Here are some interesting questions Dick Tyler asked Arnold Schwarzenegger when they were playing pool in Don Peters house in 1968 shortly after Arnold arrived in California for the first time. Enjoy... :)
Dick: Have you always specialized on your arms?
Arnold: Yes.
Dick: Arnold, what kind of exercise did you do to develop those arms? I mean, when you first started?
Arnold: I did Zottman curls where I used dumbbells and rotated the dumbbells with each rep. Also cheating curls. Those were the only two exercises I did for my biceps.
Dick: And what did you do for your triceps?
Arnold: I did narrow-grip bench presses and pushdowns on the lat bar. Up until two years ago these were the only exercises I ever did for my arms. With them I sent my arms from thirteen to nineteen inches.
Dick: What does your arm program consist of now?
Arnold: Roughly, the cheating curl, the Zotman curl, and now I've added the preacher-bench curl. I had never done a preacher-bench curl until Vince Gironda put me on it at the gym. It works my lower biceps a great deal.
Dick: What do you do for your shoulders?
Arnold: I do the press behind neck, seated side lateral raises, incline bench flys while I'm facing down, and finally lateral raises with the pulley machine, one arm at a time.
Dick: And this is the first time you'd ever done these exercises?
Arnold: Yes, I only used to do things like the press behind the neck. I've never done such direct moves before.
Dick: What do you do for your legs?
Arnold: What do I do for my legs? First I do hack squats, then front squats, then some leg curls.
Dick: What do you do for your calves?
Arnold: Well, I do these things where you bend over and someone sits on your waist.
Dick: Donkey calf raises?
Arnold: Yes. That's it.
Dick: What do you do for your abdominals?
Arnold: Nothing.
Dick: I've been doing that too, but it doesn't seem to work out the same way.
Arnold: I'm kidding. I do five sets everyday in the situps.
Dick: How many times a day do you train?
Arnold: Six days a week, twice a day. In the morning at Vinces and at night here at Don's house.
Dick: What's your diet?
Arnold: I eat everything.
Dick: What kind of workouts do you take? Are you serious or can you kid around? Some people almost shoot you if you interrupt them.
Arnold: I train nice and slowly.
There ya have it, folks!

To my knowledge, Arnold started taking them at age 15 when Kurt Marnul introduced them to him.

Crikey. For some reason I always thought he didn't take them until his late teens.

Nah. Kurt Marnul knew of steroids and it's usage through Steve Reeves, whome he met in France in 1952 while on vacation, and passed that knowledge on to Arnold.

So Reeves definitely used? I was never sure; part of me wanted to believe he was a lifetime natural.

Have you read the Wendy Leigh Arnold bio? I haven't but supposedly it says he started at 13.

Yeah. I've read and have it. It's not exactly clear as to when Arnold actually started taking them because on when end you have Kurt Marnul saying he introduced Arnold to them at 15 and even helped with the injection, and on the other end you've got Rick Wayne saying that Arnold confided to him that he started taking them at 13. So who knows...

Interesting! does it say anywhere what he took and in what amounts?
Nice thread btw!

Yes. Here it is...
Kurt Marnul gave Arnold the necessary injections of Primobolin two or three times a week. The injections started almost immediately after Arnold started training as a bodybuilder. Arnold also started taking Dianabols.
According to one Austrian bodybuilder who trained with Arnold he remembers, "Arnold took doses that terrified the other bodybuilders. I saw him swallow eight or nine Dianabols at a time. The he would take a gulp of milk, a handful of protein tablets, and while he was still swallowing and could hardly talk, say, 'Right, now I'm ready!' and start training."

No test? and what is primobolin?

Pollux - Can you confirm if Reeves did juice?

Sorry, I can't. I'm just going by Wendy Leigh's Unauthorized Arnold biography book.

No test was ever mentioned that that was one of the things Arnold took. As for Primobolin...it's just an oil based steroid, is all.

hmm... all steroids surpress or cancel your own hormone production so if you don't take any test to replace it = a bad thing no ???
-

Dunno about that - Arnold was banging broads left right and centre back in the day. I doubt his test levels were shutting down. Not to mention his unusual drive and ambition - you need a certain amount of test to see that through.

Whether Arnold took it or not, I don't know. I've read stuff that he has taken and test just happens to be one of the things I haven't read about.
The fact of the matter is, Arnold is Numero Uno! ;D

Test is not absolutely necessary for a functioning libido if you are taking testosterone analogues like the ones mentioned.

arnold is a test machine. taken or natural, the man is driven
-
dianabol is highly androgenic aswell as anabolic.
with the amount of dianabol he was taking, that alone would have been enough test to send his circulating test through the roof.

That would explain all the banging of the women he did...that and because he's a pimp! 8)

these bbers were popping dianabol and nilivar like candy. there were no cycles or pct back then.
makes me wonder how they ever got their natural test back after years of this.

As far as I know, Arnold did his cycle under Kurt Marnul's supervision.

Well, those pics definetly are not pre-Barbara Outland. They're "post". They broke up in 1975 before Mr. Olympia, and judging by those pics in how he looks I go by that conclusion.

No doubt, GoneAway. I find that his age of 20-22 to be his most massive! Granted, he didn't have the definition, but he had so much bulk and size that it was ridiculous! :o
-
Take this pic for example...Arnold's got this size that makes one in awe and he hasn't even arrived in America yet at the moment this pic was taken. I don't know who the hell child he's babysitting, but you see my point. LOL
I should've kept the article, but I just cut out the picture.
I do remember the lady saying that she had no idea that the mega-star that Arnold is would've been bouncing her on his lap.

theres a twisting back shot, like the one i pointed out, in arnold's encyclopedia. its in the back training section. i believe its from the 1969 mr europe. one of the sickest and thickest shots ive ever seen. im sure u know the one. he was still quite defined in 1969, in the upperbody at least.
-

i not agree...
i think at his biggest he was by age 25-28.
in the video YEARLY YEARS we see him from 68 to 75.
at guestposing in Australia(1974) at weight 260 pounds he looked unusualy big.
i think even in PUMPING IRON Arnold was very close to his biggest( not on stage but in the gym, some weeks before the contest).

Obviously it's my opinion. As for what's highlighted in Arnold: The Early Years, it actually highlights from 1967 to 1980. ;D

I know the one you're talking about. Yes, it is from the '69 IFBB Mr. Europe. Arnold OWNS the three-quarter back shots! 8)
