no disrespect to arnold though, still mogs all modern competitors in terms of aesthetics. objectively and quantifiably they are "better" (leaner, more mass evenly distributed on the legs) but just like being a homosexual who listens to that cuck from RP instead of hitting the gym and eating, objective measurement doesn't make things better. old physiques looked so much better. this new dry, striated bullshit is awful compared to the full physiques guys went into shows with in the 70s/80s
>Germanic physique ideal for aesthetics
Not Aryan
Bumstead is an Anglo physique, long torso, shorter legs, ideal for deadlift and squat see Eddie Hall and Cbum heavy lifting.
Crazy to think that CBum is 10 lbs heavier than Arnold AND leaner. Still has smaller arms but way bigger legs
I hate modern bodybuilding, silver and golden age were the peak
Arnold can whine all he wants about how mass monsters destroyed bodybuilding, but he was the first mass monster
Yeah, but arnold was 6'2, not these 5'5 meatballs + his upper body looked like that of a god, come on, there is no comparison to the monstrosities we see now on stage
I don't understand your last sentence. Yeah Arnold was big but he was aesthetically big and still had a small waist. He complains about guys with giant bubble guts and guys who get huge without being proportional, his critique of Big Ramy's massive shoulders dwarfing his arms at the recent Olympia is a good example.
Arnold was a mass monster but he had the height and proportional physique to look good. Compare 6'2 and 235lbs on stage to 5'6 and 240lbs. Absolutely ridiculous.
dude modern bodybuilding is so fricking gay. enough with the over the top spray tan and the g strings and the tumour legs and the striated glute spread
lol i never realized this, why do they have to show their raisin ass like it's the most prized possession?
jesus fricking christ bodybuilding is literally the gay sport
Why doesn't arnold have striated glutes? he seems to be just as lean in the rest of the body? Is there some particular modern drug that gives you striations on glutes? or is it a particular exercise people only do now for glutes that wasn't done in the 70s?
To have striated glutes, you need to be lean as frick. Diced and peeled, dry as a raisin. So it's basically used as a measure of "how good is his conditioning"
If Arnie was in his 20s now, he'd have access to an infinite amount of bodybuilding knowledge nobody had back then, he'd be on all of the modern drugs and supplements. He'd be back to mogging everyone on stage
arnie doesn't even place in a modern olympia, but he's far more aesthetic looking
Well thats the point. Its not about building the most beautiful body these days just about who roided the most.
arnold will never be surpassed
He was many times.

things were different, compare this with:
with this shit... it's all manlets looking like hard dehydrated wieners
Well yeah, compared to Brian Shaw, find me someone who doesn't look like a manlet next to him (hard mode: no nogball players)
lou is 1.96m, brian is is only 2.03m.
Cbum is 6’1” and Ramon is 5’11” classic is drifting towards only tall physiques.
cbum is 5'10 and ramon 5'8
they both lie about it
You are such a coping homosexual.

Cbum 6'1" 240lbs diced and dry mogs everyone.

If you pulled up with fricking striated glutes (which objectively look UGLY as frick) to all the old school bodybuilders they’d be repulsed.
The reason why Arnold’s era is called “the golden era” is because the bodies actually looked GOOD

Arnold at 18. Natty achievable? He started roiding around this age iirc
Absolutely not. Look at those baseball ceps.
Aside from the biceps, yeah.
