Obviously a guy in his forties has a low probability of looking better overall than when he was in his twenties.

I always thought Lou always had a sick-ass chest!

Pecs always look bigger and fuller than Arnolds did, arnold just had a smaller scawnier bone structure and was exceptional at puffing out his ribcage to make his upper pecs look big.  Lous were collasal while he was just chillin.

Matt C thank for the clip.

bmacsys... after seeing the clip I have to agree with you. He was never a threat to any front-runner. 

Max, I wasn't trying to be critical of Louie at all. He is my favorite bodybuilder of all time. I was just trying to figure out why he looked so much different in his comeback than he did in the 1973-1975 time frame.

True, especially after a long layoff. Thing is not only didn't he look as good is that his physique had a totally different look to it.

  Lou's pecs did look ridiculous in that 1993 video :o

Seems like the huge pecs you could hide under if it was raining are pretty rare. Arnold and Lou were about the only ones who had pecs like that. Katz had a huge chest but didn't have the pecs. He was all ribcage.
