Most muscular and pec shot's from that era were unreal.i caught commando which is from 85 only about 5 years from last olympia ,seen it dozen times but he was in great shape for that movie,and also red heat smallish but ripped,and predator was in good shape and thick,in fact all three movies were in 1985 .

The only debate is which year was best, just a matter of taste. '73 he was lean and cut, '74 he was a little bigger/heavier.

'73 was his best, IMO:

He looks sick in the most muscular. Quads look proportionate to his upper body.

Excluding Pumping Iron, of course, my favorite is The Teminator.

Arnold was much smaller at the 80' Olympia, but his conditioning was better then the past

I don't know where you're getting that. His peak condition was '73-'75. Maybe it's time for glasses.

His best condition was '73, 1980 was at the end of the list.

For size '74.

First 2 pics are '73, last is '74.

Very well said. '73 for condition. '74 for added size.
