Mr. Olympia, if you continue on its old approach and do not transform like FIFA and make the sport of bodybuilding more forbidden and easy, you will lose a lot and a lot of wonderful human materials around the world and today's levels are proof of that, and God knows best

Lifting weights will never go out of style!!!!💪💪💪 it's been an honor lifting weights with all the men and women who have passed and who are going through their muscle building journey!!!
I don't know what you mean by this. I'm a natural trainer, and so are most men. So I imagine I would've trained the same way no matter the era. Competing is a different story, though.
Lmao these guys didn't have those technologies. There was not a lot of money in bodybuilding back then. If these mediums existed back then they would be the first ones on it to make cash. Do you know how narcissistic Arnold is? lol he's 70 something and he posts a bunch now.
Man BB is for real I've learned it's not just about lifting it's also about improving in all areas of life and when I do that as well my lifting improves at the same time, meditating, reading, hygiene over all self care, try and making more money, always bringing my best that day at work .

Francis Benfatto has one of the most aesthetic physique ever. This man is shaped like a statue from Michelangelo. One has to appreciate such an amazing physique. By far one if my favourite bodybuilders of all time.
Hearing those gasps and cries of real pain, reflecting the real effort of "working out," is totally motivating. Nothing like the old school, today is pure childishness. The golden age is in this video.💪
This brought back great memories. I was in high school during this era and it was great motivation that brought on endless dreams of becoming a pro some day. I never made it to that level but I have managed to continue training 4 to 5 days a week for the last 35 years. Thank you for the video. It is probably my favorite to date.
Yeah, wasn’t it a magical time? No internet, just magazines. Reading every single word in them multiple times to gain more knowledge. Pumping Iron (or any film footage of a bodybuilder) was nowhere to be found. Being the only guy in the classroom who trained at all and being looked at as a weirdo for it, while everybody was smoking two packs a day and eating whatever. And every workout was a special happening. I would so do it all again if I could go back in time.
Personally, my favorite era of bodybuilding has always been the 80s. That just ridiculous size and amazing definition has always been my dream. The guys looked jacked and strong, today’s bodybuilders look strong, but don’t have that awesome definition I see here.
You're pushing it with the "real muscles" thing. They used steroids and hard work with good nutrition. They looked great, today they use those same steroids, in much higher doses, but they added insulin, hgh,oil injections etc ,and they look ridiculous.It wasn't more drugs and hard work, it was as little drugs to get it done, plus hard work.
Oh man!!!!! The trance that begins at 04:45 is out of this world .. I can do the whole workout just listening to this part of the video and stay in the trance the whole time.. absolutely phenomenal job putting this together .. !!!!
I’m 57 and so happy to have begun my gym experience in the 80s. Things were simple then, we had to talk with each other to learn which helped develop great friendships along the way. I think my lifting today is still on point because I had those beginnings.

Old school physiques are still so much more desirable than any other era's 💯
thats because at that time body building for competitions was the main focus but now building an aesthetic physique us the aim.

@vikas chaudhary Yes brother, but the difference was that they 'used' steroids and nowadays people 'abuse' steroids and growth hormones.
No denying that
80s and 90s appears to be the peak of society. Work life balance real enjoyment and still people appear to be grounded.
its physics , life was actually a lot harder then, they we're just tougher you.
each generation previous is the same.

Golden era was the best era. Beautiful, aspirational physiques. Looked like comic book heroes rather than mutants.
I agree totally. And now there is just guys that look like monsters or some kind of freaking weird muscular character from Ren and Stimpy. Hahahahaha

Look at the texture and the quality of the skin of these guys at that time. This is extraordinary
“Quality of skin.” It’s called low resolution. In the right light you can see the back acne...
Stop it, stop it: the skin was REALLY *horrible…* .

Food was way cleaner back then
@@JosephQPublic not defending anyone but do u know u can have back acne without roids
The truth is that these guys had such attractive physiques. Even more aesthetic than today's bodybuilders

Far more aesthetic*
1000%
Not more aesthetic than some of the current men's physique guy's or classic guys like Chris bumstead but awesome nonetheless. A very good look

He is the best. I never trained my legs without listening to his video
