I'm sorry but when I look at Arnold compared to these newer bodybuilders Arnold looks artistic, it encapsulates what bodybuilding is supposed to be. These other people just look like huge muscley horses, tons of mass and muscle but where is the Greek god/statue aspect?

Arnold definitely held his poses better than others. And not so much of the goofy grimaces and facial distortions as often as these bloated bellied mass monsters.
I think sad,modern bodybuilders are a weak facsimile of true artistic physiques.

Nick……… question , was Dave Draper the first one who hit this pose? or was Dave the BB who popularised this pose until Arnold perfected it???

I likes Andreas Munzer on this pose. His arms where lean and diced like hell.

That picture you have with Arnold and Ronnie side-by-side doing the Mantis pose, should tell you Arnold's the greatest. Not to put Ronnie down but there's a night and day difference.. Arnold had it down to literal perfection…

The mantis pose is to show off the pec, arm and waist ratio. That's why no one does it like Arnold with all the bubble gutting going on.
