Good interview with Roger. A twist on the Mexico thing - maybe it's just an inside joke that we're not getting? Said for laughs but not being serious. Just a thought.
Thank you! I don't know if Roger was serious, he sounded serious about it when he said it. I think Ric Drasin said the same thing about Arnold's calves.
I think it's just a great angle. That, combined with Arnold being in tremendous shape. He put on a bit of extra size for the '74 Olympia.There are some more from around that time in the gym where he's posing and he clearly is bulked up but with trademark detail and definition.
Yeah, he sounded serious in virtually everything else he said. But maybe it's just one of those 'inside joke' things. "Oh yeah... Arnold got them done in Mexico... lol..."Second pic is 1971. In that 1980 pic, his calves look as big as ever and were definitely a standout bodypart in 1980. I agree with what you said that his calves were phenominal in 1970 and didn't change shape but I think they did get a bit bigger upto 1974, arguably at their biggest.This is a great pic, circa 1971 - 1975:
