Would a 20 year old Arnold make it through the NPC ranks holding this physique the way it was?

Not dry/cut enough and too small legs.

As much as I LOVE Arnold, I concur.

No way - looks way too athletic and well proportioned... cattle-breed physiques of today would "destroy" him...

Yep - Arnold is the man, but in today's crazy bodybuilding world he wouldn't have amounted to much - especially with those legs at that age. $:-\$

with better condition, yes. Dont forget Ahnold is not a midget, so he would crush a lot of people just because of his stage presence

Dumb question. How can you compare anything from 40 years ago with today. Would the cars at Indy from 40 years ago beat the cars of today? Would the guy who won the 100 meters beat the guys of today?

No. He probably wouldn't place but then again it depends on who els shows up. He'd be a heavyweight and the heavyweight class in most states and most shows maybe only have 4-5 guys and 2 of them should of really been light-heavyweights but they failed to diet down right.

Mr. Magoo · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2009, 09:43:57 AM »

he'd make it to the Nationals easily. Then after a year or so layoff, he'd win. Then people would advise him to take a couple of years off to bring the legs up.

I'd say a 20 year old Arnold looking the way he does in these pics would carry him to a state title, at most.

It's a hypothetical question, bonehead. Have fun and run with it.

Would be a quite a feat if he could wouldn't it?

I got better legs than him... so he probably would not be competitive in today's bodybuilding.
