On the Stern show today, they mentioned Arnold was on some Best/Worst bathing suits list and that he didn't look so good. Can anyone post this picture? I want to see for myself. I idolized Arnold when I was younger and naive.
-
ronnies title is safe saw the picture but dont have it really funny though all fat and wearing a speedo :)
-
Not the most recent but U get the idea. Apparently it didn't occur to him to at least keep a T-shirt on. ;)
-
Those of us in the bodybuilding community know Arnold the bodybuilder, but if you watch the Arnold that the general public thinks is a monster (e.g., in Commando) you would realize how attainable his physique is (comparatively at least).
Very true.
I remember my father taking me to the theater watch Arnold in Commando. I thought Arnold was huge. Now, I look at and while he looks great (compared to the average male), he is nothing special.
-
so matt c and gordiano, you have his physique or better then?

Remember in Commando when he took out all those goons with garden equipment. He threw a circular saw blade like a Frisbee and decapitated the guy! ahahaha.

Man, my grandfather who is 85 looks better than the oak in that pic. He can't look that old and feeble.
-
His calves still look the same..

The chest looks big, but the delts.... :-\
-
i remember when Commando came out in 85, i was 13 and i thought he was fucking huge especially in the scene where he was rowing to the shore in the raft, i saw that scene a few weeks ago and said to myself, "i can't believe i used to think he was big".

that is not a current arnold picture. that one was before T3. Now he has a gut and a little bit saggy chest but not that bad for a guy who's 59 or whatever.
-
that picture was from shortly after his heart surgery. it's many years old
-
it's not really even a gut. it's just some flab around his abs. not like a true gut which is round. the way danny devito has.

homo you just wish he would've used the paddle to ravage your skinny ass!
-
Arnold should be ashamed of his current condition. I mean look at Zane.. Zane kept his mr. O size and cuts even at 80 years old.

size? thats laughable
-
size? thats laughable
oops did I say size?? I meant swimming ability ;D
-
Like I said, Arnold doesn't look good and he doesn't look good for his age either (so don't bother excusing it by stating he's pushing 60 - tell that to John Citrone).
He looks better than you. ::)
-
size? thats laughable
He kept a very good amount of size up until his death.

Zane died ???

He's on the front cover of STAR magazine dated May 29th. It's on news stands now.
-
LOL, Zane is not dead!
They just did an interview with him in REPS mag and he's not 80 either! I think he's in his 60's.
-
I just saw the pic in STAR magazine when I was in line at the supermarket....It is pretty bad...A bit worse than the one in the black speedo.
-
At least Arnie still has the monster traps
-
I just checked to see if Zane was really dead, and found this:
# 1968 Mr. Universe Short 1st & Overalll
# 1967 IFBB Mr. Universe Tall 3rd
I guess from 67 to 68 he lost a few inches of height. That's rough.

If you've seen or heard Zane talk, he seems dead, but isn't..

You think you gonna have as much hair as him at his age?
-
that's not the one! someone get the real pic.

This is the best I've been able to find so far. Him on the bottom left.

Not a lot of guys can get away wiht a 2 piece like that, but I think he pulls it off.
-
Yeah. Looks about the same.

Too bad there's not some website where one could check your facts regarding bodybuilding history before writing something stupid.

Have you carried out an extensive and conclusive research or survey of how most guys pushing 60 look?

No offense but this is quite predictable Iron Age defensiveness.
I don't blame him at all for wanting to enjoy the good life, not a bit. On the other hand, looking at him you'd never know he'd even touched a weight; he looks just short of pathetic. In lieu of pride or determination to maintain, at least throw on a T-shirt in public, to mask the deterioration..

sarcasm...you are 34 years old?? :o hahahaha judging from your "gay" jokes, I was guessing 17 or 18.... ::).
Maybe you should consider moving away from your parents and get your own place...hahahahhaha
34 going on 14.
-
Why would he care? He's made a living, for over 25 years, off his body (and charisma). He has left those days behind and has taken other venues, venues he sucks at imho, but that's another matter.
It was probably a bloody hot day, no way he's gonna wear a shirt!

Same goes for me with Rambo and Jean Claude van Damme in Hard Target, i never saw such insane muscle machines.. when i look at them today i say they are just skinny and like the abb work haha.

wait till priest gets old....

arnolds getting old,he made his mark and was the best at what he did at the time,i couldnt care less what he looks like now as long as hes healthy

I couldn't wait until Adonis gets old..
-
I know that evrybody gets old, but I've seen ex-bodybuilders in their sixties that look way better than what Arnold shows. I think Arnold stop lifting all together. Bill Kazmaier is 53yrs old and I dont think he'll look anything like Arnold when he's 60
-
The thing about Schwarzenegger was that he obviously had a very exaggerated hyper-reaction to hormones-disturbing to see how much size he lost without them, even when younger. Makes the muscles seem all the more artificial that he doesn't retain them, unlike others like Kaz who will always have some size.
Here somewhere in the 80s with tiny arms & swimmer's bod; even then it hardly looked like he'd ever lifted. Barely looks like the same person. Probably why he had an embarassed grimace. :D
-
im not using it as an excuse but arnold seems like a very busy guy,its not like years ago when he lived in golds training for hours on end,imo id say lets not focus on his present condition and lets remember him in the pumping iron days and show those pics,he was one of the best in history
-
I don't know about busy-Governor is his first 9-5 since arriving in America in the 60s, and he had a huge trailer of workout equipment brought to the movie sets. Maintaining doesn't take much anyway. ;)
-
maybe his heart just aint in it anymore,im wondering with his heart surgery and all if he can handle intense exercise routines even with light weights
-
Funny thing is he seems to love training and BB more than most. The heart situation means he can't go too high in intensity; I think he does daily cardio though.

YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT. I WONDER DOES GENETICS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM NOT RETAINING AT LEAST 50% OF HIS MUSCLE MASS. CAUSE ARNOLD IS ONLY 59 YRS OLD AND HE SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AS IF HE NEVER TOUCHED A DUMBELL IN HIS LIFE
-
No doubt genetics; others don't seem to have such a pronounced contrast. IMO most legit powerful guy wouldn't lose as much as he has; weightlifters would probably think he's the classic phony BB with little real size.
Just saw that recent Star shot up close; he looks about as bad as in the post-op pic, and he's not even 60. :-[
-
Have you carried out an extensive and conclusive research or survey of how most guys pushing 60 look?
No.
Are you suggesting most men pushing 60 look worse?
I'm not suggesting anything at all!
You were the one who suggested that most men pushing 60 looked better, by saying that Arnold does not look good even allowing for his age. You could be right, I don't know, but I wanted to know what you based your comment on.
-

Savage aging!!!

Yep, I had the exact same thoughts. Even while watching Predator I thought, "those guys are jacked!!" I saw it again recently and just laughed....couldn't believe how small Arnold's back, shoulders and triceps were!
-
He was only around 210 for Predator, knowing that extra size was redundant for the role and as always able to yo-yo the weight up and down almost at will. Looked big for the 80s on a big screen, and a lot bigger than most other actors even now; no reason to go bigger.
-

Yes i am sure you watched Predator Man of Squeal. ::)
-

Why wouldn't I watch Predator...that movie kicks ass......if you got a good sound system you should turn it up during the scene where they all randomly blast away at the jungle after Ventura got whacked by the Predator....kicks ass!!!
-
I can remember watching the Terminator at the beginning, where he stands up and all you see is this massive chest, and then walking away you see his backside, that huge slope of traps.....I thought it was so amazing, probably why I started lifting weights much later on---it was in the back of my head from my childhhood. Anyways, he was still kinda big in that movie, not sure what his weight was.
-
in the line at the grocery store i was flipping through one of those celeb magazines for pictures of hotties. i ran across the picture in question. he didnt look great but he did look better than the pics posted here of him. i doubt most of us will look as muscular when we are 59

Predator was just on Encore. As i was watching I realized that just about everyone in the damn movie was on gear.

Me 2 bro! When I was a kid I must've rented that movie 20 times! Still my favorite movie. :)

Another part was the "nice night for a walk" scene where you will find a young Bill Paxton as a punk. I must have watched that scene over 100 times. Arnold just looked psycho and intimidating as hell. I had to settle for the edited TV version I had recorded until I got older.
-

It stars man of speal getting ruptured by his evil nemesis the dildomater.

Yeah that kid must've pissed in his pants during that scene. ;D
-
hercules in new york was great,alot of people dont like it but arnie had a thick look going in that movie,stay hungry was okay also
-
id swear i was at a bodybuilding show when conan came out in the early 80,s,lol,theyre were all these jacked up dudes in line at the movie theatre with their girls,it looked like a sauce convention
-
OBVIOUSLY Arnold's an all or nothing guy. When he is not working out for competition or for a movie he doesn't work out at all.
-
Alexxx, we're talkin about the Terminator not the Sperminator.
Hahaha. Arnold has still got some pretty decent arms for an older guy, but the man is busy as hell. Hes got more important shit to tend to instead of worry about working out.
-
who cares. that mag was stupid and who ever wrote the headline/article will never have a body 1/10th arnold had. anyone talking smack, they will never come close. it just makes people feel better to see something so great turn to $hit. they should all a life.
-
But why does his calves still look good? hmm
-
Alexxx, we're talkin about the Terminator not the Sperminator.
you can't rent the sperminator anymore... gayalexxx stole it
-
you can't rent the sperminator anymore... gayalexxx stole it
hahaha you where looking for it? ;D
H :o M :o
-
hahaha you where looking for it? ;D
H :o M :o
hahaha ALEXXX sorta has a point there.
-
I still can't believe. Arnold... The King Arnold... I know that he is 59 years old but... No more comment.
-
All you people who like to say "look how he gets when he's off the sauce" that picture is proof that he is someone who for long periods of time just stops working out all together.
-
yeah, or runs a state's economy and, oh not to mention he's nearly 60.
-
Yes, but where's the God damn Picture?? ???
-
That picture was of Arnold after his open heart surgery. Give the guy a break.
-
Actually in the recent picture he's equally heinous.
-
Good biceps though.
-
Actually in the recent picture he's equally heinous.
Please tell me he's not walking in public like that,
Now He look's like a larger version of Dan Davito
-
Why he couldn't have kept a T-shirt on I don't know..save topless for the backyard at this point. :D
-
Yep, I had the exact same thoughts. Even while watching Predator I thought, "those guys are jacked!!" I saw it again recently and just laughed....couldn't believe how small Arnold's back, shoulders and triceps were!
We have all become desensitized around here. We look at extreme physiques on the boards day in and out and it becomes the norm.

Just found a better quality shot of the cover.

Thanks Dorian,
btw his belly button look's like It's gonna talk any minute.............
Way to go Arnold!!!!
-
Not fake; similar to others. I understand enjoying the good life but this is disturbing. Understandable if he was 80; it's hard to tell he ever lifted.

Agree, It's like If he was eating at dunkin donuts day and night for the past 10 years.......but I tell you this, you can be sure that he'll do something about it and come back fully in shape his ego is way bigger to leave his image "like that"...you'll see
-
you guys are such dooche bags.
-
Its true, without the gear Arnolds nothing. He will always be the greatest; but damn- hes living proof that deca and dbol WORK :)
-
i'm tired of people saying that about arnold! he gets like that because he stops training all together! not because he's off gear.
-
so matt c and gordiano, you have his physique or better then?
NO THEY DON'T! THEY JUST DREAM LIKE ALL THE OTHER FOOLS ON HERE
-
Arnold will always be numero uno in my book.
He's done more with his life than anyone I can think of right now.
*Multiple Olympia titles.
*Movie star.
*Governor of California.
Give the guy some credit.
Freak :)
-
Arnold has done better than more than half of you guys on this board.. 60% maybe even..
-
So defensive about your hero-does it have to be praise 24-7?. He's received plenty of acolades and money to go with good fortune and great genetics; an occasional reality check shouldn't bother anyone.
-
You guys are wrong. He's aged considerably and he's sporting a bit of fat but you can tell by his structure he lifted weights.
-
You can always tell the guys on here who are under 30, don't lift weights seriously or ever have and have never competed professionally or even as an amatuer. You guys rag on the very same guy that 99% of any competitor or person (guy) who lifts weigths has idolized at one time or another. Most young guys who think they're hot shit on here have never competed and could not even come close to keeping up in the weight room with even me, an overweight 47 year old. How do you make fun of a guy who has done more in his life than everyone on here combined and is certainly financially more secure. The guyhas gone through open heart surgery, he works ungodly hours, travels like hell and has a family he is dedicated too. I am far from an Arnold fan but this applies to any guy in a similar situation as Arnold. Face it, when you get old you get OLD. He may look like shit but at least he has a past that is second to none. And everyone who rags on him needs topost a pic whether it;s current or not just to show everyone you are or were in better shape than Arnold. Then you can talk.
-
yeah what do u expect from Arnold,lou.sly,all these guys.I suppose when there even in their 80's u'r all gonna say,"geez what happened to Arnold,he's so out of shape" Is a guy ever allowed to get old and move onto other things in life.Give me a break -these guys are true legends of our time,why don't u think of what they have done.Running down these guys is really a joke.
-
anyone have the pictures of him when he was filming terminator 3? he snapped into and out of that physique pretty quickly. not that anyone here would ever suggest arnie was built up on drugs. :-X
-
t3 was like 3 years ago!
-
Arnold was ALL drugs! Without them he was nothing. Nothing. But who cares; hes still the greatest bodybuilder of all time, a great movie star and perhaps even a good governer [i'm english so i don't really know or care].
-
So sad :'(
-
there are greater tragedies
-
Now He look's like a larger version of Dan Davito
Well, they are "Twins" afterall.
-
hes 60 years old, who cares
-
Now He look's like a larger version of Dan Davito
Well, they are "Twins" afterall.
His look is perfect for a "Twins" re-make..
60 years old isn't that old now, some still keep it together at that age.
-
you people need to leave the godfather alone
-
hes 60 years old, who cares
Stallone is 60, a year older than Arnold and in the new Flex there's a pic of him showing his razor shape ABS!!!! It's on newsstand now, go get your copy!!!
-
Remenber all those endless Discussions we used to have back in the 80's who was better build between Arnie and Sly?
Well.................... .....
Sly won.
-
Boys, take a break. We'll sow enough. Arnold was the best bodybuilder, one of the best actors, now he is good governor(or I just think so) and he is 60 years old. He showed to us all that he knew. I'd like to see him in the TERMINATOR 4 but for that role he will have to work hard.

That's exactly the case. Well said. You guys, who criticize him, should proof that you can do better. But you can't. Because you are so far away like living on another galaxis.
Arnold will remain #1 for ever.

Arnold has more hummers than most of us have post......
