aszumilo Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The only redeeming quality, about that Cap drawing, is Rob didn't draw his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have his book "Coming on Strong" that I read when I was a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably that tall but not that broad. ps. Haha also look at how small his other arm is! There is no way that is real. The photo looks touched.

But he was relatively short and it's much easier to sculpt a short body than it is a long one. That's why Sergio Olivia and Arnold were so impressive back in the day. They were tall and thick.

The guy on the left is Jay Cutler, a former Mr. Olympia, a big dude himself. The man on the right is morphed. Based on Cutler, the guy on the right would be about 6'6" and weigh slightly north of 500 pounds Nobody is even close to that. Here's the most massive Mr. Olympia competitor of all time, "Big Ramy", about 5'9", who's contest, stage-ready weight is about 330 (100 pounds heavier than Arnold in his day) and goes up as high as 400 pounds off-season. These pictures aren't altered. There's no need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
