At least I'm consistent Yes, I agree, for that era he had pretty good quads. The best? Hard to say. Speaking of his calves, yes they were great, but they were no match with his thighs and that's my my main critique on Arnold: not the best proportions. Everyone talks about his chest, biceps & calves for a good reason, but a well proportioned body (Bob Paris for example) will always look better to me. Good proportions are the fundamentals of a good physique.
Needles to say that Serge had his flaws as well, but his sharp lines, combined with a wasp waist resulted in a great physique.
Again, who had better over all leg development than Arnold in his era? Maybe you know someone from that time but I don't. The top bbers in his era were Lou, Zane, Franco, Serge, Sergio, Draper, Bill Grant, Ken Waller.... Anybody else?
Serge did have a great physique. Nobody question that. Just not better than Arnold's. And certainly not even close in leg development. Odd, you should say that Arnold's calves didn't match his thighs when Serge legs didn't come close to matching his upper body. A far, far greater flaw.
BTW, I don't agree that Arnold's calves and quads were out of proportion and have never heard such a criticism. I've heard of the tri/bi disproportion but never ever with his legs.
Has anybody on this thread ever heard of such a thing or is it just another example of DP's obvious bias again Arnold?
