Arnold was very strong, 365 pound bench for a couple of reps, 400 pound squats and 300 pound bb rows, very good strength for the time.

When was this, in his teens or middle to late twenties? And what weight do you think, 250lb?

those were his real lifts in his prime whether you want to accept it or not.

I'm not saying they weren't what I mean is what do you consider his prime?

Wow...good bench, but he never went any heavier than that? You'd never hear much about his poundages, or about his REAL nutrition programs, at that...

a 365 bench is very good for most anyone and he ate a lot of eggs, milk, beef, chicken and all the staples back then.

Exactly, theres a lot of discussion, some are rediculous, 500lb bench, ''I wouldnt put it past him'', and other crap etc, what I would like see is some info on his real lifts, theres a bit about his routines.

the only thing Arnold ever did with a 500 pound bench was watch someone else do one or read about one.

I dunno man, I mean it's possible, he could of been very watery and bulked so I wouldn't put it past him!!!! I've done near that for a couple of reps, so I don't have any problems with Arnold doing it!!!!  ;D
::) got any proof of your monster bench or was your camera broken too?

Pollux again comes through  8) I'd bet that anything that Pollux doesn't know about Arnold is not worth knowing.

Pollux, after all the pictures I've seen, I feel Arnold's best combo of size and shape was at the 74 Olympia. Even his legs were much bigger and all around he looked fuller and thicker, with good cuts, than ever before. Would you agree?

Well, through pictures, I've only seen Arnold do a 385 lbs. bench and 319 lbs. bent-over barbell rows.
