Arnolds legs would be massive on todays drugs. Have you ever seen Dave P legs when he was a cross country runner, then got on the juice and bingo huge legs.

They would be more massive, but truly massive? No, I doubt it for the simple fact that Arnold is pretty tall. Plenty of 5'5-5'7 212 guys with the same thickness, if not even thicker (and more vascular). We can mock on short guys like Palumbo, but their length is in their advantage on stage. I've never seen a tall (+6') guy with great legs, maybe Toney Freeman excluded.

I've said this before but it bears repeating.

The measurement of both of your thighs should equal that of your chest.

Your arms, calves and neck should measure the same.  This is how it was done and should still be done. 
Arnold had 28.5 inch thighs and a 57 inch chest.  That's correct.  His arms were 22.5 inches and his calves 20.5 inches being close to symmetrical in size.  I have no idea about the Oak's neck measurement but do recall him having a waist of 34 inches.

Stupid big legs with hamstrings and quads that are overblown are comical.  So is an ass that requires a backup beeper, striated or not.   So is having a 60 inch chest over a 48 inch (or more) waistline that resembles the shell of a giant tortoise. 

John called these guys of today muscularly obese.  He was right.

Yes! It's about proportion, atleast should be.

Actually arms are often too big for torso too but less people care or notice.

Arnold didn't have 20.5 inch calves.  C'mon.

Which is a good length for a bodybuilder. Once you're 6' or taller it becomes much harder to build thick legs.
Arnold did the best that he could, maybe minus the running.

His calves are not 20" in that pic.  20" calves are enormous calves.   In the picture, compare his calves to the circumference of his arms and his head.  When you're talking 20 + inch calves, you are in Yates, Dillett territory.  Arnold's calves are in line with Steve Reeves, which is about 18.5".  And an 18.5" muscular calf is still a big calf muscle obviously.

Good call, he was almost 6'1 and his tight waist/full muscle bellies were in his advantage.

Have to agree with Rudee here, in my opinion Arnold had about 19" calves, shredded, not more... Same for his arms, probably 20" at his biggest on stage, ripped, 22.5" is a bad joke... Yes, he had obviously amazing proportions...

But,,I think a prime Sergio or even Serge on 90s Ronnie Coleman cycles would destroy Ronnie. Particularly Sergio.

Sergio would of been bigger than Ronnie if he lived in the insulin age. Notice how Lord Arnold is standing closer.
