Anyone ever think about what Arnold might have looked like had he competed in the 1990's. I don't mean a man in his 40's. I mean an early-mid 1970's version of Arnold, but with the access to the 1990's drugs, equipment and training? How much weight do you think he could have gained?

Imagine a 1970's Arnold competing against Sandow in 1894?

Would The Arnold have replaced the Sandow as the biggest BB-trophy then?

I think he would have looked somewhat like Gunter....

I think Doz would have beaten his ass though, dont think his back/conditioning would be able to beat big Ron or diesel.

We can never know. Look how tiny these guys get when they come off modern gear cycles.

Before the first bodybuilding contest of 1901, Arnold would just poke himself together with Eugene Sandow in a room. And spend with him.. one night! The next day, Sandow would be ready to lose.

You need to bring Joe Weider to the equation too, without the need joe had in the 70's to push his products, I doubt Arnold would have done as good as he did back then, but top six material in the 90's for sure.

He would of looked like shit.

TrueGrit · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2013, 04:22:59 PM »

He would have needed the crazy legs. Back then, apart from platz, they had modest sized legs.

He'd look like Gunter. So, I'd sad he'd be around 290-315 pounds.

Really, you're comparing Gunther's genetics with Arnolds? I don't think so.

Can you picture Arnold weighing THAT MUCH? I'd say 280 max. He was tall, but even at his all time heaviest (offseason) he never went over 250-260 pounds and he was a monster at that weight (57" chest and 22" arms).

So, you're saying if Arnold put on 50 pounds + onto THIS frame he'd look like Gunther? lol

They both have the same wide waist. Also, Gunter did a commerical for a video game where he dressed up as a "barbarian", he was offseason and looked just like Arnold in terms of physique. Big chest, arms, wide waist.

Most pros all do the same things or at least reasonably close... So in the end the best responder / best genetics still wins. Arnold would more then likely still dominated if he was doing the same stuff they were all doing in the 90s or even today. Guys like him Ronnie Dorian... Same training and drugs (relatively) as everyone else... Just best genetics for muscle growth.

Same result he would beat the piss out of everyone.
