Frank McGrath or Arnold?
« on: December 15, 2006, 06:16:04 PM »
Which physique do you prefer?

Please try not to let your biases prevent you from objectively judging the physiques in question here.

This IS a serious question.  Arnold's reputation shouldn't play a role in determining who has the more competitive physique.

Arnold...



Why did you use the pictures you did for Arnold? Those look to be about the best shots of Frank I have ever seen. Those are def not pictures that show Arnold in his best shape.

Both have amazing physiques. Hard to say who's more competitive.

Standarts and drugs have changed since Arnold ruled the bodybuilding world. Now a guy that would win 30 years ago can barely get to the Olympia. But nonetheless Arnold would stay on top could he compete today.
just push some weight!

Cool pics.

Now all you need to do is post the best pics of Frank so we can have a balanced comparison.

frank. arnold had some poses he looked amazing in, but some he didn't look good in at all. mcgrath, though small, is more complete. and you can all just cram it if you're going to respond with "i guess that's why he won seven olympias you're an idiot lol" and whatnot.

exactly, bodybuilding today is not like it was 40 yrs ago. You cannot win today with only the front double biceps, side chest, and most muscular.

Arnold was Arnold, 30 years ago. Arnold would be some 6th tier today, if that.

that was my point. I'm not really sure why he called me a fool. Arnold was great for his time, but he's too small and imbalanced to compete with today's top pros. Arnold is like a lighter version of Gunter (with even smaller legs). How many shows has Gunter won?

The only picture where Arnold looks better is the side chest because way back in the day they, being the collective of competetive bodybuilders at that time, posed it differently in a way which I feel is much better than how they do today.

Not really.  Arnold had standout biceps and chest.

Someone's actually telling the truth about Arnold's beach physique. This won't go well.
