Thats because he wasnt the same Arnold bbing knew in that show.

Padilla and Platz looked good in 80, they didnt deserve 10th and 9th, they looked better than Zane, Coe and Mentzer though. Dickerson looked good.

None were necessarily better than Arnold, maybe as good, so obviously Arnold had to get it.

I am constantly amazed by people who think Mentzer should have won the 1980 Olympia. Yes he was sporting hard conditioning but he wasn't anymore ripped than Arnold was, and Arnold made him look tiny.
The only guys who had enough mass to compete with Arnold were Roger Walker and Dennis Tinerino who finished 6th and 8th.


As you see from the second pic Mentzer wasn't all that much bigger than Zane. Mentzer & Zane look small when bookended by the huge Arnold & Tinerino, It wasn't even close.

Here compare Arnolds and Mentzers back double biceps, Arnolds arms are huge and his back is wide, while Mentzer sucks from the back (see the 3rd pic with Mentzer on the right getting owned hard by the shorter Danny Padilla who inexplicably got 10th).

Figo, I have to disagree.

Along with Samir, Padilla and Platz were very smooth and nwatery, not comparable to the guys you mentioned who placed ahead.

You do not speak fairly, totally ignoring A's non-existant 'half body'

C'mon now, be fair.

Are you blind?

get a copy of the comback.  I think Platz is the most shredded guy there that day.  When he's posing in front of the mirror, even Samir was like "holy shit"

Yes, maybe.

I only had / have access to the photos in mags...never saw the comeback...must say M&F did not really show much of Platz and Danny...just relaxed shots...either way maybe they were overlooked

Mentzer couldn't touch Arnold.  Arnold was probably in his best ever condition in 1980 and his structure was vastly superior.

People dump on Arnold for his victory in 1980 but he was still the biggest guy onstage.

biggest does not always win look at dennis wolf vs jay cutler......in 07 Mr. O.

what is the point of these stupid ass threads???  ???

Arnold would have won no matter what!!! don't you all get it?

he won as soon as he stepped on stage, the judges were mesmerized and that was that, he is Arnold for Christs sake, do you really think they would have placed him any where else other than first?  ::)

cool video,platz had ggod look that night,abs were in great shape,u could see in there faces they were drained not like todays pros who have db chins,bloated faces,looked like they coasted on there diets or pulled a rabbitt out of there hats to get in shape.i think both eras have there time to shine tho.arnold was down in size for sure but he was in shape and brought close to his best esp after zanes run of extra hard conditioning arnold brought his body to the new standard of bbing ,and looked great.

Pretty much sums it up.

Arnold had to get into his best condition ever to compete with the new generation of BBers.  He came in great condition, but lost size.  Still looked the best on stage that day other than maybe Dickerson.
