The beauty of Arnold's body is that that you can see him posing all the day and you not become tired.He was more than a body builder who knows exactly what a body should ought to look like with correct proportions.God gifted chest and biceps he beat every one.
That's because he did take steroids but a heck of a lot less than today's bodybuilders do, that's why he's still alive and many bodybuilders from the 1980s-90s are already dead.
Arnold was so much bigger & better in 74 than we will all ever know. 75 Arnold left for acting & came back to do Pumping Iron being a shell of what he once was. Years later again in 1980 Total Rebuild he was a shell of a shell & still the best man on stage.
It's just amazing how many photos he took in his prime...as if he knew in the future we would all be looking at them. He was and still is the greatest BB of all time. He posed better than anybody and looks better than anybody even today.
Very well put, mac daddy! At his prime, from 1973 to 1975, he looked better than any other bodybuilder ever has, up until today. Regarding the photos, I think that people seeing him knew that he was special, and wanted to capture as many moments as possible of him training, as well as in more informal settings. Of course, Arnold also enjoyed posing for the camera! Truly, the greatest bodybuilder of all time!
thats what i always thought . how can he has that many pictures back in 60s and 70s its like he has somebody taking pic at him on the gym all the time. this guy have more selfish than all instagram users together.
bobba68 sergio oliva had not vascularity at all. huge body monster genetics he was like coleman huge but ugly body not enough to beat arnold in my opinion in fact olive lost against arnold twice i think
+bobba68 The only department where Oliva was better than Arnold was his very narrow midsection, but Arnold had a small and flat midsection anyway. Arnold had far better shaped arms, with much higher peaked biceps, and a more pleasing looking physique all round. Oliva was big, but he lacked definition as well as vascularity and had very flat biceps. Ask 10 bodybuilders (who are familiar with both Sergio and Oliva) who's phyique (at their peak) they would prefer to have. Most would say Arnold. Certainly some people prefer Oliva over Arnold, but many more prefer Arnold's physique. The Guinness Book of Records even has a photo of Arnold with the caption 'The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the History of the World'. Tellingly, no mention is made of Oliva.
+bobba68 You talk rubbish in just about every line. 'Arnold's upper arms were like his total physique'. Arnold's chest is still regarded as the best ever, not to mention his back and 20 inch calves. 'Arnold looked like an overgrown kid on stage' - just what you are talking about here only you know, lol. Every bodybuilder DOES strive to have peaked biceps, not the flat, shapeless masses that Sergio had, so yes it DOES work that way. No top bodybuilder wants to have big, yet shapeless arms like Oliva. Nobody said that every bodybuilder 'should have' peaked biceps like Beckles or Robinson for that matter, but virtually all of them would love to have arms like them, or Arnold. Just because you foolishly say 'blah, blah, blah...' does not detract from the fact that most guys would like to look like Arnold, not Sergio. There are nowhere near as many admirers of Sergio's physique as there are of Arnold's. You and a few others are in the minority, and the reason is as follows: Arnold had a superior, more symmetrical physique than Oliva. Because you are blinkered to that fact, I'll let you in on an inescapable truth known the world over: Arnold is regarded as the greatest bodybuilder of all time, NOT Oliva.
His brachial biceps shape, size, depth and insertion, are astonishing Best biceps in bodybuilding history. People like Arnold, Bruce Lee, Michael Phelps, etc, never will be forgotten.
A big man with big full muscles, he was the best. Best time of Classic Bodybuilding. I saw Sergio Oliva 1981 at the Profi World Cup in Essen, he was also great ;-). Greetings from cologne.
It's just overwhelming how one person could make a lasting impression for decades on a worldwide basics...ordinary people doing amazing things...but then again...Arnold was not a normal person and he will forever be the origins of bodybuilding
He was only 230 lbs in 1975. His lightest ever in his career (other than 1980 when he was 220 lbs, but it was not really his career at the time). His prime was 1973 and 1974. He barely trained 3 months for competition in 1975 since he did movie for the first 6 months and barely weighed 209 lbs.
KLRGT500KR Actually, most magazines from the seventies and various websites state his weight in 1975 as 235 lbs. His weight at the 1980 Olympia is cited as between 217 lbs and 225 lbs.
Serge Nubret who was backstage with Arnold said he saw Arnold checking his weight and it came out to be 230 lbs before the pose-off of Arnold, Serge and Lou. Frank Zane claims Arnold was 225 lbs (but, I think Zane was full of sh*t since Arnold's normal weight without any steroids and without heavy workouts was 210 lbs and there is no way Arnold was only 35 lbs heavier than the much smaller and shorter Zane).
No his calfs are to big for his quads. And if you compare his upper body to his lower body his legs are actually to small.. Pro bodybuilders of today have gone on record saying that. Top judges have also said that..
I bet I've seen 99% of these pictures a thousand times or more over the last 20 years, but I never get tired of seeing those old black and whites from the original Gold's Gym. The 70s was just the best time in bodybuilding. I Can Only Imagine what it must have been like. The photos at 3:55 and 4:22 have been photoshopped, which is bullshit, but other than that it's a good collection of classic photos for inspiration.👍💪
GoldenEra 4ever Arnold's bicep at 3:55 is definitely photoshopped, but I don't think 4:22 is. I have seen this photo before from magazines at the time, and it is the same. I am also very familiar with all the photos and have most of the Muscle Builder/Power and Muscle and Fitness magazines from the 70's and 80's. As you say though, the 70's was without a doubt the best time in bodybuilding!
(((((( arnold schwarzenegger 72 years old has still got his muscles, wouldn't it be amazing if arnold schwarzengger competed one more time, mr olympia for the older bodybuilders who are still working out these could include, lou ferrigno, robby robinson, frank zane and boyer coe also if you have any suggestions leave a comment ))))))
just wow,my inspiration for life,no man or beast can achiwe this god form that arnold haved.he was special,he was somthing difrent.and he claimd his title of legendary.
There were a couple of years were he LOOKS bigger than modern pros upper bodies and looks better at the same time. The closest thing is a Flex Wheeler, but 1974 Arnold's upper body is fucking insanely huge.
The back shot at 2.46 I remember seeing this photo somewhere back in the very early nineties. Haven't seen it since until now. It hits the jackpot, in terms of the ART and SPORT of bodybuilding finding its fulfilment.
The alpha male...In his youth Arnold was king....massive and ripped....best pic is at :26 from the film "Hercules in New York" Everyone wishes they had a body like that.
Zane was perfect..the Arnold was perfect and HUGE . Just remember he was huge ten (or so ) years before he even heard of steroids..GENES!!!The Austrian Oak is still the King.
@ I never said he didn't use steroids , I said he was big even BEFORE he started using them, and only in a pre competition cycle. By the way synthetic testosterone and anabolic steroids were developed by the Nazi's in the late 30;s in their quest to make the invincible soldier.
We know bodybuilding only because of Arnold "I'll back" legend of all time
The beauty of Arnold's body is that that you can see him posing all the day and you not become tired.He was more than a body builder who knows exactly what a body should ought to look like with correct proportions.God gifted chest and biceps he beat every one.
Just imagine if Arnold had never pursued bodybuilding, then we would've never seen how beautiful the human body really is
Just imagine if Arnold had access to creatine!
There were and are others too
Great saying bro i do agree with you Arnold has been the real greatest physique bodybuilder of all the time ever
That's true brow
just imagine if Arnold had never used steroid :-)
Arnold had the very best chest and biceps. These are the muscles we subconsciously focus on and that is why he is the number one of all time..
His muscles are in the "right" proportions. That's all!
No belly .. v shape.. proportion ..asthetic all Great not only biceps and chest
Best claves
Arnold's chest and biceps were the best, but he also had fantastic calves, besides virtually perfect shape and symmetry.
Arnold was huge, while still maintaining that nice aesthetic look!
It is amazing the amount of muscular mass with nothing of stomach, really a perfect body.
BEST BODYBUILDER ALL TIME ENOUGH SAY
Interesting how his stomach is exactly the opposite of today's bodybuilders.
And that was great.
A deadly combination of mass and aesthetics.
Hahhahahah so true
That's because he did take steroids but a heck of a lot less than today's bodybuilders do, that's why he's still alive and many bodybuilders from the 1980s-90s are already dead.
Todays bodyduilders also do stomach excersise with weight - thats realy bad for stomach muscles
The Best of All Time !!😘

Everything you said was right until the last sentence...
Chest and biceps still unequaled!
It's just amazing how many photos he took in his prime...as if he knew in the future we would all be looking at them. He was and still is the greatest BB of all time. He posed better than anybody and looks better than anybody even today.

Arnold is bodybuilding...bodybuilding is Arnold!
1974 was Arnold's best year. All of those huge pictures (except the one's from Hercules In New York, 1969) are from 1974.
Most photos are from 1974 and earlier, but there are a few from 1975, a year in which Arnold was also considered to be at his prime.
yeah he was 247lbs or something
He was only 230 lbs in 1975. His lightest ever in his career (other than 1980 when he was 220 lbs, but it was not really his career at the time). His prime was 1973 and 1974. He barely trained 3 months for competition in 1975 since he did movie for the first 6 months and barely weighed 209 lbs.

The Amazing beast Arnold Schwarzenegger.
old school= off season=on season
modern = off season = pregnancy
on season= giving birth
Actually, bodybuilders became even smaller off season. They stopped taking steroids, but they still kept rather strict diet
mohammad amin sarabi 😆😂😃😄
LIMAO
The best bodybuilder ever.. Hands down no Bodybuilder today in their Prime could be Arnold in his prime.
Since 1974 till lee Haney performance there was no one that came close to arnold
5'07. The best of all time without a doubt.
craziest thing is that he was only between 20 and 26 years old in these pictures
Imagine if he 27
Especially in the 1970s with only crumbs of the knowledge we have today
Arnold Schwarzenegger king of bodybuilding!!!!!!!
the picture at 4.16 its totally insane massive and ripped as fuck not even today people can get that physique
He looks like a superhero.
He still has in his day an unbelievable physike , unlike any one today .

I didn't know until now that franco columbu died in 2019. This is so sad! He was Arnold's best friend! R.I.P. Franco Columbu!
If I'm not mistaken Arnold is in Guinness Book of Records for the world's best physique the whole time
Yes he was recorded as the most perfectly developed human
Aesthetically pleasing to the max and huge. No one comes close to this today
