1983 Olympia
« on: April 04, 2024, 10:30:26 AM »
pretty cool video which shows the entrance and bit of the posing routine for each competitor

I think it's very cool how they show the profile of each person before they step down onto the stage

Mohamed Makkawy looked really good

Bertil Fox was f'ng huge and the crowd was pissed at his placing

Great find with the video.  Samir bought an amazing condition to that Olympia. His back especially was incredible.

 I remember the story of how Mentzer and Viator were doing deadlifts after training back and they both failed with 525lbs.  Samir who wasn't training with them walked over and started doing reps with the weight. I think he started as an Olympic lifter prior to coming to the US.

The 1983 was a great line up. I wonder if Bertil Fox works out now that he is out?
