Excellent. Always cool to see rare Arnold shots.

I knew some people on here would appreciate 'em, like GoneAway and Moosejay.

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

Tru dat!

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?

Absolutely! But my favorite condition of Arnold was at the '73 Olympia.

Wag Bennett and Arnold in front of Wag's gym then...

And what it looks like today...

Moosejay · « **Reply #29 on:** April 12, 2008, 06:02:05 PM »

Yes, Pollux...much appreciated.

Wag's Gym...I like the lamp. It's still a gym???

The area where the famous posing session took place as seen on the DVD Arnold: The Early Years...

Yes, it's still a gym, and apparently STILL looks the same from the inside from when Arnold trained there!

Wag did expand it a bit though.

Pollux...about a year ago I read in MM or some other mag about Kurt Marnul selling some of the actual equipment Arnold starting his training on.

It apparently went to a gym or museum in another country...you remember the details?

Marnul had a cheesy car with blown up photographs of him and Arnold from 40 years ago painted/embossed on it....

I know what you're talking about. It was FLEX magazine July 2007 issue.

In a nutshell...Kurt sold the equipments as well as old photographs and training notebooks for $66,000.00 to a man who says he was gonna store them in a Schwarzenegger-like museum in Romania. Kurt sold to be able to buy modern machines.

Thanks, Pollux

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

On the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson years ago Arnold stated his best lifts for bench squat and maybe dead, someone should see if it is on Youtube.....

He said his best bench was 540#, and with his chest that is very believable.

Too bad Marnul could not hold on to them....I would have.

Thanks again.

I could see why Kurt would get rid of them, but damn! These are the very machines that Arnold used when he was an "acorn".

it's quite amazing how many connections and how much exposure Arnold was getting from as early as '65 and '66. the guy obviously had something special mentally and physically to attract 'buyers' so to speak, of which they would use him to their benefit and vice verca. Wag, Weiders, Park, who else?

I was thinking the same thing. From the moment he started lifting weights, they obviously say something special in Arnold for him to have so much exposure starting with Albert Busek's Kraft Sport Revue.

There are just so many very, very early pictures of Arnold!

Are you aware that "Pollux" is one of the famous stars in the constellation of Gemini?
