Arnold is back at the gym

[KSA]

[FREAKgeek]

Why does he always use that machine for biceps? Did he hurt his lower back?

[Fortress]

The comeback?

To what, look big again? What?

Arnold’s a legend, and deservedly so. But he never enjoyed training his lower body and now he’s so battered all he can do is wuss workouts on fancy-pants biceps and upper-back/chest machines.

Watching a video like the one featured is very sad.

The Oak’s pumping up his last remaining muscle group (biceps) while modernity rumbles all around him, duckface Instagramers walking to and fro, no mind for the royalty in their presence.

And worst of all, that royalty itself has lost the plot.

[SOMEPARTS]

He's already bigger than 99% of the population....and a lifetime success.

Only on getbig could there be a hater of this video, haha.

Age is a bitch but I'm not hating on him at 70. We will all lose a step, become irrelevant and die - but not have lived like Arnold has.

I used to hate that machine but it really does give you a good pump and keeps your elbows from doing the work.

Psychologists would say it's due to insecurities in ones self. It's a coping mechanism to deal with the persons own shortcomings and failures.

Maybe Dr. Freud but if you are trying to argue against a person's lifestyle I can think of worse cases.

Describes many getbiggers

Agree. They are easily identified.

Unless you have a goal to build or keep size you will atrophy. Many of the older guys have injuries or health issues. Still, Arnold is but a shadow of his former self.
Machines are probably better than free weights.

Not really the case, Arnold sold an image of a larger than life character,  and bodybuilders for the most part are narcissistic self centered individuals.   If it was a video of Robert de Niro or Al Pacino working out I don't think anyone would care if they look old or out of shape.   But for someone who became successful for his physical appearance, expect some reaction if he keeps exposing himself on social media at an older age.

Arnold looks like a menopausal lesbian.

Is that spunk stains ? 

[Board_SHERIF]

Is that spunk stains ? 

LOL...or grease.

[Griffith]

I find free weights to be far easier on my joints and the only injuries I've ever had have been with machines.

[FitnessFrenzy]

Is that spunk stains ? 

yes, but it is not his own semen.

[megafitness]

yes, but it is not his own semen.

Holy shit...

Nearly 71, Still training,  still got arms better than most,  had multiple injuries, 2 heart surgeries and people put him down, can only laugh.

Agreed.

"Arnold never liked training his legs..."- Jesus Christ who would care to even write such a fatuous and irrelevant comment.

[The Scott]

I'm guessing that the comeback being referred to is from the most recent surgery and not a return to the dais.


He's still a fucking libtardian now....  So to Hell with him.

[megafitness]

Agreed.

see a lot of pics of him cycling around. Enough for his legs along with some Basic gym work.

The bicep curl machine is great. I work my biceps on one almost every arm day and I've never injured my back. Setting the seat at the correct height is essential. There's a tendency for folks to place the seat too high.

That's because it makes it easier. No full extension
