How strong was Arnold?

When Arnold was in town to promote his book An Education of a Body Builder way back when (79-80?), My brother I got to spend some time alone with him in the gym. We asked him about steroids and he admitted to us that he used and that everyone who competed was on juice. We asked him when we could start juicing and he told us to workout a few more years ( I was 19 and my brother was 17) at least. And if we decided to juice to never use for more than 3 months at a time. Also, he was very thin and ripped at the time. He said the producers wanted him to lose weight before filming the Running Man. He was very funning and direct. Very charismatic and confident. He even told us that he will become a super star.

My favorite line "I did smoke the marijuana cigarette....and I did inhale...unlike some people"

:icon_lol:
 
I got the special edition of Pumping Iron and Arnold talked about bb and steroids in one of the special feature vignettes.

Arnold did compete in strength and powerlifting competitions. Back then bb and powerlifting/olympic lifting sports were much closer.

The pic of Franco pressing 4plates+ with no leg drive is awesome.

How about when he picks up 315 and start pressing it over his head yelling 'ARNOLD! ARNOLD! ARNOLD!'. :D

Yeah, that's priceless! I think that's the same section he talks about the gear usage in.

^I didnt even know it was in italics; i think my keyboard is screwed up or something?

But, yeah, that's what i said in my post...("that's for every drug known")ANY drug can cause those effects, NSAIDS included.I only stated "probably", asin maybe a combination of misconduct/carelessness/lack of precaution... 40% of one, 60% of the other
 
I read that arnold put up 225 for 50reps like it was nothing. Not only strong but great muscle endurance.
