Most people look at what these blokes did when they were well known, as opposed to what they did when they weren't, when you have the ability to bodybiuld, you can make incredible results extremely quickly.

but that's interesting, it makes you think what most of the modern type bodybuilder will be like at 70.
i actually believe most will not reach that age, and if they do, they will be extremely unwell, not saying AS is a picture of health, but I do believe these newer types will be in pretty bad shape.
man look at how Platz trains legs and how he trains his clients,now i think noone would be able to walk after that lolol...Arnolds recorded training is nothing like that.

Franco was built different to Arnold, Franco could translate strength very well, Arnold had perfect symmetry, Zane had the wide shoulders narrow waste, which was the look that was most pleasing, Reeves was similar, but had both symmetry, the classic look and was also very good looking

As as with most things sport, the gifted never really had to work hard at anything, Arnold's ability to work hard was very low, he didn't like to work hard, Dorian Yates incredible work ethic, working Arnold harder would not have made any difference to his physique as with most of these incredibly gifted individuals they were well built is spite of what they did.
arnold did what worked for him
dave draper did what worked for him
casey did
yates did
franco, Sergio
the differance was what they were born with.
not what they ate, what pills they took or what workouts they did.
Actually, besides making most of what you have (genetics),it is really about training smart rather than mere intensity. It may well be that Arnold trained smart.
Alexeev, arguably greatest super weight lifter ever, actually said he rarely trained heavy, and that too many people think training hard is necessary.
well that is right, but busting balls too often is unquestionably stupid.
Who is to say Arnold was lazy, and this guy trained smart. only thing that matters is results.
I remember gary ablett senior once saying he deliberately trained lazy at times because he knew he would be below par if he did all the footy training.
all that matters is knowing when to push, and when to back off. I suspect Arnold and many others know this, in accordance to listening to their bodies.
anyway, enough talk on looks, bores me to tears. I liked zane much better than Arnold, but art subjectivity not really my thing.
I have always appreciated real sports performance rather than mirror athletics.
