Author Topic: How good could Arnold get if he began SERIOUS lifting TODAY? (Read 2372 times)

Judging on his recent photos, he's about 200 pounds of flabbiness. If he began seriously working out again, how good of a condition could he get himself into? Anything close to his heyday?

Same goes for guys like Ferrigno, Yates, Haney, etc?

ferrignos still in pretty good shape for his age.

I'm sure he only casually lifts. I'm referring to these old-timers hitting the gym six days a week. What would Arnold, Haney, Ferrigno, Taylor, etc...look like today? Would they be competitive, or just a joke?

they should have an old timers competition, like they do in baseball

Considering he'll be 62 this year, not very good IMO - how many good 62 year-old bodybuilders do you know?

Then again, how many 62 year old bodybuilders were once THE BEST of ALL-TIME?

Hmmm...yes, but 62 years old is still 62 years old, irrespective of who you once were.

I understand what you're saying, but I was still just curious as to what his CURRENT potential could be? How good could he get TODAY at 62 years old?

LOL - He does not have an BB potential anymore. He is 62 with a couple of Heart ops and probably the joints of a old man.

I hope that when his term as governor is over, he will return to bodybuilding and compete again to give Dexter a run for his money.

Danimal77 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2009, 02:07:12 PM »

You guys are no fun. To say he has NO potential is just plain negative. There are MEN who are 60 in my gym and look GREAT for their age. Were they ever the best in the world? NO. Hence my question.

Don't worry about tools like "Method101," he's just angry that he's a skinny 6'2" 150lb twink with feminine 6 inch wrists, he hates everyone with better genetics than him. $:-\$

Here's a guy, Dave Draper, from Arnold's era who still lifts seriously.

Topskin69 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2009, 02:52:42 PM »

I should point out that Robbie Robbinson, (who still pops into Gold's Venice at times), looks great.

M!

Danimal77 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2009, 05:07:43 PM »

What about Arnold!? Thing is, seeing he hasn't seriously lifted weights since the early 90's, I'm sure he would not be able to achieve too much, unlike guys like Nubret, Robbinson, Ferrigno, Draper, etc..(who never really stopped).. Still curious.

Huge, ripped and still maintains a CLASSIC small waist.

Has a horrible big rib-cage and spindly bird tits, this "Draper" is surely the father of The True Anus?
