Post by: Pollux on January 30, 2009, 07:54:20 AM

Here are some pics of Arnold at 18 when he served in the Austrian army...

...and as the story goes, he went AWOL to compete in the 1965 Jr. Mr. Europe. Here's the shape he was in at that show...

...a lot of books/magazines peg this picture of Arnold at 16. It is NOT. It's him 18 at the Jr. Mr. Europe...

the pictures of him at 19 show a HUGE difference, isn't the picture of him lying on the pier one of him at 19? He looks so much bigger at 19 than at 18.
