Title: Arnold is overrated as a bodybuilder
Post by: Firemuscle on June 03, 2011, 12:14:03 AM
 He was a good bodybuilder. But there have been dozens of guys who are better than him in the past few decades.

 For his time, Arnold was good. But in the big picture he is not that great. He's got weak points and his conditioning wasn't that great.

 Overrated. If he had a shit personality like most bodybuilders then he wouldn't be considered nearly as great.

 Yes I am back to 100% I still havn't started lifting weights again though. I just have no desire to do it.

 After that near death experience my mindset changed a lot. One thing I realized is that I don't really give a shit about my muscles anymore. I'd rather just be healthy and feel great. So i'm getting back into bicycing and yoga and dropping the weight lifting for now. Weight lifting just gets boring as shit after a while when you're a natural. It's better to fuck, bicycle and hike.

Agree, and compared to guys from his era he was "good" but still overrated. For example, Robbie Robinson and Serge Nubret were way better than him.
Arnold had more self-confidence and charisma, and was a good friend of Joe. Those factors played a -important- role in his success.

 Exactly, I always thought Sere Nubret and Lou Ferrigno were much better.

 And by the time the 1980 Olympia came around the competition fucking SMOKED Anrold and his victory was handed to him on a silver platter.

 But, lots of people think that Arnold was the greatest bodybuilder ever and they think he was better than all the modern bodybuilders.

 If you tell everyone that your shit is made out of gold, lots of people will believe it I guess.

I beg to differ (that means I think you are wrong).  The majority of DOD teachers are very good as they enjoy not only excellent benefits but also that rarest of honors for teachers and coaches alike - respect.  If you are indeed a teacher of "English", then might I suggest you put yourself in as the lead for a new "reality show".

Given your clientele, I proffer the follow working title - "The Moron Whisperer".  You're a good kid and I like some of your work here, but do not go there.  ;D You are in way over your IQ and I really don't want to make you sit up all night looking up words, terms, phrases, et al that are not to be found on Urbane Dictionary.  Get some rest.   ;D

 You are an idiot who tries too hard to speak with a large vocabulary.

 You remind me of the fruitcake students you find in the English department at most universities. Writing CRAP, but using large obscure words, so they think it's just great. But it's really just a disorderly bunch of bullshit.

 Good writing should be concise, simple, read easily and quickly. It's all about conveying ideas in the best and most functional way. Using fruity, flowery language is for wanna-be writers. Writing in words that the reader does not know is never a good thing to do. Anyone can do it. It's not impressive.

I see you're from the K.I.S.S. school of "thought".  Keep It Simple Stupid.  Yeah... that about sums it up for you.  Of those I know in person via my work and friendships, my vocabulary is the norm.  The gift of articulate speech as well as the ability to convey it through writing (not typing, as you do) is available to anyone with the desire to learn to better express themselves.

Arnold's "greatness" has been overstated due, in part, to his charisma.

His role in Pumping Iron, then starring in action movies, coupled with successfully winning the California governorship twice added to his "legend."

His current troubles will undoubtedly bring his historical record a little closer to the truth.

Since I still think Flex was better than Dorian, Dorian can have a glass of water, as for Haney....   That's a actually a good comparison...  Is he better than Arnold?  maybe, Lets get a pic of both .

you're a big man over the internet. now listen son, go away and drink your milk and maybe one day you'll be man enough to square me up. I like GETBIG and there are a lot of good posts on here but there are a few Gobshites like you who are very immature and do not post constructive training advice.

 Sure gimmick. I'll take what you say seriously, when you have no picture, 200 posts, and are obviously a troll with multiple accounts.

 You can kindly fuck off now and log in with your real account. Gimmick fuck.

 If I saw you in real life I would kick you in the fucking face.

yes it is Bad what they are doing now. I was in 1985 till 1995 in which time i was in Germany. I remember meeting some RAF Regt Guys in Vögelsien( hope i spelt it correct :'() it's a big training area full of Ranges and one night we had a good piss up with them. I knew a couple of guys who joined the RAF but i think if i remember correctly one joined the RAF police.

He was a good bodybuilder. But there have been dozens of guys who are better than him in the past few decades.

 For his time, Arnold was good. But in the big picture he is not that great. He's got weak points and his conditioning wasn't that great.

 Overrated. If he had a shit personality like most bodybuilders then he wouldn't be considered nearly as great.

no in his time he was really the best.. even in 80 when he was not close to his best he was able to beat all the best guys of that era..

This is true.

The thing about Arnold is that when posed, he could make you think his was more balanced than he was.

In anycase, Arnold had several signature poses. The guys these days have none.

Any bodybuilder who is smart enough not to get bigger than his frame allows is a good bodybuilder.

This. Arnold had plenty of flaws but he wrote (may it be in a dirty or righteous way) his own "legend". Bbers are mostly dull. Nubret to me had a better physique then Arnold. I live in in Paris. I know quite a few people who knew Nubret and saw him myself a few times. Not exactly someone that would fascinate you in any way.

Sadly, Sammir never duplicated his winning 1983 condition. To think that he actually beat Lee Haney several times both in 1982 and in 1983, at a bodyweight of LESS THAN 190. Come 1984, it was lights out until Dorian came around, along with the new breed and then it was out with the old (with exception to Vince Taylor), in the with the new.

Good writing should be concise, simple, read easily and quickly. It's all about conveying ideas in the best and most functional way. Using fruity, flowery language is for wanna-be writers. Writing in words that the reader does not know is never a good thing to do. Anyone can do it. It's not impressive.

I like Reeves, but concerning wannabe writers, this is spot-on.  Any kind of writing's simply a form of communication, and the first rule of effective communication is the speaker/writer's message is easily understood.  You can pop out with all of the vis-a-vis, prima facie, perfidiousness, usufruct and callipygian-type words you like; it's all gasconading circumlocution in the end ;) :P

More people should study Hemingway.  He could paint beautiful pictures with parsimonious language ;)  ::)  

... no, really, though:  Hemingway rocks.  He could do more with five words than many authors could with 10.  And he certainly knew better than to fap away with multi-syllabic words that plebs don't know.

With all respect, I can't agree about Serge.  He looked fantastic just standing there, with killer abs and pecs.  But I honestly don't see how he's better balanced than Arnold.  Better abs, yes -- but Arnold trumps him on everything else.  Arnold's legs were better.  His back was better.  His pecs were thicker and his arms were a lot bigger and better. 

Robby might be a different story.  He has a much lighter frame but has more dramatic proportions, particularly in some poses.  The legs would always be a weakness against Arnold, though.

He was a good bodybuilder. But there have been dozens of guys who are better than him in the past few decades.

 For his time, Arnold was good. But in the big picture he is not that great. He's got weak points and his conditioning wasn't that great.

 Overrated. If he had a shit personality like most bodybuilders then he wouldn't be considered nearly as great.

You done? Now go stick your head back up your ass..

A bodybuilder should be judged by how he fared against the competition during his time. Arnold was far and away the best bodybuilder during his time. He may not have absolutely crushed the competition the way Haney did, but he kicked their asses pretty damn good. Give the man the respect he deserves.

Agree, and compared to guys from his era he was "good" but still overrated. For example, Robbie Robinson and Serge Nubret were way better than him.
Arnold had more self-confidence and charisma, and was a good friend of Joe. Those factors played a -important- role in his success.

Joe really made Arnold.  I agree that he would not have had his Olympia success without the Weider boys pressing certain buttons.  But Arnold was smart enough to use that to launch his own plan for success.

Arnold was just a "good bodybuilder"?

Sounds like bait, Troll.

Arnold just popped. He just jumped off the page. Ronnie was twice his size and just barely managed to do the same. Dorian had one photo shoot where he came close. The famous black and white photo spread before he reclaimed the Olympia.

There is only one Arnold. he has that "it" factor. No one knows what that is.

Arnold is on top because of his worldwide fame in Hollywood

But if we put Bodybuilders in historical BODYBUILDING significance then is :

1- Lee Haney (won 8 straight Mr.O) Did guess posing always in shape ,had a Bodybuilding tv show on mainstream tv ESPN. while being the champ..always humble, always smiling.always respecting the competitors/competition .

2- Arnold  won 7 mr.O tittles : (won in 1971 unopposed)  (Controversial in 72,some say Sergio should have won )
(1980 is the stain on his BB carrer to this day) mind games, bending the rules not following mandatory poses on stage,disrespectful  to competitors,  etc etc....


 by his own words he used BB just as stepping stone to move into bigger and better things.

Worst way to promote the sport/hobby etc .


WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well said. His charisma also had a huge effect, even in pictures you could see it and that helped him alot.
