I'm sure most of you here know who Sergio Oliva is but some of the younger members here may not. Sergio is a 3 time Mr. Olympia (1967-69) and he beat Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1969. Sergio had one of the most genetically gifted physiques in the history of bodybuilding. He is still talked about today as one of the legends of the sport and one of the best (some feel The Best) bodybuilders ever. Considering that Sergio was in his prime over 35 years ago, you can imagine how good he must have been to still be talked about with such reverence today.
Sergio at his best had a 27 inch waist with 21 inch arms and 29 inch thighs. His arms were so big, they looked as big as his head and one of his thighs was bigger than his waist! Sergio was very unusual because he had NO weak points. His calves, forearms, chest, back, traps, shoulders, thighs and arms were all incredible. I grew up in Chicago so I was fortunate to see Sergio at many of the local shows when I was a teenager. Sergio would walk into a contest with the sleeves on his shirt split so his massive arms could fit and with a huge gold medallion hanging on his chest. He was a larger than life character with an outrageous physique that matched his personality.
GMV Productions just released a DVD that features most of Sergio's competitions and appearances on one disc. It is an incredible collection of rare contest footage including the 1969 Olympia where he beat Arnold and some other battles with Arnold at the 1970 and 1972 Olympia. If you are dissatisfied with many of the current physiques with their protruding waistlines and lack of shape and symmetry, you will be amazed at the tiny waist and incredible physique of Sergio in his prime.
If you want to see one of the best bodybuilders of all time and want to learn a little history of the great sport of bodybuilding, check out this DVD. Here is the link to order it:
