NEW ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER COVER -- DOES IT LOOK SHADY???

[deadlift]

Perhaps this will make it clearer. I've brightened the original image -- no other changes (yes, it IS the original). It should be obvious that the size and SHAPE of the muscles has actually changed -- the bottom of the pecs have been dragged down and the right arm has been bloated and the biceps and triceps dragged down to look fuller and longer.

Anyway, draw your own conclusions. Seems clear to me.

Looks the same to me with the exception of puffing out his chest a bit and adding just a lil' *umph* into his lower bicep, as well as the tricep, near the elbow.

I don't see why they would feel the need to modify the pic. He looked great just the way he was.

absolutely dude, this is an example of how out of control our extremist culture has become. I feel sorry for young people that are being unindated with this kind of imagery and have no clue it is all computer generated.

I think it is time everyone start writing to these editors and tell them to stop lying to us. Stop feeding us bullshit!

Of course it was changed you freaks!  If they are going to change the eyes, they changed alot of other stuff.  Including his puffed out moon face and lips.  Sublte changes, but none the less, changes.

This says a lot about our perception and views when even The Greatest Bodybuilder of the 20th Century: Arnold Schwarzenegger needs a lil' touch-up for a magazine cover.

Says a lot about their willingness to bs us.  Maybe scribbler knew, maybe not.  This much is certain - he comes here as a salesman.

5 out of 10 Zanes.  Nice work deadlift.

If only the kids today could find out about how cool the 70's were for bodybuilding. They'd understand the sly look in his eyes and appreciate the photography skills of the time. Hell, do the kids of today even know Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder?

There's a zillion more pics they could have chosen of Arnold. Why they felt the need to choose one only to touch it up, albeit slightly, is amazing.

If neither are the orginal, how can either not be shopped? 

No, no. I meant that a scan of a picture of a copy of the original pic and a scna of the original pic. Both can get distorted. I meant neither that was used here was the actual 8x10 or the negative.

To have the "youth" wanna be just like him and push their bodies to the limit where they end up in the hospital? It's horrible how they try to "perfect" a human body in a pic that's already perfected in reality to its fullest potential but no its never good enough for the "media"

You're exactly right. It just floors me that of all the bodybuilders out there, even Arnold -- dubbed to have the most PERFECT body in the world -- would need a lil' touch-up.

I am telling you bro when they scanned the mag, because of its thickness, it distorted the pic a slight tiny bit. That is the reason why you cannot align the pics 100%.

How do you explain the eyes?

I already touched on that subject if you bothered to read my posts in this thread you would know!  rraaa

I think some people just like to skip over your posts.

This makes no sense. They are the most interesting posts on here.

They brightened and smoothed the picture out, but that hardly explains the extra size on his lower chest.

Exactly. Good post. They shouldn't have altered the expression. He looks like a robot....or a terminator now.

I agree with alexxx though, I don't believe the body was enhanced. It's the scanner.
