BUMP!

I've found some new comparison pics on getbig, between Arnold and today's generation. Here are a few examples:

Maybe he doesn't have the legs and the conditioning of today's pro's, but to me he looks the best compared to them. The lines and the flow in most of the poses are just awesome. Not to mention the waist control/size lol.

From the comparison vids, in terms of chest fullness, shape and lines, only Haney challenges him.

Its not a fair comparison but since its already up... Arnold with his work ethics and genes on todays chems concoctions would kick any BBers ass... modern or old!
BTW Arnold retired by the age most of todays Pro's turn pro... if he had done nothing but done BBing for as many years as todays pros do... only God knows what he would have achieved!

A young Arnold with today's stuff, would look like a little taller Gunter (who's 6'1") with better quads shape, calves, waist, chest and arms. In other words, a Gunter on steroids. :icon_mrgreen:

Arnolds back had less density, delts were smaller, legs were smaller and he was waaaay softer than the other guys. Keep in mind that the camera was always way closer back in those days and the lighting was more drastic.

Ronnie had calves back then! xD

IMO he overdieted a lot in 2001 and 2002...

I like Arnolds look over the rest 100%
I dont like the horse legs or GH/Slin gut of today...
V shap over the X shape.

Loved the 80's bbrs.

You know, those type of physiques still exist... they just dont do very well because they're too small, soft and incomplete.

^ Even though this is not the topic of the thread but IMO Cedric is more aesthetic than Shawn Rohden ... Shawn has tiny waist yet it shows stomach distention and I dont like that!

^ Arnold all the way... length of the muscle-bellies, depth of the chest, flare of the pecs, peak of the biceps, sweep of the lats... damn! Arnold all the way!
