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


OK, then name some and post some pictures to back it up. That top picture of Arnold looks a heck of a lot better than guys of today when they are off for a period of time.

Here is the deal with Arnold.....

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

I doubt he knows what it's like to train without drugs as he was taking them from his early teens.

And this picture looks a heck of a lot worse than any I've ever seen.

In that top pic you can easily see the muscle bellies, skin tone and tiny joints that made him one of the best ever. Hating on a post-op pic of a guy in his 50's is just fvcking retarded. When i got hurt years back I looked like death when I was released from the hospital.

If this pic was real...then there is no way he could have looked like he did for T3...you do realize that people have already come forward and said those pics were slightly doctored?

OK Pumpster, in that first pic he looks real good. But you say he looks worse naturally than most guys who go off the juice. I think you are wrong on that. Post some pictures to show your correct and not just spouting off. I am not saying you can't I just don't think your correct.

Look at how much area his chest covers on his Torso, it unreal. You either got that or you don't.

Equally retarded to be so defensive-why the need to defend him? He looks just as bad in a recent magazine shot on the beach, so the post-op excuses no longer apply. 59's no longer so old if you care what you look like.

He's gotten plenty of accolades for the last 40 years so a little deserved criticism is fair; ain't nothin' wrong with inserting a little reality.

Besides which, he doesn't care at this point. If he did, he might look more like Stallone who's seems more motivated now.

Get over it-he gotten plenty of accolades for the last 40 years so a little deserved criticism is just as fair; ain't nothin' wrong with it.

Quite true, he doesn't care and niether do I.

I just like pointing out stupidity, and cracking on a 60 year old's physique is stupid.

You still haven't backed up your claim that most who big time bodybuilders who went off the juice looked better than Arnold when he went off.

we're all forgetting that there wasn't really a clear distinction between a regular BB and a "natural" BB.  Arnold was just doing what was legal.

Don't have to, there are many guys who retain size later in life, as opposed to Schwarzenegger who was already looking somewhat human just a year after his retirement in the mid-70s when I saw him backstage at the Universe.

I have news for you Bluto: being in shape in your 40s with good genetics & regular workouts isn't much different than being in your 20s.  :D

Nah, but a lot harder when you reach your 60's as Stallone.

Actually you'd be wrong (again)-how many people have his lifestyle or means to carry it out for the last 30 years? Wrong again.

His lifestyle? He's had a hectic lifestyle to say the least, going from

Not a bad transformation at his age.

Are we back to the Sly "Cleveland Steamer" Stallone groupie stuff again? Bluto's in love! Send him one of your nude pics and tell him that if Heidi Fleiss' chicks were good enough to be steamered by Sly you'd also be interested..
