Author Topic: What was Arnold's best body part? (Read 5702 times)

I think Arnold has a few body parts that would stand up and more than hold it's own on the Olympia stage like his calves, biceps, and chest. But I think it was his chest that just blew everybody away. Even just barely out of his teens his pecs were already world class and beat everyone else at the time. And they got even better later in his career.

Arnold was known best for his arms right from when he won Mr. Europe.

His chest was great though.

Chest but Howard Stern was obsessed with his penis during a 90's interview.

I started training in 1977 right after I bought the book Pumping Iron and that very picture of Arnold in front of the dumbbells was in the front part of the book.

His tongue (seriously)
His gift of gab and other things, helped propel his career just as much as his physique.

Pecs, then upper arms.

Ridiculous biceps.

Chest then arms and back really he was complete legs were not as massive as todays guys but he didnt have any lagging parts

Chest and overall appearance.
Arms would be perfect if his forearms and triceps would have been a hair bigger.

Traps

Because Arnold was tall and had a large rib cage, his chest was big from every angle including top to bottom. Today’s guys are a lot shorter and even though they’re heavier don’t seem to have as much pec development.

Overall arms. But at his peak he had no weakpoints, legs were large and defined.

Just watched Red Sonja last night. I'll bet Arnold used his tongue on Brigitte Nielsen quite a bit.
