Title: Sergio Olvia held his own against current bodybuilders
Post by: Pollux on October 01, 2010, 07:03:04 AM
Even after 25+ years, The Myth can STILL hang with the big boys of today. He may not look as defined, but he looks a bit bigger.  8)

Sergio was 5'9, wasn't he? Just like Phil?

Too bad in today's world he would have caught charges for being a wife-beating cop...

Gawd Phil Heat always looks like such a fucking toolshed in all his pictures.  You just want to punch him in his face.  He's always got some childish fucking grin on his face. 

Pound for Pound one of the strongest, toughest bodybuilders around..........Sipes would have destroyed Oliva.....

I don't know. Anytime someone posts in a thread giving compliments to some old bodybuilder, he types a post about how great chuck was and he posts the same picture

That grin of Phil's that seems to be part of his "charm", it's disarming, lends to a jovial attitude about him. And one of the reasons why people like him, not hate him.  
Ah, yes Oliva the Cuban Olympic weightlifter...


Is Sipes still around...

Lol.
Dude was so tough, that he couldnt take life and killed himself.
Epic lolz.
McAnus is obsessed with guys being "tough" and who could take who.
Hes a classic inferiority/inadequate complex. Always talking about who can beat up who, how hell kick someones ass. Clearly he has issues regarding his own sexuality. Combine that with the whole male nurse thing, and you have a guy screaming at the world because he cant accept the fact that he is gay and locked so far in the closet that it would be easier to find waldo using fucking google earth.

Ive never seen someone so obsessed with tough guys and being tough in my whole life. lol.

I'm not sure of the circumstances of his death , but terminal illness would be a good enough reason for suicide doesn't mean you're not tough just means you don't want to suffer unnecessarily to an inevitable end

I knew Chuck very well. He did not have a terminal illness before he took his own life. He worked at The Preston Home for troubled teens until he retired from that job. He lived in the northern town of Ione CA. After retirement Chuck had very serious family problems at which time his wife and children did not wish to see him. I shall not go into the details ou tof respect  for this very fine man.

cool thing....
and thats 1&2 best in world today

they were good back then and with all the advances time has brought totals out about 30lbs, back then 230's was norm now around 260 or so, jay was what bout 270...
either way a bb'r from 50-60 yrs ago can still get close to "mass guys nowadays...

if he were prime & trained today being onstage at 2010 mr o... thoughts

Under today's conditions, he would dominate much in the same way Ronnie did.

Looking at it from a different perspective, if Jay and Phil were to go back in time to Sergio's era, do you think they would look like this?

those that work with troubled youths and sexual criminals usually need counselling after dealing with these social misfits. that alone could have caused chuck's problems.

He was having affairs and got caught. I used to work forearms very hard because of Sipes.I like the fact that he was an athlete/strong son of a b**** and would jog regularily as well. Chuck took good care of himself.

oh thats a much better way to look at it TL...

i think jay yes its possible, bc he trains seriously and proved for years, never really taking time off.. takes diet serious, hes a real bbr. he could stand with serg

other hand phil, i think has a great build unique, arms obv make him...
however,,, how many years does he have in the gym, really.
then it comes to quality of time... nice way to put it no i dont think he would take serg or even close.  
i think kai beats phil in these regards bc at least how it "seems" with kais deeper mentality & seriousness about training, .
 again nothing toward phil hes obv doing right i just think hes still green re gymtime served compared to others.

i think ronnie would have beaten serge back then.

Hmmm. I'm guessing had Ronnie been around during Sergio's time, he would've had development of about this level:

Is that enough to beat Sergio in his prime? It's pretty close.

If he had a weakness it was relatively high lats. From the rear he was all arms, delts, traps and rhomboids.

He had weaknesses for sure but in today's context , he obviously has no hams what so ever  or calves although they weren't high , and his conditioning even for back then wasn't great but you bring up a great point about his back shot being all arms delts and traps

you always post Sipes photo.  How many times did he letyou suck his cock.  You have admitted before trying out gay shit is Sipes the guy you did it with.  Be honest and post some videos of others fighting and tell us how that is the way you fight.  I always love those videos

Yip for Today's day and age Sergio's lat's are considered quiet high and that pic of him from the late 1960s shows that, however as Sergio got older he started actually CONTRACTING his back muscles more giving his back a Thicker more proportioned look to go with his outrageous arms and delts (angle withstanding... the pic from 81 illustrates that to a certain degree)

Call it what you want, that so–called 'fat' and water gave him sheer size. You can't deny that.

no so called fat , his conditioning sucked his diet was notoriously poor even for his time his conditioning was lacking , he carried a lot of muscle no doubts but he could have been eons better if he followed a strict diet and learned how to peak

Yip your right 1972 was more than likely his prime , however as a older bb mainly the very early 1980s as in 1980-82 Sergio was IMO more Impressive in Certain poses than he was as a younger bber...His Back, Hamstrings and Calves in Quiet a few pics show a more impressive Oliva than in his prime years and his body-weight (its clear from the conditioning in the pictures) was less than his prime years IMO, the side arm pose below is more impressive than ANY picture ive seen of him doing that particular pose in his prime, his conditioning, hamstrings and calves etc was very impressive for the early 1980s

Even after 25+ years, The Myth can STILL hang with the big boys of today. He may not look as defined, but he looks a bit bigger.  8)

bullshit, he had all the mass in the right places while still maintaining a normal 30 inch waist.

jay and heath have more visible 'abs', at least when they diet and pump diuretics for weeks, but EVEN THEN once they exhale their waists are bloated as FUCK with a bizarre look probably filled with enlarged organs...

sergio could walk around like a normal man with a normal, tight human waist while still having gargantuan upper body and arm size.

sergio FTW.

oh thats a much better way to look at it TL...

i think jay yes its possible, bc he trains seriously and proved for years, never really taking time off.. takes diet serious, hes a real bbr. he could stand with serg

i think ronnie would have beaten serge back then.

Jay today can get huge enough to compensate for his wide as a Buick waist. Back then he couldn't with what they were using, and would not beat Serge on a regular basis. Of course Serge did come in too smooth so Jay might beat him on condition alone.

Ronnie could beat Serge, but Ronnie just on roids and nothing else wouldn't be anywhere close to the GH, insulin machine we saw dominate in the late 90's to 2000. I still think Serge has the best BB genetics of all time (structure, full muscles, no weak points) with Ronnie coming in 2nd. Serge's fries, hamburgers, and soda diets don't quite make it.

no so called fat , his conditioning sucked his diet was notoriously poor even for his time his conditioning was lacking , he carried a lot of muscle no doubts but he could have been eons better if he followed a strict diet and learned how to peak

I agree with you about his diet or lack thereof. I've read about him eating pizza and Coke. I wish I could eat that and look like him.  :(

Rick Wayne gave him that moniker "the Myth"...

So he says. Sergio himself has said that it wasn't Rick you gave him that nickname and in fact doesn't know who did. Rick Wayne tries to take credit for a lot of things.

He is holding his own considering how much more drugs the other guys are using, not not to mention HGH, insulin and even synthol....... ::)

All great shots, this is my particular favourite, his smile seems to acknowledge he's at his best, possibly the best anyone will ever look. Also cool to remember when Olympias weren't in the Mandalay Bay Casino resort Las Vegas every single year. I say remember, I wasn't born then but it's cool to imagine it was all old school and awesome back then, even though it was probably full of schmoes and negativity just like today. But this pic is like a piece of proper history.

After looking at the Jay Cutler Synthol thread, looks like Sergio was already owning these guys almost 40 years ago!  8)

Another silly young c unt. That picture is from around 1983 when Sergio was just getting back into training for the Olympia. Sergio was much bigger in early 70's and around 1981 during his WABBA victories.
