If you pause the video at 1:28 (you may have to slow it to .25 speed, then pause), you will see the supplements that Frank Zane was really using. Rheo Blair's, look at the labels. Inside the little cups, the black capsules are Soybro, which was a germ oil capsule that had the heavy lipids removed. Consisted of wheat germ oil, soy oil, and rice bran oil, but was concentrated so the result was large doses of policosanol and gamma oryzanol. The pink and white capsule was calcium plus. The sort of yellow-gray one was C-Bio Plus, which was vitamin C with bioflavanoids and rose hips. This was not the whole regimen, as there were other items in the program, notably Liver Extract, B-Complex, and Choline Plus. But anyway you can see by the labels that Zane was taking Blair's, not Weider or Hoffman.

ALL DUDES, NO CELLPHONES OUT, NOBODY FILMING CONTENT, NO ATTENTION SEEKING YOGA PANT CHICKS, EVERYBODY TRAINING, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE, IT'S SAD WHAT IT HAS BECOME IN 2024
I think that's what is killing so many young guys these days...with social media, they feel that have to look contest ready 24/7 year round...because they are posting every day. Back in the golden era, they juiced for several months prior to a major contest and then cycled off for the rest of the year. Young guys today are taking 3 or 4 years worth of dosage in a single year, without giving their bodies a chance to recover from the drugs.
Love the golden era characters! Not just these top stars but anyone who was a part of that era. A time memorialized in pumping iron and lived by the fortunate ones old enough to have had this experience .
I love watching more unseen footage that was captured during the filming of Pumping Iron. I live in L.A & it’s nostalgic to see the freeways & the old muscle beach from 1975. !
Awesome. New unseen Pumping Iron footage. Can see both Arnold & what looks like Ric Draisin repping out 315 on the flat bench in Golds. Both have said how they trained regularly together, & how Ric had the upper hand in the flat bench with a max 460lb bench, which he said used to nark Arnold a lil bit 😂. Though many have said Arnold was the man when it came to really hitting it hard at Golds. Numero Uno for a reason. Would love to see if any still unseen footage of Franco going heavy.
It would be really really cool if Arnold got off his high horse and show some humility and character by doing a 30 minute interview with Carlos...Carlos would be respectful and not sucker punch him with those awkward questions like about the 1980 Olympia....It will never happen but it would be awesome if he did seeing how Carlos is the top historical bodybuilding librarian on RUclips.
Arnold wouldn't even show up for an informal interview / friendly chatter with his old training partner and buddy Ric Drasin whose last wish was to get Arnold to come over and reminisce the old days. And the reason is because Ric wanted to talk honestly about all aspects of the golden era bodybuilding lifestyle including their drug usage. He did that with all his bodybuilder guests and old friends. I'm guessing the part about drugs was a huge red flag for Arnold, he wanted none of that, so he declined. Arnold is all about Arnold and promoting his own legacy and revamping his image before he leaves this earth, and if something doesn't benefit him in some shape or form, then he will not partake.
@@IronWarrior86 I know as an observer it was cruel to see Arnold give Ric the brush off again and again. And until the end Ric was never bitter and always defended him...
Golden Era physiques are the best. They combined functional strength + aesthetics (i.e., symmetry, proportion, etc). I always tell young guys that one of the best things you can do as a lifter interested in aesthetics / performance / strength is to study Old-School bodybuilding. Old-School bodybuilders were ingenious physique architects. They had a profound knowledge of the principles of proper nutrition, smart supplementation, exercise science, and muscle adaptability. If you combine Old-School bodybuilding wisdom with modern, evidence-based science, it's the best, safest, most effective way in achieving a strong, sexy, healthy, and aesthetic physique. "Vintage Physique" by George Kelly is a nice read on the topic.
I'd like to mention that the Golden Era guys' ped usage was much more thought out and dare I say safer, as they have enjoyed pretty good lifespans, and quality of life, especially compared to bodybuilders and fitness influencers now, who are dying in their 40', 30's and even 20's. It seems that the current guys are substituting some of the hard work with the drugs, and with poor outcomes.
Supposedly theres footage of Arnold goostepping and making nazi joke but I bet thats already been destroyed or will out after his death or never be released.
There were better BB’s out there than Arnold who never got their dues. Look at Robbie Robinson, Danny Padilla, Bertie Fox or Roy Calendar. Weider always had his boys whom he promoted
Arnold actually contradicted himself in his statements on steroids he said everyone at the top in bodybuilding is using them or has to use them then says they only are 5 %of his gains, how does that make any sense?
all steroid takers are complete liars.... as they can't admit that without gear, that ain't shit.... young guy in our gym, he's just turned 17, training for just over a year, and he's benching 440.... running like 5-6 different compounds. all gear users lie their asses off on what they take and how much they take...... all volume training and liver pills
@@NapsterRulez THEY DID A LOT OF DIFFERENT STEROIDS, BUT YOU THINK WHAT YOU WANT, THERE'S A REASON WHY ARNOLD HAS HAD 3 HEART SURGERIES, LAST ONE WAS A PACEMAKER, HE SAIS IT'S HEREDITARY, BS
@leelunk8235 Yep, in late 96 or early 97, Arnold said his brother died from a hereditary heart problem. I'm assuming he said this because Google Search wasn't quite operational yet so you couldn't really find out the truth that he died in a car accident. My friend, 1985 Mr California has heart problems. He wasn't on the sauce near as long as Arnold. A coworker died younger than Mike Mentzer from heart problems cause by PED's. The investigations unit(we were both Pease officers), told me, "Gonzales said it was hereditary, we're not stupid. We know it was steriods." Gonzo didn't even look that great and never won any good titles. He died being a mediocre gym rat. I have so many of these storyies from my 4+ decades of lifting. Can you imagine how many people believe Mike and Ray died of hereditary causes and not the fact that both did Old-School speed, heavily smoked and drank the strong stuff on a regular basis(not to mentioned combine with PED's). Those two are definitely not role models for a healthy living. I can say this with an open-heart because I really like them two since 78-79...but facts are just there.
Peace be upon you. Believe in ALLAH (GOD) and the judgement day and do good deeds. Don't show non well covered women that will be better for you in this life and the heaerafter. Ladies cover your bodies that will be better for you in this life and the heaerafter.

No earbuds, No camera phones , no one on a stair climber or treadmill,just a bunch of hardcore iron addicts & I sure miss those days!
No jerk offs sitting on equipment surfing the web and not allowing others to jump in.

I think it is great that Frank Zane helped put the pills together not only for himself but the other guys as well.
The original Blair’s was the best 🤙
Blair/Gironda were the fundamentals
I didn’t even notice the Rheo H Blair and all you described. Good work finding that!
@@mje9000 Weider's was junk.
That era those types of bodybuilders gone forever
Nice one here !
Some new scenes in this one w. Zane and Robby 👌
Also Never seen the clip of Franco pressing a BB while hanging on the bar 👏😎
The Glory days, The golden era!

Hey brotha, just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of your channel and I really like what you’re doing, thanks for your videos.
Bookworm, you are a true lover of the Iron. You deserve much respect.
Don't think any of us (Unless you were there) will understand the great time of life they all had together. Great video. Thank you!
Franco colomb inverted barbell press .... crazy.
Just picked up Vince Girondas "Abdominals" book from you... Great tips and a different philosophy on working abs, fantastic!
The golden years ...
There will never be anything like it ...because that was the time and place.
Hard work and dedication
Thanks for the videos there very informative and educational 😊😊

Where are you getting all this unseen footage from ?
Brilliant stuff❤
Good question Paul
4 months out of the year and thats it??? OMG now its mind blowing how much substance is being used !! The body count says it all.

Robby Robinson looks incredible at 2:26
Did Arnold finally cut open his mattress and release some of the outtakes from Pumping Iron that he purchased?
Supposedly theres footage of Arnold goostepping and making nazi joke but I bet thats already been destroyed or will out after his death or never be released.
Arnold said 100mg test/week and 15mg dbol a day. Thats it.
😂😂😂That's the dose he took at 15. His 70-75 physique was created with 600-700mg deca and 50-60mg dbol and cresormon gh.
All Bodybuilders of the golden era was awesome ❤

Where can i find this awesome full video
Where did you get this footage? I have seen the out takes from Pumping Iron but I haven’t seen a lot of this footage. Great video!
❤Carlos love it
Arnold forgot to put the 9 infront of the 5 when he said 95%. 😅
Yeah, steroids help a lot more than 5%. Genetic potential means nothing. It depends how you respond to the drugs. Prime example Kevin levrone
Is it possible to do the 20 rep breathing squat in the smith machine?
Never seen this before- what’s it from?
Mike Mentzer in the blue shirt at 0:31
Where do you get this footage - it’s by the director but not in the out takes section
explanation is easy --- they didn't look stupid the way body builders have for the past 20 years
Where did you find this footage?
Arnold documentary from Netflix!!
Call me an old fart, but I much prefer these sleek but chiselled bodies compared to the giant guts and humongous mass of the current era.
i prefer the jack lalanne body he is the epitome of what you would call natural body building.
No the guy on the left looks just as good as Arnold, know the history, the guy on left still looks good, RR
love it
The most honest thing Arnold said
5% ? Not that honest in reality.

Better, healthier era.
Just 5% roids, 95% hard work. Yup, believe whatever works.

I'd say 5% is accurate. When I was fairly lean recently I was about 95% of Arnold's on stage weight as a natural and I'm an inch smaller than him.

Yes Arnold, 5% of your gains came from steriods, at most. It's all about hard work baby!
He was known as a hyper responder; it wasn’t anywhere near 5%. It was much more than that.
oh wow even by 1975 or 1977 arnold was driving an automatic and not a manual transmission
CUALQUIER TIEMPO PASADO FUE MEJOR
💪👍
Says all the hater who couldnt do it with 95% steroids
There’s no higher percentage of one thing more than the other. Nutrition, training, steroids and rest are all as equally important.
