Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/01/18, 08:44 PM Hey.. you have to remember that Arnie is in his 50's.. it's almost impossible for him to maintain his size at that age - unhealthy as well to maintain the drug use. Has anyone seen 6th day?? He was HUGE in it.. the biceps shot in the mirrow? WoW. Arnold
Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/01/16, 10:14 AM Hey guys, for any bodybuilders out there, you will agree that Arnold made bodybuilding and brought it into the spotlight. His charisma, dedication and love for the sport really placed the roots for where it has come today. Some of you mentioned Lee and Dorian, but what did they do for the sport? They we VERY poor spokespersons.. what did they do outside of the bodybuilding scene to spread it to the world? Something to think about.. But yeah.. Arnold is truly BODYBUILDING. BTW, did you guys do the quiz this week for Arnold? I got 10/10.. how about you guys? - Arnold

I like mainly his chest and biceps a lot and that makes him a really, really, man and really big man. I adore his physique, and some times like to become like him. Anyway, god bless him, and i love him.

bicep Posts: 315 Joined: 2001/01/26	2001/01/25, 09:50 AM I have met him once, and I asked him few question from what he`s told me. I think he`s one the guys that will not tyr to mislead you . He believes in basic workouts but very dedicated and power of mind.. Get his book, it is really good "The New Encyclpedia of Modern Bodybuilding"

I would really like to meet him one day and i am truly jealous that bicep was able to do it. Every male 10 years ago new this guy and wanted to be like him in one way or the other.
bicep Posts: 315 Joined: 2001/01/26	2001/01/27, 10:18 AM yep I know it was great to meet him, actually it was an accident.. my friend used to worked at that hotel, where Arnie was staying. One night before goin` out I went there to pic up my friend...and DA GOD (hee hee ) I just checked in.. I was like WOW... I think he`s book is great although it could contain more info for beginners...but as he said stick with the basics.

No matter what you think about the man, you have to admire his ability to focus and acheive. As for his career in acting I think you can always count on one thing even if he has "lost his shine" Which I don't think he has. He said it best "I'll be back!" Don't count a man like that out. Ever!
