Arnold - Genetically gifted or modified?
« on: July 14, 2006, 12:42:37 AM »
It's been said that steroids can't turn a Volkswagon into a Ferrari but looking at these pictures I'd have to disagree.

pretty shitty example considering the top pic is taken after 1975, when he was either off almost off the juice.  and the second one was taken in his 50's after his heart surgery.  a better example would be the post-op pic and a pic from T3.  nice try tho, good luck next time.

Exactly.

Anytime this guy looks half decent in a photograph or a movie then you can be certain it’s not because of exceptional genetics.

But he's young in the first picture and still looks no more muscular than a tennis player.

So? Is he suppoed to stay in contest shape and weight for life?  ::)
Whats wrong with you,first you rag on steroids and then you want him to be on them all the time...

The only fact that matter is,when he needed to look great he did.

First and last, yeah Arnold took Steroids as you plainly can say. I don't give a crap what anybody says. Genetics will only get you so far, and then you need a little help. I just don’t understand you work so hard to have a great body then you want something else and loose what you earned. Just get it naturally and you won’t worry about deflating.

All I'm saying is that without steroids he is nothing special as both pictures prove. (He's probably even on them in the first picture and still looks like Joe Gymbag).

There are a few people in this industry you don't ever talk trash about, regardless of how they look 40 years after they competed. Arnold is example number 1.

1.You cant get to that level naturaly.

2.Even a natural will lose tons when he puts his attention into other things insted of BB.

3.From personal experiance I can tell you its excaly the oposite,after a few cycles you kind of build a base level of mass that is stays there.Im not talking 250lbs base level,but defenitly more muscle then your natural base level.

Here is the deal with Arnold.....

If he would have never juiced and trained naturally, he would have been a very impressive natural.  His work ethic and determination would have put him ahead.


That said, Arnold did heavily use drugs at some points.  Alot of him wa built that way for sure.

Obviously he reacted to hormones in extreme fashion, a more dramatic change than even most pros. Which makes the whole thing seem all the more artificial when it's not retained.

As opposed to some guys who go off and are still impressive at their natural levels.

People who are 60 tend to not look as good when they were 20. That's why retirement homes don't have football teams.
