As much as I love Arnold, I can see why Chet Yorton won. The legs really hindered Arnold...

great pics. thanks pollux. arnold's quads were actually very big from the front, just not as diced as chet's. arnold was only 2/3 of what he would eventually become.

No problem, Goneaway. And yeah, Arnold did have some size on his legs, just not as cut...

Being that Arnold is roughly 16 in these pics, I can assume that Kurt Marnul took these photos.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Albert Busek, who took a shitload of Arnold pictures, didn't meet him till he was 18 at the Jr. Mr. Europe. So I'm assuming those photos are from Kurt as well.

That's amazing that at 16 his arm was already showing signs of the world-famous peak!

who wouldve thought with those pics that this guy would have the best physique of his time in a few years.genetically he looks very average, but sheer determination to be the best took him to the top.The best ever IMO!
