french_muscle · 10-23-2005, 08:21 AM

ronnie without a doubt !

Arnold's back looks so much drier and vascular though.

Grmlock · 10-23-2005, 10:47 AM

It may just be because it was at the O, but Dorian's back has SO much more detail and seperation.

natedogg · 10-23-2005, 12:10 PM

True, BUT...how about the amount of drugs guys like Arnold took compared to Yates and Coleman.

french_muscle · 10-23-2005, 02:08 PM

I think ronnie gots the best one, without hesitation

you mean that arnold took way less drugs than yates and coleman right ?

i say arnold has the best. looks like slabs of muscle on top of more slabs.

Yates = most dense
Coleman = widest
Arnold = ... oldest ... but still good

They are done by a guy who loves to suck Arnold's schlong. As such, if you know photography you can EASILY see that the lighting for the Dorian and Ronnie pics are poor but the lighting for Arnold is perfect.

Arnold's picture is also:

1) Sharpened
2) not too scale; Arnold is the same height as Ronnie and Dorian.

If you want proof its not even remotely to scale, look at their arms. Arnold is well documented as having 19 inch arms in contest. Ronnie and Dorian had 22 inch or larger. In that picture they make Arnold's arms look bigger, and not only that, they make his triceps look bigger which we all know is a joke.

arnold is 6-3

neither coleman nor yates is that tall

I wouldn't doubt it if all 3 of those pics were touched up somewhat, but I think Yates has the best from these 3.

sounds like someone's got a case of the Monday's...

Myself, I've always been in awe of the pic of Yates. IMO, Ronnie's pic looks a little altered as well..

Arnold is 5'11, 6'0 tops. My brother and I have met him in person. Arnold has always lied about his height and Weider has always exaggerated the height of top bodybuilders in the IFBB as much as VM did with wrestlers in the WWF and WWE.

Arnold wears some serious lifts and he wasn't even as tall as my brother who is 6'1".

chasec · 10-24-2005, 12:31 PM

are you serious? i always wondered how i'm 6-3 230 and <10% BF and i'm nowhere near arnolds size; even when he stated he was 230 contest.

it makes alot more sense now.....

Someone else told me the same thing. He said he went over to Ca. in the 70's and there was no way Arnold was 6'2 or '3. When did you meet him Null?
As for wrestlers I saw John Cina in a mall and he had to be at least 6'5. He was literally towering over everyone. They say he is 6'1 but I am that tall and he was much taller than me. He was also huge. He looks much bigger in person. I met jay cutler and I was more impressed by Cina's size but on TV he doesn't look that big. Then someone told me they met Curt Angle and they said he was 5'8 or shorter but the list him as 6 feet I think.

kurt angle has one of the ugliest bodies ive ever seen his peanut head is too big for his body

Kurt doesn't train as a bodybuilder would, he trains for performance.

doesnt it say in pumping iron arnolds arms are 22"

freaking huge arms

dude in predator his arms are still 20" or so and you know he has to be smaller

oldskoolbb · 10-25-2005, 07:16 AM

Guy's I have talked about this before..If you think the heights and weights posted in the mags are true ..well don't believe everything you read.. I have been to 4-5 pro shows over the years. none of those guys are as tall as they say..or as heavy..almost all of their heights are 3" shorter than what is printed. coleman and yates are probably 5' 8" at best..
yates back is much thicker ..and Arnolds arms are 22" watch pumping iron
