It doesnt matter what he is now. The man was my idol growing up. Arnold is the 2nd coming of Christ. lol :thumb:

Muscle can't turn into fat, they shrink. It's called atrophy look it up.

yes youre right about the turning into fat. that was dumb of me, but atrophy=death of cells no? i dont think that ur cells die just because you fail to life weights

Atrophy refers to the wasting or loss of muscle tissue. With no activity at all, your body will start to break muscle tissue down into amino acids within 24 hours. How much atrophy occurs when you don't train or train as hard as usual is dependent on how built you are, how hard you usually train, and how much you slack off for how long a time.

And those fat pics of Arnold are of course fake. The man's got 10 billion dollars worth of equipment in his house, and him and his metal liquid robotic looking wife exercise like fanatics. The man is not always going to look like Mr. Universe, but he has always been in great shape.

^^ hmm.. i was gonna say they look fake. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just dont see Arnold looking like that. Its not that I think its impossible, but I just cant see a dude that worked out like an animal his whole life, just stop and let himself get that bad... unless he was going through some serious depression or some shit.

Anyways.. I'd never wanna be that big, shit looks ridiculous (although I know thats not how they usually look, they starve themselves before photoshoots to look more defined, and obviously lighting and oil adds to what I see as a gross look)

not only starve, they dehydrate themselves. So the skin sticks directly onto the muscles, don't forget their oil up, which tends to flair/pop muscles out.
