Arnold's bodyfat %?

[The Doberman]

Although he was at times very ripped, I notice Arnold had a higher bodyfat than alot of other bodybuilders.

He does not have a whole lot of veins sticking out. I think this look is alot better than the extremly ripped bbs of today.

Wondering, what do you think he BF% was in these pics?

 

[kwyckemynd00]

In either of those pics, i'd give him 7% (mostly b/c he is so massive he's that low...BF is just a ratio).

 

[BigVrunga]

Yeah I'd say 6-7%

 

[CROWLER]

Never notice he only has a 4 pack and his one bicep looks completely diff than the other when flexed.


BTW the BF is approx 20% lol

the peak in his left bi is unreal :jaw:

 

[CROWLER]

Yes it is.


Anyone can get peaks like that you just have to do concentration curls lol j/k


Some people actually think you can get a peak by what exercise you do HAHA

That peak seems like 1.5" ABOVE his delt. I think he had very symmetrical arms, it's just his posing and the picture that shows them different.

I find the veins on his biceps on the 2nd pic very interesting: they are almost exactly symmetrical. I've never seen anyone with the main veins so exactly alike on the left and right arms.

I, like a lot of other people, have a long vein like that on my right arm but a totally different pattern on the left side. Anyone else have perfectly symmetrical veins?

Both the veins on my biceps run down my bicep in a straight line in around the same spot. Other veins, well my bf% is not that low to see the other ones besides the main one. lol.

My vascularity sucks - I seriously have to be below 9-10% even to see the veins in my bi's. My kid brother, on the other hand, can be fat as hell and his still pop right out. Go figure

As for symmetry - the right one is a single vein that y's off about 2/3 the way down, I actually have 2 in my left.
