Finally let me say this to the thread starter, based on the title of this thread. Why would a guy want a physique like Arnie? yes he was large, strong and it looked good but really, why is it that guys (some) get so into wanting that type of body? its a size thing obviously, perhaps deep rooted in body dismorphic to some extent and like women who get obsessed with themselves. No attack here, just think about it ... that size isnt everything and if you were to say be in or join the military for example his muscle mass would limit you in many ways ... the large muscle man cant last the long distances, no matter how menacing he may look. Its a balancing act for me, in looking good but also feeling good ... then being strong and having some size ... guys who desire to be such massive sizes are lacking confidence and using that as a way to raise it but it comes at a price. Vince Gironda was probably not far from half Arnies size yet he was always the stronger man in his prime, his lifts and personal bests are unbelievable.
