Title: Would this Golden Age physique make it through the NPC TODAY?!
Post by: Pollux on October 15, 2009, 04:24:06 AM
Would a 20 year old Arnold make it through the NPC ranks holding this physique the way it was?  8)

No way - looks way too athletic and well proportioned...   cattle-breed physiques of today would "destroy" him...

Yep - Arnold is the man, but in today's crazy bodybuilding world he wouldn't have amounted to much - especially with those legs at that age.  :-\

with better condition, yes. Dont forget Ahnold is not a midget, so he would crush a lot of people just because of his stage presence

Dumb question.  How can you compare anything from 40 years ago with today.  Would the cars at Indy from 40 years ago beat the cars of today?  Would the guy who won the 100 meters beat the guys of today?

No. He probably wouldn't place but then again it depends on who els shows up. He'd be a heavyweight and the heavyweight class in most states and most shows maybe only have 4-5 guys and 2 of them should of really been light-heavyweights but they failed to diet down right.

he'd make it to the Nationals easily. Then after a year or so layoff, he'd win. Then people would advise him to take a couple of years off to bring the legs up.

I'd say a 20 year old Arnold looking the way he does in these pics would carry him to a state title, at most.

Leo Robert would smoke you. Your upper body is incomplete.

Oh, and clean the piss off the wall.

He certainly would although I still think my legs might be better (kinda hard to judge from that picture) - but the question was how would he fare in the NPC today and I'm sure he wouldn't win a show looking like that. Times have changed - his body still does look great though and that's what matters more .. at least to me.

By the way what exactly is incomplete about my upper body ? (I'm of the same opinion , just wondering what you're pointing at - I think my biceps are my main weakness)

No need to clean this shit place , I'm moving outta here soon anyway so I'll just leave it like that..

From the pose you displayed...lack of density, high lats, arms lack detail and mass
you are likely just young

Lack of density .. check
High lats .. check

Good assessment.

Brutal cheap 80's desk fan, stained/dirty wall, apparent derelict residence, jeans dropped around your ankles (oh brother), red supermarket basket with shit in it, dirty carpet, pair of shoes and plain white t shirt.

Other than that, some pretty solid legs.

Yea this place is pretty bad. Lived in a couple of shit places but this takes the cake ..even worse than most places in Africa I stayed at.. just ripped the carpet out a couple of days ago because I couldn't stand the smell any longer. But as I said I'm going to move to another place soon.. it's just temporary.

Here are a couple of pics of one of the better places I lived in - and one of a small student's apartment I stayed at for about half a year .. reminds me of a prison cell. There's heaps of stuff in that picture you can comment on .. I always enjoy a good "brutal xyz" remark.

Yet it was pretty expensive - well at least to me.

~270 euro per month for about 15 square metres.

The other flat was about 400 AUD a week. Shared it with a polish guy. 3 bedrooms and 2 balconys. Yeah I miss living there .. although my flatmate was very weird. He looked like the perfect example of a schmoe and had that strong eastern european accent.. he was straight though.

This guy, the great white hope of his day, couldn't do it in the early 90's, and he had legs, not as conditioned as his fellow competitors(which along with a drink or two, was the problem), but build was very similar to Arnie.
