He was a good bodybuilder. But there have been dozens of guys who are better than him in the past few decades.

For his time, Arnold was good. But in the big picture he is not that great. He's got weak points and his conditioning wasn't that great.

Overrated. If he had a shit personality like most bodybuilders then he wouldn't be considered nearly as great.

no in his time he was really the best.. even in 80 when he was not close to his best he was able to beat all the best guys of that era..

The best physique in my book is a balanced one, and arnold's physique was far from balanced.

"probably truth"

He's the most earning one and was good in his days, but not the best, compared with guys like these

This is true.

The thing about Arnold is that when posed, he could make you think his was more balanced than he was.

In anycase, Arnold had several signature poses. The guys these days have none.

Any bodybuilder who is smart enough not to get bigger than his frame allows is a good bodybuilder.

Hi guys.

It's 2013.

Just thought I'd let you know but it's been about 40 years. A lot has happened since.

Spot on cswol. These big belly fuckers in the Mr O now are disgusting. You seem pretty cool swol as in your name keep on keep on. Training keeps your mind focused so as to use that in other areas of life.

Schwarze was good, but Nubret was always lurking.

Bodybuilding is about who looks the best, not about most development humanly possible.

RIP Nubret ...glad I got to speak to him before his time was up.
