GET TO THA CHOPPAAA!!!!!! ART INSPIRATION AND OTHER STUFF FEATURING ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND WILT CHAMBERLAIN

Get To Tha Choppaaaa!!
Back in 1982 , the movie titled Conan The Barbarian was released, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger [6 feet 2 inches tall] as Conan, shown in the first pic. it was a fantasy sword-and-sandal film, and it started a cult-like following.
And in 1984, a sequel was filmed, titled Conan The Destroyer. Arnold returned to play the title role, and that movie added Wilt Chamberlain as a co-starring fighter named Bombaata.

No doubt, Arnold was and still is a big boy. And in the two other pics from 1984, he was on the set with Wilt Chamberlain [7 feet 1 inches] and Andre the Giant [7 feet 4 inches]. That pic puts things in perspective. Some guys are big, and others are much bigger.
Anyway, Arnold has an impressive physique that can be used as art references for drawing muscles.

Some Facts: Through bodybuilding, back in 1970 Arnold became Mr. Olympia at the age of 23, a record he still holds to this day per his age at that time. And Wilt once scored 100 points in the NBA, while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors back in 1962. And Andre used to sit in the central aisle on the floor while traveling on smaller private planes, because the chairs were too small.
