That chest is still unbeatable...legendary
Pratik Singh and arms
Best chest ever.
A physique that is actually desirable to have unlike today’s Olympia
He was ripped that year for sure. He looks like the best of today's classic physique guys but with more mass. Still hard to beat even today. While his legs weren't huge by today's standards, his calves would blow away many top competitors today.
jerrydesu he had implants on his calves tho
Mairon Mantovani No he didn't
yes he had
Karl Echnaton Hechtmeister Hering Where is the proof?
@@maixonmaxfull that was lou dumbass
He never gets enough credit for his back. Of the few photos and bits of footage available, it always looks phenomenal, fully developed lower lats, big traps, thickness and width with a great Christmas tree.
Gaz Corn yeah his back was great for that era. Thy why he was and still is the king. Fuck Phil.
he had a great back ON PAPER
Great attachment, good thickness and detail from top to bottom
Problem is he lacked width and v taper, his front and rear lat spread were very bang average because f that, especially compared to guys like sergio oliva or franco
there is a darn good reason there are hardly any pics with him on a rear lat spread, and the front version he also very rarely hit it.He simply avoided hitting them because he knew they werent strong poses for him
Just because someone has a great bodypart doesnt mean he will look amazing in poses that showcase that bodypart
example?dorian yates and side triceps
levrone and side chest, levrones chest was very shapely but not particularly thick or wide or striated and it attached high on his torso unlike say arnold or coleman, yet his side chest is top 3 ever
Phil heath has some of the best arms of all time , but hs front double biceps especially in recent years has sucked balls
@@TheLusianPopa your an idiot
Arnold had some amazing legs, not sure why people scoff him on that. He's one of the most well roundedly developed bodybuilders ever. This is what established him as the face of bodybuilding itself.
amazing legs?id call them decent but not amazing
tom platz had AMAZING legs
a bodypart to be considered great, at least IMO, has to have size, shape and separation( and symmetry between left and right but thats another matter).Arnold has great separation but no shape( zero sweep) and not enough size.He fails in 2./3.
Cold truth
His biceps have all 3 for example, same for his chest....but the legs were kinda average
TheLusianPopa he doesn’t get 3/3 on arms. His left bicep has way less peak than the right one
Here is another ignorant af who thinks Arnolds legs doesnt have size, lmao. U dont know shit about the real Leg goal standard.
The thing about Arnold that made him such a legend was simply how aesthetic his physique was. I agree that 73 was the year he looked his "best", but seriously- has Arnold ever looked bad at a show? Even "soft" the guy looked amazing...
Sandy Collora 1980 he looked amateur, but thats only compared to his previous years. Even that year he managed to pack mass on quickly. So.... Youre right
Could he have fought Alien and Predator in a dark alleyway?
The dude is just the definition of perfection (no homo). Built like a freakin' Greek God and doesn't look abnormal in any way, shape or form. I mean has any human EVER had a more perfect looking body than 1970's Arnold? Looking at pics of Arnold from this time period and looking at pics of the Mr Olympia winners of today is just astounding. Body building went from building the most beautifully perfect muscular body imaginable to building the most freakish, cartoonishly-muscled body you could imagine. It's disgusting to see what the sport has turned into over the last 40-50 years.
I believe between 72 and 73 Arnold tore up his knee pretty bad, required surgery etc. I was listening to him talk about it in an interview. Once the doctor cleared him, he said he worked his lower body like a madman and it shows!
Bigger doesn't mean better and neither does being so vascual you look like a circulatory system chart. The bodybuilders of Arnold's era were just much more appealing than todays open class bodybuilders. Arnold will always be the standard for that balance of size, symmetry and conditioning. So glad this asthetic is making a comeback with classic physique.
Seems it's leaning towards a mini-open division :p
It´s the same with body fat. Too low doesn´t look neccessarily better even if it makes you look more shredded.
Anyone else noticed that the skin of these golden age bodybuilders was way smoother and aesthetic too? Even at high quality pictures and videos it´s a difference like day and night. The also never looked fucked up after retiring.
The legs back in those days looked WAY nicer than the huge legs people have today
1:12 thats nasty wicked!! jeezus. The ZERO bubble gut really shows a guys work habits.
Yes ‘73. Great video Nick.
Amazing. Without question, the best physique of all time. His proportions here were amazing.
That's what i think, too! :D
If he could have combined 73 & 74 and had all those elements come together it would have been insane for that time period. He was already insane for the times, just imagine what that big and ripped look would have looked like.
Most shredded his chest and legs ever looked for sure
70's bodybuilders are so fucking aesthetic
ARNOLD = GOAT
no legs
no triceps
delts not alot bigger than mine lol
did he EVER hit a rear lat spread lol
get a grip
and he wasnt THAT shredded
if he was truly shredded he would have striations in his quads, shredded hams and ripped glutes, and straited lats and spinal erectors, he has none of that
TheLusianPopa how dare u compare urself to arnold. Post a pic of ur dogshit physique so we can critique u
JB flat earther logic
JB Snyder Ronnie Coleman is the goat
greek god
Excellent revisit of 1973 and Arnold's shredded conditioning as he was also developing more mass getting to his thickest, most massive in '74. He was more ripped than Nubret this year and had pretty well rebuilt his leg that had gotten hurt a year earlier. Striations and definitions are awesome on Arnold with that unique sweep like no other!
Arnold definitely looked great in '73. The biggest surprise (to me) is that he was able to get his quads looking that good in time for the Olympia. They might not have been BIG, but considering the fact that he had a leg/knee injury in late 1972 (and his quads were VERY small at the beginning of 1973) --- he really accomplished something amazing.
I’m more of a powerlifting guy but man, I can’t stop watching your videos on old school B.B. so straight to the point and well made, really helps me brush up on my strength sports history knowledge. I and I’m sure many others appreciate your efforts man!
The king of bodybuilding 💖💖
Even this day we don't see a chest like that! Huge as well as conditioned!
His striations are unreal 😳
Connor Heim striations means?
pregnancy stripes
Just started watching your videos and I like all the information u bring
you're easily turning into my favorite youtube channel.you and lui always entertain me as every other fitness channel is just boring vlogs.
Great content Nick!! KEEP it coming.
Especially his back looks like a road map back there, fingers everywhere...
0:36 / 1:36 Nothing Can Beat This ! ! !
Great video! Never knew Arnold ever got this shredded!
I agree and have been saying the same thing for years. You can flip a coin between his best year, 1973 or 74. I would choose 73 since I think he looked really well conditioned. The pose at 1:30 is really neat, the cuts in the front thigh, the narrow waist, the V taper. The next year, he added some mass. But I think he lost some sharpness. I think this was his best.
Great video about Austrian oak
750 bucks lol! Arnold wipes his ass with $750 today.
Nick is killing it with the content
Arnold brought crazy quality this year
you always have some good info in your videos!
NICK STRENGTH AND ARNOLD
That Arnold's back 3:33
Haha look at 3:05
Looks like Arnold and that lady really had it going😂
Great vid as usual btw Nick
His a true legend
Nick you should do a video on Sibil “Grandma” Peeters and a follow up bodyingbuilder profile of Roelley Winklaar (possibly focusing more on his start of bodybuilding and his evolution to present day). Sibil competed in bodybuilding I believe throughout her 30’s and began training Roelly in the mid 2000’s when she was around 60 years old. Interesting story and there’s hardly any informational content on this topic so it would make for a cool video.
Definitely more shredded than any other show I've seen him in!
holy fuck serge nubret looked so good!! :O
Awesome bro...
Great video as always, Nick. Perhaps you should consider a video on the top 10 (or so) greatest posers of bodybuilding?
Arnold came shredded in 1973 because he didn't win quite as easily in 1972 and the judges told him they wanted to see him leaner, so in 1973, that's what he focused on. I actually think his 1974 body was most impressive though. He was slightly less conditioned, but he was freaking huge, and he was at his most impressive, imo.
I agree
1974 was the best Arnold imo. He was still shreded but with more mass and his legs were even better than in 73.
Nick, it would be cool if you could get interviews with some of the golden era guys that are still alive. Plenty I'm sure would be cool with it if that's your cup of tea
I don't get the no legs.To me they look bigger than every ones.All his old photos of him against competition his legs are better.
I wasn't first but this channel is growing faster and faster
Arnold looks great here. A beautiful physique to look at.
The boss of bodybuilding.
I think his best physique was the 1974 Olympia.
he "came" alot that year
can cer cumming at the gym, cumming at home, cumming back stage...
😂😂😂

Arnold's Strength and Power
Arnold was the best ever
dedicated talent
More videos about Arnold!
I'm never early anymore
I was your 700th "Thumbs Up", Brother!!!
Nick, I've been training for about a year and I'm full natty, I'm only young and was wondering how long you think it will take me to be competition ready. I understand you can't say for definite as you don't know me, but I'd appreciate your opinion
to achieve what he did with the height he had in the era he was in....thats a-fucking-mazing. legend
The greatest.
You are right on this one chief.
Are there sharper pictures somewhere of this olympia? I know they used film back then and it probably was a little dark but still...
I’m pretty sure Artie Zeller took those pics in the thumb. Man he was a great photographer.
Can you do a video on the 2015 Ruby Classic Jason Genova vs the 2017 Ruby Classic Jason Genova?
I think the 2015 version had better conditioning and the 2017 had more mass.
loll
lol W
Are you still going to do bodybuilding competitions?
The difference between a juiced Arnold and the guy that came off the PED's in between competitions is remarkable. Goes to show how potent the roids are. He actually didn't look like a BB when the chemicals had left his body, he was left with a quite slim yet athletic physique when he came off the juice - NO where close to the jacked and big muscular body he had when the syringes were filled with testosterone, decca and winstrol. People tend to forget that Arnie was a product of PED's just like champs like Lance Armstrong. The latter guy was crucified for it. Arnold was glorified. Roids ain't fair.
Its a shame he would never return to that original 1971-74 245lb. condition which might have given Haney a fit in the 80s if he would of kept competing at that size up through the late 80s or so, which could have been possible.
GOAT
I agree Arnold looked amazing
The only thing Sergio had over Arnold was a smaller waist. Arnold's chest and arms, etc were much more aesthetic.
arnolds BICEPS not arms as a whole
sergio had WAY BETTER triceps and forearms
overall triceps are 2/3 of arm volume so overall , if we throw in the forearms sergio had more complete arm development
sergio also had better quads, lats, delts ....arnold himself praised those bodyparts of sergio so dont even try
1972 he had knee surgery and in 1973 he brought this physique
Arnold is Numero Uno
Some of his pose is still ubeatable
Agreed, he was shredded in 73
Arnold was a foot taller in those days.
@SYNERGISTIC123 6'2
I have to agree.
Can you do a vid about Francis Benfatto?
Please!👍
Long live the king
4:20 baby!
Ends at 4:20 ? Nick be smoking that stuff !
i think Sergio is the one that claim he was banned from '73.. i think he actually just no showed because he knew he was done
A video of Arnold would be 4:20 long I see what you weren’t trying to do but did 😉 Arnold is numero uno 🍁💨
Vince is the man.!
Wait...who is he smooching at 1:00?
I'm curious too. Did he actually kiss the prize presentation lady right on the lips??
Patrick Todd
It's Barbara Outland Baker, Arnolds first long term relationship after his move to California. She wrote a biography about Arnold
Logan Gagne why do you have to be rude he was asking a legit question. Hell I was wondering the same thing!
Arnold GOAT.
All time best body
4:20 , Arnold would be smoking his cigar
I would say Arnold's best year was 1973!
@3:08 '73 was a financially troublesome year for Weider and the IFBB. It was unfortunate for the competitors that the Olympia was held in September, the very month Joe was late on his car note.
At 3:46 I think the guy in the background on the right was pushing too many pencils
Glade I'm not the only one that saw that lol.
It's not Carl Weathers. It just looks like him
Nick, have you ever thought about doing a video on Brian Whitacre? Imo, the greatest drug free bodybuilder ever. Top notch conditioning. He isn’t well known because he doesn’t like to subscribe to the quick-attention IG culture, and he’s probably pretty busy being a professor to care.
