Perhaps, all my life.. he is no less than demi god for inspiration... youbsee, when rver he was competing... there were so many others who had bigger triceps than him or quads persay, but he never lost his focus... n did the most difficult task of always retaining his title!!
After the competition I never thought of it again. I can picture mentzer seeing this and getting up from his couch and throwing his wine glass into the tv screen, screaming damn you Arnold it's all I thought about for the rest of my life
What pissed off competitors like Mike mentzer in the 80 olympia, was how arnold was in only about 80% of the shape he was in at the 75 olympia, and still looked better than all of the 1980 competitors. Arnold won't admit it here but part of reason he competed was to put Mike mentzer in his place. Mentzer was the huge favorite to win that year. Arnold was not a fan of the mentzer look and had made comments about how mentzers abs and how his gut would hang out during competition. They even got into a heated argument backstage at the show and almost came to blows. Even at only 80% of shape he was in at 75 olympia, Arnold was still better than any of the competitors at the 80 0.
That backstage story was that Arnold had insulted Boyer Coe and then Mentzer confronted him about it. That's the famous photo of Arnold casually sitting while Mentzer is pointing at him angrily from 7 feet away while Ben Weider comes in attempting to calm things down. It wasn't to do with those 2 personally, although by that time Mentzer had it with Arnold's attitude. I don't know that competing was to put him in his place but if partially true than you go Arnold.
@@artistamisto ya I still have the original muscle and fitness magazine, with those pics of Arnold sitting down with mentzer pointing his finger at him. Back then it was actually muscle builder magazine, before it became muscle and fitness. Arnold had made negative comments in the past about boyer coes lack of abs and mentzers gut hanging out and that that's why they will never win an olympia. He was right tho. I read years ago that Arnold had told Joe weider that he wanted to put mentzer and other bodybuilders in their place and to prove to them that he could still beat all of them. Zane had won it the last 3 years and arnold didn't think zane deserved the title either due to his lack of size.
I’m a massive fan of Arnold, but I’ve GOT to disagree with you there. Arnold’s arms and chest were utterly phenomenal as usual, but his legs were lacklustre and his back didn’t have the mass he used to rock and the same with his shoulders. Frank Zane also had better conditioning there and Mentzer was also on top form along with greats like Tom Platz. Arnold is STILL the greatest bodybuilder of all time in my estimation, but he did NOT deserve to win in the 1980 Mr Olympia.
Friends/Athletes: Am a novice historian of Schwarzenegger. Was the 1980 Olympia controversy real? Yes. Was the contest cut and dried with a clear winner? No. Part of the reason Arnold entered the 1980 may have been because of his idol, Reg Park, (and some other, I’ll posit , smaller reasons) who entered an earlier competition to the surprise of Arnold about a decade earlier. Arnold never talked much about his appearance in the event and this appears to be a rare Q&A about the 1980 Olympia which even I never saw before.
@TheBladerunner1975 The thing was he only trained 4-6 weeks in total for this competition when 3-6 months what was probably needed for muscle memory to kick in. I have a large photo I keep displayed as I respond to this. Abs are good. Shoulder dirth isn’t bad with good striations all around. Bicep has a good peek, but not as high as his earlier wins. The problem may have been where the others placed that year, and not Arnold’s own win. (I just considered this).
He wasn't happy about winning because he was being heavily booed. He tried to ignore the boos, but could not. He knew he didn't deserve it and he was screaming at Maria to leave with him and get out of there. A few weeks later he was lamenting it and said "It doesn't matter. Eventually people will forget and I will be 7 time Mr Olympia" He made a mistake by entering and even bigger one winning. It really set bodybuilding back. It was being filmed for network TV, but never shown because it was obviously fixed. Network TV never filmed a Mr Olympia again. I love Arnold, but he is hardly infallible.
Very good analogy.. He's low key and very calculated, yet very calm simple and approachable. He doesn't come off as arrogant. Later on when he got into movies and started making it big he started getting a bit cocky. But yeah he does remind me of early mj.
@@chrisg9615 There were reasons Mentzer quit and it wasn't because Arnold beat just him it's because Arnold beat everyone in the shape he was in and that Mentzer only finished 6th.
@@artistamisto Why cant people accept that Arnold doesn't have to be at his best and still look better than the rest? Arnold was as shredded as he's ever been. Was easily the biggest with best shape and nobody in the top 5 had legs so who cares his legs weren't great.
yeah i cringed as well. but thats what they were called back in the day. extremely unfortunate, as language / words matter. an awful word, akin to N word
We have enough fairly decent pictures of all the competitors and Arnold was more ripped than ever. He wasn’t as massive as he was in 74 but he still looked very good. All this talk about how out of shape he was and what a travesty the contest was is ridiculous. Bodybuilding is about 90% subjective so the whole notion that one guy is better than the other is silly
8:56 yes, women like muscles but not the bodybuilding type. Also, it was the 80s, mass was much more in tune with the times as also in the 90s. Nowadays being that big looks absolutely ridiculous...

What can you say about The King of Bodybuilding! Even after 50 years, he continues to inspire us. Peace, Sal
This is amazing!! Who ever put this on RUclips I applaud you. I could watch Arnold talk forever.
Really for billions and trillions of years and it's still just Arnold talking. Boring

Amazing interview , sitting side by side and talking very softly without any noisy music in the background ! we are living in a very noisy era today !
Yeeess, Full of distractions!
I fully agree with you . Everything changed people became more stupid
When I was young, the television was always on, even when no one was watching it. I don't remember things ever being different.
Wow, it’s so hard to see Arnold getting old now 😭
I wonder what his view is regarding God.
10:30 he predicted the future, right now he looks 100% better than the people who never worked out who are of his age
If he wasnt a millioner and do so many heart surgeries he would be dead
@@Cyprus_Is_Greek I question your integrity in so many ways.
@@thebeast5054 what do you expect lol, there's always going to be those insecure losers in the comments
@@thebeast5054 he did have a couple or more heart surgeries.

Wow, what a disappointment they have ...
Thank you for letting us see how it should be done
You train for youself... thats what the mantra is... you live for yourself.. n unknowingly end up become inspiration for others.. 🙏🙏🙏
i loved how he said workout for yourself and not for anyone else...who cares who may not like you..whats important is you liking yourself!
yeah now go workout
A great gem from the algorithm
Ya i never seen this interview. Amazing gem
The interviewer is very pretty and she looks very impressed by Arnold 😀
And sitting very close to him !
Women appreciate strength, confidence and success.
It is impossible not to be impressed by him!
Yes, And as the interview went on she gradually got closer to him
Thank you so much for p[osting this. It's amazing to see old interviews of him like this
After the competition I never thought of it again. I can picture mentzer seeing this and getting up from his couch and throwing his wine glass into the tv screen, screaming damn you Arnold it's all I thought about for the rest of my life

8:55 The word of the Gods.
The beginning had to be the best soothing introduction and so is the interviewers voice
Wow!
superb video.
She looks ready to have his kids.
Nice interview find! Fascinating despite being low key.

@TheBladerunner1975 As a fan I would agree with you, but something happened there that nearly disqualified him altogether. The rest is history.
@TheBladerunner1975 the reason others was worried, if judges just let him win, which is happened, most shameful Olimpia
I heard he only competed to further promote his film and himself as a movie star
Ofcourse. Arnie is smart
The attitude comes with Dbol.
Stfu dbol? Dbol make you a fat bloated p.o.s if anything it comes from success, winning, and testosterone.

G.O.A.T.
Amazing Arnie
I wasn’t born when he did this video but if I was 😝
Arnold is totally low T here, you can easily tell by how mellow and tired he is 😔
come on - who knows his daily regimen? could have had a rough night, no idea. could be early in the AM after the rough night
Cool
Arnold gaming the interviewer with his body language before the interview started.
You have to join my seminar :)
Conan the buhbarian
One of the greatest upsets in bodybuilding history.
Back then he was nothing compared to today , not signed a single terminator movie
He was a great inspiration for many people that wanted to take up bodybuilding..
Obviously the discussion of steroids would never happen...
Too bad we dont idolize the natural guys.
9:35 Elle le colle un peu beaucoup là non ?
GOAT! Arnie forever
Well 1980 Mr Olympia caused a bit of a dent for his fellow competitors.
It sent mentzer mad
He wasn't happy about winning because he was being heavily booed. He tried to ignore the boos, but could not. He knew he didn't deserve it and he was screaming at Maria to leave with him and get out of there. A few weeks later he was lamenting it and said "It doesn't matter.

I love Arnold, but he is hardly infallible.
its like MJ from NBA world returning after retirement and earning MVP. It's the reputation and hype.
His Deameanor is almost like Michael Jackson very Shy and Reserved for this interview

yes except no, this is just how arnold is same energy different people
@@Daemon1995_ People who do Great things are Sometimes Very Humble and Honest with themselves and others
Arnold is not a shy person, far from it. He just had low T after coming off steroid cycle... that's why he's so mellow, even tired.

So basically won the Olympia just to mess with people. Lol, didnt think I could hold him higher, proven wrong again. Classic Arnie.
One of his competitors called Mike Mentzer was so angry Arnold came back and beat him he never competed again.

Get to the choppa now!🌴🌊🌟⭐🌺🔥🤩
What sport can u go in as a judge then say fuck it i'll enter it ? Sounds pretty shady to me
He wasnt a judge in 1980 but as commentator. So nothing shady about it son
@@DarkoFitCoach I can see Shawn Ray doing it then lol

Haha Aronald did a competition and won which was on the side.
arnold today is not the same arnold back in the 70s and 80s they cloned him haha
You are right about that
Explain Jenaye. I'm curious.
He did NOT tell it a day before the competition. They made a whole docu about it.
Nope Pumping Iron was abut the 75 Olympia
Arnold deve ter passado a berra nesta repórter.🤔😂
Not criticizing cuz I know it's a different time but seeing Arnold randomly talking about his work with "retarded children" made me go 😳 😂
yeah i cringed as well. but thats what they were called back in the day. extremely unfortunate, as language / words matter. an awful word, akin to N word
The 1980 Olympia was a farce. The 1981 Olympia was a fiasco. Mike Mentzer in 1980 and Danny Padilla (Tom Platz 2nd place) in 1981.
Yep. It was a set-up in favour of Arnold.
We have enough fairly decent pictures of all the competitors and Arnold was more ripped than ever. He wasn’t as massive as he was in 74 but he still looked very good. All this talk about how out of shape he was and what a travesty the contest was is ridiculous. Bodybuilding is about 90% subjective so the whole notion that one guy is better than the other is silly

He didn’t earn that last title, he came in with his worst Olympia physique cause he was filming and couldn’t prep correctly, corrupt judging
Look at his teeth.
