I still feel a bug part is illusion like I was trying to demonstrate in my pics a few pages back.
Remember Arnold was 240lbs at his heaviest, and compteted most of his career around 210 - 220 lbs. And he looked like a monster. These days....a guy at his height would be on stage in the 260-270 lb range.... Although I hate the current physiques. I like that they opened up the Classic Olympia class.
Then you have Frank Zane....some who believed he had the perfect build.....and he competed close to 180 lbs although he was shorter than Arnold.

The side by side pics of Arnold and Franco(who was at least 1.5' shorter lol)always blew my mind when I was a 120lb kid who just started training. I remember Franco Columbo stating in an old magazine article that it was easier for him to pack on thickness compared to Arnold since his muscle belly's were a lot shorter(IE-biceps) in comparison. IMO he was thicker than Arnold lb for lb especially his front lat spread.
