Arnold had plenty of success on the Olympia stage. He knew what it took to win during his time and he did it well. Like nutrition plans, the prep has changed for competitors nowadays but Schwarzenegger spoke on what his methods used to be.
“It is important to say though: I wasn’t cutting like the guys today. The three months before the contest, I was building up and adding weight while trying to stay lean. I was lighter in the off-season than in season, the opposite of modern bodybuilders. I don’t think walking around like monsters 9 months of the year is safe.”
This was interesting, as it shows how much the sport of bodybuilding has truly changed. You have guys like Nick Walker and Derek Lunsford who are absolute mass monsters most of the year then shed the fat coming down to a competition; whereas bodybuilders of the Golden Era were nowhere near that size even in the off-season.
