Back in the day, circa the early 70s, Zane beat Arnold, and Arnold said this about Zane, "I got beat by a man with no body" or something to that effect. To which Zane replied, "Arnold has nothing below the chest" ;D

Was this guy even that good? I see him in a lot of comparison pics... never thought much of him.


So, out of the 1980 lineup, how many of these guys are still alive and kickin'?


Arnold Schwarzakoff, Chris Dickerson, Frank Zane, Boyer Coe, Mike Mentzer, Roger Walker, Roy Callendar, Dennis Tinerino, Tom Platz, Danny Padilla, Ed Corney, Tony Emmot, Roy Duval, Casey Viator (?) Samir Banout and Ken Waller?

Is this lineup even close?

It amazes me how these guys can display a ripped back with a christmas tree but no ripped glutes. Samir in '83 had a back that was as ripped as the current crop of pros, but he too had no ripped glutes. I guess that's the last place the body will burn fat.

ripped glutes don't come from a certain type of diet.

Some ' new ' pics

  It is hard to decide whether Arnold won that contest based on his physique or due to the sheer strength of his charisma. He is a salesman at heart, and he was always outstanding when it comes to selling himself. Arnold was not at his best, but even not as his best he was still better than everybody else. Only at the 1998 Olympia Haney finally surpassed the Arnold of 1974 in muscularity. I think Arnold was good enough to win, but if he were unknown the judges would look at his huge pecs and biceps, and realize this is pretty much the only areas where Arnold was far above everyone else. There were guys with better backs, better abs, better quads, etc. Maybe having the biggest pecs and biceps wouldn't be enough for Arnold to win if he were unknown. So it is hard to tell if he really deserved to win.

Oh c'mon Arnie standing next to Mentzer made Mike look like a baby. Arnie was big, ripped and striated.

Mentzer had no chest, weak arms and delts in comparison.

Arnie had unbeatable calves just needed a bit more hamstrings and front quads.

And quads weren't exactly "in" 30+ years ago!

Coe & Dickerson look better than Arnold

Zane, due to the injury, disrupted training, over-dieted, and lost valuable muscle, otherwise best conditioning in show

The pics of Padilla are awesome, if the guy was 3 inches taller...

Mentzer, doesnt feature, he was a contender only in his mind

Padilla looked awesome, bar height he brought the best package. Zane looked a bit flat but still had his lines and the best conditioning, I also agree about Coe and Dickerson.

Mentzer looked bad, also Arnold needed to come in heavier, the lighter he was the more his structural problems became apparent.

zane was a blend of flowing lines, perfect proportion and great conditioning, so a few pounds down or up made a a much more drastic difference than on someone like platz or franco

I think he looked his best at 190lb or under, I dont know what he weighed in 80, but it must've been closer to 180, looked flat like Jaime said, actually really small :-[

Dickerson was also either spot on, or not a contender (dickerson dominated almost all the early 80's shows he entered, except for francos gift in 81, and when bannout finally found diuretics in 83), but next to a bigger man, disappeared..

I never saw that pic of Danny Padilla in this contest, he was incredible...definitivel y overlooked.

Mentzer not even close to anything, 5th place and people still argue he should've won.  ;D

funny so many of those pics are blurred out of arnold...truth is arnold dwarfed these guys!!!!  his back was all so much better than all of them in person......in the clear pics u can see this is true...he won this contest by a very wide margin..so he won arms,back,calves,chest .he was in better condition,separation and symetry which is what they judged on back then!!!! with so much more ripped muscle than everyone else.....the reason everyone was so mad he won is he always bragged since he retired that he could get in shape in 6 weeks and beat everyone anytime....then when he actually did it they were all pissed and cried foul,scam this and that,, but people who were there said arnold won hands down not close...

funny so many of those pics are blurred out of arnold...truth is arnold dwarfed these guys!!!!  his back was all so much better than all of them in person......in the clear pics u can see this is true...he won this contest by a very wide margin..so he won arms,back,calves,chest .he was in better condition,separation and symetry which is what they judged on back then!!!! with so much more ripped muscle than everyone else.....the reason everyone was so mad he won is he always bragged since he retired that he could get in shape in 6 weeks and beat everyone anytime....then when he actually did it they were all pissed and cried foul,scam this and that,, but people who were there said arnold won hands down not close...


Have you seen the Padilla and Zane pictures? He loses to both quite easily.

apparently he decided like half an hour before the show to enter and did some benches and curls, and boom!

typical arnold bs and self propaganda he excelled at

conan filming was delayed, he contemplated competing at least 6 months ahead of time, and he started training about 3 months before the show, its in the bio 'Fantastic', Im not making this up.

Mentzer, doesnt feature, he was a contender only in his mind

Yeah but the guy was the loudest about it. Difference between Arnold and Mike was that Arnold could deliver.

zane wasnt close
danny too small
dickerson had probably the best package(no homo) on the day, but next to an inferior bigger man, got lost
platz freaky, but not a contender
bannout off
boyer looked great, but it was never gonna happen
mentzer at best top 6
walker not a contender

dickerson was probably closest competition, realistically, but still couldnt beat "off" arnold + politics

imagine the uproar, arnold wouldve probably sued the ifbb and weider..

I've been searching for that pic, seriously Zanes looks like a stringy child next to Arnold with his hugeness and billowing muscle bellies. He literally looks half the width of an off Arnold.

Oh c'mon Arnie standing next to Mentzer made Mike look like a baby. Arnie was big, ripped and striated.

Mentzer had no chest, weak arms and delts in comparison.

Arnie had unbeatable calves just needed a bit more hamstrings and front quads.

And quads weren't exactly "in" 30+ years ago!

This^. Mentzer's no chest made it look like he had an Insulin/alcoholic belly

exactly, zane while really cut looks to have barely more mass than some naturals...arnold absolutely dwarfs him in every concievable way

zane was dwarfed yes, but this was a very off zane, smaller than usual, cut but flat, he had a serious injury, entering the show was a toss up till late

Two things. Zane looks small there but Arnold's structure sucks, he looks as blocky as Jay, Zane has him on conditioning and flow but yeah Arnold is out massing him easily. He was injured coming in to the show apparently.

Fuck knows what Frank would weigh natural probably about 100lbs.


Oliva and Nubret would have sleepwalked through this lineup.

Dickerson was good, but not enough for Arnold

Zane wasn't at his best

I never saw that pic of Danny Padilla in this contest, he was incredible...definitivel y overlooked.

Mentzer not even close to anything, 5th place and people still argue he should've won.  ;D

In Arnold's Encyclopedia, he mentions "I only started preparing 6wks out-half the time I would normally take to get ready." Don't remember exactly where it was, I want to say it was near where he talks about training with the younger guys that had more energy/strength than him, but he was smarter and showed them stuff they didn't know, an equal trade. Their energy for his knowledge.

King ZANE was at his peak is '78. P.S. My mom is gonna meet da King next week, when he comes to Columbus for da Arnold Classic, Big Louie will be there as well. This will occur within a privite party context. Yeah, yeah, here come da mom jokes. I'm just wondering if Big Louie will charge her to have a photo taken with her ;D

I've always wondered if part of the reason Zane's side delts were so wide looking was because he had NO front delts. He wasn't much of a believer in bench presses and supposedly he only "sculpted" what he felt was needed.

In other words, he wouldn't do random exercises like so many "bodybuilders" do.


He really stands out in that lineup of 1/4 turns. His delts don't look like anyone else's.

Good question dys, I read an on-line article about him recently, and he said that nowadays he doesn't even directly train his delts, coz they grow enough just from doing chest and back work. Also, back in the day he posed to "Time" by Pink Floyd, cool dat 8) "And then one day you find 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

      I agree with you, he looked incredible from any angle- but what has got to be the GREATEST mystery of all time has to be what the HELL did he do in terms of a gear schedule in 6 weeks of preparation... I have always wondered about that!
      If you have any ideas on what he could have possibly taken to look that incredible that FAST please write!

I think he also said that if he had to do it all over again, he would have done less, and he would have gone lighter. He said his shoulders are both injured and that once the "aging process' sets in, you are screwed. He say's that they never stop hurting- no matter what he does, but at the same time, they stay nice and wide with no direct training (these days)

I never thought Zane got enough credit for his quads and calves. IMO he had the perfect balance. I don't like the trend now where the quads are so massive that you can't even walk normally. You waddle like a fat man.
