Will see what Hansen gonna say on his interview with Arnold that is coming out soon  ;)

Are you serious? John Hansen is going to be interviewing Arnold?

I find that hard to believe but it would be cool as fuck.

No one better to ask Arnold about 1980 Olympia than John ....
let's hope John doesn't act like a fanboy and go from 1975 Olympia to Conan the Barbarian ...
80 Olympia is all we care  lol

To this day, Arnold has shown zero interest in touching 1980 Olympia subject and CBS unreleased files
which makes the info even more valuable.

Arnold reportedly wouldn't do the mandatories, well the only one missing from all the pics and videos is the side tricep. It was great without even pressing it into his side so no idea why he apparently avoided it. Actually is there any pictures of anyone doing the classic side triceps pose from 1980?

There is no such thing as winning a body part. Bodybuilding is as crooked as Miss America.

Arnold backed down from Mentzer because Mike would´ve punched his cocky head clean off his shoulders
I remember an interview with the late Ric Drasin where he laughed when asked about a small "scuffle" Arnold had one day at Golds..Ric said, "Arnold couldn´t fight to save himself" infact i believe he also said Arnold fought like a little Girl  :D

They should´ve let Mike loose on the Globalist Turd

It was a first time mandatory pose and it's very likely he didn't even know they have it as a mandatory  so he hasn't practice it. He performed the praying mantis instead.

He was lucky there was not internet. social media or cameras back then....

Mentzer became a train wreck right after October 4th 1980 a man who did all kinds of drugs, G4F , had a Flamboyant old fart paying his rent then had a young bodybuilder as his client to pay for his groceries and even got his rent covered  .running naked on the streets of Venice who knows how many times and the crazy stuff he did ...to end up with a beer belly ,crystal meth enthusiast ,smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day and wandering the parking lot at Worlds gym whining about Arnold and the 1980 Olympia and  looking 60 at 40 .

Then his fans have the nerve to say Arnold was the loser/Paul Graham lover


WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

Btw.

I wanted to know how old Paul Graham is, so I Googled the guy just to find out he just passed away yesterday.
Because his exact birth date was not publicly documented in widely available official records, his exact age at the time of his death is not known,
Ironically ......

(didn't see there was a thread posted here )


WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RIP

Tom Platz had his own troubles at Gold’s Gym. I heard that Platz got knocked out cold by Jeep Swenson (Swenson accused Platz of messing with his girlfriend). 
Jeep Swenson was massive.

Nothing anywhere near the kind of troubles Mentzer had .

However Mentzer, acted as a mentor to Platz, persuading him to adopt a high-carb, low-fat diet which led to his best, most filled-out stage shape in 1981.where he was robbed the tittle ...

Platz didn't cry and kept improving both financially and physically duplicating his 1981 form in Olympia 1985 gaining worldwide popularity through Weider Publications and movies.

later in life, Platz found poor Mentzer in the gutter many times, yet he was grateful for his helping hand post 80 Olympia.


WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH 1981 uncrowned O (Platz not Mentzer, Mentzer was a legit 5th place finisher at the Saturday October 4th 1980 Opera House, Sydney, Australia IFBB Olympia ) ;D
