[@mattybt400]

Back when bodybuilders had great bodies, small waists, and hair.

[@zSxyHD]

omg, this is so cool to watch.. number 4, christer eriksson is my father and today he is 54 years old and own a company called nordic gym, and he still works out and still looks quite fit

[@JohnProph]

Christer Eriksson was on the cover of one of the first bodybuilding mags I ever bought. Muscle and Fitness Nov 1983 www.ebay.com/itm/MUSCLE-FITNESS-bodybuilding-magazine-Marcia-Goebel-Christer-Eriksson-11-83-/401474324295

[@soreal8717]

Top athlète 👍💪

[@zSxyHD]

this is so dope still

[@sumitd500]

Thats Great!👍💫

[@dkes6049]

Glad to know that! Christer Eriksson was probably only 24 years old then and was on several magazine covers, thanks to his size and marketable good looks. Don't know how tall he was then (probably 186 cm) but no one in this heavyweight line-up was shorter than 183 cm.

[@docadams2012]

Mike "no legs but I have gyno" christian didnt deserve to win this. Demey was the winner here. Again he always throws a huge tantrum when he loses so I guess the judges were afraid to place him second.

[@bigd7696]

Mike had legs, they just weren't big enough for his frame. Agreed, Demey was overall better. And I met Mike once at one of my shows in Redondo Beach, GREAT guy.

[@docadams2012]

@@bigd7696 Later in his career he somewhat balanced it but at the time this contest happened his legs were too deficient. To the extent he kept standing sideways on the stage. Look at this competition the full video and you will notice he continues to stand sideways and never facing the judges because he knows his legs are too small. Standing sideways made them look somewhat more propionate .

[@tomokothevampirekitten8837]

I can give my cousin your number so you can tell him how you really feel. 😂 just playing be well

[@roystonhughes3278]

What can I say about "NO BUBBLE GUTS" pure V shaped physiques

[@David-lx4yb]

I miss the “No Bubble Gut” days. 😢

[@wataboutya9310]

Berry De Mey was just phenomenal here. Listening to those commentators diss him about his tattoo and how it detracts from his physique is quite interesting when you fast forward thirty or so years.

[@animalmother5287]

Tattoos look just as stupid today as they did then

[@dogfoegami]

@@animalmother5287 some tattoo's yes not all

[@AdamWestish]

I barely understand you but I already totally agree, based on this video. Wow. Just awesome physiques and he was just amazing

[@David-lx4yb]

Sorry, but even today, tattoos distract from physique.

[@ahmadbinfadzil8258]

I think everyone in this world who were born before 1984 wish to come back to this year; not because they could watch the competition again but we are all very young back again.

[@marceloserra6321]

Bodybuilders with gyno should be placed last, sadly this is still happening these times... Berry had amazingly better condition than Mike...

[@robertogonzales1956]

Hey thanks Chris, 25-30 reps for calves. I'll give it a shot. I think Berry should have won. Better overall.

[@craigsteele8178]

Berry Demey was the model Bodybuilder of the late 80’s early 90’s . In my opinion if he hadn’t had tore his pectoral muscle the potential was their for the Olympia. He just had lines shape and mass at a majestic level. Great physique!!...

[@lobby-3alliance196]

I agree, but Bob Paris always gave him a run for his money. Similar physiques !!

[@bonnyh5932]

Pretend that these commentators traveled to the future for about an hour or two and saw what today's bodybuilding physiques look like. And travel back in 1984 and have a different opinion about these bodybuilders adding more muscle and size. Old school physiques are better looking than today's monster physiques, seriously!

[@pediatrapaola]

far better looking l saw live many of that time guys included mike c and barry dm and were fantastic today looks awful

[@cebukid70]

Such a weird time when Bodybuilding was actually on regular, commercial TV!!

[@merockunot]

I knew Mike Christian from Golds gym during this time. Totally approachable bodybuilder and over all very nice guy. He had a cool Bull Terrier named Bulls Eye that he would bring to the gym.

[@RockstahRolln]

Such beautiful Physiques!!

[@thomasgonzales2728]

Beautiful this is bodybuilding bring it back 🙏

[@oreldm]

He definitely won the best GYNO

[@gregbellisle9128]

Mike Christian didnt have "gyno" it was just cold on the stage that night! 😂

[@dockvernct8760]

I like the 70s and 80s accent. People sounded so casual and care-free. Now men sound like machines, and women do upspeak...

[@johnndamascene]

+Dock Vernct I noticed that too, such an approachable tone from everyone.

[@dougl945]

People don’t have interpersonal skills anymore. Everyone texts.

[@spacecase7566]

It is very casual. 2nd person had a poor posing routine...

[@desafiandooerrado3419]

Época de ouro!

[@user-fe8kt1wl4g]

Berry Demay is very good-looking and the most muscular!! He is very nice guy!!

[@Underhills]

Wow, Christer Erikson. A blast from the past. Remember he used to appear in quite a few BB mags back in the 80s. Great decade.

[@user-fe8kt1wl4g]

10年前に初めてこの動画を見ました。ベリー・ドメイが素晴らしかったです。

[@MisterOrange234]

I recoreded this on ESPN back in the '80s and watched this many many times..... 30+ years ago, I was very annoyed at Dickerson's biased toward Mike "chicken legs" Christian.......and watching this as a 50 year old man, still annoyed. DeMey had zero major weaknesses unlike Christian's skinny ass calves.... DeMey was robbed for sure.

[@WhyAreTheyOverHere]

The gyno should have been a factor too.

[@sumitd500]

Christian was good but no way he could place 1st with those legs💭

[@WhyAreTheyOverHere]

or gyno.

[@raleeuw]

One of the best video’s👍💪

[@Thatcardude207]

Wish i could tell Mr. Christian you have no legs so yes you do have glaring weakness. The way you never face the crowd and always tilt to the side tells me you KNOW that you have weak legs.

[@usamnmusclenut]

Love that old school muscle...no roid guts here. Wish they wore today’s posers and film quality. Love straight guys descriptions...

[@BiodegradeableMan]

In 1984 Brian Buchanan was amazing!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Berry DeMay won the World Games so he qualified in that win.

[@markwalter1050]

Berry DeMey was so so so so🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

[@garyshilton9502]

Politics in bodybuilding even back then!!!

[@dockvernct8760]

Those are second generation body builders: huge doses of test but no hgh, no diuretics, no fat burners, no stupid ketogenic diet, therefore no fucking pregnant guts.

[@glennday7802]

Just massive doses of gyno!

[@anttilaakkonen4390]

All these guys look better than Bostin Loyd lol

[@frankenfaq4706]

I would love to hear these guys judge the current line up today .. lmao they would be disappointed

[@huss03]

Berry DeMay should have won this. Christian had no calves. DeMay had abetter overall proportion and shape. Christian's greater muscularity has incurred a pretty bad case of gyno...wouldn't be surprised if he was carrying the heaviest drug load in this lineup.

[@G1920D]

Very nice video but sad to see MC has so big BT's

[@mikevaldez7684]

Will someone post the Naba Universe from 1983 and 1986? Specifically the amateur class from the former and the pro from the latter? Jeff king won those slots ;.....what's with only showing IFBB shows? is this site owned by Weider or what? lol

[@wwss3330]

Mike had gyno

[@highviewseeker5415]

how do you win with serious gyno? lmao

[@39Hundred]

highview seeker Franco won in 1981 and Ronnie Coleman won in 1998; both with gyno.

[@paulk9603]

The all better than Lee Naney and Dorian 💪

[@russclark2496]

I could argue the guy in sixth was the best? Hard to believe Christian was the smallest of the group.

[@riceflatpicking4954]

The mystery of how the pyramids were built will be solved before we figure out how Chris Dickerson won the Olympia

[@toddleslien1]

amazing video upload more

[@sueharmes9443]

incredible difference from now ,what the hell are these modern guys taking ?

[@JimmySpeeds]

+Ercan Özkan hgh wasn't as common in the 80s. neither was insulin usage. but diet and training wasnt as knowledgeable back then

[@menknurlan]

they inject pure cancer into their muscles.

[@mattybt400]

HGH.Insulin.Larger doses or steroids.

[@markpainter5863]

HGH, IGF-I, and insulin.

[@David-lx4yb]

It was almost all available, but much more difficult to get without a doctor’s prescription. Most of the bodybuilders back in that era did get it through a doctor, mostly through Dr. Richard Kerr, who’s office was in San Gabriel.

[@AngelOliva302]

Berry DeMay should have won this one for sure.

[@jessesuthers9588]

Berry got ripped off here

[@LegendMathai]

Everyone was posing fast as fuck and it just felt off.

[@edwardrodascotera8417]

Armonioso y simétrico... Nadie pensaría 15 años después ver gordos dilatados con apariencia de mutantes... Una pena

[@thebeast5054]

I need to know the name of the song the first guy was posing to

[@Danny-uz9zb]

Mike Christian....... one man's playful ham is another man's arrogant douchebag. As he said, he had no weaknesses.......... other than very noticeable gyno, lagging quads, no hamstrings, and weak calves. Other than that, he was the complete package.

[@andreluiz-ff4cw]

And a nubain and cocaine addict

[@kingryuga9710]

His quads are Not lagging, He had the best in the competition...

[@Danny-uz9zb]

@@kingryuga9710 You and Mike Christian are the only ones that think that. "Best in the competition"?!? What a knucklehead!!!

[@WhyAreTheyOverHere]

His quads were underdeveloped for his upper body and his calves were under developed for his quads. His gyno was the largest and most impressive since Franco Columbu.

[@lilyverschnaetti8558]

I would like to see the 2 commentators.

[@russ5024]

One is Chris Dickerson, the first black Mr. America and a former page at NBC

[@Utubesuxmycock]

lol exorcist music at intro hahahaha second guy sounded like christmas 80s synth music lol

[@David-lx4yb]

Loved bodybuilding up until the Dorian Yates era, but yea, the music these guys chose back in the day was pretty bad. It doesn’t appear that they put much thought into the choice back in then.

[@peter357]

Why did a man with womens breast tissue win a male BB comp???

[@Kakaroti]

Mike Christian's Gyno was the real deal....

[@grundel777]

Awesome

[@khrissy1993]

MY MAN.MIKE CHRISTIAN.

[@AlexMartinez-1316]

6:30 commentators said "he needs work on his abdominals" they are probably disgusted with today's BB if that's the case lol. Or rolling over in their graves if they are no longer with us....

[@bendossantos783]

Demey was robbed.

[@phill.5996]

People with blatant gyno shouldn't win bb competitions

[@thebeast5054]

Anybody know the song playing at 0:40?

[@1aikane]

Where are these guys today?

[@MUSCLELOVER4me]

BT's ?

[@josephmiller9424]

They might put them to each other for the reason if the winner should've been number 2 instead 1st

Wish someone had the courage to call a competition Mr. Steroids. Cause that's the most honest name for any BB contest.

[@andrew-martin]

Lol! Nice play on names.

[@jackjohnson4701]

there you heard it mike on 150-200 grams protien at 220 you just don't nned so much protien

[@Tabish29]

Christian clear winner. De May hadn't peaked yet. Tore his pec after or else was the mr O. But Haney was too good.
