The health price I pay for being huge

These lame gimmicks are ruining the board.

What do you find to be so special about Arnold's genetics?Horrible triceps, lats, waist, quads and calfs. Lou Ferrigno, Ronnie Coleman, Markus Ruhl are three names that come to mind that have better genetics than Arnold. Arnold was a shrewd marketer and a damn hard worker. But mediocre in genetics.

Err...dude :\  Arnold's calves were amazing.  His quads weren't stupidly gigantic like these fuckers waddling around today, but they had crazy separation and were plenty big for his day.  His waist/abs weren't the best, but horrible?  LOL.  His triceps only lag in a comparative sense.  Ironically, you say Ruehl has better genetics, but his biceps/triceps balance is waaay askew vs. Arnold's (to say nothing of Coleman's own overpowering biceps *or* Ronnie and Markus' overblown guts).

As for lats...zwha?  AS's lats practically inserted into his fucking hips :roll:

There are bodybuilders with better genetics, but they're nowhere near as common as you insinuated.

P.S. -- Pointing out that modern training methods are so much better, which I find dubious at best, and/or the superiority of modern "supplements" flies in the face of this "Arnold's genes suck" claim.  Do I have to explain how contradictory that is?  If anything, the lack of supplementation and gross overtraining common in the 70s only reinforces how Arnold's genetics helped him become a champion.

Do the right thing, Ron.

Let's get him out of here.

Nip it in the bud.

FUCK OFF!

[Disgusted]

Yep there are plenty of guys walking around with a better build than this guy.

[polychronopolous]

FUCK OFF!

And the same goes right back to you.

Just to preface this I am a life long natural. Through arduous study and experimentation along with fastidious record keeping of the results I have, over the years, developed exercise, dietary and supplement protocols with which I have managed to become a huge bodybuilder. A conversation for another time? Right now I would like to give a snapshot as to what I go through medically to carry this much size:
1.Sleep Apnea. I'm chained to a CPAP machine every night of my life. So I don't die.
2. Cholesterol. Daily dosage of Lipitor
3. Hypertension. Losartan and Metropolol daily.
4. GERD. Prilosec every 12 hours
You may think I'm obese to be on such a regimen. I'm not. I'm walking around 260 lbs at 8% BF. Ironically, my physician said: "you're a walking cardiac time bomb. And I would give my left nut to look like you."

I thought you have better genes that Arnold? I believe he did have any of those things. Sounds like you're falling apart? Come on gimmick, keep your story straight.

[Rascal full]

Vince Goodrum, patting himself on the back. Pathetic.

You are truly clueless! Every guess you take is wrong. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

FUCK OFF!

Having better genetics and Arnold isn't exactly a tremendous feat. He had a few standout body parts such as chest and biceps however if you were to compare his back to let's say even though top five competitors in his era you would see he has quite a few areas where he was lacking. Somebody had already mentioned triceps and if you compare his back to even Franco's or lou's Arnold would come in last perhaps even to Dave Draper. Arnold did have a small waist however his abs or never that great, his shoulders weren't exceptionally wide and his traps never popped up  like others in his era  like Franco ,  and they kind of sloped down to his shoulders from his neck.

I don't agree. It was Arnold that showed the others how they were lacking.

LOL.

You're not the only one disgusted with his comments.

I will tell you.

The difference is, steroid induced muscles are FAKE. They are attached to weak minded men who have severe bigorexia problems and shrunken testicles. They are ladyboys with their gyno induced lactating breasts. These muscles are ILLEGAL muscles created in dirty bathtubs and basements of the delinquent. They are vile, ugly, useless and expensive full of UNKNOWN dirty chemicals.

If said users are using Pharma Grade quality, then most of this still applies minus the dirty bathtubs and unknown parts.


NATURAL MUSCLES are beautiful, admirable and the effort of strong minded men with excellent work habits. Year after year, eating well, training hard, lifting HEAVY followed by HYPERTROPHY REPS. They are the true beasts in the weightlifting community. It takes 15 years to become strong and chiseled like a sculpture. They are the real adonis, gods among men. Full testicles, non-lactating tits and heads full of hair.

That my friend is the difference. I am 5 10, 220 pounds at 9% bodyfat all NATURAL. 390 lb Bench, 700 lb Deadlift and 650 lb Squat. Forged over 15 years. Never drank, never smoked and never fucked a woman in my life. I have however penetrated many dirty steroid users raw, bareback.

and when you stop lifting you go back to your genetic normal size within 6 months.

That goes for natty and enhanced.

The gifted gimmick has left the building, I wonder why
