IRON, those pictures that ARNIE 1947 posted were definitely from the '70s. Hard to tell exactly which year but probably '70 - '74. I think BSN said 1973 guest-posing in either France or Belgium.

U need to check Mr.International dates , organised in Columbus year after year !

There was also Mr.Azteca International (Sergio Oliva ) .Arnold was not posing.

Serge Nubret Mr.Olympia 74 , Paris trophy & stage looks different.

Nope, Ifbb Mr.International 1968 contest
(& different trophy )

I don’t know what year they are from - He would of been 21 in 1968
And he certainly never looked that good at 21.

They are likely to be from around 72/3/4 is my guess.

Can you link to the photo you're talking about as being the 1968 Mr. International?

Trying, I am not at home , no access to old magz.
Oliva was challenging Arnold 4 posedown at Azteca Mr.International , Joe W. was pissed & Franco accepted challenge .
Oliva took pro title & Belgian Pierre V.D. amateurs version.

Somewhere around 1969-71, world weightlifting federation organised Mr.Universe contest in East Berlin !.
Some say, Arnold was guest posing, others that he was competing & was 2nd

.
Older GB boy's could help !.

Back on gear:

That's probably the optimum use of PEDs. The late Dr. John Ziegler said it best- guys take way too much when a little would do.That's why he became disgusted with bodybuilders and weightlifters.

I see this very often - The more is Better attitude
There are many who believe it’s all down to how much they take
Plenty on here with that mindset.

Yup!

I knew plenty of guys in the 70s that took 3 dbol a day and experienced excellent results. They also stopped when not competing because they didn't want to die. From what I recall, Robbie Robinson tried to be "in shape" year round and they didn't work out too well for him as it was reported he had "congenital" heart problems for a while.

Today's guys are never off and they look it. It's been that way since the mid 80s, maybe even slightly before. I've seen Arnold and others from that time when they were "off". Looked like the rest of us and as Arnold's former American girlfriend in an article that was linked here awhile ago, she described it was like he had a hangover when he was off.

Here's the link:

With all medicine, there is an effective dose. People here use that stupid broscience term, "burned out receptors". Try burned out body instead. The guys at the original Gold's in the 70s told me they took steroids but they also were wary of overdoing it and so they took time away because no one really knew what would happen if you didn't.

Mike Mattazaroo does. Dallas McCarver does. I'd bet a lot of stupid gym rats do too. I know men my age that get HRT and they get just enough to make them feel better both physically and mentally. Common sense in bodybuilding is a freaking super power.

He's not been alpha in years. I'd say mid nineties onwards

I can't stand to even look and listen to him these days
