An image worth a thousand words.....

Arnold looking like he knows he got another Sandow in the bag despite being away for so long , while Mentzer looks worried like he's in trouble ...

Mentzer's gut sticking out by miles. No wonder he looked worried. He knew he couldn't beat a superior bodybuilder like Arnold. Mentzer couldn't even beat Zane.

Rear double biceps ( from the front and not turtle shelf gut )

enjoy because the IFBB ran out of that type of bodybuilders in the open division long ago.

There aren't many people in that crowd. It looks like the Mr. O really has gotten much bigger over the years.

Not bad for a contest held overseas 43 years ago though   .

They all look worried.

By the call outs & where they were positioned on stage in them
They'd have a good idea where they likely going to place
Mike clearly knew he was not in the top 3.

True. In the US high school basketball games have more fans.

There are more people on Getbig talking about it decades later than there were in the crowd.  :D


I went to a pro bodybuilding show once where only the auditorium was huge, but only about fifteen percent full.  All the people who payed for their tickets were in the nose bleed seats where you could barely see.  All the family members who got free tickets were right up front.  there were about twenty rows of seats in between these groups that were empty.  When men's bodybuilding started, Bob told all the people sitting in the back to come up front.  This is the state of bodybuilding today.

I'll bet Arnold fuck hundreds of women during his time off bodybuilding (1975 to 80). That pic shows a pussy slayer right there.

The David Cassidy hair ( was the thing for chicks in those days  ) Arnold being retired from BB,was  the king of the beach tall lean and Barracuda mode with no "me too movement " in sight ...

You can hate the guy .... but Arnold was a total pussy wreck machine

Despite arnolds quads in some shots looking a bit slender i really think Arnold looked great in 80, everything still popped, lean and dry.

He did look great. People only think otherwise because of stories they've heard about how Arnold shouldn't have won.
