Almost in the sense that if Arnold hadn't won, they would have.

That's great and all, but the '81 Olympia is the most elusive.

You got that right. I was at that show and have never seen the top five trophy hand outs on tape.

It's still that way.


But at least now we have the Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM to tell us who won before the show even starts.


Thanks, Musclephone!  :D

'80 Olympia Arnold won - plain and simple. '81 Olympia was totally Arnold's gift to Franco, but you don't think Chris Dickerson deserved '83?  ???

I also think that Arnold won. He was very lean, I just wish he would have come in about 10 pounds heavier. I well, maybe next year.  ;D

Diclerson shoould have beat Franco in 81 (Actually Platz should beat both of them) and he deserved to win in 82.

What you forget is that Dickerson was beating EVERYONE in the 78,79,80 time period.
