Arnold had the best BB body by far imho. Todays BB's are too bulky and good for nothing but lifting. Arnold was able to actually do more than lift weights.
He was massive but at the same time he was not too bulky.
Let me tell you I am not anti-Arnold by a long way, I was a huge fan of Arnold AND Mike. I just don't agree with the 1980 Olympia, it's as simple as that. Arnold 73 74,75 was incredible and there is no doubt at all he has done more to promote the sport than anyone.
his legs are in proportion with the rest of his body, most of todays bbers have quads that drawf thier calves making them look like have chicken drum sticks for legs.
bodybuilding causes disorders of both the central and peripheral nervous system rhabdomyolysis,tumorstimulating,lu expansion,aortic regurgitation,sedentary leisure,hepatotoxicity,psychiatric long term disorders,acne,tooth decay , bone fractures , influenza, cholera ,
The most renowned federations of the 20-th century were IFBB,NABBA and AAU,and their biggest titles respectively mr.Olympia(IFBB),pro mr.Universe(NABBA)and mr.World(AAU).Arnold is the only bodybuilder to ever win all these 3titles,and what is even more unique-he did it at the age of only 23.Overall he won 11 top professional world titles(+2 amateur)from different federations-7mr.Olympia,3 pro Universe,1 pro World,a record which stand to these days!
Arnold after a 5 year layoff, trains 7 weeks reaches maybe 60% of his best and blows Dickerson, Zane, Coe, Mentzer etc. away! INCREDIBLE! And listen to the applause! The audience loved Arnold and agreed that he was the easy winner here. Way to go Arnold!
Correct - LOL. Same as early 70's. He hoped time had stood still be it had not. Things had moved on - his physique had moved back. But at least he had a lot of spare cash and friends on the judging panel....
arnie didnt deserve to win obverious no way he had a early 70s physic not a 1980 one he was outdated how he won was by politics like in every other sport
dude r u crazy, arnolds overall physique was PERFECT u cant beat perfection and thats why he won and besides it still quite wasnt the 80s generation yet it was just 1980 not 1985 or anything.
Arnie wasn in his best shape, thats obvious...think when you compare him to his previous comps your more critical. One thing is for sure though...he won that contest fair and square...Mentzer was never in the same league! Arnie was better in terms of physique and wat he did for the sport and thats why he won. Otherwise mentzer wud have had the sandow...plain and simple! No conspiracy there :)
Why dont we get pose down videos of Mentzer, Coe, or who else deserved to win Mr Olympia 80. I saw Platz and Zane posedown;Zane did not derserve to win, I think.
I wonder what should have been the top 6 in this competition,and what position Arnold deserved.
We can be judges if we had enough video evidence.
Simple - Frank and Tom were friend's of Arnold. Also when the ridiculously biased "The Comeback" video came out many years ago, Mike Mentzer was not in the footage, and no side by side comparisons of Arnold and Mike. Not hard to figure out, huh?
Arnold in 1975 no doubt he deserved it, here in 1980: A smaller and smoother Arnold, a winner? Now thats politics for you! F*ck Joe Weider! Bodybuilding's Don King!
Boyer Coe was not even IN the 81 Olympia you retard. Him an Mentzer BOTHJ boycotted the 81 O, because Arnold was promoting it in Columbus Ohio with Jim Lorimier.
INCREDIBLE! Arnold lays off for 5 years, trains only 7 weeks, shows up in maybe 70% of his best and still beats the h eck out these clowns. I am impressed! Way to go Arnold! Imagine if he trained 8 weeks! WOW!
Ill agree with you there I dont think he looks as good as he did in '75, not sure he should have won in 1980...but hey ho, its history and his names on the trophy!
Arnold won because he is Arnold. Much like Franco in 82 as well. Arnold wasnt himself but didnt pose or look terrible like some state. Like or not..Arnold IS a true Champion
Arnold deserved to win in 80. I didn't feel that Franco, even though I have been a big fan of his, deserved to win in 81. Symetry & proportion is everything and Franco with 1 leg was NOT symetrical.
Mentzer's many flaws were apparent during the prejudging. So were Coe's as were Zane's. Dickerson's and Arnold's strength's. Arnold trained only 7 weeks for this contest after a 5 year layoff and beat those guys at about 70% of his best shape! WOW!
Take a good look at the still shots. Arnold's upper body symmetry and size beats Mentzer even though Arnold was not 100%, his legs were not what they were in 1975 but the total package was better presented than mentzer who's wide hips and stretch marks on his lats and pecs make for a less asthetic physique. Onecould argue that every IFBB contest is "fixed" due to the fact that the results are designed to sell magazines.
Mentzer chastized Kal Szkalak for saying the 78 Olympia was fixed. Mike said the IFBB judging system was the best in the world. He sure changed his tune in 80. FACT: It wasn't fixed. All competitors were under contract with Weider so it made no difference who won. Arnold won becaus even at only 70%, he was better than the rest. Just barely, but better. Coe & Mentzer couldn't handle that. Too bad!
Why did the CBS sports team then take away all their crew and decide not to air the show after spending money on it and filming it, citing that it was obviously fixed?
Why don't you contact CBS and ask them? By the severest of critics own admission, 40% booed the decision. That means that 60% (the majority) cheered and approved of Arnold's win. You must be like Mentzer; the only thing bigger than your mouth is your stomach!
What was dumb was Mentzer & Coe and the way they reacted to this contest. What you may not know is that both Coe & Mentzer bad mouthed Arnold for years after the 75 Olympia never thinking that he would come back and compete against them. It only took Arnie 7 weeks of training to destroy them. And stupid was these two guys destroying their careers over a personal issue.
You're wasting your time talking to Weightmoron98,he hasn't a clue about bodybuilding...his point about Weider having them all under contrsct and not caring who wins is laughable,its precisely because they were all under contract that he could pick and choose who won...he Weightmoron98 can't see that of course...just as he can't see Arnolds mamy faults
well he won, cos the crowd loved him but one of the worst posing routines ever, virtually every pose was on arms, or bit of chest, no lat spread, no back lat spread, no abs, cos his chest was weak as. arnold looked the best in 1975. he won cos he had contacts. thats it.
These shows are won and lost during the prejudging. They have to hit all the manditory poses there such as lat spread etc. But I agree that Arnold's charisma won the title for him. Mind you Mike Mentzer never had a chance, too blocky and unsymmetrical.
Just imagine what the atmostphere for the return of Arnold Schwarzenagger in 1980 Mr Olympia contest in Sydney Opera house Australia. It would be electrifying. What do you all say? If any were there to see Arnold pose you would just gasp!
Yes, gasp, then fall about laughing. Hew as not competing against the bozos like little Franco, his best buddy, and smooth Lou Ferrigno. He made the mistabke of his like 0 but money and his buddies being judges bailed him out. LOL
But Arnold Schwarzenagger is known to the TRAITOR, enemy of the world when he became the world's known Republican politician who he once were the America's very best world icon today because of his movies.
Arnold is Hectic! Just imagine what the atmosphere must be like. Electrifying don't you think? Its like watching Brazil win the world cup against Germany 2002.
The diference 1980 from 1975 (Pumping Iron):His Abdominals decrease and his waste become more large.His back become even more large too, making his arms smaller.Less Defenition...He had the perfect body in 1975...after all he remains the king of kings:"The wolf on the hood it´s less hungry but he wants the food is there"
Mike Mentzer had him, and everyone else, beaten at the 1980 Mr. Olympia. Has anyone ever seen Arnold Shwarzenegger hit a rear lat spread pose? I haven't.
Yeah ive noticed that also, about not doing the rear lat spread, in the book i have he would say when they had a wider or better back and hit the latspread he would hit a rear double bicep cause thats what he thought would impress the judges
come to think of it i never seen arnold hit a rear lat spread pose. he does every pose in the world except for that pose. i read his back his back wasn't one of his strong points
at 24, 39 & 57 secs is what I truly talk about sheer size, volume and symmtry. Please have mercy on my soul for watching the holygrail. The Austrian Oak!
