Is it possible to get a body like Arnold had without steroids?
I'm just wondering, if you are very genetically blessed, is it possible to build a physique similar to the one Arnold Schwarzenegger had when he was a bodybuilder, or even when he played Terminator?
From what I've gathered it seems like he only used steroids to maintain muscle mass the last few weeks before competitions, and not to gain mass. Also, he won his first Mr. Olympia at 228 lbs which is certainly not that heavy for a man at 6' 2" of height. Later he was about 240 lbs.
I am 6' 3" myself, and I'd say I have a similar frame to Arnold's, just waaaay less muscular of course. I'm just naturally athletic it seems. I weight about 200 lbs and 8-10% body fat. I don't really work out, but have been physically active so thats why I'm not fat or sloppy. I'm 23 years old. How much work, diet and time would be needed to build myself up to a similar physique, but not heavier than 220 lbs without steroids?
I like the old school body builder types, todays are just gross and colossal, so I definitely don't aim to look anything like that. Is Arnold's encyclopedia of bodybuilding a good book to use to reach my goal?
