Sergio was a monster but had the conditioning of a swimming pool with the tarp on it.

He always had a full time job during all of his competitive years. How many of todays pros can say that?

I have a 5lb sledge hammer in the garage, I think it might do the trick!

looks conditioned here. Considering the time frame of course

honestly thats as conditioned as anyone needs to be. the extreme that todays pros get to is way too far, unhealthy as fuck and unsustainable for more than a few days at a time.

oliva there is in perfectly good shape. id rather have a tight 30 inch waist with a bit of abs than lazer etched abs only when fully flexed, on an otherwise bloated 48 inch waist anyday.

hulkster do you have to bring ronnie into everything? I'm starting to think you must be employed by ronnie to plug his arse at every opportunity

One of the things that was so freaky about Sergio was probably that his head was so small...

You ever notice what happens when a fatty cuts their hair or shaves their head? That was probably a bad analogy.

This is a pic while he was in Florida with Arthur Jones if I remember correctly.

Could be wrong though.

In Conversation with Sergio Oliva / By Brian D. Johnston
BDJ: I believe you may be the only person to officially develop a muscular arm with a height (from the top of the biceps to the bottom of the triceps) greater than the height of one's head. Did this phenomenon occur while training with Jones?

SO: This occurred with Jones, around the time of the 1972 Mr. Olympia in Essen, Germany. You see, Jones tricked everybody. He would invite them down and pay for the trip to test his machines. Everyone went down... Columbu, Arnold, Zane... everybody. And as soon as you arrived he would start measuring your arms cold, then he would tell you how much you can increase in a couple of days, and nobody would believe it. All those Weider magazines claiming 21-22" arms would have everyone coming down to 18-19"... and the only 20.5" cold was my arm. After going through his workouts, my arm was almost an inch bigger, and that happened for everybody. Arnold's arm was 19.75", and Weider had him in the magazines with 22.5". It was ridiculous -- all their measurements came down when Jones measured them. It was during that time that Jones measured my arms and my head, and I couldn't believe that my arms were bigger than my head... I didn't pay attention up to that point.

FROM THE ABOVE INTERVIEW IT CAN BE SEEN OLIVIA MISUNDERSTOOD HOW ARTHUR JONES MEASURED HIS ARM SIZE ...VIA HIS LARGE SIZE PHOTO..!!

In one of Darden's books (big arms in 6 weeks), he says he's got the best arm/head ratio (measured with a caliper) compared to others, he also measures Eddie Robinson. Not sure if he says Oliva's arm height exceeded that of his head.
