First part of your question, "its enough to eat 60-100g carbs/ed and 1g prot/kg each day.. and take vitamin supplements.. from what i know is that to low.. what do u guys think?"
It really depends on you. Most people don't realize that suggested daily allowences and the sort are based on averages. Some people absorb things easier than others. That's why some people can eat and eat and eat and not gain weight, some people have a problem with their digestive tract that keeps them from absorbing nutrients from food. There are some people that absorb too much from their food and that's why there are some people that can only eat a little and still put on weight. Most people fall in the middle someplace. So the answer to that first part is, yes, it can be enough, it really depends on your body and your activity level.
Second part of your question, "how can i become so big?"
That really depends on your body, once again. You may not be able to get that big. You can do everything exactly the same way that Arnold did, and unless you're his identical twin or a clone, you're not going to get the exact same results as he did. Genetics play a huge role in how big you can get. Even with steroids and growth hormons, you're still bound by your genetics. You have to get to know your body, how it reacts to working out and how it responds to food and suppliments. A good indication of your potential is to look at your basic bone structure. Are you tall with narrow shoulders? Are you average height with wide shoulders? etc. etc.
Don't set unrealistic goals, because you will be disapointed and be more likely to quit. I suggest trying to get the same size as someone that's just a little bit bigger then you. When you get as big as that person, then shoot for someone a little larger. Once again, it really depends on you. Some people may be able to stay more focused by just imagining a figure that's impossible, like a comic book character or something.

Yes, it was written in the 80's Go figure Lots of things have come to light diet wise since then. Even the reissue doesn't have jack on the cutting edge science we have here at AR.

i have that book, and to tell u the truth ive been let down by it, i have a few other books which provide alot more detail, his are low for today, this science always grows and changes, 2 years ago, u need 400-600gm of protein, now u only need around your bodyweight. so id stick with what is news for today, so you bodyweihgt plus prolly 50gm of protein, and if u go by todays standerds. arnold as great as he was, woudlnt get a procard. he is the man, but thats just the sad fact

he would have gotten a pro card!? He is disputably the best of all time, including today's lifters. His science is off, but still...

Science (especially math) is way off, if this post is accurate:
100g/carbs ed = 400 calories = 55% of your total daily intake...that means you're only consuming 727 calories per day...
maybe he meant 60-100g carbs/meal??

I agree with rambo arnold is the shit , the best of all time.
as far as the book goes he has a newer one
the other one is outdated the new one is the encyclopedia
of modern bodybuilding. I think his science was off
compared to todays standards but I worked for him
and blew everybody else off the stage.
the diet was meant to be 60-100 grams of carbs a meal.
you can't really follow his plan because of his genetics
during contests he trained each bodypart 2-3 times
a week and also trained 2 times a day for hours
if you tried to train like that without a good arsenel
of drugs you would be quickly over trained.
hope that clears it up for you dude
