Mohamed Makkawy 1983 Olympia Training
"My diet has been the same as it always is when preparing for a contest. In other words I start out by eating only meat, chicken and fish (zero carbohydrates), then as the contest gets nearer I reduce the amount of food and take amino acids and liver tablets instead until in the last week when I live entirely on amino acids and liver tablets and no food."
"This is the way I am currently training. Every morning, Monday to Friday I work my legs completely. On every afternoon of these same days I work my back. On Monday and Thursday nights I work my chest. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights I work my arms. And if you think I take a rest on Sundays you're mistaken! As the contest season comes around I do not allow myself this luxury. Most Sundays I will do some miscellaneous exercises, training any area that I feel needs extra attention. Currently I am doing some back and shoulder work during these Sunday sessions."

Wow he looks insane! like a little trophy.
I don't get how he ended up looking like that (training with that volume) without any carbs ??? I don't buy it. He left out that he carbed up at least once or twice a week on that diet. Unless he only did this for a limited amount of time like a couple of weeks, Just doesn't seem feasable.
-
Cant believe I forgot Labrada....def on the list near the top
Branch is a legit 5'7 and around 225 - 230 on stage, def not 240 as claimed. Not a littlw guy. Benizia was short and small but complete. Def a small guy top 2. He or Ray ans Imo hes better than Ray.

As I've said in the past, this is the way it was. Diets rarely lasted over six weeks at best and yes, zero or damn near zero carb was the norm. I get a kick out of these bodybuilders who think they're "hardcore" when in actuality they don't realize just how pussified they are. Back then was "hardcore" now..they just THINK and dress like "hardcore" until they actually have to do some work.

If i need to show what is bodybuliding to somebody (one out of BB) perhaps this man could be the first exemple...

Todays pros should take a few tips from Makkawys posing routines.
