offseason arnold

[Coffeed]

Who woulda thought that one day he'd be cheating on a Kennedy with Mildred.

Hard work pays off I guess.

[Papper]

Eventhough Off-Season, Phil has some muscles on his frame ffs. He looks like a BB, Arnold looks like an Average Joe on these pics

Haha this comparison does phil no favors

Just shows arnold looking good while completely off, and being alpha about the whole thing. Knowing muscle is just one part of life. Tall, hair and good skin, no one can rag on that

Phil, "cruising" on a boat load of shyte, still managing to look like a puffy midget who's compensating for his complete insecurity - which is bigger than his physique. eyes look desperate, face unhealthy

[Svengoolie]

Phil looking like Lenny Jr there

compare phil to this guy from the 50's...who pretty much looked like this year round...

[hench]

exactly, here's another from the same year 1977, 2 years after competition so again not off season, retirement.

That's why old Arnold pics will always sell magazines

He simply has more pull than pure muscles. It's a look that portrays a masculine and healthy ideal.  And for bodybuilding to ever be put on mainstream channels again, you need more than muscles too sell it

[KSA]

Arnold abs was not his best body part but he looked healthier than today off season bodybuilders

[The_Punisher]

This is what a real lady's man looks like offseason!

and not a single fuck was giving to this tool crawling by the pool side...

[hench]

Yep, arnold in retirement condition in the pics in this thread and not even famous would get him much more attention.

Arnold got big in the offseason like in the 1974 mr southern hemisphere. These slim pics are confused with retirement time.
The pic laying on the beach is 1977 as is this one

but then look how much bigger he actually is next to an average guy and flexing

it's amazing what a few inches makes in the visual difference of arm size  

Arnies arms about 18 inches there, while the other dude most likely has 14 inch arms

so 4 inches make an incredible difference

it seems once a arm measures a legit 17 Iinches it looks MUCH BIGGER

That dude is George Butler, director of Pumping Iron.

arnold looks fat as a prize hog in the picture

[kevcat]

Eventhough Off-Season, Phil has some muscles on his frame ffs. He looks like a BB, Arnold looks like an Average Joe on these pics

Phil has fuckin pumped up backstage no doubt, with a ton of oil on his body, tensing for dear life. Arnold is relaxed at a beach. Great comparison pic 

[AusBB]

The craziest thing about Arnold being a bodybuilder back then was that he had a real job.

He did? Doing what exactly? Are you talking about his "Mail order business"? What products do you think were being sent out by mail back in the 70's?

But please, enlighten us, what company did Arnold work for  working his "real job"?

I think you'll find the closest he came to working a real job was hitting Joe Weider up for cash in between shows.

[TheOne]

Damn Phil looks like absolute shit compared to Arnold laying on the beach.  Much rather resemble Arnold than the Pillsbury Doughboy Heath

[Skeletor]

Cheath sporting the glazed donut look.

[Skylge]

compare phil to this guy from the 50's...who pretty much looked like this year round...

Steroids were available in the late fifties, so unlike that the guy on the cover looked like that all year round....

[SOMEPARTS]

Heath's chest doesn't look half bad there.

You got the half part right.

Average Joe? Do you get out much? In fact look at the "average Joe's" you see at the gym, whom are not average Joe's because they actually work out. But 90% look like shit and have saggy guts. Arnold looks robust and healthy here.

BTW, what do you look like? Ever posted a pic?

well said chief

most gym goers look MUCH WORSE than arnie there, and btw he isn't fat there, maybe 12 % tops

and do you also notice that the vast majority of gym goers look exactly.the fucking same 

at my gym the only peeps I've seen who made changes that thier bods were females

So what are you implying, that people these days have shitty genetics or their drugs are all bunk?

I'm talking bout normal people

either they have shit genetics or they are pussies who can't push themselves,  or their training programs suck ass

over the past 4 weeks I've dropped about 6% bodyfat

actually arnold did have a job. him and franco started a company called "pumping bricks". they did brick work based on "eureopen" designs and people believed it so they spent alot of money. lol he also worked for weider doing interviews and writing stories and posing for ads.  he would do almostt anything to make a buck. his mail order was clothes pics tshirts and courses.  he still has the same po box 1234  santa monica. believe it or not.

If you really think Arnold had a regular job in the 70s then I got a nice bridge for you to buy....

Even Ric Draison didn't work in the 70's - in one of his clips he said he worked ONE day with Columbo laying bricks and said fuck this! No word of him ever working with Arnold!

Dont forget Paul Graham doing time for Arnold over the car rebirthing racket.

Arnold has NEVER had a regular job unless you count the Army.

And Arnold's mail order business?? Lets just say it was sponsored by Ciba!! And Arnold's suitcases were FULL of "primo" product every time he got back from a trip to Austria....
