Schwarzenegger on Trump: I wanted to ‘smash his face’

As someone that has done some work on building muscle mass you're half right. Body builders aren't power lifters, but they not only work on muscle definition by increased reps and sets, they also have to build body mass by increased weight. And part of body building is endurance training as in running daily.

I would put the strength and fitness of a body builder up against the average Joe any day and definitely against a lard ass like Trump or Bannon. I could see Arnold over powering both of them at the same time easily and quickly.

Well yes, I didn't actually mean to imply that bodybuilders aren't fit and strong; generally they are. Also I have no idea whether The Donald can bench press more than a Latte, or even knows how to make a proper fist.

I just find Ah-nold annoying sometimes and was pointing out that his badass-ness is, overall, more image than reality.

Arnold is a male model for bodybuilding, and an actor. He's never been a fighter, and muscles alone don't make him one. *


Even when it comes to pure muscle, bodybuilders are not powerlifters. Most powerlifters are not "cut" and are more likely to have a gut than "abs" you can see. They're also massively stronger than most bodybuilders, whose training is about a LOOK, not functional strength.


He was never half as badass as his image, and certainly not now. This is braggadocio... he isn't stupid enough to punch a president. He has too much to lose.


(* addendum: yeah he did have some training for all those action movies, but again that was mainly about looking good in front of the camera rather than having real combat skills.)

Perhaps but you can't knock him for winning Mr. Universe at age 20. That's badass as far as body builders.

Quick quiz. What other prominent actor was a Mr. Universe contender?

I still can't believe he threw away a marriage by having an affair with a homely housekeeper.

Arnold has a lot of muscle mass of for a guy thats almost 70. Trump on the other hand is clinically obese.

LOL while I have no doubts Arnold would probably win in a fist fight if it was one on one, Trump's SS detail would take down the Terminator with no problem. :mrgreen:
