A lot of those older bodybuilders do, I feel like it's because they weren't nearly as lean back then, so their physiques looked more natural and fuller. The lengths they go to these days getting that lean just looks too unnatural and unhealthy. I wish the judges would make a change for being less lean these days.
@@TBIRD0625That's how I feel about both bodybuilding and combat sports. Have people compete at their standard everyday weight, cutting down drastically on water is very unhealthy
Arnold is more of an aesthetic look because most people are freaked out by modern bodybuilding, but he would even be able to get a pro card today. Nowhere near conditioned enough even if we ignore his legs
@jbsc97 they focused more on upper body in arnolds era ..you're a fool to believe arnold wouldn't be much better if he brought his genetics into this day and age

Correct. Arnold retired after 74 and went down to 209lbs to film Stay Hungry in early 75. Then George Butler approached him and said they wanted/needed him for Pumping air on but he would need to compete. Arnold then had less than 3 months to get back up from 209lbs to a lighter than usual 235lb ish for the 75 Olympia, but as with 80 when he was lighter again, it was really his legs where most of that weight went from.

Love Arnold but these guys saying Arnold is better are delusional. Sure Arnold has better arms and chest but that’s it. Chris checks all the other boxes. Different eras
Cbum's legs and lats are too big. Not as aestheticly pleasing. Part of me thinks Arnold's biceps are too big, but if one body part has to stand out too much I would want it to be the biceps. Not the lats.

Arnold actually retired in 74 to focus on his movie career. But the producers of Pumping Iron knew they had to get Arnold to be in the movie.

If it's a muscle content by the rigorous bodybuilding standard and lowest fat ... it's clearly all Bumstead. But Arnold's physique I think is the inspiring one because it has size, beauty, but also feels closer to the cultural standards people can look at. It's how an anime character who is really badass look. But Bumstead is perfection in a division made progressively more perfect since Arnold. It's no surprise why, objectively, he is better from the bodybuilidng perspective.
classic physique is not golden era 2.0 they wanted big legs and crisp conditioning no worse than that of the open and 212 competitors since day one Wesley's been placing bad since he started competing, he's been talking about how judges have told him he needs to bring his legs up and come in sharper since 2018.
@@dannyflexx2529 I know. It's just that you can spot Arnold fanboys from a mile away. They would pick Arnold even if he stepped on stage 100lb overweight and with man boobs
There are better genes out there and always have been. He does have weaknesses and just like he himself stated, to be a great body you must learn how to hide your weaknesses.
Todays athletes have the advantage of past down knowledge, trial and error of past competitors, and the desire to gargle drugs until your hospitalized. When Lou Ferigno made a comeback he was significantly bigger and more ripped than he was when he competed against Arnold because of all the advancement's in knowledge
If only arnold was born on this era of body building we could have witness the perfect form of a body builder. Not with bubble gut of today. Arnold was not just a bodybuilder but an artist to he's on body.
if arnold was born today and had todays training and gear and information just imagine how much better he would be. arnold is forever the greatest of all time no matter the era because he had the natural born genetics for this above everyone else
classic Arnold fanboy argument. "just imagine IF" there's no if, just is and isn't. Arnold was a Weider project that competed against the same 2-3 people in a pathetically weak era of bb-ing. in 1971 he competed alone and got a free Sandow because daddy Weider banned everyone else from competing that year. That's your goat, who you're glazing.
Arnie has such great genetics of chest and shoulders. His ultra wide clavicle head of pecs inserts high under the anterior delts. To me that is a great chest shape. Arnold’s arms looked great with or without a pump because of the length of his muscles and awesome genetic insertions.
It’s all about preference. I really just don’t care for the looks of modern day builders. I understand why they do it, but I just prefer that golden era physiques. Arnold will always be the goat in my book.
I love Arnold. I wouldn't want anything about Arnold's physique to change. But bodybuilding wise, Cbum would objectively beat Arnold in every year Arnold competed.
Arnolds back is just fantastic. So much detail and his arms are unbeatable. I'm always so impressed with his physique even when compared to the best classic bodybuilder Chris Bumstead. I would say that glutes and legs are the only weakspot. But they look natural to me. Calves, great calves on Arnold.
No question Arnold’s biceps (particularly his right) were the best. Chris presents a solid chest and a way better back. Obviously conditioning is also very different
Less shredded but that is why he still looks better than most all other bod builders. What is the point of being insanely muscular and you dont even look good you just look sick.
its Cbum for me, legs on Arnold are just too skinny. However his torso matches cbum blow for blow which is absolutely insane given that cbum has the benefit of half a century of progress.
@@namwarmaster6918 I dont think Bumstead's legs look that good...they look weird...they don't flow...Arnold crushes him in calves...and Arnold's thighs in 73-74 were BIG....Arnold at his BEST....not discounting CBUM but Arnold at his best in my opinion was MUCH better
@@leevancleef358 size, definition, all goes to Chris. Arnold even at his biggest was smooth from the side and back, and had no quad sweep whatsoever.

Arnold's only plus was his quad insertions were cleaner, but literally every other aspect of legs Chris beats him.

Arnold would beat anyone in classic physique today with his scene charisma, posing and working ethic. The only open weight champ who might beat him is gifted prime Phil 2009-2011
For those that say CBum is better, yeah the training and nutrition and technology and drugs have gotten so much better then when Arnold was competing but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a great physique. He’s the greatest bodybuilder of all time because he was ahead of his time. When flex magazine muscle mag etc run out of things to print who do you think they bring up again? Not Ronnie not Jay not Lee not Dorian not Phil not CBum. Arnold! Enough said
Arnold looks better. His lat wing span from a small waist. Longer arms. He just has the genetically more pleasing shape over CB even if CB might have more muscle. Also look at the chest of arnold. It connects to the delts way nicer
I liked the chiseled look but the striations i hate with a passion. tbh if bumstead was a bit more smaller and proportions i would give it to bumstead, i feel like he was just too massive.
Here’s the thing ..people outside the bodybuilding world know Arnold’s name synonymous with bodybuilding…nobody knows the name Chris Bumstead outside the bodybuilding world….Arnold is a legend Chris is a legend to people who know bodybuilding…which means Arnold always wins to that nobody..sorry argue with the wall
Arnold looks like a super human...Chris looks like a cartoon. Arnold is how you wish to look 365 days a year, Chris is how you wish to look when being judged solely by how much muscle you can pack on, regardless of aesthetics. Golden era BBer's were trying to show how beautiful they could build their bodies to be, modern BBer's are trying to show how dense their bodies can be. For the sake of bodybuilding, Chris wins...for the sake of life, Arnold destroys. Since we are talking purely about BB'ing here....congrats Bumstead.
Arnold by a mile! Just the first picture, superior posing skills and actually looks healthy! The way he poses makes it look like his lat goes all the way down to his vaist! Next to this guy, Chris looks like an amateur. :D Imagine what Arnold could have done today! Probably wouldn't even lift if he was born 50 years later, but if he did he'd smoke everybody.
No matter who you think looks better just think Arnold's name will be in the history books will be remembered as the body builder to beat like babe ruth or Tom Brady Michael Jordan cbum is awesome but does he deserve to be on Mt Rushmore
I saw arnold at the olympia in 73 and 74 and I've seen sea duck in person at the olympia I seriously doubt you've seen them both kid .I been around the game for 50 yrs . Like I said arnold blows sea duck away These guys nowadays have better fake tams and better understating if nutrition Put arnold in today dhe would unify all divisions
Still bodybuilding hasnt surpassed the beauty and definition of Arnolds biceps and chest !!!!! His back spread and bend pose is perhaps historys best , every muscle sculpted in to perfection !!!!!
Its not even close, in my opinion. Arnold has a beautiful flow. Chris's arms always destroy the flow for me. His shoulders look to big as well. Maybe if he wasn't as cut and dry, he would have more of a flow. Unfortunately, nothing chris could do about his biceps.
@@jmgonzales7701 A question which deserves a detailed reply. If your question is sincere and not a troll, I could put together an answer when I have a free moment.

For those that say CBum is better, yeah the training and nutrition and technology and drugs have gotten so much better then when Arnold was competing but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a great physique. He’s the greatest bodybuilder of all time because he was ahead of his time. When flex magazine muscle mag etc run out of things to print who do you think they bring up again? Not Ronnie not Jay not Lee not Dorian not Phil not CBum. Arnold! Enough said
Basically Chris has better legs and abs while Arnold had better arms and chest.
Modern body builders look like they have a bodysuit on. Arnold’s proportions are more natural
Arnold No.1 👑💪
Love thr MMM Arnie impressions
Arnold looks better. His lat wing span from a small waist. Longer arms. He just has the genetically more pleasing shape over CB even if CB might have more muscle. Also look at the chest of arnold. It connects to the delts way nicer
The "tech" is so far advanced now, along with the training, it would be a total shutdown by Arnold today.
Do either doctor Mike/nick walker vs Greg doucette
😂😂😂
Greg is awesome....man is a persona😅
I prefer Arnolds legs. They’re just more proportional and fit better.
Hahaha!

I agree. The tree trunk legs of modern bodybuilders just looks so disproportionate and really takes away from the V-taper.
I liked the chiseled look but the striations i hate with a passion. tbh if bumstead was a bit more smaller and proportions i would give it to bumstead, i feel like he was just too massive.
Here’s the thing ..people outside the bodybuilding world know Arnold’s name synonymous with bodybuilding…nobody knows the name Chris Bumstead outside the bodybuilding world….Arnold is a legend Chris is a legend to people who know bodybuilding…which means Arnold always wins to that nobody..sorry argue with the wall
Arnold looks like a super human...Chris looks like a cartoon. Arnold is how you wish to look 365 days a year, Chris is how you wish to look when being judged solely by how much muscle you can pack on, regardless of aesthetics.
Golden era BBer's were trying to show how beautiful they could build their bodies to be, modern BBer's are trying to show how dense their bodies can be. For the sake of bodybuilding, Chris wins...for the sake of life, Arnold destroys.
Since we are talking purely about BB'ing here....congrats Bumstead.
Arnold by a mile! Just the first picture, superior posing skills and actually looks healthy! The way he poses makes it look like his lat goes all the way down to his vaist! Next to this guy, Chris looks like an amateur. :D Imagine what Arnold could have done today! Probably wouldn't even lift if he was born 50 years later, but if he did he'd smoke everybody.
Big calves and smaller quads like arnold look good on a man, male models have those too, it's less beefy, but the glute look so weak on Arnold.
No matter who you think looks better just think Arnold's name will be in the history books will be remembered as the body builder to beat like babe ruth or Tom Brady Michael Jordan cbum is awesome but does he deserve to be on Mt Rushmore
Andrew Jacked vs Samson dauda
Arnolds chest is epic.
I saw arnold at the olympia in 73 and 74 and I've seen sea duck in person at the olympia
I seriously doubt you've seen them both kid .I been around the game for 50 yrs .
Like I said arnold blows sea duck away
These guys nowadays have better fake tams and better understating if nutrition
Put arnold in today dhe would unify all divisions
Arnold, better chest, better arms
Still bodybuilding hasnt surpassed the beauty and definition of Arnolds biceps and chest !!!!! His back spread and bend pose is perhaps historys best , every muscle sculpted in to perfection !!!!!
Hahaha!
Put Arnolds biceps, chest and calves on chris thatd be so sick
74 Arnold was best and his calves even in the present day would be hard to beat ..
No hate on Arnold but he doesn't even compare to Cbum
1974 Arnold Schwarzenegger easily beats Chris Bumstead.
Arnolds arms literally blows Cbums away
Cbum's legs blow Arnold's away! Arnold's thighs looked like pencils, especially in 80
Its not even close, in my opinion. Arnold has a beautiful flow. Chris's arms always destroy the flow for me. His shoulders look to big as well. Maybe if he wasn't as cut and dry, he would have more of a flow. Unfortunately, nothing chris could do about his biceps.
Arnold kills him in every metric that is important to me
and what are those metric?
Biceps and chest 😂
@@mo4d-7 Predictable reply, and totally wrong
@@jmgonzales7701 A question which deserves a detailed reply. If your question is sincere and not a troll, I could put together an answer when I have a free moment.
@@huss03 go
The front lat spread of arnold was 1975 ..when he was distracted with acting and hollywood qas calling
Nowhere near as good as 1973 -1973
Put a 1973 ahredded arnold photo up and stop showing arnold at his worst when comparing .
Arnold only beats him in chest and arms. Otherwise Chris wins hands down.
Regular size bag of chips, small De Vito 😂
