That's an interesting point of view. Actually I think tha Arnold is the main promoter of bbing, even today. I wonder, how would the bbing world react to a non presence of Arnold?
Good pitch, rccs. I'll take a swing at it. Batter-batter-batter! Personally, I wouldn't have pursued bodybuilding if I hadn't seen Arnold POSE in "Pumping Iron". Although I was already weight-training then, I didn't know BB even existed!. Prior to that, I had also started running after seeing "Rocky", and disco-dancing after "Saturday Night Fever". So, in my case, it was MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO. I liked what I saw, and wanted some for myself. Arnold was BB's most visible representative. We refuse to release him from this role. We're upset when he eats too much. Given the fragility of our lives, we must prepare for the eventuality His absence. And celebrate his contribution WHILE HE'S STILL ALIVE TO ENJOY IT. Help him age without criticizing the inevitable. Similarly, would folks have taken an interest in boxing without the existence of Ali...basketball without Wilt...martial arts without Bruce...cycling without Lance...golf without Tiger...or self-analysis without Dr. Phil? I look forward to your thots.
