronnie would crush him in a bodybuilding competition, but I would take Arnold's body over Ronnie's anyday.

I agree Arnold just "looks" better and if Arnold was competing today and taking what the guys are taking today and the nutrition and so on.

I think Arnold might give all of them a run for their money.

The man was a fierce competitor.

He also "crushed" them all in his life achievements.

You know you've reached superstar status when people know you by your first name.

Although I respect Ronnie for all of the work and sacrifice that has gone into making himself what he is today, I would never want to look like that. Most of the people I know wouldn't. I do think Arnold could use another inch or 2 on the thighs (forearms too), but not much more than that. He was almost perfect. How can you argue with the symetry. I guess everybody has there own views on what the would rather look like. Mine is Arnold, hands down !

Arnold had much deeper cuts and separation in his legs. I would say much better chest. You can't beat Coleman's back and arms. Overall, Coleman has the freakiest wheels right now...behind Branch Warren. It's tough to call. I am a diehard fan of both of these guys, but I think I would much rather walk around looking like Arnold every day of the week than I would looking like Ronnie. I think Arnold's physique inspired curiousity in people that saw him. People that see Ronnie are mostly shocked, and horrified that someone would do that to themselves.

I still don't think that picture is Arnold. The one where he looks like cap. Yeah I know that he had surgery but I don't think he would have fallen apart that quickly and he sure didn't loook like that for Term 3.

Arnold looks 100x better imo. Sure ronnies's obv bigger and has huge ugly legs but i would take arnolds legs over ronnies in a heartbeat. Arnold looks sooo much better and not to mention realistic.

Which one would get more pussy? Arnold all the way.

Ronnie looks like a retarded moron. Bodybuilding is so dead and guys like Ronnie killed it. Well, actually it's not Ronnie... its that judges that reward his overgrown, GH Gut physique.

 

[ass_face]

I would seriously hate to see what Ronnie looks like in 30 years!

A would guess a skeleton... that motherfucker will be dead in 10 years.

yeah, Ronnie looks like a mutated side of beef. Can't believe someone in this thread said Arnold is 'missing' the hourglass look! Wrong gender bro lol.

Like arnold said in Pumping Iron, it is about symmetry and Proportion. That is bodybuilding. Not freakish size. Symmetry and Proportion goes for your body in relation to you head too. That being said, there has never been anyone better than Arnold IMHO.

Arnold's chest and arms just seem so perfect to me while everything about big ron just looks freakish.
