i love how wes thinks that what he saw in pumping iron is exactly real life, like all arnold did was workout and hang out with bodybuilders and go to restaurants and the beach, man you are fucking clueless wes
You know nothing about me other than what I post.

I live in reality and I know these guys were human with human problems,but when young and doing exactly what you want for the most part,it can`t be all that bad.

As far as being clueless goes..I forgot more shit than you`ll ever possibly be able to garner in your life.

Before I write the next post let me answer this first............not all the time but yes, most of the time it was like that. I trained there during those times (not the original but the second golds). Training sessions didn't last 45mins but rather 1-1/2 hours usually twice per day. They (we) trained 6 days per week. It was literally eat, sleep and train. There was camaraderie back then, most gyms back then had family atmosphere (they were the family) and damn near everyone trained hard and I mean fucking HARD. So unless you were actually there....STFU! 


Thank you Joe...............from a real bodybuilder who was there at the time!!

bodybuilding going mainstream was not really a good thing, now all the gyms have turned into pussies and filled with skinny twinks who think they are the shit,  they will drop their money on personal training so that counts for something i guess.

Many youngsters have zero patience. They want a muscular body in no time, just for the image. They lack the willpower to train hard and consistend. I feel sorry for them, when I hear them talking about supplements or gear, while they don't know shit about good nutrition and proper training. They need education!

Everyone should look hard at the gym pics, not the bodybuilder but the inside the old gym pics. This is the type of equipment that help create thick and powerful looking physiques. None of the fancy bullshit you see today that makes training easy. You see a lat pull down, seated row, a calf machine an old school leg extension and leg presses back then were 90 degree leg presses.


This is one of the best threads on here to date regarding bodybuilding. I guaranty very few pros of today would be able to handle the training back then. As as matter of fact because of the equipment used today (more machines than actual free weight) they would easily injure themselves.

Tons of guys ask me all the time what supplements I take.......I ask them what their current diet is and I have to tell them to nail their nutrition first and then worry about buying bogus supplements.

Most of the time (99%) they are eating total shit 3 X a day  with no regard for how much of each macro they need or are ingesting.

I know some are newbies and I try to offer advice,but some of these idiots have been training forever.
