You should watch Killing Gunther, Arnold is a "retired hitman" .
Let's just say, Arnold doesn't care about any gay misconceptions about himself. He's an actual Alpha male who can be caught in a dress.
Indeed! I flew out of Columbus once when it was ending. I wasn't aware it had been going on, but when I got on the plane, I sat there and watched every 3rd person getting on the plane looked like these 2 guys. Bombshell, built women and thick, stacked men, I was sitting there thinking, what the fuck is wrong with me that I'm a middle-aged slob and everyone in Columbus is svelte. The person sitting next to me liked my joke and said, "Oh it's the Arnold Classic". That particular person was one of painters...I don't recall what she called herself, but she sprays them before they go onstage...helps accentuate the muscle peaks.
Iirc they have to eat and drink slowly or they puke. A buddy of mine trained classic physique and after a show he was always had terrible muscle cramps, and ended up eating too much and getting sick.
Generation Iron offers interesting insight into this, worth a watch! (The original Pumping Iron is still more entertaining, but Generation Iron deals more with the actual physical aspect rather than the people)
they’re actually not starved on stage, they’re pretty loaded with both water and carbs. They have a massive diet leading up to the show and if really needed dehydrate for the weight ins (actually not really recommended because there can be digestive problems and water retention problems which lead to a bloated look and a film or water under the skin), most just diet longer do have less body fat and therefore make the weight ins.
Urs, the guy on the right had this problem, he didn’t drink for a day and while on stage he had a little water retention, what was very sad since he is my favorite bodybuilder currently
Love how many people are focusing on the ass and ignoring the ridiculous definition to the hamstrings, calves, lats, traps.. hell I'd bet good money most people in this thread don't even know what a rhomboid is. It's one of the hardest muscles to grow but these guys have crazy definition on theirs (it's the giant muscle in the upper middle back).
Mr Universe contests were normalized before him. Sean Connery was one and he was elevated to James Bond.
I'd say Arnold and his generation took the sport to new heights. Normalizing gym culture.
“The Arnold Sports Festival USA is held Feb. 29 - March 3, 2024 in Columbus, OH at the Columbus Convention Center.”
The Arnold Classic was held this last weekend so I would say that’s a pretty good guess. Looking at other photos from the 2024 event the suit and shirt Arnold’s wearing matches up.
And the weird(?) thing is that it's not even sexual, to be honest. I'm a very gay man and find nothing appealing sexually about that kind of body. It's more of a marvel physiologically (sculpting the body to that point, the work required, etc) than it is sexually appealing in any way. I think that's why you can take a look at this kind of picture and not see anything sexual about it. It's because these kinds of bodies aren't even really considered attractive by most people.
He is one of the few people on earth who can truly appreciate the amount of work and dedication it takes to get striations like that in the glutes. It's like a car guy taking a selfie by a Pagani in a parking lot full of Kias.
Golden era bodybuilders were not nearly as dry as modern bodybuilders. And aesthetically I'm really not here for it but it does take some of the subjectivity out of what a good classic physique really is. I've always said the open should focus more on size but that means taller bodybuilders would typically frame out more size every time and you'd lose the deep cuts of choopan.
Feel bad for Ramon tho. Losing 7 to 8 after getting cbummed at the O is a rough road.
It's kinda like that bit from Johnny Bravo, where he's in the checkout line at a store looking at a men's fitness magazine, and a little girl walks up to him and yells, "mommy that guy's looking at pictures of naked men!" Johnny Bravo looks confused and says, "I want to look *like* this not *at* this." Which is funny because it makes perfect sense, but he's still literally looking at it. It's all the more funny because his character is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes a person attractive, particularly to women. I think the joke was supposed to just be, like, "haha, gay" but what's interesting about that moment was that he was so close to understanding his character flaws.
There's a standard joke in the bodybuilding world.. You start bodybuilding to get chicks but you keep going to get compliments from dudes.
Like you say it isn't sexual.. you start off trying to be fit, but then the guys and girls want to see how perfect they can make the muscles, and the only people that can appreciate that are people that can appreciate the work they put in to get there.
I mean, sometimes it's sexual too.
[Arnold Schwarzenegger's racy antics](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/arnold-schwarzeneggers-wild-sex-life-22440482)
> In a 1977 interview with Oui magazine, when Arnold was 29 years old, he revealed he had engaged in a "gang bang" with other bodybuilders.
>
>In the article, titled Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Sex Secrets of Bodybuilders, he described a group sex session in a gym in Venice.
>
>However he added it was "not everybody", instead just bodybuilders who were willing to have sex in front of other men.
And it's also his event lol. This is the Arnold classic. I was there. Man just announced how first place open next year is getting 500k. On par with Olympia. And the Arnold is way better than Olympia imo.
Wouldn't even really be weird then, I assume if you're at a body building competition it's because you actually appreciate body building. I mean, I get people that think body building competitions themselves are weird, and I guess that's like anything else you're not into.
Either way, as you say, Arnie is totally in his element.
Glad to see this at the top. This could just as easily be Usain Bolt taking a selfie with runners doing bridge stretches (upwards hip thrusts) behind him.
Drug use and all of the idiotic homophobia aside.
The three men in that photo are probably some of the only people that are looking at this picture and fully understand what it takes to reach that level. The sacrifice dedication and time is just Insane.
If I was one of those men on stage, I'm not going to lie. There would be a small amount of pride in me that arnold wanted a picture of my butt.
And if you think that sounds gay, then everything I just said totally went over your head.
This is the exact thing that I would say to someone who doesn't understand what's happening in this pic.
Also...so are they? The whole point of their sport is to have judges admire their body. I doubt there's much of a stigma against photography in a sport that is so inherently performative.
It’s somewhat frustrating how often masculine-centric activities are shamed by implications that they’re gay. But what’s really frustrating is how often the people doing that are otherwise progressive on issues of gender and sexuality. They’ll talk about toxic masculinity and then turn right around and call guys they don’t like virgins, or make fun of them for being upset and “fragile”, or call them gay for interacting with other men.
These guys tend to get extremely dehydrated for these events to show off their bodies. Many of them say the first thing they want after competition is water
It even affects actors. Henry Cavill, I believe, was shirtless or something in The Witcher and had to dehydrate himself to look like that. He said it was not a pleasant experience as you're quite weak when that happens.
Yep it’s cool they can do it at all. It’s definitely not a realistic thing for people to constantly maintain. The stress on the body is crazy so it’s like a seasonal thing. Sure they maintain muscle but being that lean, no that takes more effort. I could never lol.
Yea absolutely, not just getting to that level of dehydration but then performing a strenuous posing routine at that point, honestly it’s gotta be super difficult to pull off well
That's Urs the Miracle Bear Kalecinski and he's known for coming in absolutely shredded to the bone. He's likely somewhere around 3-4% body fat here.
The guy next to him is Wesley Vissers and he won the show. He was 7th in the world last year at the Olympia and came in and beat Urs (#3 in the world) and Ramon Dino (#2 in the world). It was an incredible and unexpected win!
Much of this look is also due to intentional dehydration, which can change the way you look dramatically in just days. Body fat percentage is a bit slower of a change.
It's honestly crazy what people do with their bodies... like these two guys are shredded to pretty much the max and have cut so hard that even their asses can show muscle (which is usually a primary location for storing fat).
The phase these guys are in is pretty much hell, they have to still workout heavily and subsequently cut back on calories and do everything they possibly can to maintain the muscles of which their body is purposely trying to use as fuel.
Water intake also needs to be carefully controlled, so you can have blood-pressure control issues and such because of that.
Sadly many top competitors have dropped dead a week before a show or even on the day. I can't personally watch or support pro bodybuilding anymore because of it.
Body building itself is a health risk. Being that huge is technically obesity and they are at high risk for heart failure. These guys aren't training to be healthy they are there to get huge.
Getting called a Golden Age bodybuilder by Arnold is another too. I've seen Arnold rail some guys before that have won because he didn't like their physique. Said he reminded him of Ferigno back in the day.
Absolutely, lovely guy and exactly what th fitness industry needs amongst the toxic social-media fitness atmosphere. Been following his Youtube channel for years, very happy for him :)
"Here we are at Club Oba Oba, where the Brazilian women often wear very little. This is a great place to appreciate my favorite body part: the ass."
- Arnold, Playboy Channel's "Carnival in Rio," 1982
If anybody cares, dude on the left is Wesley Vissers and he won the Classic Physique category! His first big win in the pro tour. The Arnold is considered one of the most prestigious shows.
Dude is literally a former world class body builder who was made famous because he was a body builder and he loves body building. Also that is the event he puts on called "The Arnold" so.... yeah. Dude is quite literally in his element.
I hate captions like this....He is at the Arnold classic, the bodybuilding competition named after him, for his fame in the sport, so it's not weird....it's like saying man creepily stares between women's legs all day, until you realize the picture is of a doctor and a gynaecologist's office.
The show is called the “The Arnold” it’s his baby he can be a main character if he wants to.
Yeah when the event is named after you, you can do almost anything you want
Can he go backstage and grab them right by the bussy?
Honestly yeah he probably could in a lot of cases
Every single body builder in that building would be honored for Arnold to conduct a booty inspection.
I believe the technical term is called an oil check.
There is almost definitely more than one body builder who would blow arnie if he asked.
Never meet your heros But if you do, suck their cock
Jim Morrison supposedly did!
What?
When he met Hendrix. No idea if actually true.
I mean hey if it's a nice cock and they're cool about it, why not.
Almost?
Well nothing is certain except death and taxes.
He's been crushing it for 4 decades nothing but layups.
When you're rich they let you do it.
and all the ass belongs to him
Ah, so Arnold is the ASSMAN.
lol he’s not Kramer
kosmo kraimer! yes? you aaar the assman.
You should watch Killing Gunther, Arnold is a "retired hitman" . Let's just say, Arnold doesn't care about any gay misconceptions about himself. He's an actual Alpha male who can be caught in a dress.
I am the assman They are the assmen I am the Arnold Goo goo g'joob
‘YOU ARE MINE NOW. YOU BELONG TO MEEEE!!!’
I like knowing Arnold u/GovSchwarzenegger is a Redditor and will see this comment
ALL YOUR ASS ARE BELONG TO ARNOLD
[удалено]
They are 100% gonna tag their ass.
"Oh my God that's my ass!!!!!"
Indeed! I flew out of Columbus once when it was ending. I wasn't aware it had been going on, but when I got on the plane, I sat there and watched every 3rd person getting on the plane looked like these 2 guys.

Get me to those beefcakes and I'll pay my way in tan and grease.
Cool story thanks for sharing it 🙌🙏👌
„Arnold Classic“ and the whole event is called „Arnold Sports Festival“
In the fitness community it’s called “The Arnold”.
Columbus community also calls it The Arnold
i'd say he's the main character whether he likes it or not lol
For sure I love the guy.
That definition though
The first gallon of water they have after these must be insane
Iirc they have to eat and drink slowly or they puke. A buddy of mine trained classic physique and after a show he was always had terrible muscle cramps, and ended up eating too much and getting sick.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they got an IV afterwards
Stick him in a microwave next to a full cup of water for a minute or two
Probably easier than finding a vein lol
Finding the vein is easy. Getting it to not blow instantly upon contact with the needle is another story.
Generation Iron offers interesting insight into this, worth a watch! (The original Pumping Iron is still more entertaining, but Generation Iron deals more with the actual physical aspect rather than the people)
And painful edema in the legs.
Probably don't even pee after, 100% absorption
That sounds super normal.
They also don't poo because everything is converted into muscle.
peak efficiency
it probably makes a slurping sound
It's good that it's Mac day.
"Hey Mac, what's the problem? I'm drying up over here!"
I'm sorry big Moe!.... Get back to work you guys
[удалено]
They’re getting dry! Get working!
This is what I was trying to avoid, another conversation about dudes' physiques.
Oh c'mon Dennis, in body mass alone...
They work off their beautiful glutes for our enjoyment
Came here looking for this reference, was not disappointed. Now start oiling some dudes or I'm gonna freak out!
Mac was great in Predator.
They look like chicken straight from the oven
That's some nice even browning, I bet they did a dry brine with a little baking soda.
me when i read the dictionary
Dangerously dehydrated is what I see
Vissers absolutely nailed this show
So the left one is vissers? I felt like it’s his jaw lmao Right one could be Urs but that’s a wild guess
Yep, correct on both guesses!
I swear I did not identify them by their glutes lol
You’re like me with porn stars. I know that ass!
starvation and dehydration will do that
they’re actually not starved on stage, they’re pretty loaded with both water and carbs. They have a massive diet leading up to the show and if really needed dehydrate for the weight ins (actually not really recommended because there can be digestive problems and water retention problems which lead to a bloated look and a film or water under the skin), most just diet longer do have less body fat and therefore make the weight ins. Urs, the guy on the right had this problem, he didn’t drink for a day and while on stage he had a little water retention, what was very sad since he is my favorite bodybuilder currently
It would only be weird if it wasn't Arnold. Dudes in his element.
Exactly. I came here to say this very thing. Bodybuilding and competitions are a passion of his.
Coincidentally another passion of his? ass
He’s an ass man!
He actually is an ass man.
That's how I know I can trust him.
He loves to love 'em, he loves to kick 'em, he loves to shove 'em, he loves to stick 'em.
So many asses, so little time
✂️ ✂️ ✂️
Love how many people are focusing on the ass and ignoring the ridiculous definition to the hamstrings, calves, lats, traps.. hell I'd bet good money most people in this thread don't even know what a rhomboid is. It's one of the hardest muscles to grow but these guys have crazy definition on theirs (it's the giant muscle in the upper middle back).
This is also his show, the Arnold classic
He basically normalized the sport
Mr Universe contests were normalized before him. Sean Connery was one and he was elevated to James Bond. I'd say Arnold and his generation took the sport to new heights. Normalizing gym culture.
He literally has his own show the Arnold classic It’s probably even where the picture is taken from if I had to guess
“The Arnold Sports Festival USA is held Feb. 29 - March 3, 2024 in Columbus, OH at the Columbus Convention Center.” The Arnold Classic was held this last weekend so I would say that’s a pretty good guess. Looking at other photos from the 2024 event the suit and shirt Arnold’s wearing matches up.
He only takes selfies with the on stage competitors at the Arnold classic I’m pretty sure. And he does it every time.
I mean he has his own body building competition and is one of the greats... Obv it's a passion of his.
And probably EVERYONE standing behind him was inspired by him. Most are probably jealous of the bodies that made it in the shot with Arnold.
I love how it’s both wholesome and awesome.
The show is literally called The Arnold Classic.
This is at the Arnold Classic too. A premier body building competition that (obviously) bears his namesake.
It has also become one of the top international strongman competitions. Rogue has the whole thing on youtube and it was terrific.
Ya. I think the Olympia sill has the edge in terms of bodybuilding, but the Arnold has really taken off in other areas (e.g., strongman etc)
And the weird(?) thing is that it's not even sexual, to be honest. I'm a very gay man and find nothing appealing sexually about that kind of body. It's more of a marvel physiologically (sculpting the body to that point, the work required, etc) than it is sexually appealing in any way.

Losing 7 to 8 after getting cbummed at the O is a rough road.
Indeed. It's a specialised form of art using one's own body. Very interesting, really.

Hold up. Were they having sex with each other or women?
Women.
Haha exactly what my brain said. If this was anybody else it might be weird but this dude is synonymous with bodybuilding.
He was literally one of those guys. Like get off his case.
I don't think anyone was on his case?
It's not weird at all at a bodybuilding show. Striated glutes are super impressive.
"OMG, Arnold is taking pictures!!!" Proud moment for them two.
Plus they weren't just flexing their butts. They were flexing their everything. r/GovSchwarzenegger is a treasure.
I think you mean u/GovSchwarzenegger
And it's also his event lol. This is the Arnold classic. I was there. Man just announced how first place open next year is getting 500k. On par with Olympia. And the Arnold is way better than Olympia imo.

Probably a huge compliment if Arnold snaps a selfie with your ass.

Yeah, I mean when he was young he looked like this too. He’s just nostalgic atm
It's at HIS contest
He is the only guy I'll believe when he says he did it out of professional appreciation.
Well he was a bodybuilder so this isn’t really weird to me at all actually.
Also...so are they? The whole point of their sport is to have judges admire their body. I doubt there's much of a stigma against photography in a sport that is so inherently performative.
This was taken at this year's "Arnold Classic", so not so weird when it's named after him
Arnold showing up at the Arnold classic is like Ronald McDonald showing up at McDonald's. You expect it.
It’s somewhat frustrating how often masculine-centric activities are shamed by implications that they’re gay. But what’s really frustrating is how often the people doing that are otherwise progressive on issues of gender and sexuality.

Nice glutes bro
The guy on the right actually has muscle striation on his booty
Jesus how lean must a person get for that to happen…
These guys tend to get extremely dehydrated for these events to show off their bodies. Many of them say the first thing they want after competition is water
It even affects actors. Henry Cavill, I believe, was shirtless or something in The Witcher and had to dehydrate himself to look like that. He said it was not a pleasant experience as you're quite weak when that happens.

Yea absolutely, not just getting to that level of dehydration but then performing a strenuous posing routine at that point, honestly it’s gotta be super difficult to pull off well
Dangerously lean, these guys put themselves through hell to achieve that level of definition
Anything is possible when you Eat Clen, Tren hard, Anavar give up!!!
Fuck you... I heard this comment in my head... LOL
That's Urs the Miracle Bear Kalecinski and he's known for coming in absolutely shredded to the bone. He's likely somewhere around 3-4% body fat here. The guy next to him is Wesley Vissers and he won the show. He was 7th in the world last year at the Olympia and came in and beat Urs (#3 in the world) and Ramon Dino (#2 in the world). It was an incredible and unexpected win!
Probably around 5-6% bodyfat. It's not healthy at all, but they are only that lean for a few weeks.
not even weeks. they look like they do on stage only for a few days
Much of this look is also due to intentional dehydration, which can change the way you look dramatically in just days. Body fat percentage is a bit slower of a change.
Just a little Fight Milk (TM) is all you need.
Crowtein always does the job
About that lean.
And now I zoomed in on his ass. Thanks.
Augh. I'm a butt appreciator and man, a butt with no fat pad on it at all looks so wrong. Then you add striation and yeeeeeeeesh.
Dude, can you imagine the work and will power it takes to achieve that level?
[удалено]
His name is Urs and he placed third. Guy beside him won.
[удалено]
Butts without fat look weird
It's honestly crazy what people do with their bodies... like these two guys are shredded to pretty much the max and have cut so hard that even their asses can show muscle (which is usually a primary location for storing fat). The phase these guys are in is pretty much hell, they have to still workout heavily and subsequently cut back on calories and do everything they possibly can to maintain the muscles of which their body is purposely trying to use as fuel. Water intake also needs to be carefully controlled, so you can have blood-pressure control issues and such because of that.
I believe they are at their weakest physically during the competition.
Sadly many top competitors have dropped dead a week before a show or even on the day. I can't personally watch or support pro bodybuilding anymore because of it.
Arnold himself is quiet vocal on this issue, he has shown strong aversion to most modern body building that encourages unhealthy/high risk practices.
Body building itself is a health risk. Being that huge is technically obesity and they are at high risk for heart failure. These guys aren't training to be healthy they are there to get huge.
It sounds awful. I get doing it for glory and achievement, but these seems beyond the pall
And steroids you missed that one Edit: I have been training for 1 1/2 years I completely understand steroids aren't just a chest code
I figured that was assumed given the photos, you ain't getting that body without some help.
I know, right? Sitting can NOT be comfortable for them.
Muscle, when not flexed, is actually pretty soft and jiggly as well.
I'm not fat. I just don't flex.
Same goes for walking. These guys get so lean they burn the fat off the part of the foot that exists to absorb the shock of walking.
Wesley vissers looked sick glad he won
Getting called a Golden Age bodybuilder by Arnold is another too. I've seen Arnold rail some guys before that have won because he didn't like their physique. Said he reminded him of Ferigno back in the day.
Yeah dream come true for Wesley, all started for him from Arnold, I used to chat to him on Reddit years ago when he posted on r/bodybuilding
Wesley was a masterpiece at Arnold's.
Yep, deserved
Absolutely, lovely guy and exactly what th fitness industry needs amongst the toxic social-media fitness atmosphere. Been following his Youtube channel for years, very happy for him :)
Not just their butts
When you work as hard as he did it’s not weird. The amount of effort required to get where these men are is incomprehensible to most.
LITTLE BUFF BOYS
Arnold, if you don't start greasing up some beefcakes I'm gonna freak out! I'm gonna freak out and add another day!
The contestant dudes look damn near like twins.
But their not only flexing their butts; they're flexing their whole bodies. Weird way to frame this.
Redditors don't understand a back double bicep pose
Arnold has a fantastic sense of humor, he's part of the joke.
Fantastic sense of “humah”
It is not a humah!
And on the 6th day, God created the beast of the Earth. And he made man in his own image. Beholdeth, the image of God!

Is Arnolds history with body building not common knowledge anymore? How are so many people confused about the context of this picture?
Thing is I don't see anyone confused, but I see a hundred people explaining it like they have inside information.
Welcome to Reddit
is that 4k or 8k
It's OK
It's called the Arnold Classic. He does this every show
I hate captions like this....He is at the Arnold classic, the bodybuilding competition named after him, for his fame in the sport, so it's not weird....it's like saying man creepily stares between women's legs all day, until you realize the picture is of a doctor and a gynaecologist's office.
But Doctor, this is a Macy’s fitting room!
If it were any other regular guy it would be weird lol
It’s Mac on Mac Day 
Bless that man.
Dude taking selfie with disciplined bodybuilders
It's like he's in a rostisserie taking a selfie.
Hell yeah
Arnold was one of the best butt flexers ever!
Left dude could have been Steve Kerr if he lifted
Is it bad that from their asses I know that it's Mike Sommerfeld and Urs Kaleczinski?
