"At the 1970 Mr Olympia, the judges called Sergio Oliva and me together at the end of the evening. It was clear that the scores were close, and I was wondering, What can I do to convince the judges it's not close, and that I'm ahead of him?
I wasn't that convinced myself, but I had to psych myself up because he looked awesome. They called for us to free pose [posedown] together.
This was my last chance.
"We posed and posed. He'd hit a back shot, I'd hit a front lat spread. He'd come back with a thigh shot, I'd hit an arm shot. He'd throw in a side chest - all this stuff was flying around like crazy. Finally, Sergio leans over to me and says, 'I'm wiped out. Let's walk off' I said, 'You're right, this is too much' He waved [goodbye] to the crowd.
I made one step to the right [as if to leave the stage] and Sergio walked offstage to the left. I stayed onstage and gestured in his direction [as if to ask] 'Why is he leaving? Why is he surrendering? I hit some more shots and the crowd was chanting, 'Arnold! Arnold! Arnold! Then I bowed and walked offstage.
I became aware at that point in my career how quick improvisational tactics are crucial to winning a contest when it's close"

You still have not addressed the issue. According to your logic you are gay. Do you agree?
-
Arnold may not be an intellectual, but his personality, will to win and even wit can't be touched.
-
did nobody ever notice that Arnold was always leaner than Sergio also??? When people talk about these 2 competing, its always about Sergio beaing bigger or whatever, but when Arnold was bigger than anybody else at first, he lost a couple of contests.He beat Sergio simply on the whole package of size and conditioning
-
Arnold = White
Sergio = Black
hope this helps
-
yeh and the fact that ronnie coleman and Lee Haney have the most olympias ever and theyre both black
what does colour mean???

They like to alternate Mr. Olympia winners between white and black.
Huge Nasser is Arab so he fit in neither category and as a result they withheld his Mr. O titles.

yeh its all about race and not physiques........ ::)

100% true on both counts. All the BS about psyching out opponents in contests that Weider controlled and decided is crap, revisionist rhetoric used to manipulate those who want to believe it. ;)

It means it's a significant factor when it's close, unlike your examples.
-

Ya it's all about physiques, nothing to do with Weider's agendas through the years or the fact he controlled the outcome. ::)

There goes Pumpsters credibility when he say's hes not black, or racist. haha.
LOL ok buddy lash out with more speculation about me, about her hahahaha talk about a narrow demographic amongst many on getbig. I'm gay because i don't agree with the angry white guy segment here. ;D
I'm talking specifically about this situation and have no sympathy for this guy and his "hard earned money" LOL he might be quite the load to deal with on a daily basis let alone 20+ years.

;D

Wrong.
You could be white as the day is long, but since you said those words, no one on getbig will ever believe you, and you'll get the race card thrown at you forever.
My advice:
Post your pic and prove us wrong ;D

Strange I know. Que fatal attraction pic.

Nice shot; anyone who knows equipment knows that's some serious shit. The Cybex on the right goes for $1,100, the speakers for about the same as does the TV which looks like 32". ;)
That's over 3K of gear in one shot. :o

Since you're so hip why don't you tell me what specific equipment is there genius (model, etc.) i'll give you 5 minutes after which time it's official that you're clueless and have been going nowhere fast with those pics.
Plasmas are not essential right now; they love idiots like you who walk into stores believing that.
This is the same doofus who disparages Venice Beach.

i see some cheap small ass speakers, you're so poor so you use the original boxes for speaker stands (that must do wonders for the sound) and on top of this "big screen tv" (oh brother) you put a fan (!)
whatya mean plasmas are not essential? in this day and age its either that or a lcd screen, not that old junk you got
im starting to think you're retarded, which would explain a thing or two

Not always true you fool, but salesmen love sheep like you. ;D Those speakers are the same ones used by the publisher of Audiophile magazine-he could get something 10 times more expensive like you would, but didn't.
1-2 years of posting that pic and all this time he didn't realize it's high-end shit, while i was laughing my azz off bwahahahahahahahahaha
