Always wondered how big Arnold would have been with todays science??

Does anyone else ever think about that?? Arnold was 28 years old and already pretty much retired after a ton of bodybuilding titles.. Most of the guys today are mid 30's before ever winning an "O" title!!

Also what if Arnold in his day had access to the same AAS that we (and the Pro's ) have today!! I mean look at his Physique at 240#! He looked Gigantic and he was 6' 2" tall! Today's equivelent on the circuit he would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 310# !!

Just think about how damn big he would have been with another 60-70# of muscle on him!

nd what if he would have kept competing until he was say, 38 years old before retiring??

He would have like 12+ Olympia titles to his name!

i think arnold with the GH turtle shell gut, and the bloated nasty look, woulda ruined what made him so great....symmetry and physique.

both which are gone with todays beasts. as much as i love and respect the beasts - arnold had that star quality and the physique to go with it.

very good point but = arnie would have been the biggest freak out there

I think Sergio Oliva would be a much more freaky modern day bodybuilder, that dude was HUGE, and he apparently didn't follow a very great diet or anything.

IMO! bodybuilding 25 to 30 years ago are simple compared today it's so complicated due to scientific advancement...

when i look at his old pics i do see a hugh upper body but I don't think anything would make those little legs (compared to his upper body)grow much if any bigger.
