very true. they had top quality stuff. they used very little ( compared to nowdays) they took breaks.  most would use only for a show. they would "grow" into a show . they used dball primo deca and some test. they didnt stack 4,5,6 or more at a time. they used a fair amount but not like today. most were afraid to really push it. this was late 60s and 70s and even early 80s thru mid 80s. gh was from dead people. inslulin very very few used it( if any at that time). tim belknap was a true diabetic and needed it. mentzer never admitted to using it but i think he did. he did an interview with belknap about his insulin use and shortly thereafter he got a gut. he was really the first guy with a gut even in shape. again im not sure he never admitted it no me or i really didnt care to ask him cuz not many knew anything about insulin use. they also didnt really do any pct either. again they just went off most shrunk down some got fat. in fact it wasnt really until they really upped the dose stayed on year round had alot of new and  different compounds and then a few gurus came along ( duchaine used to pimp out bill phillips to a doc to get nolvadex lol ) that pct became used. and then the hair loss became rampant.
and pre internet and magazine era you never saw off seaso pics like nowadays,,i think wbf magzine was the 1st time you saw non contest pics and the new conference pics they had tank tops and the guys were white/smooth offseason bloat look,,,weider mags showed sometimes his weight gainer ads with 90's guys like newman,mattarrazo  i was this to this on weider 4000 otherwise it was top in shape pics,,,

I know, it's baffling.  No hairloss, no gyno, no acne ... enviable!

Is there an explanation for this...?

And not only from the front
They all (Mentzer, Zane, Dickerson etc.) look like midgets standing next to Arnold. He totally deserved winning the 80 Mr. O.

i remember when arnold won the 80 olympia. i was so excited to see him come back after 5 years. i was expecting him to look like ARNOLD. but instead i was dissapointed in his look. he looked like everyone else. but then after i understood what i was seeing (it took time)  and i realized he was better than everyone else that day. yes it was close. i wasnt used to anyone being close ( other than sergio) to arnold. he came in light and lean. he wasnt his usual massive balanced self. so when people say he shouldnt of won they are comparing the 80 arnold to previous versions of arnold. its true he doesnt look like arnold but he was good enough to beat all them other guys.

Dickerson sucked. 

Which is probably why he placed higher than Zane or Mentzer.    He is the worst Olympia winner ever.  even worse that Franco in 81.    Just disgusting. Looks like Curious George with pointy elbows.

He was the best bodybuilder from the back in all poses in 1980. Flexing and relaxed.

Mentzer was definitely way off there... just came in too light. You can see it in his face how lean he was but he gave up too much size

'Mike Mentzer, we all know Zane beat you last year because you have a big stomach!'

Arnold was telling the truth . Mentzer folded
