Brock Lesnar has 50lbs on a prime Arnold Schwarzenegger

[Valhoven]

Some of the disrespect here on the quintessential bodybuilder of arguably all time is scandalous. I like watching Brock fight but he's a raindrop over the Atlantic compared to Arnold on so many levels.

Comparing physiques of a bodybuilder and wrestler/athlete (while parachronistic, to boot) is apples and oranges to me, but when Brock Edward Lesnar is known throughout the world by just his first name, let me know.

Oddly enough, there's a picture of Arnold with Brock when he was younger:

HERE is a prime Ahnold

Huge if true.

 

[ThinkBig500]

Albeit taller, Brock is definitely not a much bigger man. The fact that he has 50lbs on a prime Arnold WHILE doing a lot of cardio and MMA training means that his steroid usage is off the charts

He is clearly a few inches taller than Arnold and that's with this shitty angle. Broader shoulders too=much bigger man.

And let's dispel with the myth of Brock being 50 lbs heavier. Brock was no more than 280-285 at any point in the UFC. People love to say 300 due to hyperbole/exaggeration but Brock is not actually that size. He was also not nearly as lean as Arnold.

Here's Brock at 265:

Here's Arnold around 250 while being a few inches shorter.

He clearly has more muscle relative to his frame than Brock. Again that isn't surprising given that he was a bodybuilder and Brock is an athlete.

 

[Gorbag]

The upper natural muscular limit of a strength athlete at 6,1' and 6 % bodyfat is around 210 lbs. So Lesnar at 6,3' and 265 lbs is clearly juiced to the gills...

Only manlets care about bodybuilders.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Prime Arnold Schwarzenegger was nothing more than a pussy bodybuilder. He was so big because he was over eating and only bulking up muscle but that's not functional strength, that's nothing. He wouldn't have cardio for a single round. Any male fighter in the UFC roster would wreck him easily.

He started out competing in weightlifting, then powerlifting. Cites Tommy Kono (legend of weightlifting) as one of his inspirations and still as an all-time hero. When Arnold first started bodybuilders were required to earn athletic points (particularly in the US) so they usually competed in lifting events, for obvious reasons. The formation of the IFBB did away with that, but for the first several years of his career, his training was all strength based.

Obviously, Lesnar would crush him, but:

Personal records

• Clean and press – 264 lb (120 kg)[30]
• Snatch – 243 lb (110 kg)[30]
• Clean and jerk – 298 lb (135 kg)[30]
• Squat – 545 lb (247 kg)[30]
• Bench press – 520 lb (240 kg)[33][34]
• Deadlift – 710 lb (320 kg)[30]

I think obvious stuff is obvious here. Brock is bigger, Arnold was better built. No real mystery there.

 

[King.]

In Arnie's Fitness Encyclopedia I thought he said 250ish was the biggest he ever was, and he competed 20 or 30 pounds less than that. I haven't read that book in a while so my memory might be off.

Ah yes you could be right, I'm not 100 percent sure myself. I think it was in the beginning where he lists is stats / measurements.. I'll look it up it I ever find the book again.

Prime Arnold have more quality in his muscles.

 

[woodsideQ]

HERE is a prime Ahnold

and arnold didn't test positive the night of the event

yeah if i'm walking into a cage to fight a grown man give me brock's bod. if i'm walking down the beach give me arnold's bod

 

[lorenzofertatta]

All natty, brah. Phil never failed any tests. Dat dere IFBB wellness policy...

 

[Tebowned]

If you're 266, you'll still have to cut.

Nope. Only for shitle tots.

 

[kungfoolmasta]

 

[Kabzie]

Borks much bigger but both are super mega juice heads so its irrelevant.

 

[The Beast Within]

That last comment had me rolling. I only recently "found out" Arnie is in actuality way shorter than six two. Never once did I think there was a whole fucking website dedicated to it (celeb heights or something). Insane.

he got shorter because of back problems etccc
