Interesting to hear Roger Callard say that Arnold got his Calves done in Mexico. Callard is not one to bullshit, and if anybody would know, he would as he trained with Arnold at the time.

jealousy is a bitch. Arnold's calves are real.

The pic on left is 6 weeks before the pic on right. Taken in 1975. His calves grew the same as the rest of his body.

AJ pistol whipped him coz he tried to sell weed to hhis son

Arnolds Calves where not implants imo
you could see the splits, fibers etc when he flexed them

callard also says he had a 48" vertical jump in college he is a loonie.

The fact that modern day calf implants are still easy to spot completely debunks these stupid myths. Must've been a magical Mexican doctor over 40 years ago. Oh brother ::)

Why wouldn't you see the splits, fibers? Implants go underneath the muscle.

no calf implant existed before the mid 70's

picked up that lingo from Sgt. Barnes from the film platoon

Duchaine claimed small amounts of silicone NOT implants. I wasn't like he did it to make them huge, just to balance them out.
-
Arnold's angular diamond shaped calf implants still going strong ::)

and how would that walking chemistry experiment know anything about Arnold???
-
Interesting that people who were close to Arnold at the time are saying he had work done on his calves. Rick Drasin said the same thing. Rick said Arnold had left for a couple months, and when he returned, he had calves.
And Mike Quinn had said in an interview Weider offered to send him to Arnold's Doctor to get his calves done.

two guys who made gay porn and have denied it ever since are trustworthy?

Arnold always had good potential for calves but before 1966 he barely trained them.
Between 1966 and 1967 when he won the universe they came up a lot. He always said Chet Yorton's calves in 1966 jolted him into action not to mention Wag Bennett getting on his case about it.
By the time he came to America in 1968 they were even better. The stories about Arnold having no calves before moving here are a myth.
1. 1966
2. 1967
3. 1968

then say something else like grade a instead
-

Yeah Arnold didn't have poor calf genetics which he overcame through some insane training. He had great calf genetics, it's obvious from even the earliest pics.
-
Here's a comparison of Arnold from the 1967 NABBA Mr. Universe to 1974 in the gym.

Huge fan of that movie. Nowhere in the movie Platoon does any character say "pure d bullshit"
-
I wonder if he gets his implants replaced every ten years like a chick with fake tits. Somebody would've noticed the scar from the back of his knees by now.
-
This gym pic of Arnold has always looked a little suspect. He is enormously thick here yet other pics of the same time period are a little more realistic.
-
Good interview with Roger. A twist on the Mexico thing - maybe it's just an inside joke that we're not getting? Said for laughs but not being serious. Just a thought.
Thank you! I don't know if Roger was serious, he sounded serious about it when he said it. I think Ric Drasin said the same thing about Arnold's calves.
-
Surprised this doctor isn't world famous considering no one since can pull off real looking ones. Arnold's calves never changed shape, lous for his 90s comeback, whole different story
-

Callard didn't even meet Arnold until 1972. Arnold's calves never changed after that date they were pretty much fully developed by 1969/70 and all pics show it was a steady improvement from 1966 onwards. Arnold's entire body improved tremendously between 1968 and 1969 which was his first year in America but that improvement was in quality because his lost 5lbs in stage weight.
-
Roger clearly believes he was ugh better physique wise than he actually was.
That said he had a good build.
Comes across a bit to full of himself - likes to put others down.
As for Arnold's calfs - if / what he had done in Mexico back then
They still can't duplicate - That doctor / surgeon should be very
Well know.
-
1. 1972
2. 1973
3. 1974
4. 1980
72,73,74 are all basically the same, 80 is clearly down in calf depth (the head doesn't pop out as much) and thigh size.
-
I think it's just a great angle. That, combined with Arnold being in tremendous shape. He put on a bit of extra size for the '74 Olympia.
There are some more from around that time in the gym where he's posing and he clearly is bulked up but with trademark detail and definition.
Weirder is dying to get his cock in Arnie.

One of my favourite bb pics...
-
How did he train back in the day. I know he now does a whole body routine three days a week now but what did he do back then? What type of split. One article I read back in the day was typical volume of around 20 sets a body part.
-
1975 mr America. Callard beat Mike that day. Was it a gift? Sure looks like it.
-
Yeah, he sounded serious in virtually everything else he said. But maybe it's just one of those 'inside joke' things. "Oh yeah... Arnold got them done in Mexico... lol..."
Second pic is 1971. In that 1980 pic, his calves look as big as ever and were definitely a standout bodypart in 1980. I agree with what you said that his calves were phenominal in 1970 and didn't change shape but I think they did get a bit bigger upto 1974, arguably at their biggest.
This is a great pic, circa 1971 - 1975:
i still feel like Arnold's calves were smaller in 1980. Extremely ripped but down a touch. Thighs were down a lot.

That's a great pic, I never saw that one before. Robby won the overall with Roger 2nd and Mike 3rd. The next year, Mike beat Roger and then beat Danny Padilla for the overall.

Can you fire him off an email and tell him some people are wondering if his comment about Arnold's calves was serious or tongue in cheek.

well since he never met Arnold before 1972 and it's clear Arnold's calves never changed after that date he can only imply that he has second hand information at best.
