Good to see he wasn't an insecure beta who wasn't afraid to come off and let his body rest.
No reason to look huge and ripped year round when you can still look good (for the ladies) and get right back into competitive shape with a flick of a vial-top/dbol bottle and weights.

Problem is, Phil is narrow and 5'9. While Arnold is wide and 6'2. Height and good bone structure go a long way. Arnold could afford to go soft and flabby without looking like a fat midget.

Arnold was always tall and handsome.  Even if he was softer at times he didn't look like a bloated pile of diarrhea like Rhoden, Heath, cutler, branch and company in the off season.

got that right and I'm pretty sure these pics are retirement time when his body varied alot, so after 75 O-80

Eventhough Off-Season, Phil has some muscles on his frame ffs. He looks like a BB, Arnold looks like an Average Joe on these pics ::)

Arnold got big in the offseason like in the 1974 mr southern hemisphere. These slim pics are confused with retirement time.

Haha this comparison does phil no favors

Just shows arnold looking good while completely off, and being alpha about the whole thing. Knowing muscle is just one part of life. Tall, hair and good skin, no one can rag on that

Phil, "cruising" on a boat load of shyte, still managing to look like a puffy midget who's compensating for his complete insecurity - which is bigger than his physique. eyes look desperate, face unhealthy

exactly, here's another from the same year 1977, 2 years after competition so again not off season, retirement.

That's why old Arnold pics will always sell magazines

He simply has more pull than pure muscles. It's a look that portrays a masculine and healthy ideal.  And for bodybuilding to ever be put on mainstream channels again, you need more than muscles too sell it

it's amazing what a few inches makes in the visual difference of arm size  :o

Arnies arms about 18 inches there, while the other dude most likely has 14 inch arms

so 4 inches make an incredible difference

it seems once a arm measures a legit 17 Iinches it looks MUCH BIGGER

The craziest thing about Arnold being a bodybuilder back then was that he had a real job.

He did? Doing what exactly? Are you talking about his "Mail order business"? What products do you think were being sent out by mail back in the 70's?

But please, enlighten us, what company did Arnold work for  working his "real job"?

I think you'll find the closest he came to working a real job was hitting Joe Weider up for cash in between shows.

Average Joe? Do you get out much? In fact look at the "average Joe's" you see at the gym, whom are not average Joe's because they actually work out. But 90% look like shit and have saggy guts. Arnold looks robust and healthy here.

BTW, what do you look like? Ever posted a pic?

actually arnold did have a job. him and franco started a company called "pumping bricks". they did brick work based on "eureopen" designs and people believed it so they spent alot of money. lol he also worked for weider doing interviews and writing stories and posing for ads.  he would do almostt anything to make a buck. his mail order was clothes pics tshirts and courses.  he still has the same po box 1234  santa monica. believe it or not.

If you really think Arnold had a regular job in the 70s then I got a nice bridge for you to buy....

Even Ric Draison didn't work in the 70's - in one of his clips he said he worked ONE day with Columbo laying bricks and said fuck this! No word of him ever working with Arnold!

Dont forget Paul Graham doing time for Arnold over the car rebirthing racket.

Arnold has NEVER had a regular job unless you count the Army.

And Arnold's mail order business?? Lets just say it was sponsored by Ciba!! And Arnold's suitcases were FULL of "primo" product every time he got back from a trip to Austria....

and wrong again. arnold didnt bring suitcases back of anything. serge nubret used to but not arnold. yes him and franco had that business. he didnt do alot of the work he was the brain. he went out and got the customers. he was under contract with weider from day one. THAT  was his job. he also did his mail order and no he didnt mail drugs. some of you guys are unbeleievable. you talk about stuff you know nothing about. yes he was supposed to be involved in the car thing with grahm i dont know anything else about that. he was and is very money motivated. also he did acting too. he went to school too. he was a very very busy man. drasin is a washed up former gay porn actor. he was never in the same class as  arnold or any other pro or top amatuer bodybuilders. he was a wrestler and porn actor.among other things.
