Similar chests, Arnold had better biceps. Quinn had a really good back. Arnolds was very good as well. Quinn was a lot shorter, had a more compact looking build

Arnold at age 77 is doing well and is a billionaire.
As always, Arnold wins by a huge margin

Arnold is Numero Uno.

"Today is all that matters" !! :D

I've never seen a shot of Arnold's back that I was impressed with. He was a great front and side shot bodybuilder. Not so much from the back

Arnie was a product of the times,and he knew how to cash in. He would sell his own mother for a handful of Primo tabs.
A true dirt-back, gropinator.
His first 4 or 5 Olympia's, he went against 1-4 people, he'd get smoked today. (His physique from back then at least).
He would stay, pose nude, and god knows what else he did with the phag "Paco Arse". (Nice name flamer).
His Corvette theft ring w/ Paul Graham. His underhanded betrayals of people like Weider and Lurie who helped him.
His ugly maid fukking, his illegitimate mexican son, etc...
Pure garbage...

Can't argue with you there, they are some of the best if not the best "twisting back shots. Yet not a complete back shot. Any shot of him posing his full un twisted back bares bones rather quickly.
His low mid back on down looks flat.
I think Arnold knew this and posed his back in his signature twist as a result.
Guys like Samir,
-
???
Good, just not as full all the way down as is his arms and shoulders.
He lacked thickness all the way down.
Maybe it's his genetics and that was what he was delt.
-
Mike's back is thick all the way out side to side and all the way down.

Gary Strydom Is the biggest pussy in bodybuilding -Mike Quinn
Strydom seems healthy, looks great and is living large in Thailand.
Mike Quinn was a short 5 ft 8 (172 cm) shouter and bragger who prior to his death had to move in with his parents. If I remember correctly he was broke, and or divorced, anyway, he had lost everything.
Gary and Arnold did everything better than "mighty" Mike hahaha

I don't get the arnold hate.
His politics never interested me so I just ignore any of that stuff, makes it so much easier, people still cling to that screw your freedom comment that was never about pushing the vax.
I think he was way ahead of his time in bodybuilding and despite the lack of hamstring detail compared to today think his peak physique is the pinnacle of bodybuilding. He had Xmas tree back development way before samir and looked good at all angles.
For some reason he didn't hit the rls properly, putting his hands on his hips so his arms looked distracting, actually looked way better flaring the lats without engaging the arms.
I still like seeing arnold training, being in the gym, talking bodybuilding or movies, that's the best bits.

The same for all criticism Elon Musk is getting: mental dwarfs who have achieved nothing in their lives, and will never achieve anything meaningful spew hate towards someone who is a genius and has revolutionised both the entire car industry, and the global space and rocket industries.
But still had time to bring space based internet to houses, ships and aircraft all around the globe.
And is working on Optimus Prima, a potentially revolutionary robot
And developed Neuralink, which helps paralysed people to function and communicate better.
Arnold is not on the same level of awesomeness as Elon but still an extremely impressive chronic overachiever in every aspect. Way ahead of his time in many fields.
Those two guys are 1,000 times smarter than 99.99% of the critics.
-
Like stated, Arnold’s twisting shots were impressive. shot when standing or his crouched.version,Kevin leverone had an outstanding one as well. As did Sean Ray impressive .
-
Mike looks more impressive on his own but Arnold has the better frame and superior width.
Having said that... the Hell's Angel of Bodybuilding is still the tougher tough guy.

I agree..............Arnol d Is Numero Uno !!
-
I think Quinn vs Arnold is a good one. Quinn was pretty flawless.
FWIW I think Quinn beats Mentzer any day.
-
he was bang on here
-
Quinn was a very good bodybuilder but just think that if Arnold never stopped competing how he may have looked in 1981 up until 1988 or longer, if that would even be possible.
No movies,no time off, other than his normal routine, and entering more Olympias he could have possibly, and more than likely have won at least 10 Olympias.... minimum.
As far as him competing against far less competitors goes,hey that wasn`t his fault,in fact he helped to popularize fitness, and brought more guys into the sport.
There truly wasn`t enough good bodybuilder that had an Olympia level build back then other than the handful that competed......that`s why they eventually made two weight classes.
-
Watching at 88 video of Quinn looked great other than slimmer legs, but unbelievable upper body. It’s a shame what a mockery, the WBf was I guess he took the money. I just don’t know why he didn’t funnel into a better package on stage physique wise for those two shows, I know the one was drug tested but the 91 show he could’ve came in like 88 and looks great. Even though again, those shows were pre-determined by the salaries they say so strydom was going to win no matter what.

I am not a fan... but even I can acknowledge that Arnold is a winner!
• He came to the U.S. barely speaking English, he conquered bodybuilding, and helped define the entire industry. Now an entire show and expo is named for him.
• When no one thought he could do so, he conquered Hollywood becoming one of the biggest and highest paid stars of his time.
• He married into the Kennedy family. Technically not an "accomplishment" but quite high profile for someone who started with nothing.
• He conquered state politics in the biggest state. His tenure as governor was actually a disaster but the fact that he got there is the point.
He rose to the top in three distinct fields. This is not luck; this is the mark of a winner. Everyone who has bet against him has lost. Quinn is simply not in Arnold's league. I don't think he ever won a pro show; not one!
Terminator 1 & 2 aged very well and are now classics of the genre.

And remember I am NOT an Arnold fan. That doesn't stop me from recognizing the incredible things he has done with his life. How many Americans could move to say China, Japan, India, or another country where they do not know the language or have any significant contacts and achieve even 1/3 of what Arnold did when he came to the USA?
Quinn was survived by his mother and sister. Did he ever marry? Have a kid... legitimate or otherwise? A gf? bf? A friend with benefit? A legacy of ANY kind? Again, not in Arnold's league. ::)
Arnold is still kicking it!

Arnold at age 20 vs Quinn at age 19
Quinn was sexier by far; I will give him that. ;D

Exactly, a winner and never listens to the naysayers, people say he should retire, he says retire from what,
having fun?
Unlike alot of billionaires born to richness, arnold came from nothing, not the the rock and his claim of nothing, literally nothing.
He told his girlfriend in the 70s he'd be governor of california, he said he'd be the highest paid leading man, he knew he'd conquer bodybuilding, a millionaire before making it in movies, its crazy really.
Anyone who knows arnold says he's the smartest and most intelligent person they've met.
What's funny is people like the arnold that fucked up lou ferrigno with mind games or didn't attend his fathers funeral but we know it was just an angle, a character purely business and didnt't let anyone else or their goals stand in his way. Now he's rich and famous enough and gives back, he might have done some arsehole things but I don't think there's one of us that hasn't.

Arnold was very insecure.
In Pumping Iron an interviewer stated that Franco was “smart”. Arnold instantly referred to his best friend, Franco, as a “child”... and admitted that he’d sabotage Franco with bad advice.
-
That's just him being in character again as the ruthless operator, franco was never beating arnold.
Never seen him as insecure, personally picked taller people than him in conan the barbarian for example so the villains didn't look like a walkover. I'd say arnold is comfortable in his own skin, unlike sly demanding shorter people in certain roles and wearing custom made built up shoes, even his trainers

Terminator 2, The biggest sequel of all time... Arnold made sure that all of the established, good looking actors were blocked from playing the role of the T-1000
Arnold didn’t want anyone to steal attention from him. So he ok’d the most plain, and the most ordinary actor to play the role of the T-1000
Yawn

All of Arnold’s kids turned out pretty good, not drug addicts, losers, or leaches of society.

You still don't get it do you?
Hiring A-list actors means you have to pay them A-list salaries. Which would have meant less money for The Oak.
The movie was going to be a hit anyway, so paying a smaller amount to lesser known actors resulted in an even bigger payday for Arnold.
-
Arnold had good villains in his films. Robert Patrick was awesome as the t1000, James Cameron wanted the opposite of arnold, lean and almost cat like as he described it, nothing to do with Arnold being insecure.

How do you figure that? Strydom was hands down the best guy in the WBF. Who should have beaten him in either show? Plus, Aaron Baker and David Dearth beat guys like Eddie Robinson and Mike Christian, who made more money than Dearth and Baker did.

Have to disagree with you on this one.
The premis of this character was , it was so advanced technologically that it's frame or size was irrelevant.
I believe it's what made this character more menacing, liquid metal, virtually indestructible and could run almost as fast as a car whilst shape shifting. Prettybamazing and definitely was a game changer for movies especially in 1991.
Cameron is a great film maker. Too bad he is a complete dickbag in life. But that's another thread

arnold really does make mentzer look like some kind of malnourished child

That's a great everyday look, easy to maintain without a ton of gear.

Mike Quinn looks good, but Arnold wins, and it's not even close

Any guesses on Quinn’s net worth when he died? Did he own a home? A vehicle? Did he even leave enough to bury himself or was his family burdened with that? I get the feeling that if he were still ticking he would be on gofundme begging the community to bail him out of a lifetime of bad choices like Lee Priest, Bill Kaz, Joe Ladnier, and too many others. Remember Big Lenny’s abode? :'(

Almost certainly had a negative net worth. On the positive side, you can't take it with you. :-\

Good grief! I was half joking about the gofundme, but the truth is worse than I thought: they DID beg the public for donations in the wake of his death... with a $20k target no less! https://www.gofundme.com/f/passing-of-a-hometown-legend?qid=28e1a4e76465e6c129427f42cd35743f
"No one is ever prepared for a sudden death; financially or emotionally. I made this GoFundMe to help with his unexpected medical expenses, funeral expenses, a celebration of life and to give back to Adult and Teen Challenge in Brockton, MA; which provides life-changing hope for addicts and their families. I know many of you have great stories to tell about my brother "Mighty" Mike, and soon you will have the chance to share them at his celebration of life at Lighthouse Point Gym in Lighthouse Point Florida, date to be announced. The family would like to thank you for all the love and support during this time."
Even worse: it appears Mike had his own fundraising effort when he was alive. It seems he was raising money for personal training services. Not sure what that means or why it requires a fundraiser... but my suspicion was on point: when he was alive he was begging for money on gofundme. Pathetic! Again, not in Arnold's league.

Like Mike mentzer, Mike Quinn died broke, depressed, with nothing. It’s pretty sad actually

What’s sad is that Arnold was part of a car theft network with Paul Graham.
Mentzer & Quinn never robbed innocent people.

What more can a bodybuilder do in his life?

I doubt anyone reading this is “sad” about some stolen cars in the 1970s.
But watching some of these guys crash and burn in real time is sad. Especially when it spills into very public view with them or their relatives begging the community for cash in their final hour.

Arnold hooked up with a schmoe and ripped off people’s cars. It’s pathetic.

“My brother was not only well-known on the stage. He would help anyone with their training, nutrition, and posing. He would offer his expertise and would never ask for anything in return”
Except when he went to gofundme to beg for money for “Mike Quinn Training Services” https://www.gofundme.com/f/ProMightyMike
When you peel even one layer of this onion it gets more and more pathetic. Apparently his sister had no idea what shenanigans Mike was involved in... but the answer was only one mouse click away. ::)

Yep. And constantly trolling gyms in S FL to try to pick up personal training victims clients even though most gyms wouldn't let him set foot on their property.

It appears Quinn did not subscribe to the Robby Robinson school of aging well and staying in shape. If that pic was meant to reel in clients I suspect it failed. Doesn't take a marketing genius to know good pics--even old ones--are what you use to get the attention of potential clients. :-\
Does anyone know what Quinn did for a living? (personal training does not count). I still have a hard time imagining why someone who was in so many glossy magazine spreads could end up so broke as to beg for handouts in such a public fashion? And why didn't he keep himself up if he was serious about trying to train clients? In his later pics he looked like he was well on his way to becoming fat.

Wasn't he a "body guard" for boxer Vinny Pazienza?

I will credit "bodyguard" as a real job... but only if it were preceded by official training in executive protection: use of firearms, physical combat, surveillance, etc. That requires a level discipline for it to be real. Did Quinn have that or did he just show up as a short big dude and "intimidate" people? His sister saw this as a virtue.
"As far as us Quinn girls nobody bother us, he was the protector along with his other big gym buddies. We were the "Mighty" Mike Quinn sisters. I don't think anyone even knew our name lol. He enjoyed intimidating our boyfriends..." ::)

Quinn would have been more intimidating if he had a real job… owned a gym… owned a home… a vehicle… could pay for his own health insurance... and didn't need to beg for handouts on gofundme. I understand a sister loving her brother... but it appears ambition and follow through were not family values in the Quinn household. Instead of turning to gofundme when he died wouldn't his sisters be more comforted by him leaving them a few hundred thousand dollars as a legacy?
Royalty needs to be pick better heroes. ::)

Are you serious? Say it isn't so! Just when I thought his life couldn't get more absurd you throw this out there? Who in her right mind agrees to be the third, fourth, or fifth wife of a broke bodybuilder? ???

There was an article in a muscle mag many years ago on Quinn and he was talking about how he had just gotten married for the 4th time (if I remember right). His new wife was from Alabama and he moved there with her.
Another article came out not long after where he was talking about his recent divorce. I just assumed he probably got married at least once before he died. ;D

HN:
Thanks for the factoid; it adds to the poor narrative that was Quinn’s arc. I can see why he would want to marry (housing, a cook, etc.) but what in the world would a well adjusted woman see in Quinn? What did he bring to the table? Public begging does not suggest he was a person of any accomplishment or a solid provider. Let me guess… they married for love? :-*

You are a very sophisticated individual Bay, most bbers don't think like that, Quinn is a fine example of what a common bber is. Narcissistic, self absorbed, addict, no health insurance, no real job or income, no future plans, just live in the moment, marry a women who can cook, clean, stick syringes in your ass, and that’s a winner in a bbers mind
Of course there’s exceptions, but bbing isn’t a respected “profession.” Filled with scum bags, drug dealers, addicts, losers are the norm

Quinn was mentally unstable and never had a "proper" job.
All things considered he did pretty well.
-
marry a women who can cook, clean, stick syringes in your ass
you could do worse.

She looked like a country girl and very strange that she was with him. I think she may have had money so he may have been mooching. In the later article he mentioned how out of place he was living in Alabama.

Quinn's life appears to be a case study in what NOT to do. Four marriages. No home. No equity. WTF was he doing for the last 30 years?
I hope the young wannabes are paying attention. He pumped up as a young man and was regularly featured in glossy magazines for 15 minutes, but where exactly did that get him? If the last phase of your life sees you (or your family) on gofundme begging the public for money you're not a champion... you're a loser: Quinn, L. Priest, B. Kazmier, D. Bourlet, etc. :'(

Your hero is dead and he died a loser literally begging for money on gofundme. Even when he was gone his family continued his behavior begging for money to bury him. You bet on the wrong horse. Change your ways or you may follow Quinn. ::)

Just one event he did within that 30 years I heard about. Made a nice stash on a sale (questionable livelihood to begin with) and then went out and blew the ENTIRE amount on strippers (stupid)
-
Mike lived with his parents off and on, and at the end. I know he made some money personal training and pitching low level fitness things - homeopathic supps, breathing aids, etc.... He also used to pitch that he wanted to make a film or book about his life, sort of a rough around the edges kid makes good story with some mob and wild times tales added in.
I'm not sure how true it is, but a couple of folks that claimed to know him down in Florida thought he was bi-polar. Periods of extreme happiness, then periods where he was blank to the world.

Tough for these guys to go from the party, free spirit lifestyle with easy money in their 20's and 30's to flipping the switch and becoming a normal working adult in their 40's and 50's.

1980 Arnold VS 1981 Quinn (Teen)
-
Quinn is Triumphant once more
-
Quinn had some good body parts like the back and biceps. He really had to starve going into contests to get ripped and lost a lot of size. His conditioning hurt him the most but he was a good journeyman pro. Arnold is part of the Mount Rushmore of bodybuilding (Arnold, Haney, Dorian, Ronnie),and could have kept winning from 1976-1982. Honorable mentions going to Heath, Cutler, Oliva.
-
he was bang on here
Looked great at around 204lbs - would be 212 olympia competitor nowadays!!
He got 6th place in his Olympia debut.
He placed 7th the following year. M. Quinn was very popular, which is why he was a prime pick for the World Bodybuilding Federation (WBF).
