[hoss827]

I've had mine about a month ago. Got it for x-mas from my mother but shew wont let me watch it til x-mas day.... Looks to me like Lou was bigger then Arnold in Pumping Iron .

[hoss827]

God Arnold is huge!! I can't wait to get good enough to compete in bodybuilding....If I get good enough I may even be able to meet him someday. (Hoss keeps dreaming)

[SonGoku]

Does your standard DVD PC player offer any type of screen capture, or do you have to buy specialized software?

[tryingtogetbig]

I haven't seen that in a long time....geez he was huge!

Get specialized digital vidoe editing software BG. Even if the DVD player comes with video manip tools it will be quite basic and you will likely run into things you want to do and cannot.

that's why lou's doing curls with a 50 lb barbell, right?

Just looking at the pic gives us no context. Arnie could be doing sets with that same 50-lb barbell. But Lou not bigger than Arnie, maybe taller and heavier but not better build. Not smarter than Arnie either......not by a longshot.

"Lou, put your arms by your side, Look at your arms Lou!! Like your admiring...Then Boom!! take a look at this hunk of man!!!" ok Lou you try...

[Cycleon]

can you imagine if they had GH and used slin, diruretics, etc back then? - of course they would probably not still be alive today - but the Oak has a frame that defies thought - so did Sergio

[BDTR]

Wow back when body builders still had abs, didn't wear pink posing trunks and dance on stage and didn't do splits. Those were the days...

[cjp85]

I honestly would have not been suprized if some of those guys would have come out on stage stripping. The purpose of BBing is to build a BODY, not dancing, not splits, not any of that other bull****. I hate it

[Polska]

Yeah, he curls with 50 lb barbell in that pic but it doesnt really mean ****. i've seen a 6' 240 lb cut guy struggle with curling a 30 lb dumbell. it was his last set after peaking at 80 lbs.

[Mr. Death]

"Lou, put your arms by your side, Look at your arms Lou!! Like your admiring...Then Boom!! take a look at this hunk of man!!!" ok Lou you try...

I love that scene.

[50%Natural]

Great shots there ketchup. BDTR, you make me laugh. "When did bodybuilding turn into a big gay porno" That thread was funny. Yeah, those were the glory days of bodybuilding. If I was alive back then I would have loved to have the life style they had. Those were the days I wish I could have been a part of.

[mfenske]

After watching Pumping Iron for like the fifteenth time in a month I am left with a few thoughts. 1. Arnold could defeat any pro of today in his prime. Period. He might be 6'3" and 240, but he looks easily as good or better than Jay or Ronnie. 2. Franco Columbo and Ed Corney are my favorites. 3. I thought it was cool that Lou, Arnold, and Franco were still in shape today. 4. This movie is the single BEST pre-workout motivation ever seen by mankind. Mark

[Mandinka]

Those who are avid fans of that movie will know that Lou had just burnt his arms dry doing heavy curls when they handed him that bar.... if you see the pics of Lou before he started lifting , he was a STICK figure and accomplished a helluva lot , and to his credit he looks great today and so far has not suffered major health problems.... I remember reading that he preferrred a relatively low protein intake , perhaps it was much easier on his kidneys over the long run.

No, it's the Ulead DVD player that came with it (my DVD burner, Pioneer A06) that I used for the captures... works quite well... in Ulead you just hit the letter G when you want a screen capture, it writes it to disk as a BMP file, which I then convert to JPG.

Arnold is the man !!

[Demon Deacon]

Arnold is the man !!

That he is

[clockworks]

arnie's front double bicep shot is amazing. he looks like a cobra...

hell, all his poses are awesome...

i agree with whoever said serg nubret (sp?) had a killer body. he seemed smaller, but still very ripped and muscular.

Actually, Arnold was only 6' 1".

Lou Ferrigno was actually 6' 5" and bigger than Arnold...unfortunatley just didn't have the genetic potential to compete with the oak.....not to mention that he left the world of bodybuilding when he was still a very young man. If you ever wanted to see what GH would have done to your favorite stars back then, just check out Lou's shape in the 94' Masters. 6' 5", 318lbs, 3% (est) bodyfat and his arms peeked at nearly 22.5-inches

[KeyMastur]

say red, how about you make me a copy of the movie ?? perhsaps a trade ??

Oops....sorry to have kind of hijacked your thread there Red Ketchup. My bad

[Gorgoroth_]

Lou was old in '94 - Imagin if he had taken GH in his prime....

Nice bump bro. I guess you were doing your research.

I personally like the looks of the body builders from arnolds era a lot more then i do now. i think coleman looks like trash aswell as cutler in comparisn to arnold or zane or any of the other greats.

So you have to be big and ripped to be able to comment on today's bodybuilders versus yesterdays? Come on man... and that comment you made in another thread about Arnold not being the best in his era and that he just had a better game is ridiculous.

I think most people on this board would agree that bodybuilders in Arnold's era looked much better than the ones today who don't even look human. Growth hormone has done a terrible thing to the sport of bodybuilding in my opinion.

Ronnie's gut truely is "unbelieveable" and Jay Cutler should change his last name to Leno.

[decadbal]

haha leno... good call.. yea using my words against me... its ok, i dont mind, i hate arnold... i also hate when ppl badmouth the pros today, bodybuidling has always been about size, it was then, and is now..

[AnabolicAlien]

how can you say this:

bodybuidling has always been about size, it was then, and is now..

how did franco win the olympia then? bodybuilding is mostly about size right now but i don't think it should be; nor has it always been.

I agrew with you, but I still think the BB of the pumping iron era look better than those today (jmo though). The reason for it being the huge GH bellies today. Ronnie looks like an 8month pregnant woman with abs.

[decadbal]

ok this quote was in flex sometime this year, i was reading it today and thinkn bout this exact sub, and how everyone compares today to arnold...

"Every generation of bodybuilders thinks the next one following them has strayed from classic ideal of bodybuildingi. In the 1970s Marvin Eder(3rd place at the 1951 Mr America) told me,"you guys have taken it to far" ". Arnold S.

everyone knows bodybuilding is about size and shape... no one remembers the light weights
