Bill Pearl's logic is vastly flawed, he suggests that if Arnold could win after 5 years absence, sports must be regressed sounds logical but not true.
Arnold and Sergio was so ahead of their time, and Arnold was still young at age 33.
Same flawed logic suggests, Arnold shouldn't won with his %70 percent form...
Same applies, he was way ahead of competition.
His height and broad frame/depth is second to none.
Frank Zane had amazing square shoulders and beautiful waistline but next to Arnold he was so slim, light in structure.
Tinerino and Roger Walker came close in width but they had thicker waistline and larger hips.
Mike Mentzer had amazing deltoids but mediocre frame.
It is amazing how slim Arnold seems when he stops juicing but I really believe he has broad shoulders and large bones.
Maybe his long limbs gives illusion of slim frame.
Wonder what was Arnold's reach and shoulder span.
It is amazing no magazine mentioned those stats

1975 Arnold.........

Great comparison! Arnold's 1975 form is clearly a much improved and dominating force in that lineup.

Arnold 1980 held his own but the above comparison really shows the difference betw.

Look closely - it's a comparison of Arnie from 1975 with the 1980 lineup.  8)

His 1975 form would have been more fitting in the 1980s line up.

Arnold and Mentzer

Arnold probably marks this victory as his greatest. Not to discount guys like Sergio, Franco or Big Lou... but this was his toughest competition ever, by a very long way. Almost everyone had varying strength's which compared well, even against Arnold's signature poses. At first glance, Arnold isn't necessarily the clear winner. Only through 50 pages of photos and discussion are we to see that, actually, Arnie looked pretty darn good and even though his thighs were a bit down, they still held up well in 1980.

If you'll notice looking at pictures of Arnold's office, he proudly has 1980 Mr. Olympia photos plastered all over. Not to mention, they're all over the Pumping Iron cover. Arnold is clearly proud of this contest and rightfully so. It's arguably his best ever conditioning along with 1973, and he put up a fight good enough to earn the win.
