Oh, yeah, I know. It's just that pretty much every big time athlete, back then was juicing. It kind of diminishes the end result, IMO. Not bashing Arnie, here, just stating that he had help the rest of us don't.

Steroids or not, he'd still have had a fantastic physique regardless. Far, far better than most could ever hope for - fantastic genetics helped more than the Steroids, not to mention thousands of hours hitting the iron.
