Even Branch has better forearms

what was really impressive about arnold beside his build was his ability to look like he does in the picture above(slimmed down) n then 3 months later look like he does when he wins the olympia,super jacked. his body responds to drugs n training at a super freaky rate imo, kinda like levrone in that sense

This seems a smart strategy; give your receptors and organs plenty of rest and once it's game time, then BOOOM with the food, training & gear.
Phil Heath and Flex Wheeler (at least in the beginning of his career) did the same.

True.  Arnold had it all.  Mentzer could have but allowed his ego to take him out whereas the Oak's mind carried him past any and all obstacles. I still prefer Mike's method of training but cannot take the resultant muscle and joint pain that lasts (with me) for over a week at a time. 

Like Steve Reeves before him, Arnold is a rarity in this world.

In his peak they had more detail, inspired by his losses to Frank, but a true thick sweep? Never
Arnold is biceps, calves, chest & clavicles, the rest is average to poor.

Arnolds back average to poor? Come on it blew everyone out of the water on stage and even today he has detail and xmas tree deleopment cutler etc could only dream about.
lats were wide and inserted crazy low, he never mastered hitting the rls though. Looked better lats flared from the rear with arms down to his side.

Arnold had a wide back, but that's not good enough to call it a great back (lack of striations, like Robby Robinson/Frank Zane & Mike Mentzer had).
However, for someone being that tall, he had a pretty decent back, mass-wise.

No friend, I'm too old to act like a troll. I just share my unpopular view and no one can stop me.
