ARNOLD AT 21 YEARS OLD - HE LOOKED LIKE A GREEK GOD - ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOTIVATION

[@stevepick9527]

Old bodybuilder here… I still remember like it was yesterday when Arnold was on the cover of bodybuilder magazine doing that side chest shot. I couldn’t believe my eyes! You have to remember this is way back in the late 60s. The closest to him at the time and was his equal was Sergio, but Sergio didn’t know how to pose. I was lucky enough to see both of them on several occasions on stage.

[@HerculesBodybuilding]

Arnold's physique is truly timeless! The dedication and hard work that went into sculpting his body to look like a Greek god is beyond inspiring. This video really captures the essence of the golden era of bodybuilding - pure passion, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Makes you want to hit the gym and push your limits! 💪🔥

[@jackvannote]

Beautiful video, I met him that year also when he was 21 and I'm much younger, my Dad a Dutch-Austrian was able to arrange for me to see him backstage because I had been ill and was drawing inspiration from him To talk to him or rather to have him talk with me was very special and he was very kind. It would be years later before I understood the totality of why. You see my problem had been heart condition and it would be his problem he face at some point also as it ran in both our families. His kindness and the immensity of his capacity to install uplifting motivation in another were as unsurpassed aa his physique. We have continued to stay in touch on and off throughout the years and still remain one for all and all for one in our support of each other.

Unlike any of the other Sandow winners over the history of Mr O, Arnold had already amassed the bulk of his ultimate musculature by 20yrs of age. Those pecs are peerless.

[@unknowndriver6652]

He is the goat not doubt. What fascinate me about Arnold is that he figured everything out by himself at a very young age imagine living in a small town in the middle of nowhere and still manage to be a pro bodybuilder at 19 years old.. how many people knew about bodybuilding back in the 70s ? Very few but in the small town where he was born problably nobody 😂.. truly amazing he is the chosen one for sure

"He looked like a Greek god....how perfectly balanced his physique was." This ridiculous blandishment for someone that had underdeveloped thighs, biceps that overshadowed his triceps, "coat hanger" shoulders and back development that lack width. During his Olympia reign, he was probably second best being surpassed by Sergio Oliva and perhaps Robby Robinson. Give credit where credit is due.

[@johnrobinson4445]

Do they mention drug-enhancement even once? He put on 25 pounds of muscle - his best year - during his fifth year of training. That marks the change from well-built kid to mass-monster. And it cannot happen with just "hard work".

[@Ladygaga4047]

[@paulrichmond9720]

I too clicked because of Dave Drapers presence. But at 21 I have to disagree with you. Yes he showed massive potential and went on to achieve greatness. But at 21 showed glaring weaknesses. Draper at that age was far better.

[@netzexperte1488]

no one has the genetic of Arnold, but he is only a simple human beeing. Clear is, that I see today not one who has a comparable body. But sorry his talking about hard work is ridicolous. Everyone can do hard work. But without the God gifted genetics hard work is totally in vain. So instead of beeing proud of your hard work you should thank God that He alone gave you that genetics. Without that genetics you would still today sell chips on a gasoline station.

Good vid overall, but you ruined it by emphasizing the 1980 Mr. O at the end. Arnie didn’t deserve that Win, wasn’t at his best, handful of other competitors were in better condition on that day. I was there, you don’t have to listen to me, but you should have heard the crowd they knew it wasn’t his Win legitimately. Shame to end Arnie’s BB Career that way. Better to go natural anyways guys, live longer & healthier. You’d still be amazed how strong & muscular you can get Naturally, just takes the hard work talked about in this video & consistency! Workout ‘smart’, not cheatingly using drugs. Then you’ll know YOU did it !!! not the chemicals with all their side effects.

Would like to have a video included on how 1980 was totally rigged for Arnold. How in 1975 Serge Nubret was told 12 days before the comp he could not compete (because he was good enough to beat arnold that year), and only 'allowed' to compete again 1 day before the comp after having lost 10+ lbs of muscle and seen as beatable by Arnold. Also how tricks were needed to defet Serge Olivia and how Arnolds would be rival in the early-Mid 1970's was conveniently banned from IFBB competition. Arnold indeed had great genetitcs, but i think the full story of what went on would paint a better picture of this man's actual 'greatness'.
