The bodybuilder with the worlds best legs and distinct facial features:

He competed with Arnold atleast once, in the 1980 Mr Olympia. He is credited as the Granger son #1. To be honest, I don`t even remember who the Granger is, but I have seen this movie 3 times very frequently and I have no clue. Well, anyone?

(Sorry if somebody was grossed out by the picture, but it`s only his legs and I couldn`t find any better pic.)

Never noticed him at all, will have to look out for him next time i see this movie!

As for his legs thy are easily the best built legs in the history of the sport, i know some may say 'well ronnie's are bigger' but when it comes to shape, definition, striations and overall development KNOW-ONE comes close!

Having said that Flex Lewis probably has the very best genetics for leg development in history, however he's smart enough to realise that to be successful you've got to be symetrical and is working hard on bringing his upper body in line with his legs!

I think Granger was the guy who owned that mansion and said 'well be careful. He's kind of a d!ckhead, if you know what I mean?'

His part may have been cut out. I did notice Roger Callard (he's standing in the driveway of the bighouse that Arnold jogs to...he's got a gay 80s moustache) he's a bodybuilder from Arnold's day too.
