Just realized why Big Tony laughed at Arnold

[phenom]

For all the times I watched Pumping Iron I never picked this out. When Arnold is greeting everybody at the gym they all look at his chest and laugh. The most noticeable was Big Tony, who I always thought was a little special. There all laughing at the Arnold is numero uno shirt Arnold is wearing. I always just thought he wore it after he won the Olympia but the very first day of shooting at Golds he walks in wearing it.

Man, Franco was supposed to be so strong and he struggles his ass off benching 335 for 3 reps, what's up with that?

In other news, Ronald Regan just became president.  Who would have thought, seeing he was an actor back in the day.

[James Blunt]

It's because he is stoned, not the shirt. It's a little obvious. Eating an orange and laughing ridiculously. STONED.

He may've seemed retarded, but I hear that guy was actually quite a hustler in those days.

He designs the leather jackets for World's, Gold's and the Arnold, I think...(maybe not World's anymore as they are now p-fitness)

Notice after he says hi to Ken Waller it shows
Mike Mentzer at the end of the counter drinking something.
Arnold doesn't say hi to Mike M... wonder why?

I must have watched Pumping Iron 20 times and I've never noticed him creeping in the background there.  Good find!

[Gym dude]

The many times that I have watched Pumping Iron I have offend wondered whowas that other dude at the end of counter.Thanks for mention who that person is Mike M. If Arnold said hi to Mike M. I reckon that there would be some hard core trashing talking between Aronold and Mike M.

it was a grapefruit

I'm pretty sure it was an orange.

Unless the picture on my TV is bust or I'm colorblind without realising it. 

[Sir William Idol]

maybe they filmed it out of sequence and arnold had already won the olympia?

[muscularny]

if you watched the extra footage on dvd and interviews you will see you are 100% right

the mike katz losing shirt deal was done as follows, they had footage of mike lsoing his shirt, then they decided lets film something whereas it will look as it was setup

Man, Franco was supposed to be so strong and he struggles his ass off benching 335 for 3 reps, what's up with that? 

But me makes up for it when he and Arnold are training in the weight pit at Muscle Beach. Franco is benching 315lbs. and at about rep number 8, Arnold cracks a joke, Franco has that shit just resting on his chest laughing, and throws it right back up like it's nothing... 

...of course, Arnold had to help him rack the weight due to Franco's short arms. 

[Pollux]

Yup. I've always felt that.

[Overload]

You would laugh to if you made tons of cash selling drugs and smoked pot all day long...

[pumpster]

He'd already won the Olympia numerous times, whether it was filmed before or after that year's show didn't matter.

It was probably nervous laughter from being filmed, not the t-shirt.
