Arnie didn't have an ideal body, but peculiar features of his entire image made him look complete, and, maybe, capable of imposing some different standarts in bb (like Ronnie dominated everybody with his gh gut - not so beautiful, but overall - the best, Arnie - with all his weaknesses was the best)

i too agree that african american genetics are far superior for bodybuilding...

sure there are white guys out there with the same immense traits

but by and large the gene pool in the blacks is so much larger in comparison...

(as everyone knows this was the whole slave trade breeding thing that ultimatley caused this to a large extent)

I created this thread in part to see how the opinions and discussion here would compare to its counterpart on another site. And, yes, to rally the troops in Arnold's support.

Included a link to the other site's contest in my initial post.

Arnold won and that was something of a surprise over on Rx Muscle. Thank you to those who voted over there! Much appreciated from this old school fan.

Consider it a kindness to a senior citizen. lol

Hey, by way of reciprocating that kindess, there's a link in my signature to the GAT Web site. "Get your GAT on!"

If you click the link, you may register for some free samples and a free GAT catalog. And who doesn't like FREE?

Edit: Here, this is easier: http://www.teamgat.com/

Plus for any Schwarzenegger fans in the house:

That site offers pics of magazine covers which Arnold appeared on back in the day. May be of interest to some of you!

Of course Arnold couldn't of beaten Dorian in 93, different eras, different drugs, different standards etc. But some people just prefer Arnolds more athletic classic look.

He really did have an absolutely amazing chest!

Oh I prefer Arnold over Dorian any day. But if you have to draw a comparison between the 2 to justify in your mind which of their physiques is better in terms of bodybuilding, you sir are blind.
