A pre-1975 photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger doing a front double biceps pose. Schwarzenegger always twisted his waist to make it appear smaller from the front. He didn’t necessarily have an extremely wide waist but not as narrow as say Sergio Oliva, Frank Zane, or Steve Reeves…and certainly not as narrow as Brian Buchanan which some have considered to be too narrow. Schwarzenegger also did not have a long torso. A few bodybuilders have long waists that detract from their overall proportions. Even though Schwarzenegger is not particularly known for aesthetics, as were Frank Zane and Steve Reeves, his physique definitely had a flow and he is one of the most genetically gifted bodybuilders ever.
