I don't think Arnie won in every category, and he only won by like, 2 points. But he was carried by his large pecs, bis, and a great back combined with good posing.
People love to talk about Louie, but while he had the mass over Arnie, be wasn't nearly as cut at the time of competition.
Mike didn't have the chest size arnie did either. And he was quite a bit shorter, which fucks with judging.
Mentzer placed 5th in 1980. Should 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place not have deserved to win too? Just another seething autist who couldn’t compete against the GOAT and turned into a hysterical bitch. Only Reddit chud white knights give a shit about the 80 Olympia. Arnie won fair and square
In all honesty, all those dudes in the picture look incredible. Mirin’ hard.
Is has been stated this was the most controversial tournament. Very tough decision.
Yes, Franco was returning from a very hard injury and look at how he looks, fucking impressive.
That’s why Arnold entered. He knew that Frank Zane was a month out from a serious injury that impacted his size. He sized up the competition a few days before while he was doing a TV promotion for the show, saw that Zane wasn’t at 100%, and entered on some weird legacy auto qualifier. He probably thought that a surprise victory would help ratings, but it obviously backfired. If Zane was in shape Arnold wouldn’t have entered and risked losing to him. Mentzer was never on his radar, only Zane
taller=better. always.
You got me . I agree with you now. Good job!
arnoldier=better. always.
Cheating helps a lot.
Maybe peak hieght of 6'2" is better always?
Arnold hinself said Lou had better genes than him
Arnold has never been 6'2". He's inflated his listed height by an inch every decade since the 80's. King of the manlets.
Manlet cope
Not in bodybuilding. 5'11 is the perfect height for mass monsters.
Which ones mentzer?
moustache 3rd from right

Male beauty pageants was always a mistake

He also didn't deserve to win in 1970 and 1971.
robbed

Surprised they look so "small" on the scene, in the documentary, Pumping Iron, they all look like Hulk.

for me, its zane
his legs are lacking but that v taper is insane
People who care about these competitions are unironically pretty gay
Why do bodybuilders have such small dicks?
Shower vs grower. Real question is, why do you care?
the golden age of body building, they look so disgusting now, especially the quads and glutes, its sickening
Of course Arnold shouldn't have won, but he was the Weider's pet/meal ticket. Pure business.
