"I beleive that the sport and art of bodybuilding are overpopulated now with midgets, technicians and Hustlers, in only to make a buck instead of to locate the joy and pride I found there and let the bucks take care of themsleves."

says the guy that joe weider payed to lift weights and play on the beach while the rest of the bodybuilders featured in the magazines were screwed

I was browsing through old shit last night and stumbled upon this gem of a book. His point of view on the whole 1980 "incident" is quite remarkable and gives you a pretty cool flip side of the story.

I'll post more if anyone interested... he even covered G4P & co... pretty cool stuff straight from 1980 King Arnold Himself.

Good remark Mangoo but couldn't be more wrong;

from Franco: "6 years later after coming out of school and having started my practice, I stop by the beach and the same guys were still hanging and doing the same things, getting sun tanned and such. Like time stopped for them. I said: What are you guys waiting for Christmas"?

I think the only Olympians Arnold ever would/did have a problem defeating would be:

Oliva
Zane
Haney
Pre-gut Yates

Not Coleman (see the DB comparison of the two)

  Now wait for BayGay to chip in claiming that sentence is correct except that the midgets and technicians are also gay hustlers.
