He looks good but with that accent Hollywood is a real longshot.

Mentzer destroyed Arnold here

Nope. It's no good having a very close up of methzer with a more distant shot of Arnold. Cope harder.

I heard he secretly did one work set per exercise.

Ask Frank Zane or John Balik. They would disagree. Also watch Ric Drasin's old vids about training with Arnold. It's all multiple sets.

They have all confirmed that it was 1 all-out set.

RMJ11 will you ever look as good as Mike during his amateur days?

From Steve Holman's website
"Former IRON MAN Publisher John Balik was there, often training with Arnold, and this is what he had to say about it:
Winter was Arnold’s building stage. At this point in his training he used exercises and worked them very hard—every [work] set with 100 percent effort. He worked each bodypart twice a week.
That produced great gains for Arnold over the winter, as he looked incredible on the beach when summer rolled around…
John also noted that Arnold was fond of pyramiding his poundage on the big exercises; that is, adding weight on each successive set, which reduced his reps. For example, often his reps would go 10, 8, 8, 6, 4-5, with the first two sets as lighter warmups, but adding weight on each. So the last three—8, 6, 4-5—were his key all-out mass-building work sets."
So no. Arnold never did just one work set. Drasin states the same in his vids.

Will you?

correct
Thanks for agreeing.

I’m just trying to build a chest like Robert Fortress

Exactly, he will never become an influential person in the US (like for example, a Politician) with that accent.
Hollywood is way above his league.
Looks good, but strange name and very strange accent.

NO ONE has ever nor will ever build a chest like Arnolds. Ferrigno came as close as anyone but still didnt match Arnolds. Arnold at 235 lbs looked massive and thes 300 lbs bags of shit nowdays look like bags of shit. Their chest and arms and back and calves dont look nearly as good or big ( even arnolds thighs were big before 1980) They carry the weight in their bellys ( enlarged intestines) Arnold had a tight waist at 6ft 2 and 235 he looked huge. Case closed

Bullshit... Serge Nubret had a much better chest.

Comparable? Maybe. Much better nonsense.

Bests chests in no order

so you agree it was Comparable? therefor why is it nonsense as his chest was overall balanced. Arnold had hanging bulging breasts, infact he could have wore a Bra... ;D

Can’t argue with that. Honorable mentions (tier 2) goes to Bertil Fox, Kal Szkalak, Gary Strydom and Kevin Levrone

i forgot to add Brutal Fox. Being delt dominant, that made Levrone’s chest not look all that great in the most muscular poses, but his side chest was on point

More bs from the hit cult.

Yes, he used volume and plenty of it. :D

Ken Sprague was definitely a volume guy. To be successful in bodybuilding, you can’t be afraid of heavy loads

Not really. Arnold in his early years had an above average chest. It was only through a lot of hard work that Arnold greatly improved his olympia winning chest.
-
How old is he there? Most people don't have peak chest mass as a teenager regardless of potential.

Around 18/19

The below picture is quite interesting, it probably is from June 1966.
It is a testament to Arnold's significant muscle gain leading up to his first Mr. Universe competition. From a modest size chest to a massive chest and impressive overall size at his debut, Mr. Universe in September 1966, it's conceivable that Arnold put on around 20 pounds of muscle within a 3-4 month period. He probably upped the dose into the competition.
