Arnold at his massivest

[luvvsuNOT]

I love these Arnold threads, can never have enough of it.

I've seen all those pics a million times, and still I look at them with admiration each time again.

The greatest of all times. Youngsters who dare to compare him to today's physiques and talk down on him, only show that they don't know anything about bodybuilding. I've never met a serious bodybuilder who talked down on Arnold (except Mike Mentzer ;-)).

I'm glad Wes is always there to do the honors when it comes to Arnold ;-)

Mentzer criticized his training principles as not being optimal not Arnold as a bodybuilder. He considered Arnold a genetic marvel and was one of the first to propose the importance of genetics in bodybuilding. He said Arnold would have been Arnold even if he trained with rocks.

But it's true that no one is more important that Joe Weider and Arnold as far as the world of bodybuilding goes. Their synergistic relationship made history.

That looks shopped.
The greatest ever nonetheless.

Now that I have my glasses on, I can see the shopping.  Getting old sucks.

For starters,most guys back then mainly pinned only glutes..............now a huge go to site for pinning is delts.

I personally do not believe that site injections help,but over time they will impart more size and roundness to delts more than any other bodypart for some reason......possibly because they contain more receptors....I`m not sure.

Better pecs=full range of motion and 6-12 reps,not sloppy half reps or 1/4 reps with a zillion pounds for a triple in shitty form.

One more thing and I know this to be a fact is that those guys had more passion for training as money wasn`t a motivating factor....ie.,they trained harder because they lived for training not a check of $1000.00 which was the Olympia purse back then.

Has nothing to do with this imo... more to do with the fact that these guys would literally do tons and tons of various flyes... cable, dumbells whatever not just as a 'finisher' excercise but as a serious chest workout...and they would do it 3x a week too.... these days people WRONGLY focus on pressing movements which is PRIMARILY a front delt and tricep excercise.   Its no coincidence that my chest was utter shit relative to my delts too untill i did boat loads of flyes instead of pressing...

you want better pecs = DIPS AND PULL OVER in various form.

Bench press only in full rom and controlled reps.

er no.

Pullover is a lat exercise.

and if anything you should limit the rom with any form of presses to limit shoulder and tri activation...never lockout etc.

Simple answer: BENCH PRESS. Guys from the past did a lot of bench press (free weights). Today's guys use machines.

so your saying it's all arthur jones fault? you may have a point there.

Serratus and pecs, if you've ever done it hard you can feel it in the pec region as well.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Wes, do you think over time that sometimes the constant injections (of who knows what) will cause muscle necrosis or even Rhabdomyolysis?

Scott Steiners pecs are actually due to a wrestling accident where his trachea was torn and having surgery in 2007.  He likely didn't get implants because it would have been a waste of money at his age and just got a tattoo over it

hows all getbig wants to look

[tommywishbone]

Yes,they are diagrams of railroad cars.

Your prizes are speeding your way as we speak! 

To be more accurate, they are schematics for refrigerated rail cars.

Old guys sometimes know everything.
