That's pretty light weight for a guy who stood at least 6'1", considering he was as heavy as 252 pounds in 1971.

Yeah, 208 seems insane. I'm Arnold's height and about 240, and he's about a million times bigger than me!

1- Joe wants to get Bodybuilding in to the Olympics

2-Ben (RIP) said that there was no steroids under the IFBB umbrella.

I asked Bob who was more delusional...

Arnold was smaller that year, yet he was his leanest ever and the biggest one on stage ! WTF?
