Vince Basile taught Arnold how to do the twisting back pose  

didn't I read that somewhere on here or ironage?

HAHAHAHAHAHA Arnold was doing that at 15

Arnold didn't have a guru..

Haney didn't have a guru..

Are today's pros just too stupid to figure out their own training and dietary regimens?

Arnold did have  guru when he left Austria.

His name started with an H but the guy committed suicide when he didn't qualify for the Mr World title in the 40s

I was wrong, Vince tried to teach Arnold how to do the archer's pose, but Arnold didn't want Vince's expert help

"One time I tried to help Arnold doing the archer's pose. I tried to move his arm into position and he pushed me away. He never knew how to do that pose right. After that I never offered to help him again. Other people must have because he seemed uncoordinated to me but eventually became a smooth poser".

So complicated that they have to often times resort to having another man(guru) design their workout, cook their meals, plan out their drug intake and even charge the pro over 50% of their prize earnings?

That was a very odd arrangement, even by pro bodybuilding standards.  Who else camps out in an extended stay hotel in Las Vegas for a month eating fish and reading philosophy.

I wonder who was Arnold's guru..

I mean, whoever claimed that title could have made millions in the industry throughout the years.

It was Weider... and he did make "millions in the industry throughout the years"

isn't it papa Joe?

 

Oh!  You beat me to it!

I know that there have been men that have served as guides for some, instructing others on the popular steroids of the moment, but today we have IFBB pros completely dependent on another man for everything.

Food..

Training..

Steroids..

Motivation..

Life guiding direction...

Phil Heath even said that when IFBB pros are into their diets, sometimes they even suffer from loss of speech.  In this instance, the guru even serves as their voice.
