[@wardenzo]

I'm new to this channel, but I'm guessing they used the raw film, which has way better quality than could ever be broadcasted, or even screened, in 1969. Most movies and tv-segments have incredible quality if one would look up the original plastic film. That's for example how they've remastered Once Upon a Time in the West recently.

But outside it's living human tissues.

Insane, absolutely incredible quality and a moment in time captured. Back when bodybuilding still had some dignity

[@DM-kv9kj]

The steroid industry completely co-opted the sport to push more and more of their drugs. The bodies they have now are absolutely disgusting, completely out of proportion for any kind of elegance and proper symmetry and I do not get why they all have to lather themselves with brown boot polish...a normal, healthy light tan looks so much better on white guys. They all look like Ross Geller after he gets way too much spray tan.

This IS what I call the Real Bodybuilding

[@Sawrattan]

The beauty of these bodybuilders was that they were rare. Nowadays it's common so no one bats an eyelid. it's like taking the fur coat out of the jeans cupboard and putting it in a wardrobe full of fur coats.

[@stevensonoma6646]

Sawrattan I would have to disagree

[@knightveg]

no from 1910's to late 1970's bodybuilders were rare & bodybuilding died after that, as now days it all about steroids evening the average gym takes more steroids than 1948's to 1977s men & women. what would be rare we seem more natural bodybuilders again reaching the maximum potential

[@krinkle7695]

But people are also way more obese now days

About 80% of the West is overweight and obese so I don't know what you're talking about. Out of the countless gyms I've been to, maybe 10% of the people I've seen look anything like these guys.

[@Trenacetate43]

You cant compare them with current pro bodybuilders nowadays. Also what do you mean by common idiot. Unless you live near Venice gold gym where almost all the guys use steroids then yeah but nowhere else no. More people might be more muscular and have more size now but you dont get this quality (proportion, symmetry, aesthetics) often no matter what era.

I read a book written by Arnold himself, and if I remember correctly, he wrote that he had his first contest when he was in the army, he jumped out of the army camp and won the contest, he returned to the camp with his trophy so the commander of the army camp didn't make a big deal out of it. (He was big when he was enrolled in the army and they put him into a tank division, it was obligatory army camp)
