Most modern day athletes cannot come close to the completeness and flow of this pose by Arnie. I would argue that 95% of them even look smaller than Arnold, despite him being outmassed by most of today's pros.
The only people I can think of that compete with this picture are Dorian black + white photos, and of course Ronnie could have an argument (based on more mass and sharper conditioning.. but I still say Ronnie can't match Arnie's powerful, aesthetic look. The flow is perfect. Early Levrone is close, but his arms lacked peak/separation, and his lats didn't flare enough.
What say you

This single picture is the BEST front double-bi of all time...

was expecting a Ronnie/Kai pic
If you like the vac.. Shawn Ray has a much more pleasing front double

Just a fun fact; that vacuum arnorld has in that picture, can be achieved by training abs everyday, muscle deep to the abs also get worked and 'hunch' in when well developed.
Learnt it from an arabian pro, as alot of them aim for that 70s look but more mass.If you have spare green pixels, send them over.

Some great submissions in this thread
when it comes down to it though, Arnie in this pose just looks like the prototypically awesome front double bi... like if we were to clone perfect humans we'd use a mould of Arnie. The other pics all have noticeable flaws/imperfections.. Even Ronnie (who I admit is better based on BB'ing judging criteria).. Ronnie's lat's don't flare as much, his stomach protrudes slightly rather than vacuuming, his calves aren't great, and his chest flattens out almost completely. Arnold still looks better

Not trying to start a sh*tstorm and yet another ronnie v arnold argument, but the arnie pic has arnold with his feet split stanced and turning his shoulders to show more depth in his upper body and minimize his waist. and ronnie isn't vaccuming in his pic he's a little more straight on (not dead on)
with that being said, I would take ronnie but arnold still looks mythical in that picture and easily has one of the best FDB ever"I'd like to thank Mom and Dad, just for the genetics." -HBK

Wow all great submissions.
Flex looks great, but the short tricep insertions and slight lack of lat flare take a bit away from his look. Also his upper chest looks a bit weak.. but really, still looks great.
Haney looks insane, best pic I've seen of him... not really much I can pick on here except biceps lack a bit of peak, and they don't attach close to the elbow... very close to arnold, you could definitely argue he's better here, though I still favor Arnold
Ronnie is obviously insane here, though his slight lack of lat width and slight protruding stomach take away from his overall flow, which is why I still give Arnold the edge. But in BB'ing judging terms, greatest of all time, insane size, detail, cuts
