Pure illusion, Arnold himself said he had a wide waist...
Anybody, dieted down, and inhaling can get that look.
Arnold was a Master at hiding his "flaws" and making himself look better, plus the photogs were "Weider Propaganda" employs...always snapping the pic at the right angle, the right inhale, the right time.

You don't get there with "pure illusion" and propaganda. Even at his worst 1980 he looked better next to all his competitors. The man was a 7 time Mister Olympia.


Quit struggling with it it...

Yeah, choose two exercises to show example that always result in the waist "sucking in".  ::)

Arnold's waist was WIDE, but as was said, he was great at hiding his flaws (twisting his hips on front shots, etc.). However, he didn't have an overgrown belly, that's true.

Uh, I ain't arguing his track record...there is a pic of him in yellow trunks with that blonde lady who was stripping for Jesus...his waist is wide, he said it in his Encylopedia of bbing, and he said that's why he did all those twisting shots...
If you've read the Encylopedia, you'd know it...

No one said anything about getting there on pure illusion and propaganda,
but many of the training shots were just that...

It's what bbing advertising is based off of, from the Charles Atlas sand kicking to the Musclemag "add two inches to your arms like the Pros", to "I can ear anything and lose weight!"
To the Musclemag covers of bbers with beautiful women draped over their shoulders...

Relative to who he was competing with, which was smaller lighter guys. his claimed waist measurement at his best was 34" ( which Jay claims LMFAO ) and you can believe it

Here is his waist dead on and it's relatively wide but small and his back width give him a great v-taper even with the ' wide ' waist and from the side it was tiny

Waist sizes are laughably underestimated by todays pro's. Even guys like Toney Freeman I'd guess at 34"

Jay and Ronnie are well over 40". Claiming a sub 30" waist is like claiming 25" arms. Fairytale.

The perfect example of a bodybuilder who overcame his wide waist was dorian yates, with his monster back he made his waist look small.

I think Arnolds dollar-to-waist ratio is more relevant.....

I dont like to compare bodybuilders of different era's.  When Arnold was competitive, bodybuilding was still attainable.  Now, its a mess thanks to the internet and insane drugs.  

Flex had a great physique, but he didn't make the impact Arnold did...point taken.

LOL I like these little guys who try to criticize Arnold.  If they ever saw him in real life, they would be the first ones to drop to their knees..
