If Arnold was 20 years old today, would he choose pro bodybuilding?

[SF1900]

In terms of individual accomplishments, Arnold has accomplished more in diverse fields when compared to Trump.

Arnold's accomplishments:

1) Business
2) Politics
3) Bodybuilding/Fitness
4) Movie Star

Trump's accomplishments:

1) Business
2) Politics

Not to mention that Arnold came over from Austria and as an immigrant and made it.

On the other hand, Trump built an empire and is worth billions and probably acquired one of the most important jobs ever (President).

At this point, it's splitting hairs between who is more successful.

Both are successful in their own right.

Arnold is still Numero Uno when it comes to bodybuilding.

It just doesn't get better than this in terms of bodybuilding!!!!

He may not be eligible to become come president,...but he could become a Senator...

you know "charm" as well as i know rocket science,  creepy stalker upset because i don't like that dorian pic

oh and wannabe shooters like you all support trump, like i said projection

E

and you are right about the Dorian pic as well. 

[D.O.A.]

Because you replied to me, so I can reply to you. See how that works?

And, what's with the all caps? There's no need to shout your point if you have a good one.

Is that what you do? Go around much and tell everyone how they scream or use caps or exclamation points?!!
Hahaha! Trolling hard?.
You sound like Uranus after his genitals got cut of by Cronus.
Go on now Mr. MAGA balls deep.

[The Scott]

I don't think this could happen today simply because not only was Arnold right for the times, but the times were right for Arnold.  


Some eras if you will, are better than others and each has their own rising (and falling) star(s).   Across the time belt, others shine brighter and rightly so.  Insofar as bodybuilding, none have affected so many as did Arnold, not even Steve Reeves.   And certainly not Coleman, Haney, Dorian  and most definitley not the mighty midget, Phil.

True
Compared to Trump Arnold is like an successful artist.
Trump did great as well. Just like you said, no way about it.

Nothing in this spurious post was either readable nor made sense. You also quoted the wrong post, since I told you that you sounded feminine and hysterical in another one more recent than this one.

I'm going to assume the usual and you're nether_animal, which would explain both the misquotation and the poor grammar.

[Kwon3]

and you are right about the Dorian pic as well.  

What part? If you're going to piggyback on someone else's posts, at least have the courtesy to let the rest of us know what breakthroughs in perceptive reasoning and bodybuilder physique criticisms your unique insight into that conversation from 2 days ago allowed you to discover that we didn't.

Arnold will always be the greatest Bodybuilder. Always. Haney was the last of the great.
Dorian is responsible for all the crap that came after. That is a fact. Arnold said that and Dorian is still mad about it, today! (Joe Rogan interview).

Not what Arnold stated. Arnold commented on Dorian not doing enough to promote the sport that he wins the title and just takes back off to England. Also commented on bodybuilders at the time in general not dressing for success wearing gym gear all the time.

Care to elaborate or amplify on this statement? Not getting much substance from you in these posts; it seems to be mostly ad hominems and grade school name-calling all because I asked you why you overuse exclamation marks.

This guy has a serious problem with misquoting people. Arnold has never disrespected any bodybuilder on a public forum, let alone one that won the Olympia almost as many times as himself.

You are right  about that, he did say that as well as many other things. On Joe Rogan's podcast Dorian talks about it himself! I never heard it from Arnold's mouth but Dorians! Arnold blamed Dorian for ruining bodybuilding.

“Schwarzenegger attacked modern bodybuilding… and myself as the leader of modern bodybuilding.”

This interview was conducted in 2013 – but there was a small bit within the hour long interview that still holds interesting today.
Hahaha!  "Arnold attacked Dorian as the leader of modern bodybuilding"! 
I don't think its a complement either. I have to listen the entire podcast its 3 hours or something but I find it.

[Coach is Back!]

Arnold at his best would destroy the current crop of pros. The crowd would demand his victory standing side by side with these soft bloated champs.

Only if the judges allowed it.

If you're going to quote someone, learn to do it correctly. You can't even figure out how to use this message board, so why would anyone listen to links you post?

[Hypertrophy]

he would probably be deported from the US as an illegal immigrant

He came over on a visa and then became a US citiizen. So no.

dorians response is weak. Arnold was putting forth the argument that dorian is the guy who started the nonsense we see today with the all out pursuit of mass while having the waistline grow and grow, and well, is he wrong? Dorian WAS that guy towards the end of his career. They all followed in kind.

dorians response to that criticism is "u dont even know me bro!"  Love me some Yates, but come the fuck on what a weak counterargument.
