Somebody said something about the Pro BBers today using more gear in a day than Arnold used in a month. I highly doubt this is true. If you talk to any successful bodybuilder out there that's willing to divulge the amount of steroids he takes in a week, you'll find out, that the majority of the biggest guys at your gym are taking far more steroids than the pros. The difference between the two, is that the Pro BBers have the genetics to build a trophy winning physique. You've also got to consider a couple of things when comparing Arnold to Coleman, or any of the newer BBers. Most of them are SHORT compared to Arnold. This makes a lot of difference when comparing their sizes. Arnold competed at somewhere around 240lbs at a height of 6'2-6'3, while Coleman has recently been competiting at somewhere around 270lbs-280lbs but at a height of only 5'11, and a lot of BBers are shorter than that. If most of today's successful BBers were as tall as Arnold, their physiques would not appear AS overpowering as they do now. Hell, look at the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno. He was 6'5 and competed at the same weight as today's BBers, but because of his height, he never came off as being as large as even Arnold did. Point is, when comparing today's BBers to Arnold, you've gotta realize the height they give up. This makes a huge difference in how their physiques stand out. The last thing you've gotta consider about today's BB world, is the amount of knowledge that has been uncovered in the last 10-20years. If you go through and read Arnold's workouts, they seem VERY long, and a good bit different from what the pros today use. Knowledge of nutrition and supplementation has also gone to all new levels since Arnold's time. Combine all these things together, and I'd be willing to be bet Arnold and the pros today use/d the same amount of gear.
You got to low them barbell rows, funniest shit to do in the gym, I owe that to Dorian.
