Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1975 Training For Mr. Olympia

This is Arnold "The Austrian Oak" at 28 years old training at the legendary Gold's Gym in Venice, California for his last shot of bodybuilding competition for Mr. Olympia 1975.

[@sotospan8409]

The bodybuilders in the 70s look so much better than the ones today. They didn't have all these garbage supplements, only roids and lots of food.

[@darkofight]

as if roid is a good thing.

[@sotospan8409]

It's not, but it's better than HGH.

[@FifDaDragon]

Difference is back in the day it was a year round thing to be in shape, to be Olympian meant day in and day out sculpting whereas now they just dirty bulk and then suck in as many roids/supplements as possible to cut and look like Mutant Turtles

[@slevinsleven2775]

lol, you know that Arnold use to take steroids when he was competing, right? And like most people who train, he was taking proteines supplements as well... just saying...

[@kylethekidable]

+Guttural Vocal Covers Yes suppliments work, protein powder works just not as efficiently as downing chicken or steak. Next, in his day they had plenty of steroids, including test suspensions in a few different esters, dianabol, promobolan, early versions of anavar and masteron and late 70's is when deca was first being worked on. Diuretics? Those have been around since people realized if they ate alot of certain foods it purges the shit out of your system...ever try slicing up and downing a couple pounds of cucumber? You will piss and crap every once of waste out of your body. Late 70's was when clen came out and some body builders played with it because they were starting to realize how the asthma medicine could effect fat loss. Hell, arnold admitted to taking steroids, many believe primobolan was a favorite, given the known effects and signs of appearance of the various available substances of his era. And pure testosterone? Nobody has used that en masse since the russians had it developed because you would literally be pinning twice a day and on enough arimedex to kill your liver in 2 months. You hate anything but eating clean and lifting? Cool bro, but brush up on a subject you want to come on youtube and bash.

[@petrikovak]

that man deserves a huge amount of respect

[@lukefahy2775]

Wow this makes the training in rocky three look like dora the explores field trip to the chocolate factory

[@christophernavarro7810]

lmfao! what a weird comparison

[@betterfasterstronger0]

I mean one was for boxing, and this is for bodybuilding lmao. Apples and oranges.

[@callofdutygym7166]

i wish bodybuilding came back to this the beauty now they look like lab experiments

[@Yacob_Rl]

This is true.

[@gainsandglory6808]

there is natural bodybuilding and men's physique

[@DrSuperpump]

Lucas Valdez but its not the same bro...i wish i could live in the 80s..

[@gainsandglory6808]

DrSuperpump fuck the eighties they're gone and past. Live the best life you can today in the here and now. Bodybuilding will shift back to this eventually just wait. The freak shows are not good for the sport, they will push more and more men's physique and eventually it will just go back to the golden era. Right now size is the prize, but eventually symmetry and proportion will come back. Bodybuilders will become bodybuilders and not lab experiments soon I'm telling you. Watch closely over the next 5-10 years.

[@betterfasterstronger0]

@Unique08 theres always that one ignorant loudmouth...dude not only was it perfectly legal back when Arnold was competing but everyone was using it. You could walk in and have controlled dosages given to you by a physician. Sit down and shut up

[@manicminer4127]

Actually it was the 70's. Steriods are an accepted part of body building, all mr olympia contestants take them. Sticking a needle in your body doesn't give you muscles. It just enables you to get bigger when you train and eat correctly. You still have to push yourself to the edge further than the other guys and have the diet keyed in 100%.

[@spyware1100]

Actually, they give you muscles! There was a study where people who took steroids but didn't work out at all in a 8 week period gained more muscle than who trained naturally for 8 weeks. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101 .... 10 weeks, my bad :)

[@n1ghtmare724]

[@huss03]

The T-bar rows scene is the best one from Pumping Iron...He's absolutely ferocious on those

[@GranVlog]

Daaamn, this music really warms me up. Works well with Arnie.

[@chrishall7915]

Love the fact that the music comes from Rocky

[@JD_2597]

That chest, my gosh its beautiful.

[@stephencorran]

Brilliant, very motivational. Love the Arnie training clips edited with the Rocky training music.

[@rikxification]

love the rocky music to this, great video, thanks- very motivational

[@martflowgar]

rocky soundtrack + arnold training= great inspiration to train 200%

[@bb0yba0]

you gotta love the rocky music, goes great with any motivation montage.

[@handsume19]

they will never be one like him the other day i readed a magazine sayin that the body that he had at the time cuz of made him win 16 mr.o that just crazy !!!!!!! the best and will alway be !!!

[@EduDixie]

The image of him doing t bar rows is just motivation enough to change a fuckin life

[@mcmjr405]

Ah-nald+Rocky music=EPIC MOTIVATION!!! Best of both worlds!!

[@dnbAyron]

look at that determination

[@geordys1]

This proves that form isnt that big of a deal as long as you push yourself.

[@betterfasterstronger0]

What? Form is a huge deal and Arnold was the one who made that imperative in his interviews. Did we watch the same video lmao

[@LUKERs1196]

@@betterfasterstronger0 Arnold's firm isn't perfect, despite having the best looking physique I have ever seen imo, in this video, he isn't getting much depth in his squats and his swing on his curls, his form isn't that strict here

[@edlo123]

very nicely made video. this is my favorite. make some more!

[@bpointe3888]

Pound for pound, and for his height, Arnold was THE man, PERIOD!

[@alex.riganas]

this guy is a god and to say back then they didnt have such thing as a PCT to keep most of the gains he made on the steds,hes a fucking god.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Every time I take a look at Arnie, I just can't help to admire his chest. No one matched it even 30+ years later!

[@BarneysKiller00]

The motherfucking king of bodybuilding!

[@MrWondaFul]

Absolute Legend

[@DreamBig2GoBig]

he is. when he was 53, he could still do multiple reps of bench at 315 like it was nothing. now he's in his 60s, but still if he held that much strength at 53, he's gotta be one damn strong 60-year old

[@josubg73]

this men.its a men to follow he had what it takes to be at the top.......great man you are arnold

[@studywar7075]

He actually had a 34 inch waist. When he was stating his stats on a 70's dating game show he stated his arms were 22 inches, waist 34 inches, etc...

[@madmot]

1:51 Oooo he is chewing on his senzu beans!! That's why he's so strong.

[@HeineHeine]

@Shreedhan thanks mate!

[@goodfellazflo1]

Greatest Body Builder Ever

[@ExploringHabit]

One word , Legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josubg73]

he was only 28 at the time.......this men has reach very young to the top

[@tr4iner]

good video

[@georgesiblesz]

By far the best pecs and biceps ever.

[@platinumprince95]

rocky music can motivate anyone:D

[@steroidzr4loserz]

This video helped me increase my dumb bell curl max of 22.5, to 25.

[@wheeliebin77]

LOVE THE ROCKY MUSIC! GENIUS!!!

[@roflercoastah]

The thing I love most about this video is his awesome hair.

[@cacho2049]

Arnold Numero Uno

[@petecabrina]

1:02 This must have been training for the scene in Total Recall when they get sucked out into the atmosphere.

[@mashamorgan]

Has anyone ever seen a pic of Arnold doing a rear lat spread on stage before? I have searched since the 70s and still havent found one !! I've seen many of Franco's awesome rear lat spread !

[@Tsaunders1307]

I will say it before and again. Arnold and Serge nubret had the best physiques in the history of bodybuilding. They are not mass freaks yet still have enough mass and that perfect blend of symmetry to look the best.

[@CTurns4]

Bill Conti- Going the Distance There is also a rap song called "Cant be Touched" by Roy Jones Jr the basically uses it

[@steroidzr4loserz]

@jackydefo Bill conti - Going the distance. It was created for the movies Rocky and Rock II.

[@martflowgar]

I don´t konw why I´m crying !

[@michaelcolella5738]

This is the same music in the Rocky II movie training scene.

[@morrieswigs]

its "going the distance" from the rocky soundtrack

[@AmyLeesPetWookiee]

@kgon900 It's Going The Distance by Bill Conti. There are two versions, the original and the remastered version released along side Rocky Balboa. Take care!

[@lauantain]

[@MrMogilski]

yeah arnold much respect

[@ozkanaydin5576]

Good years when women were not in gyms...

[@StuartBoffin1]

@hawkermana132 i think it is, the way dorian yates (other mr olympia champion) says to do it it is to not move the rest of your body at all.

[@AmyLeesPetWookiee]

Rocky 1 music makes everything cooler.

[@Turbo_956]

does anyone know where to get one of the muscle shirts all the bodybuilders wear? Like the yellow one Arnold is wearing. I would like to look at my muscles when I work them out, but my gym doesn't allow you to be shirtless and I've looked everywhere for these kinds of shirts and I can't find them. All I find are the regular sleeveless shirts.

[@ronalderik]

The best!!!! Golds Gym

[@loosekarrott]

@StanleyKu he did hold down a job and also took college courses while grabbing title after title.

[@tubernery]

Sure, i cant past link here, but the title of vid is "Bigger Stronger Faster - Arnold Posters Are Back Up!"

[@FrankXtreme76]

If he have won over 7 times i think he knows how to train

[@trekgeek1]

@simbaRahh I think I agree for the most part. People have the right to smoke, drink, etc. It seems you have the right to put whatever you want in your body. You make a good point, if you are competing, you don't deserve to win against people who do it naturally. But, if you're not winning anything for doing it, it shouldn't matter.

[@marvelsgreatestfan]

its called "going the distance" from the rocky films

[@jayedavidson6393]

The music is from Rocky II

[@TruthTriumphs786]

This song suits his training

[@Mr786Addzy]

The mostly beastly beast in the history of beasts!

[@loosekarrott]

@StanleyKu yeah, that's true. then again, his bodybuilding was hard work.

[@edlo123]

arnold should see this video he might like it

[@Latye1]

best body of all time

[@whitedawg1984]

Fuck... Just wana hit the gym. LOVE THE PUMP!!!

[@tubernery]

In the movie, Bigger Stronger Faster, they say Arnie took his posters down from gold's gym because he didn't want to be associated with steroids during campaign for governator. Is that true?? and now a youtube video implies that the posters were back up shortly after this movie was released. maybe it's just coincidence and posters were taken down for renovations.

[@Parkerni]

Its in his encyclopedia. It's harder for taller guys to keep from leaning forward, I have the same problem. I feel it in the quads just the same though!

[@JPLooney]

@flaviolas Theme from Rocky! The original training montage!

[@aldamis8384]

His chest is insane.

[@alansjf33]

bill conti going the distance. puffy never really made any music. just sampled. remember that.

[@psyduck85]

amazing body

[@epic3338]

He's so strong im only 14 and i bench 240 when he was 14 he was benching maybe 360 or something

[@bLacksheep988]

that's my warmup.

[@lemmy5599]

It's so funny watching this with soundtrack from Rocky

[@pe6obutilkata]

The King.

[@dustem69]

hit 4. wait 3 seconds. hit 4. wait 3 seconds. hit 4. wait 3 seconds.

[@HeineHeine]

@Shreedhan what is he training then? biceps,triceps,back?

[@orangevirus2]

there is no "modern bodybuilding".To tell you the truth, many of todays bodybuilders could easily look like the ones in the 70's and 80's, choosing the corect training, dedication, inspiration, hard work and perseverance. but afterall it's a matter of choice.and i agree that today's competition isn't as though as the old ones, back in the 70's were much stronger dreams to acheive than today's comodity.

[@1974beats]

every time I hear him yell in pain.....I just wanna do another rep....Arrrghhhhhhh!!!

[@ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣΚΟΥΚΑΔΑΚΗΣ]

this song is complete for him!!!

[@zonaspeedy]

good video what s the name of the song?

[@stymee216]

that is terrifying

[@SwhereNthing]

The Legend

[@steroidzr4loserz]

@jackydefo You're welcome bro. I know the pain of not knowing the names of great songs so I figured I might as well tell you on the spot! Good luck with your work outs.

[@mfoster831]

@borisnooblet He was doing T-bar rows at 1:20 if I am not mistaken.

[@neoi78]

@2010Mrsurfer I dont know what the original comment was.. but shakes are snake oil for the most part. Drink milk, eat clean, you'll get big, if you eat a diet of mainly fish, meat, chicken,milk, and cheese, you'll get your protein in, it will take care of itself! I eat 200-300g's a day without protein shakes.. Shakes are an ocasional additive to your diet. Shouldn't be a staple of it, in my opinion,

[@jackydefo]

whats this song called ive been trying to find it

[@themeaningoflife38]

right you have high bar squats & low bar squats.Powerlifters get the bar as low as possible for leverage.

[@ImSuperVince]

@therpk11 He didnt just do a million reps with smaller weight though he did small reps to fatigue by doing drop sets.

[@Superegio42]

If Arnold should ever become a Senator, he should defends his laws and legislations by challenging the opposition to a bench press match! XD Arnold would rule the chamber, as he did the Mister Universe stage. Kudos to Arnie!

[@Jaso700]

thats how it was done! Arnie was a true legend in the art of building! not like the freaks of today!

[@Goatse88]

@MorganJn16 any rocky soundtrack

[@Tomn8er]

@superchickenboy2 yeah but he had already trained while on steroids for many years prior to that so no, you can't get as big as he was in T2 naturally (unless you have ronnie coleman-type genetics)

[@bahnoiji719]

my favorite NATURAL body builder with natural legs just like mine.

[@betterfasterstronger0]

Arnold wasnt natural. All of them in the 70's took steroids.

[@silky1700]

now thats the real arnold, he was thinner when he made terminator.
