Author Topic: How did Art Atwood bring up his pecs??? (Read 7497 times)

Art went from having the world's worst chest genetics (hahahahaha "genetics")
to the world's best chest genetics (hahahahaha "genetics")

More proof that genetics mean f-all in bodybuilding.

Genetics is everything in bodybuilding. Art didn’t have them, but he was a hard worker.

Genetics in terms of proportions and response to AAS. Milos has said time and time again Flex had the best of both.

What killed him was a combination of gear and rec drugs. He was big into rec drugs

He was big in person, 5’11 and 300 pounds walking around

Having a heart attack and falling into the pool isn’t a pleasant way of dying, if the pool wasn’t there for him to fall into, there’s a slight chance he’ll be alive

What does that have to do with -> how did he build his chest?

Roland would have wrecked Attwood

What does that have to do with -> how did Atwood build his chest?

So what you're telling me is..

He went from being huge all over - except his chest
to being huge all over
because - steroids?

NoPEDsNoBB:

I have no muscle fiber density in my chest, and my biceps are short.

I think bodybuilders have a higher concentration of muscle fiber cells. Without gear, those cells wouldn't expand very much though.

So yes, I think bodybuilding is basically all drugs. But pros tend to have a bit more potential in that they have more muscle cells.

I have no chest muscle. Not much anyway. I can't grow what I don't have.

You do and you can.
There is something you are doing incorrectly. Find out what (like Art did) and your pecs shall grow.

Maybe he was using a secret Weider Principle that Joe never shared with the rest of us.

Didn't atwood have a friend who was selling drugs with him that got caught and killed himself and his wife after the judge gave him 3 years probation? Not jail, but he only got probation after selling massive amounts of roids for years. Only probation and he off'd himself and his wife.

Art is damn lucky that he didn’t have to compete against the ‘96 Nasser

It's possible my front delts are eating all my chest gains. But my chest sucks anyway.

I believe Art had a mail-order Russian bride.

He had good chest genetics, also he concentrated on his lower chest area, many bodybuilders worry too much about the upper pectoral muscles and neglect the lower chest area. Lower chest area is everything, dips, decline benches, dumbell pullovers, etc

Let's be frank here, Art Atwood looked like shit....

Arms way to small for his giant torso, looked like he overdosed on FROG-TECHtm

And the only reason he beat ruhl is because ruhl already qualified for the O and didn't need to "hold his peak" combined with the fact that the shmoe judges wanted there buttboy to qualify too.....

Quite a pectoral showcase you took the time to pull together.
