Arnold had a much more "believable" physique. People though Arnie "might" be on steroids. When he came clean (lol!) people believed him when he said he only took some Primo and D-Bol to finish himself off for the Olympia.
However, he was taking juice by the truckload - Deca, Test, EQ, D-Bol, and Primo. But, he still had a very well defined physique unlike Ronnie who looks like an unnatural freak that can't control his use of GH.
However, if Arnie had access to HGH, he'd have taken that one by the truckload as well!!!

Ronnie all the way!
Better symmetry. Legs twice the size than arnold's. And although you may not like his midsection, the same principle should apply to arnold. Arnold had huge arms and his legs never caught up with his upper body.

veng said:Apologies if this is a repost but do you folks think this is a fair comparison between Arnie and Coleman?
I've read on this forum several times about Arnies legs being thin blah blah. But it goes to show the size of Ronnies

Great thread. Thanks.
I think Arnold looks so much better and while there's no way to tell, I'm sure his AAS use is far less comprehensive than Coleman's.
I still enjoy looking at Arnold pictures even after all these years. The guy was in a class all his own.
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.

Hey Guys,
Arnold definately has the type of physique where if they both walked down the street, Arnie would look really muscled to Joe Public, whereas Ronnie would look like a really big fat guy.
Who cares if Ronnies legs are hugh, they certainly don't look good for it and Arnolds Arms are just awesome.
For the guy who posted about Arnie and Terminator 3. Arnie broke his ribs in a biking accident and spent 3 months instead of his planned 6 months training for terminator 3.
He was determined to be in the same shape as the other terminator movies, a cut 16 stone and he was. He had to train with 15 set reps, I posted his training routine for that somewhere on a link I found so you have to give props to the guy.
If you look at Ronnie, pre Mr Olympia, you would notice he too looked more like Arnold than the swollen mass we see now.

You cant compare the two on anything really.... Different era, different drugs, different judging. Both are extremely geneticly gifted.
