Arnie

**Hard2Stop** · 08-26-2003, 07:31 PM

Ronnie is by far larger.
Arnold has a better physique.
Hard to tell who is actually stronger. Were not and are not Powerlifters...
Ronnie has more freak status.
Arnold has better proportion.

Preference.

thats just it. back then he was. theres so many more things bbers now a day can put in their bodies and information is much greater now too, for acheiving huge bodies.

**AJbuilder** · 08-26-2003, 07:31 PM

well that was the 70's and lots of things has changed in bodybuilding since then. Ronnie is definitly bigger than arnold but i find arnold to be more aesthetically pleasing. If i were a judge i would pick the arnold in the 70's to win over the Ronnie of today. Back then size didnt always matter and that's why Frank Zane won mr. olympia three times, but nowadays size is always a priority.

**MYNAMEIZGREG** · 08-26-2003, 07:32 PM

Ronnie is much bigger, and more proportional. Ronnie wins hands down.

WHAT THE ****??? Are you ****in stupid, or joking? Umm... where the **** are Arnie's legs? How is having ****ty legs that are UNPROPORTIONATELY smaller than his upper body... proportional?

Yeah, he IS even close. Actually he's so close he's far beyond.

Ronnie's only "proportian" problems were small calves and a belly. Arnold had small triceps in comparison, relatively poor shoulders, no quads, hams or glutes to speak of, an okay at best back. He was chest with biceps and some calves.

He can't touch this. The only person who can touch 1998 Ronnie is 1993 Wheeler.

i`ve never seen a midget bodybuilder

**FroZ** · 08-26-2003, 07:40 PM

How's a massive pot belly proportioned to Ronnie's chest? It's not right to have a thicker stomach then chest.

Thank you for your sane answer

. I couoldn't believe what Froz said

**RAIDER 22** · 08-26-2003, 07:41 PM

ronnie wrecks arnold in EVERY way imaginable. he has more size, strength, is in better condition, and is more proportioned.

but for his time arnold was probably as good as ronnie.

are you some kind of an idiot? It's ok to disagree but you don't go off calling someone a moron and telling them to stop posting because of it. I think now is an appropriate time for you to leave the forum for ever with your tail between your legs.

And as far as the question goes...my pick would be coleman. Arnie wouldn't stand a chance verses most pros of today, by today's judging standards. Weather it be coleman, cutler, levrone, cormier, tutus, priest....arnold wouldn't stand a chance. His physique was good for it's time...but it's dated. Peace

Arnolds shoulders weren`t poor and his overall feature kills Ronnies because he looks normal NOT like some Anabolic junkie who spends 6 hours a day in the gym and goes to competitions with a protruded belly. And who has 7 olympia titles ..not Ronnie... just look at the score sheet.

Amen. If you have a potbelly you don't deserve to win.

I reckon arnie looks way better - he kept the drugs in moderation

Honestly Froz, shut the **** up. Firstly, you snapped on me, which was wrong to do. Secondly, you were wrong; Ronnie kills Arnold. As Zach and Poppa Pump have stated, Arnold is nothing compared to Ronnie.

Bitching about one body part doesn't cut it. Aside from his abs, which is a mixture of a short torso, which he can do nothing about, and just being so big, Ronnie kills Arnold in back, triceps, shoulders, and the entire leg region. So, shut up.

Good, so then just shut the **** up, because your opinions don't matter to anyone.

I'm done arguing with people who don't make sense or offer valid points, goodbye. Feel free to attempt to get a final word in, since I won't be here to answer it.

**LouFrigNo** · 08-26-2003, 07:57 PM

Your current Mr O ... why is he wearing pink boots?

**AJbuilder** · 08-26-2003, 08:02 PM

I know i'm not the only one that thinks ronnie is an ugly mess.Ronnie may be bigger but he can never do the stomach vacuum that Frank Zane can do so well. Having a great set of abs do count too and Ronnie just fails miserably in that department. But judges nowadays dont really count that up too well . Arnold's physique is more aesthetically pleasin to me considerin his large bone/fram structure.
