Yeah, lets bring back the glory days! No more slin/G.H./synthol and all that other crap. We have to stop supporting all these cheaters nowadays. We need more positive role models that look "good." Like Arnold and Serge ect... back in the day. The pumping Iron line up, for example. We have the power. Only we can change the direction of this once "great sport"

imo arnold was his best in 74,all of you who followed his career will prolly agree.also arnold never had calf implants,calves are one of those things that stay with you once you got em huge,ofcoarse they will lose alittle size if your not training them but not all that much imo.do i think the 80 olympia was pushed in arnolds favor?yes i do.im not saying he wasnt good enough to win but arnold is arnold and he has major connections at the olympia.the 81 olympia with franco winning was a different story,i think that was a dark day in bodybuilding history,but arnolds influence stretched far as we seen the outcome with franco winning in 81.i thought platz was better that night.arnold in 80 couldnt hold a candle to the 74 or even 75 arnold,pics dont lie and people on here who seen arnold in person back in 74 or 75 will surely agree with me

Arnold doesn't have calf implants-they're as easy to spot as breast implants on female bbers.  You can look at any video from the time and see him spike his calf, it's tight to the skin and normal looking-not even close to what an implanted calf looks like(like a balloon under the skin).

Coleman, Yates, Cutler and some others are all bigger and have more muscle than Arnold and all weigh alot more than he did, but his muscle size (upper) and shape is as good as anyone ever.  Plus, Arnold's body is pleasing to look at by the majority of people while the others are just not that appealing to the masses

QFT   take one look at the way Arnold's calves striate in Twins when he walks up to the counter. there is no implant in the world that can dance like that.  just show us 2 photos in Arnold's career where there is a huge difference in a short period of time.

Exactly. I have never seen calf implants that fooled me. Look at Ferrigno's in 92. They were fake. Tony pearson got fake one's. People never want to accept the fact that Arnold trained them incredibly hard and brought them up.

I love when internet mavericks state with conviction how it's a "known fact" that Arnold got implants when he was competing. It's a well propagated rumor, just like him being on dialysis every night.

Has anyone who believes this ever seen the scene in P.I. where he flexes his calf up and down- how it compresses and elongates and how the muscles are so clearly defined? Has anyone who states this ever seen an actual calf implant circa 2008 (see below)?

So, nearly 40 years ago, when he is supposed to have gotten his implants - in Europe - they were actually miles ahead of today's version?

Mentzer still looks better in that comparison pic. Arnold has NO abs and stick legs. Arnold was ALL arms in 1980 and not very much more than that.

The trouble was that the judges recognized Arnold as the champ.  In their minds, not eyes, Arnold was the winner.  This was based on his past performances, they didnt see the Arnold that showed up that day.

Roger Walker looked great and as usual, was overlooked.

Arnold will always be the king.
