Don't care for him that lean.

I think this was his best presentation ever in terms of mass and conditioning:







Must've been at least 250-260 there.

I'm the biggest Arnold fan out there, but no way was he pushing anywhere near 250. Probably around 230. He just looked big for his weight which you just don't see anymore.

In 1980, After 5 years break he came back leaner than ever ,  what drugs you think  he was on ? 


Looked great and very athletic.




WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

He ran several miles a day in the late 70's/early 80's, reducing his offseason bodyweight from 250-260 to 199 pounds. He slowly gained some of that back in the 80's, starting with Conan the Barbarian, but even during the filming of that movie he was between 212-220 pounds. He beefed up in 1984 to 240 pounds for The Terminator. He would never see that bodyweight again. By the early 1990's he was back down to 210-215 pounds. Today, a much shorter man (by close to 3"), I wonder was he weighs.

I find that hard to believe. I'm 225 and nowhere near as muscular as he was there. His lats and arms are fucking huge, and his legs weren't bad. C'mon man, he was a true 6' in that movie. No way he was less than 250-260.

Nope, he was 240 pounds for Terminator 1. I have the Flex magazine from December 1984, where he states he bulked up to 240 pounds for the role. For T2 he was 215 pounds.

He was very big in Twins (1989).

That's only 10lbs less than what I said. Reasonable guess on my part.

Anyone suggesting he's 225-30 is insane.

Safe to say he juiced until 1988 for roles.

He actually was bigger in The Running Man in 1987 than he was in Predator (I provided the pics above). He about as lean/cut in Predator as he was in Commando (1985).

  Iris Kyle


  She does not eat carbs and she does two hours of cardio every day


  She starves    she suffers  she is miserable



  Galeniko was right


So many people JUST DON'T KNOW what these competitors go through. I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's bitter-sweet.

When you are standing on that stage under the lights and you have gone meticulously and consistently through your contest prep THE WAY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO... it is what is called a "near death experience" ~ yes, you are elated, especially if you are in the top 5 (REGARDLESS OF WHAT SHOW YOU ARE DOING) and you feel like you are dying.

If you end up placing even higher than the Top 5, you get a rush of adrenaline. Now, where that comes from nobody knows. Is it stored somewhere? The drugs have already done their job. Maybe it's the last of a Vic or a Perc that you popped?

It's the one last shred of ANYTHING you have left in you.


I wonder how many here have seen committed bodybuilders during EVERY STEP of their contest prep? I'm talking the 3 cardio sessions a day, where maybe you are watching their kid for them (Female or Male contender) and then the workouts, the borrowing of the gym's refrigerator so that they can eat the measly little bit of Talapia and Broccoli that they might have. At this point, there is no rice, no sweet potato, no Oatmeal, which would be considered a HUGE TREAT at this time.

They look at you, you can see that haven't been sleeping. They are starving. They still push out their cardio sessions. Sometimes the cardio is continued with bloody nose, or only God knows what, and they push. Unstoppable.

Regulars in the gym don't know what to think. They don't understand what they are seeing.

All that work. All that time. They literally LIVE AT THE GYM...

and the rest of us sit back and go "Oh, it's the drugs... I could be just like that if I did the same thing..." LMAO



NO, you couldn't.


[rant][/end rant]


I have 3 competitors right now who are gasping from a National Qualifier. Anyone in California knows exactly which show I'm talking about.

two more smaller shows coming up....


You wanna talk about the reality of a plastic trophy here?


Anyone here know where I'm coming from (even though I'm going off???) lol ~
