Arnold & Dorian

[agenda21nwo]

Are they friends?  Do they get along?  Are there any stories about them talking to each other or hanging out together etc etc?

[smoothasf]

They did not speak, Arnold said once he ruined the aesthetics of bodybuilding.

[Dr.J]

Good question mate.

[Royalty]

Arnold did not speak highly of Dorian (in a Flex Magazine interview)

[Pet shop boys]

Arnold only had two friends in bodybuilding Franco and Jusup Wilkosz.


the rest were nothing but stepping stones  and followers ...
He did not care about their opinions .....

When he came to California, he wanted Dave "The blond Bomber" out of the pic, so he started hanging,training, doing adds next to the poster boy at the time, until he finally took his place ....

Barracuda mode since day one thats Arnold .... He could care less about Dorian,Haney,Ronnie etc...   lol

Only Sergio and Serge were respected by Arnold.


WooOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  BeyeKe

[The Grim Lifter]

Arnold is very insecure that Dorian was a much better bodybuilder than him hence what he said in the 1997 FLEX article

[Iceman1981]

Arnold ripped on Dorian that Dorian would win, go back to England and would not do anything else for bodybuilding. When you think of it, Arnold is kind of right.

[Alucard]

Many guys are right here, there are various reasons why Arnold didn't like Yates... One also is because Yates never did an ASC...

What about Ralph "the shadow" Moeller?

[Donny]

What about Ralph "the shadow" Moeller?

He did say on German TV Arnold helped him.

[efirkey]

What about Ed Corney?  Weren't Arnold and Ed training partners for a time?

[Simple Simon]

I think Arnold once announced Dorian as "Dorian Yates" when he was in the audience, he announced other Olympia winners who were there as Mr Olympia along with their names.

[hench]

Arnold said yates wasnt a good spokesman for bodybuilding. He also said that bodybuilders at the time looked ridiculous wearing baggy clown pants

[Shockwave]

Arnold also stated that Dorian "Has no arms and the belly of a cow".

I think there is a Mentzer connection as well that everyone forgets... Arnold was not a big fan of Mentzers ideas/style of bodybuilding, and Dorian represented that in a way, only to the extreme. (Also he was a fan of Mentzers ideas)

Arnold did not like Mentzers build, also commenting on his stomach and arms... So it wouldn't surprise me if he connected the 2 of them together.

But at the time Arnold was Training at Golds, they were considerd Sub culture and Freaks. Go across to Raw Iron Forum And ask Ken . only guy who really knows the truth.. he owned Golds gym. He is the only Guy who knows.
