Branch winning the 2011 Arnold Classic makes you wonder how Arnold himself would compare against the recent champion. In many ways, Arnold is the 'Bizarro Branch': Tall, perfect lines, shape and symmetry, great arms, separated back, slim but separated legs etc...
Incredible how BB has progressed.....or... anyway it shows how great Arnold was as a BB. Check out his legs from 73/74... not bad.

its sad how bbing evolved
-
Wow, just makes you realise how far ahead of his time he was.
It was photos like these of Arnold that got me into bodybuilding. I remember being about 13-14 when he was on a talk show in Melbourne. I decided right there and then that I refused to look like the other 99.9% of the population and took up weights. All I wanted for xmas that year was "The education of a bodybuilder" I still have it 30+ yrs later
Thanks Arnold.
Just how many live did he change?
-
Most extra weight in the thick midsection, ass and thighs thats not needed. While have smaller flatter pecs and arms, a sloppy back etc
I think Branch would look like a squatty mess.
-
Branch looked great at a lighter bodyweight. Somewhat unfair comparison.

also, how bad the bodybuilders today look

bodybuilding is still a contest to see who can take the most drugs

Is that one of the seven dwarfs next to the terminator? Must be dopey.

legs and backs need to be big, so waistlines get big too, body cant handle that mass
when arms dont respond they inject seo, if arms respond, they still inject seo, same for delts
the last really huge freaks that looked respectable were nasser pre-oil, dillet.
Dorian and fux started the gut thing already, but just before they added the new size, they had the max what the human body should carry
as an example, do you guys remember momo benaziza before he passed? he'd packed on insane muscle on a 5'2" frame, he looked square. he had also started developing a gut, had the guy survived, who knows what would've become of his physique!
problem is, its too late to turn around and back to the early 90's

True. Momo was more than Dorian the first to put insane mass on his frame. '93 Dorian was probably the most a body could handle with respectable lines. But already his mid-section wasn't heading in the right direction, his only flaw that year. Whatever happened after may have been impressive (Ronnie of course), but no Mr.O has had a acceptable waistline except Dexter since those days.

This, the physique type displayed by Arnold, is what should win today, but nooooooooooooooooo. As for the Oak's legs being "slim"?
Nope, no way. The measurement of the legs taken together should equal the measurement of the chest. If we are to believe Arnold's measurements (and they were purportedly agreed upon by the folks at The Guinness Book of World Records), his chest was 57", legs 28 1/2".
Aesthetics dictate this. The arms, neck and calves should measure the same and Arnold's arms and calves were with 2" being 22 1/2" and 20 1/2" respectively. I do not recall ever reading what his neck measured. And as always, Arnold had a waistline, not a WASTEline like the Texas Turdlet or the rest of what passes for a bodybuilder today. What has been going on in bodybuilding is comparable to the episode on South Park about who crapped out the largest turd. No matter how big these people get, they're still just a turd.
Just look at the retarded way in which they display their shitty physiques. Even in a side chest pose they squat down like they're crapping on the stage. Why? To "accentuate" their grossly overdeveloped ass and legs and to try and take away the focus on their huge, distended stomachs? Fuck that noise.
If I could like like anyone, it would be Steve Reeves. Second would be Arnold and that's saying a lot because I'm against drugs. But I am honest.

its 2011
not 1974
start living in the future or invent a time machine so you can get 'ass' with your 'big arms' and no legs/ass
all this 'arnold was the best' shit is regurgitated over and over again BUT things have changed - just like you old girl has moved on, get over it
and go buy some tren, gh, test OR stay a pussy and take pro hormones and watch your balls suck up inside your
godspeed ;)

yes, good point, things have changed and we'll never go back to that
branch has good freak qualities, I'm amazed by his quads, overall freaky physique, even the torn arms look very good, especially considering he's had multiple injuries, he's also brought up his back
unfortunately it affects the waistline, but thats modern bbing, and once you've done sub-10 sec quarters, you cant suddenly start doing 12 secs can you? even if the previous cars had more "flair".
its not exactly progress, more evolution of bbing

He was on a flight and when he opened up the overhead compartment a luggage fell out and nailed him right in the eye! True story.

That must be one of the sickest arms ever! Can anyone match that? I doubt! Size, veins, details, hardness, shape...Kyomo is looking great!

He probably feels like he's talking to Franco. Arnold should have used the "stand up Branch" line. Always good for a laugh.

Looks like the mayor of the village is visiting the Institution for Retarded Gnomes, and that he'd rather go golfing instead. But he went anyway because he promised his wife.

Look at the size of Branch's cranium...Now we know who is responsible for all those cattle mutilations...I bet he has a Chubacabra in hiding as well.

You didn't know? After the show they had him put to sleep...

most photos you see of arnold are usually precontest or contest photos.
i dont think people really realise how massive he was off season.

in the early days
later he started getting smaller off season, didnt he?most photos you see of arnold are usually precontest or contest photos.

I have a feeling that if Arnold was a judge he wouldn't like the likes of Branch and such. I don't think he gives a shit anymore.
-
From the seminar I get the impression he thought only 2 to 3 guys looked really good and Branch wouldn't have been the one he picked
