The Golden Days of Bodybuilding

[ivanhelsing2]

I wish I lived that time.. going at the gym with them...

[cowsaysmoo122]

The golden age for steroids.

[saigoth94]

that was the real bodybuilding, real gangsters, training in a hard way, not like now, horny bitches with incredible bellies.

[RedRyderA88B]

why i dont live in this time :(

[MrSchultzstaffel]

Rap music for a Golden Age of Bodybuilding video? Epic fail......lol

[rtorre02]

Good vid, but I had to mute that crap background music.

[CraigSips]

2 mins 54 secs... the ultimate in bodybuilding.

These bloated warthogs of today couldn't hold a candle to these guys.

[1ofakind62]

The 70's were the best of times, going to the GYM,many of the freinds i made back in the 70's were good people,because almost anyone would go out of there way , stop there work and pump to show some kid how to get 70's 80's and 100 LB dumbell up on the incline bench to this day i still kick both dumbells up at the same time with a press to start my set.Thanks to people like Joey B,and Larry B.

Tom Platz' legs make Lou's look like a joke lol. They are fucking MASSIVE!

[janikiraly2]

@cbvett19 tom platz had crazy leg workouts! he could squat 200 kgs for more than 20 reps! and they were hard ass to grass squats!

[cbvett19]

@janikiraly2 I know! Tom is one of my all time favorite bodybuilders! I am trying to did my physique somewhat similar to his, I mean my legs are only 28 and a half inches, but then again I am a natural bodybuilder so for them to be as big as arnolds when he was useing, I don't think I'm doing too bad for myself :-)

[janikiraly2]

@cbvett19 28 is huge good work :D

[cbvett19]

@janikiraly2 Thanks! :D

[gekseppe]

The modern bodybuiling is a crap !

[Crastics07]

Best bodybuilders around, I use the classic tecnics for my workouts all the time, and feel stronger then most do when preforming the new routines. Classic is the new and nothing better.

[AngeloZ1]

Marlena Shaw Feat. Ya Boy - California Soul

The song is actually a remix. Whoever said is ghetto needs to get shot the ghetto way, the original song is from 1969.

[DirtyDubstepSoldier]

These are the body's young bodybuilders should aspire too, the stupid GH Guts of today fuckin ruined it

[SicSeb]

And now compare that to the freaks of today. What a difference!

[r9alexito]

at 1:16 the GREATEST photo ever taken in the history of bodybuilding.

[learninjava]

[HELLO2YOU3]

[mart2224]

[backdraft1420]

Wow Frank Zane is so underated bro, so is serge nubret, personally he was cheated in 75 thats my opinion.

[Tommych83]

@steroidsR4shitheads

Well you should admit that even when they were on steroids, they still looked a lot better then modern bodybuilders.

[poooooow]

@steroidsR4shitheads stfu!

[Kynokeh]

@WhiteFuryman and good old test

[soccerlover10012]

@steroidsR4shitheads if you're going to try and troll at least use proper grammar.....

[excop360]

[lenman01]

Awesome video. Thanks for producing and posting.

[zMikeeee]

Where the fuck is Lou Ferrgino?!

[skateboardsteve409]

@zMikeeee 3:22 guy on right isnt that lou ferrgino , but yeh needed more of him in it. peace!

[zMikeeee]

@skateboardsteve409 Hmmm You're right man! He appears so fast and with his t-shirt on that i didn't even notice xD He indeed deserved more time on this video

[1outsbra]

how many hours a day do body builders work out?would most of them have jobs?

[wootuser]

@1outsbra

45 Minutes to 3 hours in the gym depends on training style.

•International Competition Winnings $300,000 - $400,000 per year.

•Endorsements $100,000 - $200,000 per year

•Appearances $4,000 - $5,000 per appearance

Second Tier 75,000 -100,000 year mostly for appearances.

Third Tier (everyone else) keep your day job.

[crowviking]

Awesome vid!- because it shows the unmatched beauty of 'the golden days in bodybuilding' when organs weren't overgrown causing the pregnant-muscle man look; when legs looked like muscular legs and not tumor-filled flesh stumps. And even better, we get to see friends who united for the mutual pleasure of stress-lifting muscle pwnage.

[mgdisel90]

This song is just perfect for this video!

[tstandsforturbo]

really enjoyed all the alias' of the golden era greats...

[50labs]

@symjetbiker shut the fuck up idiot

[symjetbiker]

[MrCatalano14]

@symjetbiker Why did you watch this video?

[1642010]

@symjetbiker obviously they use drugs... most athletes use it but it takes a lot more then just drugs to achieve that level...

[TheBodysportcom]

@mitchk17 FUCK U ASSHOLE

[Mitchk17]

shit nigger music

[wildmandazza]

awesome keep them comming !!!!!!!!!!!

[visionimagify]

Back when it was about symmetry, not huge hulks.

[rob24svc]

damn, they look good.

[augdog1230]

0:48 I heard that Arnold said he would do squats until he passed out...

[attila518]

@augdog1230 He worked out until he would pass out in any lift at least once a week. The man had more determination and willpower in his left testical than 99% of anyone will ever have in their entire bodies.

[Gorkpunch]

Fucking motivational man, this is epic

[Kukuricudusik]

great work!

[KilliansIrishRex]

good tune.

[ssj3sedat]

[SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

@FreddoX1 I agree... I used to work at one. Wish there was a gym for serious up and coming bodybuilders, no posers.

[narokcete]

[SpinDoctor91]

wow great vid! nothing beats the old-school bodybuilding,it really was the best of times.

[kingdaleclarke]

@SpinDoctor91 ranom question but do you think arnold had the toughest routine? like the most intense

[SpinDoctor91]

@kingdaleclarke

well Arnold trained hard yes,but i did question his form at times.he had insane genetics and a great height for a bodybuilder,which took him a long way.

[MarvelSkyZ]

@SpinDoctor91 Lets bring it back and teach the new school who's boss.

[SpinDoctor91]

@MarvelSkyZ

i agree man,nothing beats the old school mindset and the way of training.i always do it old school style.need to show the new school kids how it's done. ;)

[Jonis128]

Arnold and Frank Zane - best bodies ever! And Tom Platz´s legs!?!? OMG!

[timberwolves03]

not gonna; this song fits the video perfectly.

[NWSaint]

Would've loved to have been around Santa Monica in the mid 60's.. that energy and focus was wayyyyy beyond ridiculous.. without a doubt THE Golden Era!

[lickss]

Great post. Thank you!

[1961barry]

[southport97]

I heard stories where Arnold would fuck with people hard when training with them and give them bad advice.

[jgorerowe]

Truly inspiring. Thanks for uploading. Back in the good old days when bodybuilding was all about the tiny waist, proportion and symmetry

[poooooow]

I feel sorry for Franco he was not so tall, that was his only handicap

[misterphilosophy]

Great pictures! I'm so glad you put names on the pictures. I was starting to forget some of their names..!

[jpickenhahn]
