Arnold was 8 % on stage , no where near the conditon of the guys today..

230-235 pounds @ 8% at his best
8% at best??  ::)  He was easily leaner than 8%.   In 1975, I would estimate somewhere around 6-6.5% 6.5% - 7% ish  ;).

aside from his bi's... he really was kind of thin for a bb.



I believe that shot is from 1980, where he was lighter than usual.

Do you know what a genuine 6 % even looks like? not someone telling you they are 6% but genuine.

I estimated 6-6.5%.  6% could be on the low side, potentially. But if one were to say 6.5%-7%, that is hardly an outlandish estimate.  Arnold at his leanest was below 8%, that much is for certain.  8% isn't that hard to attain, at all.

Glutes and hams are perhaps not the best indicator of conditioning.  Hell, there are current competitors that get extremely lean, that are smooth in those areas.  8% is not really difficult to achieve.  I wouldn't suggest Arnold as having been as lean as today's standards, but he most certainly dipped below 8% at his very leanest.  He has cross striations in his chest, excellent quad separations and a Christmas tree on his lower back.  During earlier competitive years, he wasn't as lean, but in 1975 specifically, I would respectfully suggest his body fat was at least a little South of 8%.
