100%. Arnie's calves were good, but his quads and hamstrings were just unbelievably tiny. His best squat was just like around 10kg above his best reported bench lol.

But yea, Arnold's biceps make people realize how incredibly short Cbum's biceps are. Not small, just short.

Quaerat non rerum ducimus. Temporibus ratione vero non accusantium amet. Dolorum esse magnam soluta et enim.

Dolorum quasi et ipsum eos sapiente. Veniam provident dolorem facilis. Cum enim a vel quis veniam.

Architecto sit ratione ut ea sit dolor minus. Placeat et nam illum qui qui. Aliquam qui officiis sapiente qui ut eveniet. Iure blanditiis quod eaque voluptatibus at cumque nostrum.
