arnold wasnt very strong was he and he didnt train very hard did he?

[Bluto]

thats what ive heard anyway correct me if im wrong

how much did he bench, deadlift and squat?

wasnt he more of a "pumper" ? he was in love with the pump

[KillerMonk]

In his Encyclopedia of BB there are photos of him Benching 4 plates and Squatting 5 plates

His routines for Advanced lifters are a bit outrageous, it woul take me nearly 4 hours to do his routine.

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

His numbers were 675 deadlift, 405 bench, and 455 squat.

Bluto, how long till 30,000 posts

[aleksandr1974]

sure he wasnt so strong like some getbiggers.
but in PUMPING IRON he perform concentration curls with 70 pound dumbell - pretty heavy for this exercise.

[monstercalves]

heavy weight low reps build muscle but some ppl can build muscle with lighter weight even if they are 6'2"

arnold was pretty strong...franco was stronger with some movements ......

but comparing arnold to strength freaks like JOJ and coleman, dorian etc.....theres no point


arnold used enough weight to build his body the way he wanted it, and enough weight to keep good form

i see too many pros with bad form and not going to complete failure .....although complete failure is not always the target...

yep arnold was defo a volume bodybuilder... i think i have taken this on board too much in the past and not went heavy enough or as heavy as i should have.....

[Bluto]

so he wasnt very strong was he? and he didnt train very hard did he?

he was no dorian thats for sure i think we all can agree on that cant we?

[JasonH]

Franco was miles stronger than Arnold.

so he wasnt very strong was he? and he didnt train very hard did he?

he was no dorian thats for sure i think we all can agree on that cant we?

suppose so....arnold was not extremely weak either ...think about the strength benefits of todays anabolics

Franco was miles stronger than Arnold.

he wasnt miles stronger than arnold .....the unusual thing about franco being stronger in the odd exercise was that he was 14 inches shorter....and a lot lighter......


but franco was indeed a strength freak

Arnold is a man who had muscles on his body.

That "pumping" got him 7 Olympia's

[Ursus]

His numbers were 675 deadlift, 405 bench, and 455 squat.

dead possibly correct.

no way he benched and squatted those numbers. For a couple of reps id say yes.

Hell im only a few lbs of his bench press.

[Team Diver]

Arnold = All pumping.

[Moosejay]

Where is Pollux when you need him?

Zane was a much stronger squatter than Big A

Groupies like Pollux aren't necessarily more knowledgeable.

I've never ever heard about Zane using substantial poundages; Waller for squats ya.

Arnold was intense in the gym and trained his ass off.

No need to squat 600 pounds if you`re not a powerlifter.

This theory about him training hard, can you substantiate that he did? So far i see no proof of it, but plenty evidence of long pumping sessions.

[turner98]

Someone build Bluto a time machine. There are some pictures floating about which are captioned 66xlb in one and 710lb in the other for the deadlift. Maybe Pollux can help here. Justin Harris does 315lb for 12 on incline on a youtube vid. I think Arnold could have done that 30-35 years ago at his peak strength and weight. Maybe Bluto could too if he stop living in past

Sounds pretty weak compared to Dorian.

Only people who don't know shit about lifting would think this.  Sorry to tell you but you have to train pretty hard to look like this.  No matter how much drugs.

[NarcissisticDeity]

Arnold is the man ! 

[JohnnyVegas]

That "pumping" got him 7   6 Olympia's

Sorry, you can't count 1980.

[Kegdrainer]

curling pic has to be fake.  The bar isnt even bending.  Plus, this is the same amount of weight he is deadlifting in the other pic.
