Title: The aging of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Post by: dantelis on January 26, 2007, 09:06:26 AM
Interesting article on Arnold's decline as he ages.  Wonder who George Butler is talking about in this quote, "One aging specimen was known to superimpose his head on the torso of other bodybuilders in photographs"?  (Joe Weider perhaps?)

Bodybuilding governor feels the unforgiving weight of time

Honestly, I can deal with the fact that Arnold just doesn't work out like he used to & tends not to train to stay lean & muscular in his older years.  If he wanted to (or had the free time) probably could spring back to a great shape & size in no time.

What I do have a problem with....is how is face has morphed over the years & has been stretched/pulled back.  His eyes look more Chinese & slanted than ever before.  It's sad that he doesn't worry about the body that made him millions & he's more concerned with his face which wasn't all that marketable in the beginning.

Man that was sad reading that.  Good old Arnie is ancient.  I think after his governorship is over he'll spring back into decent shape though.  He probably just doesn't have the time for it.

Fat Albert on the other hand, would probably have diabetes at this point or possibly have died from a heart attack.  :-X
True except albert is still juicing and dosent have the state of california to run.

If the tables were turned and Arnold had the free time that beckles does youd be surprised what a little bit of juice and 3 months training could do

Writer Robert Salladay is using a pic from a few years back when Arnold had just had heart surgery.

Does the LA Times think it's funny to print old photos of a man while recovering from surgery and post the story this month?

Pathetic rationalizations from an Arnold groupies, including that baseless juicing claim. Just accept Al looks great for his age & also accept that Schwarzenegger's first 9-5 job was as governor; Arnold's had nothing but an easy life essentially.

Typical defensive Arnold groupie. Endless excuses. Bottom line: the latest accident happened at extremely low speed, basically happened because of Schwarzenegger's lack of coordination coupled with the inflexible artificial hip, that didn't permit the heavy thigh bone to move. Ouch.

I'm not much of a fan of Arnold's physique... even less so of his personality. But he didn't come from money or marry any until he was already a multimillionaire in his own right. He did a hitch in the army and laid bricks for a while, as I understand it. No honest person could say the guy doesn't have a work ethic. So the phrase "easy life" - which is almost uselessly relative to begin with - isn't one I would apply here.

Good post,
what ever anyone says about arnold albeit his body or personality noone can deny his determination and work ethic it took to get to the top.

I guess in pumpsters mind an easy life is growing up in post war Austria,poor,having a bully for a father and brother,going into the army then moving to America without money or speaking english. ::)

Here's one of Arnold and me taken in November '06 by Ironman's John Balik
at a cocktail party in L.A.  Since our friendship began 23 years ago, I've trained, jogged, swam, and practised sword-fighting with him in his backyard. He introduced me to the movie business, both here and in Rome, and I even attended his bachelor party.  More recently, as a reporter, I was in the media pool for the entire recall campaign.  So I've seen Arnold in many different conditions, smooth and shredded, wounded and recovered, happy and sad, you name it.  And he was in top form on this November night.  Instantly spotting me in the crowd, he moved with quick masculine grace crossing the room to greet me.  Up close, his skin was clear and aglow. He wore no make-up.  His voice was deep and untroubled, his laugh warm and easy.  Arnold's v-shape had returned and his flesh was remarkably firm.  We could've shot "Terminator IV" right there and then.  Instead, he went skiing, took a hard twisting fall and broke his leg.  As long as he's got one good leg to stand on though, Arnold will stand..and WORK. HE LIKES TO WORK.  There are brick walls and chimneys all over Santa Monica and Venice that he built with Franco Columbu, together with their shirts off in the sun, bare-handedly.  Flesh is fragile.  If Arnold teaches us anything, it's that SPIRIT IS STRONGER THAN FLESH.  When Arnold's flesh is gone, it'll be his SPIRIT that we most remember him for.

don't be so hard on yourself teagan. your writing skills are pretty good. you've certainly got a good imagination.

just ease up on the adjectives a bit.

oh, btw, if arnold ever saves the world, eliminates terrorism and famine or, perhaps, merely following through on his election promises i'll praise him with reverence.

until then he's just another person to me that has used his gifts to succeed in the entertainment industry.

Try telling that to the 82 year old guy that recently deadlifted (legit, no straps) over 450, a weight that under 5 people may be able to do at most typical gyms throughout this country at ANY age.  Also, I think Jack LaLanne has done a pretty good job. 

Of course people age, but if you are blessed to be healthy then you can do miraculous things at most ages.  I would bet there are many over 60 year old guys powerlifting today that can out lift lots of under 30 year old typical day to day guys.  If anyone has Powerlifting USA can you post their older divisions?

Agree he definitely had the work ethic in the gym, but the initial years of training, hanging out tanning on the beach, being paid to write articles while carousing in LA with no serious job is hardly gruelling. Same thing as an actor. Who wouldn't take that contract? He wasn't born with money but did in fact lead a charmed life beginning immediately with his arrival in the 60s.

I hope that I can help you FORGIVE a political inevitability.  Maybe even reduce your contempt.  Try a new POV.  You might feel better.

Have you ever been hit by an UNINSURED driver?  Happens much
too frequently here in California.  Well, Arnold applied FORCE to
illegals to GET a license so they would be ELIGIBLE for insurance.
It was a VERY UNPOPULAR policy for him to enact.  But now we can all collide, knowing that we can sue eachother.

Interesting article on Arnold's decline as he ages.  Wonder who George Butler is talking about in this quote, "One aging specimen was known to superimpose his head on the torso of other bodybuilders in photographs"?  (Joe Weider perhaps?)

Bodybuilding governor feels the unforgiving weight of time

You are lively. That's one of the things I like about fitness. The real serious people almost glow like yourself and Arnold. I am sure I saw you on screen somewhere.

Now show my picture to Arnold and tell him I am natural and only taking vitamins. I am willing for him to make me great just like him.

Yes, I met Sergio, BEFORE his wife shot him.  Weider introduced me to him.
We were shooting photos for Joe on the same day.  Sergio brought his new
baby and posed with the infant.  It was touching.  The photos were never

Good pitch, rccs.  I'll take a swing at it.  Batter-batter-batter!  Personally, I wouldn't have pursued bodybuilding if I hadn't seen Arnold POSE in "Pumping Iron". Although I was already weight-training then, I didn't know BB even existed!.  Prior to that, I had also started running after seeing "Rocky", and disco-dancing after "Saturday Night Fever".  So, in my case, it was MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO.  I liked what I saw, and wanted some for myself.  Arnold was BB's most visible representative.  We refuse to release him from this role.  We're upset when he eats too much.  Given the fragility of our lives, we must prepare for the eventuality His absence.  And celebrate his contribution WHILE HE'S STILL ALIVE TO  ENJOY IT.   Help him age without criticizing the inevitable.  Similarly, would folks have taken an interest in boxing without the existence of Ali...basketball without Wilt...martial arts without Bruce...cycling without Lance...golf without Tiger...or self-analysis without Dr. Phil?  I look forward to your thots.

Arnold is somehow a projection that not only bbers have, he is like the archetype of sport glory, to start from zero and obtain glory and undisputed domination even "out" of the sport world. Bbers, pwlers, and all the strengnth athletes should be proud to have such a high representative of themselves in a world were the big $$$$ makes all the diference. arnold proved that with work, sacrifice and some luck we can achieve great things in live. He made bbing notorious visible back in the 70's, all the other athletes from several sports were proud to take a picture with Arnold (wich was amazing). I think that Arnold's example should be followed and not dissed by haters that are using his aging to try to bring him down, which is impossible because he is living history, both sportive, cultural and politically, so let us praise the man while he is still among us!

Bbers, pwlers, and all the strengnth athletes should be proud to have such a high representative of themselves in a world were the big $$$$ makes all the diference. arnold proved that with work, sacrifice and some luck we can achieve great things in live. He made bbing notorious visible back in the 70's, all the other athletes from several sports were proud to take a picture with Arnold (wich was amazing). I think that Arnold's example should be followed and not dissed by haters that are using his aging to try to bring him down, which is impossible because he is living history, both sportive, cultural and politically, so let us praise the man while he is still among us!

In terms of being THOUHT about and remarked upon, he's now more popular than Jesus Christ.  Here in California, anyway, and esp. on Getbig, many folks regard him as a "higher power".  Does this mean that WE are his "disciples"?

I think Jesus would have gotten more than 56% of the vote.   ::)

Not without a haircut and a blue blazer.  The walking on water act, however, might land him a gig in Vegas.
