^^^ i tend to agree ...i hate the distended ab look ....both were very impressive tho ....makes me wanna go to the gym right now ...great vid and post. I prefer the Arnold type physique (although as mentioned his legs were always lagging) ..I just hate the turtle tummy look on coleman...

I would say hgh at probably 10-15iu per day or more, for no telling how long.

**jimmyinkedup** · 01-16-2009, 08:56 PM

^^^right on hgh. Insulin abuse / misuse can also cause visceral fat ..that is fat surrounding your organs which also can lead to a distended abdomen . Id say mostly its the hgh at high doses prob almost continuous use...

if arnie had bigger legs and shoulders he would be the best ever.His upper body is amazing but lacks some shoulders and alot of legs which is why when i got into BB he was my idol until i relized his trrble weak points.

Arnolds the man, thats why his tits are my avatar. His legs were perfect, those huge legs found now a days are very unappealing to me.

ditto ... gotta give that much muscle respect, but it is sooo not practical - the word freak comes to mind

**IM708** · 01-17-2009, 11:31 PM

What happens to your nuts when you legs get that big. Is it no big deal since their already the size of raisins or...

CRUNCH

**amcon** · 01-18-2009, 12:12 AM

arnie's arms and chest are amazing, look at his calves

**IM708** · 01-18-2009, 09:53 AM

From what I've read he had a very hard time building his calves out of any part of his body, but he pulled it off. I would love to aim for a physique like arnolds. But the new things these days seems to be gaining as much mass as possible no matter if it's disproportional to your body height or to another bodypart.

How is it possible that jay cutler @ 5' 9" can weight 274lbs but Arnold who is 6' 2" weighed 235lbs? Insane.

im not getting into an arnold vs ronnie debate, as there are far too many opinions and it will never be decided lol, but one thing for sure, is that arnold was not in the same league size-wise as coleman.

Some things that spring to my mind to help that statement:

In some shots/angles (particularly when getting into position for the bench press early in the vid) arnold doesnt look that big, just in good shape. Ronnie looks freakishly big from every angle, in every pose.

I think at his biggest, arnold would still look of normal proportions when wearing certain clothes, whilst ronnie would still look big in a sleeping bag.

**gymnerd** · 01-18-2009, 03:23 PM

Man, Coleman is an absolute beast. I would rather look like Arnold any day though.

Agreed also...

**BIG PAPI 08** · 02-02-2009, 10:11 PM

they both are amazing for what they accomplished but i love the freakish look coleman has.

**uniit** · 02-03-2009, 03:20 AM

I love Colemans chest n abs

**garythompson** · 02-04-2009, 12:05 AM

arnold is the man and there is such a thing as too much muscle

**jbm** · 02-06-2009, 03:33 AM

Coleman is the best!
Arnold is a classic!
If Arnold will be competing today I bet he will be really freaky...

**planes** · 03-19-2009, 10:31 PM

Arnold at his peak was 240 in 1974 and Coleman 5'11" 247.

In my opinion Arnold was much better competition wise.

Coleman was bigger but ugly and too big.

There is no concern for look nowadays. Its all about size.

Arnold spent hours designing his body and working on proportion.

His legs were not too small but in proportion to the rest.
