There’s a reason why Arnold Schwarzenegger is hailed as a legend to date. His highly chiseled physique and ostrich egg biceps to date stand unmatched by modern bodybuilders. Even the best in the sport collate and get compared with the pro’s build, they don’t intrigue the community as much as he did. On a similar note, a recent Instagram post issued a comparison between two icons of the sport from the past and the present.
A picture featuring the ripped backs of Mr. Olympia Classic champion Chris Bumstead and seven-time Mr. Olympia Schwarzenegger surfaced on the platform hours ago, which urged the fans to choose a winner. Hence, the bodybuilding community deduced a clear champion based on their insights.
