arnold looks better all around. The only exception may be quads, but arnold's still have much better definition.

Well that pic was when Arnold was only 225....here he is at 240 and top shape

Yeah Arnold wins by a long shot.

Coleman's size is impressive but his.......quads and bloated gut?

How many guys have you seen that have had Arnold's size and proportions and had a waist as narrow as Arnold?



Posted by: Seanp156

Arnold has a much better shape overall x 9999999.



Posted by: 33ecooks

Ronnie hands down... but the shid he's on is more advanced then when Arnold was competing.

Doses have incresed dramatically, as has food intake, and science behind timing of meals and what / when to take in sugar is a bit different. The drugs haven't changed much, if at all. I wonder how Arnold would look if he had access to today's strats back then. A 6'2" 255-260lb Arnold would have been incredible. But it's all still the IF game. When I was about 10 years (or more) younger, I wanted to be a freak like Coleman is today, but I'm preferring the Arnold physique more and more now. Maybe its my joints... hehe.

I look at it this way. If I had to choose who I would rather look like, it's Arnold hands down. Minus the ugly mug of course.

coleman is a big fat ass i hate his body even when he's in shape he has a big gut and i don't like his over all......arnold rocks



Posted by: Prince

I don't think bodybuilders in Arnold's era were using hGH.



Posted by: Malley

You really cant say one or the other is goin to win. Bodybuilding then and now are definitly 2 seperate things! Now days its as big as possible no matter what. Then it was more about symetry, and detail. Sure size was good to, but Arnold didnt have to be 300lbs. to win.

Steroids 1950-1980...1955 is when it beacme well known with athletes
GH 1981-now...not popular till late 1980's


Tom Platz IMO was the first to use it ( I wouild guess 1980 or so) and then Lee Haney when he went from 230 to 248 in less than a year ( 1983-1984)

PLatz had legs as good or better than any pro today or ever. In 1983 or 4 when Haney started using all the new drugs it all was uncharted so it took decades to figure out how far you could take it.

i hate coleman legs , in the pic u posted arnold had smaller guads but they had a much better shape and definition, when it comes to definition coleman = 0

arnold had the ideal formula.



Posted by: Mags

Arnold has overall a better figure in proportion and simply in overall look. Ronnie, I'd admire for just being so huge and incredibly strong. His quad mass does kick the piss out of arnolds, but arnolds go better and as everyone else mentioned, they're more defined. Arnold still has some of the best biceps and chest when compared to bodybuilders today no matter who the contender is. I mean, look at the first photo, Ronnie possibly has bigger arms due to larger tri's but Arnolds Biceps actually look longer, fuller and overall BIGGER than Ronnies. Thats truly amazing and why arnold will always stand the test of time. I'd rather have arnolds physique any day.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN TOM PLATZ'S LEGS??



IGF-1, Insulin, GH, more knowledge regarding nutrition and stacking, plus the RIDICULOUS levels of abuse make this a sad era for BBin. I think Coleman looks like shit. Give me Sergio Olivia or Platz any day!!

Look at the length of his tendons running to Arnold's bicep! A high peak implies less bicep mass.

HERE's one of the greatest of all times: look how there's no peak, but his mass is probably to the tune of 20 percent denser if not more.

And he also had more than a 20 inch taper between his relaxed waist and chest....something no bodybuilder can claim today. In his prime Sergios upper arm was 2/3 the size of his waist....no other man in the history of the world can make that claim.



Posted by: Duncans Donuts

He is without a doubt my favorite. Sergio Olivia at his prime had everything: MASS, narrowness of waist, his famous "Y Taper" - perfect bodybuilding physique. Nobody else in history comes close in my opinion. People claimed his conditioning wasn't on par with today's competition - yeah, give that man DNP, HGH, the assortment of clen/t3 and other stacks and you'd see a man whooping everyones ass on the circuit today.

my goodness.



Posted by: aceshigh

how arnie beat olivia is beyond me



Posted by: ironmanlives79

RONNIE LOSES OUT JUST BECAUSE THE GH MAKES HIS GUT BLOAT. OTHER WISE HIS LEGS ARE 2X THE SIZE OF ARNOLDS/ HIS ARMS ARE ABOUT THE SAME BUT they're more ripped.

My ultimate goal is to have as close a competitive physique as arnold's. I am the same in structure and build. I dont juice (I would but the teacher's salalry I'm on doesnt permit), I laso have great genetics family wise. arnold is sixty. he is still in good shape.
On the other hand, I cant take anything away from ronnie. I met the guy and he is true getleman. BUT, how long is he going to survive after bbing is over for him? His body has got to be fucked up permenantly.

Posted by: drbenroth

arnie by far. also arnie at 225 looks better than arnie at 240
his expression and pose is so much cooler



Posted by: juggernaut

overall, ahhnold, lee haney, bob paris, berry demey, lee labrada, shawn ray, darem charles and mike christian are probably the better bodybuilders than the mass monsters. They all have one thing in common-symmetry. Who gives a fuck about a striated ass or a the fact that you cant fit thru normal sized door? I just dont think the bloat is a point of where bbing should go. Its unreal to say the least, and these guys work hard-damn hard, but it just doesnt look like a real person. And what the fuck is with that big valley in the center ronnie's abs?



Posted by: drbenroth

arnie looks like some kind of athletic god
ronnie looks like a greasy, constipated, pregnant hick...although, im not sure i'd say it to his face.


does my bum look big in this?



Posted by: juggernaut

its really funny how they make him look unreal in the mags. But if an ameteur takes a picture, it looks hilarious, all bloated and shit.

Definitly need to add Flex Wheeler onto that list. He shouldve won the Olympia a few times and took 2nd.



Posted by: juggernaut

ever wonder if the matters of today wouldve been different had flex wheeler won the 98 O', the first where ronnie won by a smaaalllll increment?



Posted by: Malley

Thats a hell of a thought. I believe it wouldve been different because they wouldve set the mold of what bb'ers should look like. Instead of the mega monster who has very little symetrics, it wouldve been a guy like Flex who was teetering around perfection.

this picture is bullshit u got a 140kg monster vs 110 kg does the weight difference really look that much in that pic no it doesnt,,,,if arnie in reality was standing next to ronnie there would be no comparison ronnie wins hands down



Posted by: aceshigh

now im pretty sure u all think arnie has alot smaller waist than ronnie ,,get a ruler and measure there waists in that pic



Posted by: aceshigh

arnies arms were 21 inches but they seem to look alot bigger than ronnies also that pic is bullshit



Posted by: Malley

Sure Ronnie wins if he its in todays bodybuilding, but I think for the most part people think todays bodybuilding sucks. Todays bodybuilder just gets as big as possible with no reguards to any kind of symetry (spelled that damned word wrong like 10 times now). Like I was saying earlier theres no reason why ronnie ever beat Wheeler. Wheeler looks much better and I think 90% or better of the guys on this board would agree. Arnold is the man and theres no arguing that. Yes Ronnie is a enormous monster, but he has a midsection that goes along with that. I am sure that if Arnold shot all the hgh that ronnie takes then yeah Arnold would have been even bigger than Ronnie.



Posted by: aceshigh

im just saying on that picture its not a fair comparison never mind all the off season pics,,but im sure arnie was 8% year round no doubt pfft



Posted by: aceshigh

good ole arnie my hero,,,,never should have even won an olympia but he is the greatest bb of all time



Posted by: Malley

Wow.....and who shouldve beat him? Ferigno? I highly doubt it.

its all about the vaccuum posing with the stomach....I don't think modern BBs could do that if they tried.



Posted by: juggernaut

I agree. I also think (the vacuum pose) brings a little more to the table overall, as well as adding a touch of class to any pose.

the first part of that is very origional for a boy with a third grade education. now if your done being so defensive try and look at the humor of my origional reply"chicken wing". it was meant to be sarcastic. for a name like the "juggernaut" why do you continually keep butting your head against the same wall but not getting anywhere.

Arnold is God.....Ronnie will be forgotten in a few years while Arnolds name will live on for generations.

well not really relevant to the year but the info yes .... but I am willing to bet that ronnie still feels that way . light weight light weight



Posted by: ironmanlives79

arnold was good for his time.(although for the record i think mike mentzer should have won the 1980 mr o. over him) but in retrospect i think there are to many politicts involved in bodybuild. arnold won becuase of his ties to weider. i think the same apply to ronnie. i dont know how they come about these decisions but once you become mr o your pretty much set. no one is going to beat ronnie even if he comes in crappy as all get out. your body can only take so much though, so maybe ronnie will wear out physically like dorian. ronnie is a horse though.

do you really believe that because of ties to weider, arnie was able to swoon a series of judges? Thats a tall order. Wasnt there some controversy about how Arnold shouldnt have been there in the first place because of not even qualifying in past events?

I also believe Mentzer was in better shape than arnold in the 80 O.

As for ronnie, I believe his time is limited because of his ridiculous size, which isnt obtainable by mere mortals. I think the freakiness is a passing genre that will see a demise sooner or later. I'd like to see the shawn rays or lee labradas (read symmtrical) win the major shows.

He took 4th or 5th and that was about right.

I have watched the vid of that show and Arnold was only about 70% of his best....but still better than all in that show.

ive seen the video as well. arnold shouldnt have even placed in the top 6. although i will admit that arnold is a force to be dealt with in top shape he was soft from hollywood at that point. he entered started training for the contest 5weeks out and he didnt decide to do the show until the day of the contest after he found out who the judges were. mike mentzer should have been first or it might have been 2nd since tom platz looked unearthly that night. thats my opinion though. but bottom line arnold came out in the books so thats how it is i guess. -peace.

its a shame in a way. arnold was way ahead of his competition for his time, save for you the 80 olympia. thats when the competion started to catch up with arnold, that he had let himself go. in my opinion the 80 olympia was the greatest showing of all time as far as overall quality.but its so strange that arnold won. with everybody else being dead on and arnold came in at about 50% of what he had been in the past. im a arnold fan for sure but i cant lie and say that was a just competition.

are you a big mentzer fan?? i follow the principals of mentzer hit so im treated as a bit of an outcast on most body building boards in regards to training.--peace.

i disagree with the ignorant part. if sombody calls you a "dumb shit' way out in left field for no reason/you should call them out.then they know theyre in the wrong and you give them an opportunity to grow. but i should know when to quit also so im through with the squabble. peace.

I dunno if I can be called a mentzer fan. I like his principles, as I firmly believe in the less is more ideal. Currently, I'm a huge fan of dc training, which is something spun out of mentzer's system.

I thought Arnold looked like shit but he was still the best in that show....Just think if he lost...he would have got back to 237+ hell even bigger and won it 5 more times just to make a point.

no arnold didnt look the best in the show. and even if he was in top shape( i think)it was very possible platz, zane or mentzer would have beat him. but since arnold had such a high profile by that time it would have been very hard for an upset. i dont say that to take anything away from arnold just that the only person to ever challenge a.s before that time was sergio. --peace.

(a massive inexorable force that seems to crush everything in its way)...I actually got this nickname becuase I've been around first person shooters online since the beginning. My first game was Doom and I needed a nickname. I became well known in circles and through each game I kept using the name.

22 1/2 at his best...but I agree. Ronnie has a hell of alot more size! Arnold is closer than Ronnie is in the picture. Still, I'd rather look like Arnold x1000... He had one of, if not the, greatest builds of alltime. If he had thicker legs he'd be tops...

The bodybuilder today is completely different about the bodybuilder of yesterday. Drugs are used much more now than they were before. Today you have pros stacking and hardly ever coming off. HGH is used all the time now to. Which if thats what it takes to make money and a name for themselves then more power to them. But its taking away from the bodybuilders that care about their health. Tough to compete with someone who has a pin shoved in them 24/7.

Arnold still has some of the best biceps and chest when compared to bodybuilders today no matter who the contender is. I mean, look at the first photo, Ronnie possibly has bigger arms due to larger tri's but Arnolds Biceps actually look longer, fuller and overall BIGGER than Ronnies. Thats truly amazing and why arnold will always stand the test of time. I'd rather have arnolds physique any day.
That is actually exactly what I always say.

Hi, I'm new to the board and this is my first post.

Real quick could someone explain exactly where the gut comes from that Ronnie has, since it's not fat.

Hey juggernaut I just downloaded Elder Scrolls 4, it's pretty fun!

All I gotta say is, Arnold wins hands down!...lol...Whatever happened to the small waists of the old days? I'm always trying to have a small, tiny waist like Arnold's, I don't let myself get a belly or a huge stomach

Roid guts and HGH did away with any type of small waists of years ago.

I really hope that the pendulum starts swinging back toward guys like Arnold and Zane.
