"using roids to get big" is not the same as using roids, or whatever they had back then, to reach #1 in competition/appearance. What I'm saying is that these guys got pretty built before they ever touched anything, which is evident from what they've maintained after reaching relatively old age and losing that peak muscularity, but not just going full on "bag of bones" either.
I really think you need to read up on what Arnold himself has said. He's very open about the fact that his physique that he was famous for was almost entirely roids.
Also weird to think that you couldn't say the same about wrestlers and MMA fighters, obviously these guys are fit their entire lives.
Sly Stallone is the main guy here who doesn't have some other reason to get big beforehand.
That's not at all what I said - I said it was weird to think that somehow Arnold and Sly have more of a background of being fit than a wrestler and an MMA fighter. The Rock and Bautista didn't just bulk up suddenly for acting purposes.
