This time we look at the side chest pose.
Not the easiest to do correctly, and there are variations to this.
One hand you have Arnold and the rest who do it one way, then you have Ronnnie and Phil heath who do it another way...
Pics >>>
-
Arnold destroys everyone on that shot, he was a superhuman German.
-
"...AHHH, things look different from the side, ah?????.....and if you don't have it?...don't hit it!"
GO FRANCO
-
Now the variation of the classic pose
-
Then the Jay Cutler / Gustavo Badell Variation
-
the crazy thing is none of the modern era guys can touch Arnold on chest size and thickness.

That and the fact that this pose more than any has been manipulated the most ..which brings me to the point..
How is the pose done best ?
Classical ?? Arnie
Ronnie/Heath Style
or
Jay and Gustavo bending Wrist Action ??
-
the gustavo/jay version is bullshit...its like a 'side-arms' pose. its also stupid when theylean forward and stick their asses out too.
the correct way is a true 'side-chest' like what arnold, ferrigno, oliva, ect. did, where you expand your ribcage. no modern guys expand their ribcage anymore because if they did their midsections would spill out. they all try to hit chest shots WHILE flexing their abs, and that just doesnt work.
-
the Cutler/Badell version sucks. its like a side most muscular.
-
You need a better pic of Yates and Arnold rapes everyone 9in this shot.
-
Arnolds chest looks like it's going to explode. Awesome pic.
-
Ahh, yes, the never before seen B&W footage of Yates...
-
The one and only chest pose worth looking at.

I've been wanting to get it.

Levrone has the best side chest pose ever.

Newsflash Arnold Lovers !!!!!! The side chest is not just about the chest only, and in that regard Arnie's is one of the " WORST " side chests I have seen. Sorry. I'll explain. The side chest pose has as much to do with just about every body-part with the exception of the back and abs as the chest does. So going by the pictures shown so far. Ronnie's ( As I said the pictures shown so far ) And Dorians look the most Impressive.
Those pics of Ron with the yellow trunks are so f-n awesome. I think that was 2000 0r 2001. Just F-n awesome he had everything that year. Size and cuts. Just sick. Not to get off the topic of the side chest, I also think the ( JAY Cutler ) ( Gustavo ) Version, looks stupid.
-
How can anyone knock this !!!!!!!!! " Bodybuilding Perfection "
-
Dorians Side chest has some serious thickness. All you Dorian and Ronnie haters stop and appreciate what a thick side chest they both have. Just appreciate the pose and stop comparing and bashing.
I just can't stand Gustavo's side chest....
-
Arnold's side chest is amazing. I guess that's why Flex(?) listed Arnold as having the greatest chest of all time.

Intersting, then why is called the side chest and not the"everything but back and abs pose". Just wondering. Esepcially when this pose has been around longer than Ronnie is old, and Arnold was famous for it, but all these years he has been doing it wrong. I don't understand that.
Take the thickness of the chest. Now bare with me I am only saying this cause of the name of the pose "side chest". Arnold actual pec muscles are way thicker and denser than Ronnies or Dorians. Sure if you add everything else in there like yousay then Ronnieis of course thicker. Hell he outweighs Arnold by 50 lbs. or more.

His points are perfectly valid.
Yes arnolds is initially impressive but on closer inspection you'll see his flaws such as underdevloped (relative to chest) deltoids and poor hamstring development.
Who ever said arnold was doing it wrong? You've completely jumped the gun.
All the guy was saying was that despite the name of the pose, the chest muscle isnt the only muscle on show.
This is obvious so why are you contesting it.

His post is dumb. You have compare Arnold to others from his era. Saying, "Arnold has one of the worst side-chest ever" is retarded. Compared to his contemporaries he was the greatest. He didn't have Ronnie Coleman's delts, and neither did anyone else during that era. His chest alone, dwarfs modern bodybuilders.

Then put Ronnies calves in the mix and he has the worst ever.

Then you must be blind then.
Ronnies calves from the side aren't too shabby as shown by the side chest pic from 2000. You can see right?
Child like reasoning there onlyme. I didnt expect that from you.
-
the side chest has morphed away from what it was originally intended to do. It was supposed to not only show the size and quality of the pecs but also the depth of the individuals rib cage, that's why arnolds looks so much different than the way we see it today. No one spends time expanding thier rib cage and no one can do the vacum right to hit the pose the way arnold hit it. Shawn Ray had an awsome side chest.

Levrone has the best side chest pose ever.
Agreed!!
-
I just can't stand Gustavo's side chest....
He's the worst!!!

sorry Slick - I don't have it. Personally I'd buy Anabolics 2006 first (which i haven't done yet either . . .)
MD has a column where they have a chapter from the book each month. They talked about the mandatories a couple months ago.
