I have a buddy who got me into training when I was in college. Over the years he had a few injuries, took time off from training completely, pursued different approaches to staying “in shape”, but through it all, there was always some degree of “leftover” hugeness to the guy. Never used PEDs, but had certain muscle groups that were just great and his body seemed to want to hold onto them.
I saw this image on Dorians IG earlier today, and despite his current regimen of yoga and biking, when I look at him now I realize just how much muscle he built over the years that this degree of muscularity is still hanging around.

Dorian was a monster no doubt. I know guys like you’re describing. Stop hitting the weights and still look far bigger/ stronger than 90% of the wannabes in a commercial gym. It’s like they changed the Make up and design of their body permanently
I can’t believe how flexible he is.
I know he actually used to stretch back in his heyday, but I’m sure being the big yoga fan he is now has contributed as well… he’s gotta be… what, mid 50’s?

Trolling me about age? That ain’t right, brah.

This may not belong here but think it might fit.
Why do some, if not most of the retired pro bodybuilders have little to no triceps anymore?
You mention “leftovers” and it reminded me of seeing pictures of Lou Ferrigno, Ronnie Coleman, and Dorian and their triceps are…pathetic, really. Their biceps are still quite decent though (although Dorian’s aren’t as impressive as the other two mentioned).
Not making fun of these guys at all. Just wondering why the triceps seem to disappear on these guys.
I noticed the same thing with Arnold. Still has a bicep, but just no tricep whatsoever.
I would speculate it’s because they can no longer do heavy presses because of shoulder issues. Just a guess, though.
It looks like he’s taking a slightly larger dosage than TRT in that photo. Still got great muscle separation. He still trains with weights, and is hell strong, but he has some limitations from past injuries. Lots of variations in his photo’s on IG, where he has a higher level of bodyfat and he looks very normal.
Didn’t Dorian tear his triceps AND his biceps at some time during his career?
Yep! Bicep tear was around ‘94 i think, but he kept going. Tricep tear was shortly before his last Olympia (‘97?) and likely what made him finally ride off into the sunset.

Arnold hasn’t had triceps since long before he got old. I know explicitly he didn’t have any in the original predator movie.
