Anyone else notice this about really muscular guys, even the god of bodybuilding himself?

Sure there are a ton of old pictures where he looked incredible with perfect lighting and just the right camera angle and pose.

But does such a physique always look that great? Back before the age if smartphone cameras and pics that could be taken anywhere anytime there had to be days even Arnold looked bloated or just not on his A game.

Are we comparing ourselves to a standard that never really was as impressive as the pictures and snapshots of carefully planned photos of the past lead us to believe?
