I'd say 73 or 74.

Alexxx probably has pics...I can't find any dated ones.

Anyone with any depth of knowledge knows that it's '73 OR '74. Not one specific year.

IMO these are his best shots, from '73.

No coincidence that he got into his best shape expecting Oliva to be there, assuming he'd lost in '72. Being scared's a great motivator. :D

Wrong. '74 or '73. One year bigger, the other more cut.

WRONG , 1974 the best of both worlds , size & cuts  ;)

If that's the case, then I'll settle on '74. For me, Arnold's legacy is about size.

That sounded incredibly gay, didn't it.  :-\

You are an idiot. No one with common sense can make such a definitive statement when he wasn't as sharp in '74. It's apples and oranges. Utter arrogance coupled with stupidity.

He wasn't as sharp? LMFAO he was 240 pounds and sharp as we ever was , 1974 was the best of both worlds , every word you type we gather how much you know and its NOT much  ;)

He looks much better in the pictures I posted. He is developed everywhere equally. Check out the veins in his shoulders, chest is thicker then ever and wheels are way ahead of their time. All time best stage physique Arnold 1973. (unless the pics I posted are 74)

I like him in 1973.  Definitely the biggest in 1974, though.

Arnold was freaking light years beyond everyone else..........if he had that kind of size and conditioning NOW no one would even come close................... ..but I'm sure the judges nowadays would find some way to screw it up, Arnold was best with everyone else a waaaaaay distant second!!

We already established in the previous Arnold thread all thing equal, ie mirror amounts of muscle mass on both Ronnie and Arnold, that Ronnie is crushed. Says a lot when you consider Ronnie at 225 had a lower body fat, had a smaller frame with more muscle, was over ten years Arnold's senior, had 20 years of training /diet knowledge as an advantage, and far better drugs.
