I agree with this 100% and I don’t just think that about Ramy. I even thought Chris Bumstead’s shoulders looked a bit too big this year, but that is just my personal opinion. It just takes away from the arms so much like Arnold said and even the chest a bit depending on the pose
Its easy for a youngster to just say that Arnie is being salty when he criticizes today’s BB’s but….you just really cannot argue with him on ANYTHING he says. He is absolutely SPOT ON. They look AWFUL now
If Ramy and his colleagues would stop injecting synthol (filler oil to make muscles look bigger) then this wouldn't be such an issue. Also, Ramy wouldn't have those craters in his enormous legs from synthol injections gone bad. Bodybuilders don't just get holes in their muscles from working out.
As an older gentleman, I can’t tell you how weird I think it is when you die your hair orange and your beard is gray. It looks so stupid. This is from a huge fan.
Come on Arnold,you know you didn't deserve to won 1980 Mr olympia. Talking of symmetry Arnold, didn't you have terrible legs but managed to win 7 Mr olympias?
Aesthetics really has taken the backseat in favor of sheer size and conditioning, for the open category. I agree with Arnold, size is a detriment if it's without purpose, it's the complete package that matters.
What gets me is how a person like Ryan Terry a guy who actually dedicated puts his whole life into it only places 7th why size it's pathetic symmetry is the real art get right proportions not who can pack on much mass to win..
It's rare now to see the art of bodybuilding in the sport.. Arnold was an artist, he knew the other guys couldn't match his complete approach to the art of bodybuilding..
Facts, if Andrew gets 10ibs more muscle in the right places he can win the Olympia because of his big waist to shoulder ratio.. And he looks like a classic competitor if you don't have a good eye to how good his physique is
Astethics should be the number 1 most important thing in bodybuilding. It's about creating the most Greek God like physique and the most beautiful body possible. Size should never come by exchanging Astethics for sheer mass. That's why Arnold and frank Zane looked a lot better than Ronnie Coleman and Jay cutler. They were massive but they had incredible Astethics, symmetry and proportions. The mass monster look is not only not as appealing to the eye as the asthtic build, but it is also much more dangerous to the bodybuilder himself. The damage they get from becoming that big is irreversible. Arnie is over 70 and mass monsters nowadays don't even make it to 60 sometimes.
And wtf are you talking about? Arnold was never massive. He was actually way smaller than every guy on the mr O stage. He couldn’t even make it to a mr O competition. Ronnie was way better than Arnold. Goat
@@psychwardsandSCENE he was nowhere near as big as bodybuilders now, by being too big he means some of them just focus on mass too much, arnold despite being "big" had a very nice flow to his body
Anytime you praise aesthetics for championship standards you're in some way talking about Bumstead. But I hardly think Arnold's saying he has the perfect body per se. After all, Bumstead's weakest, most glaringly dominated feature, his big flaw, is the biceps. And here is the OG Mr. Biceps *specifically* talking about biceps being dominated, especially by shoulders!
Arnold is still the goat…these physiques nowadays for the open division are ridiculous. Nobody is bodybuilding, they are now mass building. Just not the same as the golden era. I miss the days of Arnold, Frank Zane, Franco Columbo, Larry Scott-true bodybuilders
Arnold is correct, but unfortunately that's what open bodybuilding has become. A size game. The judges are looking for size as well as other factors and it's destroyed bodybuilding. Classic physique all the way
Arnold surely knows best 👍and he looked incredible during his prime years and he’s still in good shape just like his good friend Sylvester Rocky Stallone !
When I used to go to the gym, I had a trainer ask me why are you working out so hard? I replied with I just want to be healthy. He had responded back “Diet is 80% of being healthy.”
What made Arnold so famous was cause he had the perfect body, the average population doesn't like the way today's bodybuilders look unless u r a fan of the sport. Arnold was big but not overly big
So true. Compare the gigantic quads with the calves nowadays and it really looks silly my opinion. Arnold had great calves that matched his quads, Dorian also payed much attention to his calves. It’s looks so much more in balance when you look at the legs.
He sounds more and more Arnoldy as time goes by.
You always go back to your roots
Sounding arnoldy is the same sound everyones voice makes when youre trying to talk but you have a cold and a stuffy nose.
@Horizontal Horizons Talk about sounding more and more Austrian!
"they. Think. Bigger. Is. Bedder"
He has vocal lessons to keep his Austrian accent though
I agree with this 100% and I don’t just think that about Ramy. I even thought Chris Bumstead’s shoulders looked a bit too big this year, but that is just my personal opinion. It just takes away from the arms so much like Arnold said and even the chest a bit depending on the pose
Thing with bumstead is he basically buried Ramon on muscle maturity and muscularity on everything but the arms. Everybody has weak points.
@@jjmuti3979 Bumstead has a bicep injury though
“Where one body part doesn’t steal something from the other body part” Arnold, your chest stole the entire show.
Arnold forgets his upper body overshadowed his legs. By miles.
Spot on assessments
Totally agree. But it's a journey; Ramy might be able to adjust and improve.
Also the hips looked wide takes away the V taper
He sounds like he is giving a scientific lecture...
Spot on!!! GOAT
More Arnold than last time
Arnold does know what he's talking about!
Freedom ("Screw your freedom") is what matters not biomass.
Your right but that’s why classic was created
He’s kinda right, people can’t help their muscles attachment points though. Peoples pecs attach to peoples arms differently.
Its easy for a youngster to just say that Arnie is being salty when he criticizes today’s BB’s but….you just really cannot argue with him on ANYTHING he says. He is absolutely SPOT ON.
They look AWFUL now
He’s so right though it’s insane
È vero non l'avevo notato . Ma ramy a sto giro era veramente fuori forma . Era più informa un mese fa . Grande arnold
Yes. Great comment and analysis !
7 time champ for a reason
Spot on
Hes spot on!
Ramy needs to takes notes from Arnold’s wisdom.
OPEN is "sick". Classic Physique is the real BB
He is so right. Big doesn't mean better. These guys need to learn how to pose.
If Ramy and his colleagues would stop injecting synthol (filler oil to make muscles look bigger) then this wouldn't be such an issue. Also, Ramy wouldn't have those craters in his enormous legs from synthol injections gone bad. Bodybuilders don't just get holes in their muscles from working out.

Talking of symmetry Arnold, didn't you have terrible legs but managed to win 7 Mr olympias?
Meanwhile his own massive chest covered and shadowed his abs 💀
Totally right!
He is correct
That’s why fans are shifting towards the classic physique category now
Nope. These new classic physique fans are Casual hype train riders
Nobody is shifting anywhere
Ps
🖕
I think classic physique is changing too
People want aesthetics. Mr. Olympia used to be aesthetic
yeah but the winning the classic olympia is meaningless people want to win the olympia to go down in history
And competitors are you kidding me😅
He's spot on
Yup the guys that Arnold was on stage with looked way better than tve top guys today.
@@NovaScotiaNewfie the golden era will never be matched 💯
@@cardinalprosoftwash Naw, Ronnie era was better
@@harrissr.615 I can't argue with that
@Viki M as if ol Arnie wasn’t on gear as well lmao.
He's like a beefy Santa
“Who is your reindeer and what does he dooo?!?!”
'scrrrew your freedom'
u are best
Ho, ho, ho, hold my curls!!!
Jingle all the way
If he was the head judge, Samson would be Mr. Olympia.
Samson was so kick@ss! So happy for his placing even still
lol his conditioning was terrible, though. barely any cuts and no striations whatsoever.
@@psychwardsandSCENE yeah idk why these guys think Samson should have won
It totally depends on the Judge's personal anecdotes???
Andrew jacked*

If that were the case then big ramy and krizo would have placed much higher in open.
Not the case Imbecile, otherwise ramy would have won
@@eshenmaresch1868 they look terrible, no
Arnold's chest and biceps were in a different league to anyone else. They're huge and perfectly proportioned.
Abd he could touch his toes. What made him special wasn't size, but functional development.
He pulled out his best Christmas sweater for this one 😂
Pulled it out from his "Jingle All the Way" movie set locker lol
@@dm1torres1 😂 your right
Ancient Greeks said the same about symmetry. For ex. Circumference of the neck, arm and calf should be equal (something like that)
The GOAT has spoken! Now heed the legends advice
Exactly
Ramys enormous quads and glutes also overpower his hamstrings
Spot on I think olympia needs go bk being more about symmetry rather than size like old school body building
Believe me ,they were trying to get size then as well.
Just trust me on this issue. Size was king.
Zane was the exception
What gets me is how a person like Ryan Terry a guy who actually dedicated puts his whole life into it only places 7th why size it's pathetic symmetry is the real art get right proportions not who can pack on much mass to win..
Classic physique exists 😒
It's rare now to see the art of bodybuilding in the sport.. Arnold was an artist, he knew the other guys couldn't match his complete approach to the art of bodybuilding..
especially the limited legs look....lol
I beg to differ...Arnold was one of the best but Lou Ferrigno was bigger, taller but still aesthetically perfect.
Bro read Mike Mentzer’s articles and other untold stories about Arnold. He wasn’t the dude you think he was. Complete back biting Snake!
Ronnie was the only one who could have size and symmetry and great conditioning. But even so he started having gut issues
Even Ronnie lost his nuance at a certain point
I wouldn't say he was ever aesthetic, though.
@@DPAE-xc4ph he was in the earlier days
@@DPAE-xc4phif you just unironically used the word “aesthetic” you should stop caring about bodybuilding
@@Heizzer47 if you don't understand that bodybuilding should be all about aesthetic then you should stop caring.
Definitely down the road Andrew jacked has potential to get the sandow
Absolutely. Amazing shape good size, just needs condition. Same imo of Samson
As long as he doesn’t play the size game and blow out his midsection. Hopeful that he will learn from those who came before him.
Even though he hasn't peaked yet, I still consider his to be the most pleasent physique to see on stage.
Facts, if Andrew gets 10ibs more muscle in the right places he can win the Olympia because of his big waist to shoulder ratio.. And he looks like a classic competitor if you don't have a good eye to how good his physique is

I don't know how somebody can compare Rami and Bumstead one guy looks like an athlete the other guy looks like a walking refrigerator
He seriously needs to judge at the Olympia! His input is seriously needed!
He can be like Steve Weinberger in million years Steve is best judge olympia 2022 is proof
Let's appreciate Arnold's knitwear!! Merry Christmas!!
There goes ur freedom
Well said Arnold
Terminator never fails to speak fax
"Bigger is not better" the legend himself proved it
how? he was always one of the biggest guys on stage...
@@psychwardsandSCENE she Just jealous of other guys because she is old now she trade the bodybuilder for movies and pay the price
@@moozy420 i don’t think the most iconic bodybuilder is jealous…

When he said it made his biceps disappear. He said it exactly like in predator movie
"If it bleeds - we can kill it".(c)
Great point goat.
Thank you Arnold no ones going to argue with that
Bodybuilding is a statue sculpting sport. It is art.
Classic physique is really the sweet spot for what the Governator is talking about I think. He's spot on. Open is just grotesque at this point.
I agree with him and I don’t know anything about bodybuilding.
He's talking about Bumstead having the perfect body

Say that to my girlfriend
😭
Couldn’t agree more ! It was the first thing I noticed with Ramy !
Lol 😂 the men know what he’s talking about he really lived and won 🥇 on the biggest stage 😢 sometimes old school is the way to go
The legend has spoken and he’s totally correct 😊
Arnold said Ramy's back double bis is a good pose, but how, if his lower back isn't even there?
What the hell happened to his lower back?
@@mattgraver3604 Maybe nerve damage or atrophy
@@yousufibrahim884 If its nerve damage then its curtains for his career
Preach Legend Preach. Reason why Classic Physique is gaining more attention then the Mass with no lines. Its the Fn truth!
This is why he was the best. Imo
Absolute GOAT
Preach Arnold!!
The O G is talking! Only Love and respect!
The way he said: "and the bigger is not better" 😂
He said, "And bigger is not better"...not "And the..."
the God of bodybuilding speaks
My wife said bigger is better
So that was her excuse huh?..
That means she is greatly disappointed !!
Yes, she said that.
Fantastik, I think she is genious
Who'd she say it to?🤔😹
"If it bleeds" "we can kill it"
Consider it a divorce
I let him go
“I have to s**t, so open your mouth!”
😮💥🔫
Good movie 💪🏽
I ain’t got time to bleed.
"Stick around."
Arnold is correct, but unfortunately that's what open bodybuilding has become. A size game. The judges are looking for size as well as other factors and it's destroyed bodybuilding. Classic physique all the way
Good advice , I see what you're talking about .
If Ramy followed these tips from the legend Arnold..Ramy would be unbeatable again
Arnold surely knows best 👍and he looked incredible during his prime years and he’s still in good shape just like his good friend Sylvester Rocky Stallone !
When I used to go to the gym, I had a trainer ask me why are you working out so hard? I replied with I just want to be healthy. He had responded back “Diet is 80% of being healthy.”
Arnold made a very valid point, which I wouldn't have noticed.
to be fair this is why they created the Classic Physique category. Because thats what Arnold is talking about.
They should have had picked Flex Wheeler to win in 1993
What made Arnold so famous was cause he had the perfect body, the average population doesn't like the way today's bodybuilders look unless u r a fan of the sport. Arnold was big but not overly big
for an Austrian, he explained very well to English speakers and made to see the imperfection in bb
You gotta hear the opinion of the expert 💯 !
King Arnold!!
Always correct on how to do "body building" the right way. Those guys on stage were just pregnant men with too much drugs intake.
So true. Compare the gigantic quads with the calves nowadays and it really looks silly my opinion. Arnold had great calves that matched his quads, Dorian also payed much attention to his calves. It’s looks so much more in balance when you look at the legs.
Arnold's calves were his weakest link.
Arnold wiseness 💪
Old school is the way to go!
IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, ARNIE DEFINITELY DOES.
People thought he was dumb and he inspired half the world. Doctors brain and a soldiers mindset,what a guy 👏😭 we're not worthy
He hit the nail on the head with big ramy. If ramy cut 20 lbs he'd be a monster
When proportions, symmetry and aesthetics are overlooked by size
Back in his days bodybuilders were just smarter
Arnold is the man, true legend.
Everything looks better from the back 🙂
Take that comment section.
Exactly why, I feel Wesley Vissers has the best size, frame, and aesthetic in modern bodybuilding
Nah. He’s way too blocky. Nice guy tho
Wesley has an Awesome physique-I'd rather walk around built like him than anyone in the whole Top Ten personally..Definately a subjective sport..
Wesley is someone you prefer to look like over open Olympia.
Facts!
He definitely knows what he is talking about , makes sense
If you are not choosing bigger then why have so many different categories just give shandow to cbum.... open class is for mass and freakiness.
You're correct, good job Arnold 👏 👍
Wow!!! This coming from the guru of Bodybuilding…
