Bravo Champion!đź‘Ź
The first "freak" in bodybuilding's history, his muscles were so large they almost looked cartoonish back in the day. even though he was huge he also had great symmetry and a very small waist. His conditioning was good but never spot on otherwise no one, not even Arnold would have beaten him .
Ive never liked Sergio's physique, his arms are way too big and long for the rest of his body, he looks like a praying mantis.
Sergio was almost 80 when he died. He lied about his age and falsified his birth certificate to be able to become a policeman in Chicago
I don’t think anyone noticed his left triceps ruptured in 73 from then on he wasn’t the same!
The All Time GREAT…
Sergio looks scary in that thumbnail
Lou Ferrigno comeback was Pretty Impressive as well..
Arnold looks better ,better arms and condition nicer shaped muscles
Sergio Jr says his dad was actually much older than his claimed age . Anybody know about that?
The greatest single pose in the history of bodybuilding.
The only reason Lee Priest can do that pose is because his arms are short. Sergio’s crazy/thick arms were actuality very long!
I saw Sergio as a police officer involved in a raid, in 1979. In spite of already knowing about him for years, it took a second to realize it was him. At first glance of his shoulders and chest, I thought it was a 400 lb morbidly obese cop. The next moment I realized that his custom-tailored uniform tapered to a 28” waist! Looked liked science-fiction.
Sergio was ahead of his time he had perfect proportions smallest waist I've ever seen on stage only thing he needed more muscle separation in common more dried out but he had the size at that time they didn't have the science they have today so they were still experimenting today he would place the top five with this stuff out now and the new nutrition in whatever
Funny he did look too depleted he look like he was really lacking carbohydrates.he mentioned it was a different way of preparations. Funny thing is if it works for you don't change it .I'm the same way . My body thrives on carbohydrates if I go below 150 a day I don't have that fullness.
Did Sergio tear a tricep?
He was a great bodybuilder Champion he was only 72 years old when he died and he looked like he was 102 years old when he died the steroids 💉💊 really killed him
Sergio was a short shit he is only 5’3 and Arnold Schwarzenegger is 5’9 they don’t tell you there real heights on google they lie about there real heights on google but I know the truth and I know there real heights
winning in Mr. O, it's just politics/business.
Sergio was a little soft, Arnold was in better shape
Arnold looked bigger.
Thank you very much for this video.
This was very interesting to hear about Sergio Olivia and the politics of the Weider organization with Arnold in the middle.
You have me now as follower.
Arnold looks much better!!!
Sergio had a much better physique than Arnold, way much better. But, for some reason, at least for what I see in the pictures, he never got to be really cut and dry, which Arnold always did. I guess Arnold had that tunel visiĂłn to do anything he needed ti win.
Arnold looked better
He had the perfect physique he was massive with a 29 inch waist .Todays bubbleguts would look so fat standing next to him.
1972 Sergio Oliva = Best Bodybuilder in History!
Sergio will never be Sergio, unfortunately. He inherited his pappy’s gift for putting on muscle, but not his epic proportion and symmetry.
not true frank Zane beat Arnold too
Jones trained Sergio for the 1971 Nabba Pro Mr. Universe, not the 1972 Mr. Olympia. This can be confirmed by Ellington Darden who worked for Jones. Sergio trained on his own for the '72 Olympia. His training routine for the '72 Olympia was published in Dan Lurie's Muscle Training Illustrated Magazine.
What about Lou Ferrigno, he had a longer hiatus !
8th out of 20 is still pretty good at the age of 44 ….
the system of bodybuilding championship is unfair to many bodybuilders
Samir looks perfectly proportioned in that picure
Sergio beat Arnold I’m sorry to me don’t care how people feel about his attitude he’s just better condition and size
SERGIO DID BEAT ARNOLD IN ESSEN..YEA THE REASON IT WAS IN GERMANY NEXT TO AUSTRIA…HE HAD POSES THAT WERE NEVER MATCHED.
The myth was the best at the time
Why didn't Arnold feel shame on himself by winning Mr Olumpia title by politics with the support of Joe🤔
Fine info, however Frank Zane has beaten Arnold, in BB competition.
Lou Ferrigno : Am I joke to you, Nick…
Kevin Levrone???? He made a pretty long break too!!
nope it was because he was black, period
At 44 that chest/arms/structure are still legendary
