First of all, that isn't Joe weider. It's Albert Busek, a long time friend of Arnold's from Germany.

arnold's arms had to be a big factor... nobody had arms even close and all arnold's twisting and 3/4 shots end with a bicep pose...

Not to mention poor old Mr Mentzer came to the Mr O without training chest and his back wasn't equal to Arnies either.

Mentzer looked like a little boy standing next to Mr Govenator.

  Yeah from the nipples up.  They didn't count abs or legs in that show, obviously, though Arnies calves were good, his thighs were thin.  Yeah his biceps were great and his chest was about 3/4 of what it was before, and great lower back, good traps, but he had weak triceps, delts were so so,  and  abs were awful.  Was outposed by Dickerson, Coe, Zane, Mentzer and even Callender.  So thighs, abs, tris, delts all subpar. that's over half your body!  But chest on up he was good.  He won cause of 1 chest 2 politics 3 Biceps 4 politics 5 lower back 6. Politics 7 traps 8 politics.  If he had showed up like he looked in 73-75, it would have been different, but he wasn't close to that.

Good post
however
in the 1980 Olympia coverage issue of M&F, one of the competitors, who remained anonymous, mentioned his worry for Arnie competing. He stated something to the tune of , "Yes, to people who don't recall or know, Arnold looks good today. But his chest used to be like a shelf that you hide from the rain under...he is  a shadow of himself....

same issue in which Mentzer said..."What a feather in my cap to beat Arnold (if he enters...)

Chem, you will recall this

arnolds midsection was excellent in this competition, deep etched abs, serratus and intercostals all highly defined.
genetically he only had the two rows of abs but no one can say his abs were bad, they were tight.

the youtube video doesn't justify anything.  arnold, the mr o winner, was on stage competing while mentzer was outdoors.  what does it prove? 

anywho, mike was a pussy for quitting cuz he didn't win.  wah wah waaaah!

That's pretty light weight for a guy who stood at least 6'1", considering he was as heavy as 252 pounds in 1971.

Post by: Immortal_Technique on October 07, 2009, 01:03:36 PM
Yeah, 208 seems insane. I'm Arnold's height and about 240, and he's about a million times bigger than me!

If Arnold got into the olympic committee (he would get there if he wanted  ;)) he would then propose bodybuilding to be a new Olympic sport.  :D That way there could be a slim chance.

So you fault a guy for trying to get his sport into the Olympics?  Couldnt have been too delusional, it was accepted as a demonstration sport some years back, and if not for the fallout of Samarich(sp) it would have been in without question...given the list of other sports that have been included at one time or another, it's not that hard to imagine..

As for Bens stance on the drug issue, he was referring to the amateur division, who would be the ones competing...they would be subject to the same IOC testing as any other sport.
