Black Physique vs White Physique Question

[Ryda]

Arnold was a good bb but the competition was weak in his era.he made a comeback here in oz and was given the title again because the promoter Paul graham who Arnold was his best man at his wedding was going to get the title regardless what shape he came in.lets look at Arnold wide waste and droopy shoulders or poor clavicles for his height legs were shit .chest arms and calves were his best point.look at the competition lee and ronnie had compared to Arnold.there was an incident were Arnold refused to guest pose along with Sergio because he buckled when he say him pumping up before he took the stage.if there was ever a bb that was over rated it was Arnold but he was the best in that era which only had a hand full of competitors.

Arnold was not over rated!! But best of all time? No

Arnold was genetically superior. You would have to be to win the mr. universe title at the age of 20. Doesn't mean Austrians are genetically superior.

Hitler felt the Aryan race was genetically superior, and a lot of people died because of the this notion.


Jimmy the Greek - probably sports most accomplished odds maker, was fired from his syndicate station job for his allegations that blacks are genetically superior by selective breeding.

"The Blacks are the superior athletes because on the plantation they took the big Black man and mated him with a big Black woman to get a sturdy future slave."

I agree this was my point, you make alot of sense there big guy

Samoan people tend to be big. Eskimo's tend to be fat. Maasai tend to be tall and thin. Pigmies tend to be short. There is no doubt that ethnic groups tend to differ in physical characteristics. The problem, however, is when you see a black male who is well built and leap to the assumption that it was easy for him to get that way because he was black. There are simply too many variables involved to make that type of assumption.

It would be equally bothersome for a black person to view a well built white male and leap to the assumtion that it was easy for him to get that way because he is white, and therefore obviously rich and therefore could afford the best supplements.

It's totally true that different races of people can have predisposition towards certain traits. There's also a whole other side to it, and that's a culture's values and a person's upbringing.

Of course there are some huge Russians ( like me) because that culture values strength and strength sports. We like baseball. Compare Alexeev and Babe Ruth as role models and guess which one will lead to future generations of jacked people...

Back to your question though. Although genetics have a big role in everything, I'll bet that a lot of what you are seeing is the result of a lifetime of physical activity. Ask any of those guys how much doritos they eat while playing video games every day and I'd bet that they'll all laugh at you. Ask the same age/build middle class kid and you'll get a different answer and thus a different physique.

Well said, 1bigun11. This is the best post in the entire thread.

If you were trying to make the same point, then you failed miserably. Maybe you shouldn't run your mouth quite so much . . .
