In Ronnie's case probably spinal surgery

Plus sticking a big fucking needle into the delts and arms five times a day is eventually going to sever nerves that innervate those muscles.

yeah joint issues which indirectly lead to nerve damage, cant feel the muscles nomore etc.

degradation of tendons is another factor.


but first and foremost age.

nobody trains to that level, if everyone did, 99%population would have at least the same problems by that age

Even if he lived to be an old man I just always assumed Ron would take at least 20s all the way to the grave.

Age doesn't explain rapid atrophy. Injuries such as torn muscles or damaged connective tissue that make training painful are the more likely explanations. Long term non-training caused most of Arnold's atrophy.

I bet it has something to do with the drugs they have taken causing Rhabdomyolysis.

It's ironic that a guy who picks up a weight for the first time in his life at 40 years old could end up looking better than Ronnie at 50.  If you plan on training for several decades, you need to pace yourself.

This. Waiting too long to have his spinal issues corrected. Irreversible nerve damage and all that entails, including tricep atrophy

You're 100% right, he was OK until his last movies in late 1990's, but after that he was obsessed with Motorcycles (he had a few bad spills) and smoking Cigars, and during his political period he didn't lift at all...

Eventually, all our arms will shrink beyond recognition, as we grow older and shrivel up
