I'm gonna go with the '67 NABBA Universe simply because he was 21 at that show and I'm sure at that tender age his body sucked up those 'dosage' like a sponge.

My guess is he did much more for his movie roles.

More so than he competitive days where his reputation and body were at stake?

Actually, it doesn't matter. He destroys them regardless.

reputation as a bodybuilder versus reputation and millions of dollars as an action star.

Of course more is ridden on the millions than a 'title'. His physique just doesn't seem to speak the same volume when you're comparing his 'look' in movies as opposed to him onstage.

I don't know.  I think he was bigger and harder in the mid to late 80s than he was in the early 70s.

Question is:  Would anyone in off season condition pass through NPC ranks?

OK. I'll buy that. How about if Arnold showed up to an NPC even looking like this...
