True. Arnold had the classic aesthetic thing going without being neither about symmetry or proportions. Even some of his die-hard fans admit he was all arms and pecs.

No. He was the smartest, the best at politics. Take that ouf the equation and he would have never got thos 7 'Os. But it's only fair that the smartest guy takes it.

Arnold was king, Dorian was......well let's just leave it at that.

Well, it's a matter of taste obviously, if you consider that as "perfect" more power to you.

Still, by todays judging standards, his arms are way too big for his delts, his bis are too big for his tris, his chest overpowers everything else anyway, and his legs are way too small for his upper body.

Dorian is awesome...I like his mentality towards the sport, his training principles and his no-nonsense attitude. If there was any bodybuilder I'd want to emulate it's Dorian.
That said he did not have the best physique. The best calves? Yes, Best front lat spread? Yes.  Best conditioning?  Yes.  Best work ethic?  Yes.


Arnold is overrated as a bodybuilder. Why?  Simple.  Everything he's done outside of bodybuilding.  He was Weider's cash cow and golden boy.  He was great no doubt especially for his time but not as great as he is portrayed.

no racist.

Overated..I thought you were objective enough not to fall into the typical "No white bodybuilder can be great" that your fellow predictable non-caucasians espouse. Please produce one pic of a bodybuilder from the 70's (this shot's from 74) that beats this. I can assure you, it doesn't exist. The 1973-74 versions of Arnold destroyed anyone in that time period.

If you reread what I wrote, I never said he wasn't great.  I said he was overrated.  He and Yates are great...Arnold is overrated as a bodybuilder.

Wiggs.
Youre black (inner whiteness notwithstanding)
You cant be racist.
Remember, only white people can be racist. (Or so says the US media)
 :D
Just kidding though.
I dont really think of Ahnold as overrrated, since he was like the Ronnie Coleman of his time. He may seem overrated to us NOW, but back then, how was he viewed? You rarely hear anyone that has anything negative to say about his physique, although Im sure there are some competitors back then that have some negative shit to say. (Jealousy Im sure)

If he's overrated, then that means there were bodybuilders that were better in his day. Again..show me someone who beats his peak years of 73 and 74.

Put him from the front and Nubret and Sergio are better, he is doing his classic hide his blocky waist quarter turn there.

Nothing to do with black or white Reeves, Benfatto, Paris had great structures. Arnold didn't.

Olivia was a way better BB than Arnold, anyone with halfway a clue knows that. Arnold was more marketable obviously tough, and that's what got him trophies.
