I know it's hard to believe that your hero can look like that, but Arnold is human. He is what he is... or in this fact, was.

That Kovacs picture is incredible. I've never seen a 48" waist that didn't have any visible fat on it before. WOW.

Check out T3 which was well after.. the intro scene where Arnie looks great and back in shape.

Thats easily one of the greatest front double bi's of all time. He might have fallen, but at least he was the shit for a while, most of us(nearly all) will never look anything close to that.
