2015 Arnold Classic - Arnold not holding back - calls out the judges

[Royalty]

Sorry but one thing is to go to the beach and say hey that's a beautiful body " and another to go to a professional bodybuilding contest and say the same.......



I know what you did there Arnold, if you want to give a more honest example use Serge Nubret Bob Paris or Sergio Olivas physique next time. 




Wooosshhhhhhh Ego music is all about me " .

If he were to name those names... those legends..


He would also have to call out the names of the guys today that stand in stark contrast to those former greats.... guys like Branch Warren and Jose Raymond

[Parker]

Arnolds rant was similar to one of ed coans last month. No one will agree with me. But you know what. Theyre two has beens, that have resentment. What they've done has been eclipsed.
Instead of congratulations, they have resentment.
He criticized todays bb... he cant maintain to stay in shape himself. Maybe him and his morbidly obese son know whats best for bb? Lmao....
Bb is fine. The people upset dont compete, or do on low levels and cant win. So they get mad. Arnold said the crowd isnt happy. If cedric won there still would be upset fans. Its not bb, just the arnold dick riders....
Hes irrelevant... if he stopped showing up, no one would notice. The show would be there just with a different name....
Question, who did people flock to see more, dlb, piana, or arnold??

Musclemania today is what bodybuilding should be.

As far as DLB, Piana...they represent the epitome of today's attention starved populace. You mentioned Piana. He competed yet failed...and after that he allegedly went the PMMA route. Got tons of tats, and reinvented himself into some "hardcore icon"---he is a poser. He is not hardcore, but wants the image.
DLB won her contest with less than stellar legs---genetically flawed. Yet, her and her husband have made a killing on social media.


Arnold is what got many of us into bodybuilding. Arnold has far more influence on today's bodybuilding than DLB or Piana. Neither one of those should be in the same sentence as Arnold.

Is that bob chick up there with him?
I notice for once he keeps his mouth shut and has the common sense not to chime in when someone else is speaking

Arnold publicly stepped on Jim Manion's toes... and Chick got to witness it, up close & personal.

Hmmmmmmm , not really.....  Arnold is just being smarter than most ,while modern bodybuilding suggest that Arnold wasn't good/big enough to beat Ronnie in his prime...  Arnold says the "ideal physique" is Steve Reeve's someone who was way smaller than him.

1- Bob Paris was a better bodybuilder than Steve Reeves .

2- Serge and Sergio if not bigger were more aesthetic,with smaller waist and more balanced than Arnold....  are you with me ?




WoooSSSHHHHHH  Arnold music

[Joe Roark]

So, who is it that has the power at the Arnold to change who the judges are, or to change how they judge?

I hear you. But all of those guys that you mentioned are in the same boat... top guys, good genetics, legends.

PARIS was an incredible bber,,but at least in his day he best'bigger'guy one,who had the best frame/structure/waistline to hang muscle'haney'

[Cableguy]

Judges reward conditionned mass, that's why Branch gets good placing.
Benfatto would not even place today.

Branch shouldn't even place last, let alone even be aloud to walk on stage. Big gut, torn muscles, atrophied forearms. He's a fucking mess. The antithesis of what bodybuilding should be about. When Branch was at the national level, he actually looked good. But he ruined himself like the rest of them.

And yet he refuses to walk away from the "sport"

I think that guys like Branch are motivated to surpass Yates & Coleman

But Yates always had a V-Taper

To put them in the same sentence as Arnold is blasphemy.

Question, who did people flock to see more, dlb, piana, or arnold??

agree 100% except the last paragraph. DLB, Piana or Arnold?? Are you nuts? Arnold could/should sue you for defamation. Not knocking DLB or Piana, but Arnold is another level.

Had Cedric took 2nd & Branch 4th, there'd be more outrage from the fans who buy tickets & go to shows. They're the one's that matter, not the clowns on here who live on their keyboards & criticize regardless lol.
I'd rather look like Cedric than Branch, but Branch was better that night.  The same way I'd rather look like Flex, Shawn or Kevin instead of Dorian but 4 of his 6 titles, he was by far the better bodybuilder on the stage.

I pretty much had the order placings in line with what happened ,except I did not place branch IN TOP 5 LOL,,,i knew he would be there...

[smoothasf]

this is the peak, it all went downhill from here starting with Ronnie from these years on.  The gut should never be sacrificed for the rest to be bigger.

Yes!!! You did. It's like Branch has 9 lives, I knew he'd be in the top 5 but never thought he'd look that good.

I don't think that if Cedric was 2nd and Branch fourth that the fans would have been upset.
And I don't really see the "conditioning" that Branch brings. He lacks that high detailed, striated look. the only real striations that you may see are in a portion of his quads, and possibly hams and glutes. He looks like an over cooked piece of chicken. And his back is atrocious. He is missing forearms. His quads lack top to bottom separation. And he has a gut. Overall, his physique is in shambles. And they reward him for that. Which creates this delusion in his head that he belongs at the top.

Ronnie had a naturally small waist and hip structure. IMO, that's why he has the hip problems. The drugs allowed him to lift weights way too big for his frame.

He said the hip problems run in the family. His dad had his hips replaced as well. I also do suspect what you say as well. But, why would he be ok'd to train legs again?

Ronnie , like Flex was a natural ectomorph and once they pack on weight they tend to look like cartoons. His waist & hips were non-existent , to bad he blew his structure out along with his gut

[honest]

Most followers of modern bodybuilding support the current look as they themselves have structures that couldnt survive in previous eras and the mentality of the current crop isnt to train weak bodyparts 3 x per week its to take more mgs and ius. The sport still requires genetics, but the most important part of that genetic scope, is the genetic response to drugs and the ability to survive the high dosages required without side effects. They can have their sport.

He looks pretty amazing there.
