There is a video of Arnold and this 1980 Mr. O contest:

Btw, in the original Pumping Iron book (1974) Arnold's weight is listed as 235.

Hard to believe he was prob on dbol maybe 600 primo and plus or minus deca and looked that good...

maybe he just trained hard. I see guys today on 3 grams of gear and are 1/10th the size

^^
He used to systematically OVERTRAIN, and had a pretty big appetite according to his former workout partner Ric Drasin (see his YouTube channel for his Arnold stuff)
The gear is best suited for that, it is MEANT to treat medical conditions such as Muscle Wasting, depletion, etc... the guys these days train for 45min and take WAY too much shit...

yea funny that considering he was never the same weight each contest and was probably only that at the 75 O.

He was 237. In 1974 MrO

Leading to 1980 show he was 225 ... Not sure how much he weighted on stage in Sydney though

I've seen 242 and 247 for the 74 before, 247 definitely looks more like it.

^^
I really wonder if a group of 10 or 15 bodybuilders watched his entire routine at the 1980 Mr. O
and had to try to guess his weight, what would they say- OR would the answers be all over the map?

FAST FORWARD TO 2:15, GetBiggers give your opinion!!!

I know , hard to believe he was under 240 lbs in 1974. But Arnold has said he was 237 on stage , he went up to 242 day after ( according to the man himself anyway)

May as well throw in my 2 cents.I was there......at one point sitting right next to that big camera in the aisle. Finals....right behind Joe Weider who actually turned round and asked...do u think Arnold should've won? Admittedly I didn't have a very experienced eye at the time but in my humble opinion Arnold shouldn't have won. For my money...Zane...smaller yes but better proportioned, more complete, better posing. Arnold was sweating bullets. Franco even came on stage to towel him off. Must say the images in that big movie camera looked different to what I was seeing on stage. Saw Arnold the next day at Vince's gym. Up close it was hard to believe the night b4 he had been announced the best in the world.Franco was giving a seminar.....couldn't believe how short he was and his amazing lat spread.

So, did you tell Weider that Zane should've won ?

Age make u leaner.

Just compare your legs arms chest back from your early days. IF u still strain that much!

If u continue doing hard work u will have gh look night and day without gear in your 50-60ies if u keep diet. Triffic! Isent it!

There is no 20yr old kid in the gym that ha arm leg separations. Milky babies! Quality come with age diet and hard work!

Ha I did not get a chance to answer old Joe. My mate jumped in and spoke for me! The place was in an uproar....lotta booing.

The man was lean in 1980 !

I wonder if he took anything to detox liver at the end of such victorious year .

WooOSHHHHHH

I loved Arnold's look that year, his conditioning was stellar. Others looked their best that year, but had flaws. Roger Walker was huge but had crippling gyno, Mentzer's chest seemed to disappear in certain shots, etc.

Interesting - I heard Franco was 4'3" on a good day. Not to forget, a great boxer.

I find it funny how some people say Mentzer should've won... he was flat as a pancake.
