Title: Why did Joe Weider Use Robbie's likeness and not Arnold's?
Post by: Royalty on February 15, 2007, 09:29:21 PM
I think its kind of sad that Joe put face on a sculpture of Robbie Robinson and passes it off as if he looked like that.


Why didnt he use Arnold's upper body in the sculpture?

Probably too recognisable, so he picked someone the mainstream pop hasnt seen.

The "body" in question could be any one of 100 physiques...

Joe Weider was doing that pose WELL before Robby ever lifted a weight...I've got mags dating back to the late 40's with Joe striking that arms crossed pose.

Joe NEVER looked like that though,

So what was the point of that?

Oh yeah...I've got stuff as far back as the late 1800's.

Lot's of vintage posters as well...Hercules, Samson, Atlas, etc.

Maybe I'll show them all on the next edition of YO! IFBB Cribs...!

They sure looked better in the Late 1800`s and Early 1900`s than they do Today.

The guys in the past could easily be on the PRO NATURAL circuit.

Nothing has ever been established that Robby's body was used...except from Robby.

Hey, give Weider some credit for being ahead of his time.

He was photoshopping before there was such a thing as photoshop.

I have to admit this is by far the dumbest thing you have ever said.
