Not that is an issue for either me or you, but can a chest be TOO big?

Looking at that new Flex cover, everybody applaud it and admired Arnolds Chest, someone even said it wasn't real... but my question is... can a chest be too big?

Same answer for arms, no.

Since esthetic grotesquerie is a given at this level of the sport, I guess it could only be too big if you kept toppling forward.

Can you ever use too much synthol? I mean, really.

Personally I think arms are much more important than chest. Besides, girls can be jealous on a big chest, they'll never be jealous on big arms!

I don't know. Maybe?

Jealous over chest. Most girls I know like arms and shoulders, but do like a thick chest but I'll admit it is a close second.

Disagreed. Arms can definitely be too big for the chest and shoulders. I don't ever see a similar comparison being drawn for chest, i.e the chest being too big shoulders, arms, etc. Only the reverse.

If you have a big chest and shit arms, you could look pretty dumb.

Arnold has the perfect build there, really no way to improve that. I wish I could look like that. Fucking genetics!

I definitely think that picture is photoshopped. There's the other famous shot of Arnie in a wife beater that's equally impressive, and real.

That flex picture of Arnold is so freakin fake! I almost wish to cancel my subscription if they sent me a cover lookin like that!

this is bodybuilding ....key word is proportion

any muscle group can be too big if the rest of the body is lagging

arnold did take huge amounts of aas , but imagine him on gh, slin and all the other shit that bbs take nowdays...and if he brought up his legs (which im sure he could)..guy would be a monster with bigger arms than ronnie.

that being said arnie looks better than alot of pros do nowdays. legs are too big in this day and age.

good point. thats why i feel indeed chest CAN be too big

but a lot of people seems to think that arms cant be too big, chest cant be too big, legs cant be too big etc etc

its all relative

Bluto · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:23:32 PM »

can we confirm that the actual cover has a photoshopped picture or arnold? thats pretty fucked up if theyre starting to do that. what will they think of next?

monstercalves · « **Reply #22 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:26:08 PM »

every bodybuilder has something that is too big and something that is to small

otherwise he would be perfect and not one bodybuilder yet has had no flaws...

the contest is about awarding the guy with the "least" flaws the title

It wasn't...that image came straight from Albert Busek...and he has no reason to photoshop a classic image of Arnold that he shot himself back in Arnold's heyday.

Everyone feel free to argue about other covers, but this has never been touched (except for changing the BG color to make him pop out more)
