Arnold has allways been successful for one main reason; he detected what the game was, what the rules were and played it like a champ.
I find it sad to see posers trying to "follow" in his footsteps; you simply can't. The game is over and the rules have changed.
You wanna be Mr Olympia? Either move to Georgia, UK, Arlington or Vegas dungeon, cut your social life, set your schedule around insulin or ain't gonna happen. The rules have changes. It's been "specialized". To be on top nowadays, it's a whole different set of rules.
Same applies to Arnold's second step; being an action hero. You can't be an 80's like action hero following the same rules. This is why Levrone is failing miserably. The rules have changed once again. He doesn't know what they are. You can't be the "made of steel" a-hole who can take a bullet while going to the 7-11, doesn't blink while smoking a 12" cigar. Nobody wants to see that.
Wanna know what the new game is?

uh... i want to know.

the game in bodybuilding or hollywood?
-
I'm listening...
-
It's not about bodybuilding or Hollywood; it's about understanding what the rules are in whatever direction you're going; master them and be the best player at it. Everybody meets at the top, no matter what discipline.
This is what Arnold did. In some instance he formulated his own rules and imposed them on the way. This means you're a master.
This is how life is; be on the top of your own game and don't let anybody get to the top.

And, it's doing your own game with the use of real hard work, bodybuilding isn't hard work anymore... with these drugs and crap you can build so much muscle by just cheating and fucking around in the gym.
Arnold had to work really hard and play it smart to succeed.

No denial here "climber".. but if you really wan to reach the "top" someday, you can't play the game the same way the last 200 whishers did.
You have to establish yourself in a segment where NOBODY can compete with you.
This is what I did. It was un expected but all clear to me by 23 or so..

It's a totally different game these days. Luckily I'm not delusional enough to want to compete in this "game" called Bodybuilding.
Arnold really did seize upon the game of bodybuilding when it was open to being OWNED by the right person. He played it like a king.
And, if you think I'm in denial because my nickname is "climber" not "bodybuilder" or "big ###" then you're sorely mistaken. I chose this nickname because a friend and I used to joke about someone who was a climber.

Booom.
Never said you were in denial. I found it interesting that yout handle is climber when I'm talking shit about how to shoot for the top.
I'm a climber.

.... There's one german personal trainer at my gym and he's a monster .... He's about 5'11" and a very solid 215 pounds.

that isn't easy.

well said! ;)
-
basically you're saying you can't do something that's already been done.
but what about Stallone, Van Damme, etc. there are a bunch of action stars like arnold.
-
that isn't easy.
the "how to" will come to you suddenly. in your early twenties . . . just like Joseph Smith. then you can start your own religion on getbig.
unfortunately, even this particular segment is already overpopulated.
-
He's been clean for over a year
so he says.

Guys like Alex are good for getbig.com. They show up for about six months. Rack up huge post counts, drop all kinds of science then disappear under the guise of "it's not my life bro" or "i take a break from the boards". They are necessary to bbing board survival!

Jesus accomplished a lot in 3 years. and then he left.

haha did you nail the 50 year old, but that didn't satisfy your sick perversion enough, so you're stepping it up now?

she sent me pussy shots. It really turned me off.
-
he's a beast... he also squats 6 aside for an easy 6 deep reps.
ask Kiwiol if I'm talking shit, he knows Mattias as well.
kiwiol = instant getbig cred.
I believe you "mate."
-
hahaha, i bet he also benches five plates for reps, has three ph.d.'s, and is a ceo of a big company
-

I know he might be a bit delusional, but Kiwiol is unquestionably one hardcore natural bodybuilder. I don't think he'd lie for me anyway so at least you'd have two people vouching for what I'm saying.
-
talking about squatting and dead lifts is gay.
-

He doesn't bench. He's no PhD that's for sure. And, he's not a CEO, I've already said he's a PT.

Why don't you STFU you stupid closet fag. Go play with your "boys".

What's wrong with fags? Are you cooler then somebody because of your sexual orientation?

Back on topic.. I always used the "think outside the box" approach.. A lot like Arnold did and still does..

You obviously just got owned so your reacting with the best you can come up with.

Yeah, I'm having a meltdown. I better log off. ::)
Go back to that other disgusting thread you started you weirdo.

didn't (and doesn't) arnold (still) like putting it "in the box"?
-

Yeah, but I was talking about his other head.. ;D
-

Oh, my bad . . ;D
I don't know about how unconventional Arnold's rise to power was :
1. Be born white - Check
2. Migrate to the US - Check
3. Get wealthy patron(s) - Check
4. Work hard - Check
5. Marry a Kennedy - Check
6. Always talk a lot of shit - Check
-
7. Do massive amounts of anabolics and front like hard work did it.
-
So to be like Arnold, you can't emulate Arnold. That's deep.
Something tells me you think about Arnold a lot.
-
I think there is too many people trying to be like Arnold.. It just won't happen..
I laugh at the guys that come over from other countries and sleep in their cars in the parking lot of venice golds.. Big ole 300 pound guy with a pillow in a little yugo..

There are a lot of "cigarettes" on this board....

That's true but they each had their own style ans establish their own game; think about how Stallone started; Rocky was quite unique when it came out. So was Rambo.
Early Van Damme also had a unique Charisma and new way of presenting Martial Art through action (remember bloodsport).

Good thread - it's about being one step ahead of the game and making your own rules and letting other people follow you like the sheep they are.
Arnold didn't give a fuck about what people thought of him, same for Stallone and any other self-made person - that's why people should look at their own lives and realise it that they should have pushed the boundaries further in anything that they did and not care what others think or say.
Anyone can be a leader - it's about having the guts to put it into practice and push through.

Because I have a day job dumbass. I manage staff - but I still have to play within the rules of my organisation. There's always someone more powerful than you.

and where did that get u? in other words who the hell are u? i never heard of no bb called ARMZ
-
ARMZ is world famous! ;D
But seriously, Bodybuilding for me is just something I do on the side for fun.. I make my money in real estate and I also own a Powerhouse Gym.. I don't need to kill myself to make money in bodybuilding..
I use this technique "thinking outside the box" in everything I do..
Just tryin' to help a brotha out..
just curious. why did you delete your "i'm going to marry a kennedy" post?
-
Thank You Tony Robbins ::)
Arnold openly worked with Robbins in the early90's. However, he was an instinctive and already applying most of the Personal Power rules since his early career.
I like your sarcasm and attitude. I'm sure it lead you far in life.

people are becoming vegetables. children are being programmed by the tv and computer at a young age, resulting in severe mental limitation. it benefits one to try to forget the things you haven't figured out for yourself. focus on something and take it apart; don't think of it in the terms you've been taught. take anything in life and apply your own logic to it. think, analyze; take everything apart and put it back together.
