[@therealcooterbrown]

The Golden Era of Bodybuilding in Southern California had to be one of the coolest things to be a part of.

[@KongMotivation]

No doubt! look at the vibe

[@IVEdge]

They could also afford to do very little work

[@trinihammer]

yeah, but 90% of the bodybuilders in this video are now working out in the big gym in heaven. ed corney,franco colombo,mike mentzer,ray mentzer,serge nubret,dave draper may they all rest in peace.

[@entelektuel.yolculuk]

​@@KongMotivationdon't ve forgetting the video of 1890's to 1940's noir, noir jazz and detective, Fedora, lovers etc. And vibe of rock and roll from 60's, 70's and 80's. And shounen anime and chips vibes of (and metal and rock still continued) in 90' and very warly 2000's. And vibes of Russian architecture, Islamic architecture, vites of Shaolin monks, ninjas, samurais, vites of ancient Greek and Rome. Vibes of pirates on ships. Vibes of cowboys. Vibes of German folktales: the tales of Grimm brothers

I got a taste of the old school at age 15 when I started training in a backyard, open-air gym under a big shed with rusty, old equipment and 40 year old guys with 20 year old bodies...I didn't know it yet, but I was experiencing the end of an era...

[@KongMotivation]

What an experience! Training in a backyard, open-air gym with rusty old equipment and old-school style. ❤ sad but this era is over bro

[@trinihammer]

yeah, thats how i first started to train back in 1980. now at 61 i still workout but i got to go to those airy fairy commercial gyms with people moaning if the gym is too noisy what a drag.

[@NemeanLion-]

Back when bodybuilders had physiques the ordinary man wanted to attain.

[@theuserme2024]

you can see that physique on classic now maybe you are comparing it to open?

[@NemeanLion-]

@@theuserme2024 Classic is a step in the right direction, but their symetry is still not the same. Not to mention the volumizing chemicals and the lack of muscle maturity.

[@JsoProductionChannel]

@@NemeanLion- the difference is just they have bigger legs today and are way more lean. also, the cameras back then made things look different. maybe that effect also does something

[@NemeanLion-]

@@JsoProductionChannel I don’t agree. They had more muscle maturity back then. Nowadays it’s true the legs are bigger, but they don’t look necessarily better. Today they have too much inner thigh development and not enough lower quad development. The golden era guys also used to be able to wear regular jeans and not sweatpants everywhere they went. That’s what ordinary people wanted. People want a Frank Zane or a Serge Nubret body.

[@JsoProductionChannel]

@@NemeanLion- yes, they are all about the size. a large inner thigh looks bad.

[@arepitagrande8797]

As a non Bodybuilder I totally agree with the criticism of nowadays people in the gym. Wearing headphones all the time and living for tic toc and self posture. Those old time guys were much more sociable, dedicated and passionate. Pretty sad not have lived in those days...

[@akshitnirwal]

and old school bodybuilder also ate dairy products

[@mrjohn.whereyoufrom]

Back in the early 90's I trained in a gym that was in a large garage at the rear of a house owned by a former Mr England. Bare concrete floors, rusty plates, pure iron equipment, cold in winter, hot in the summer. It was perfect.

[@KongMotivation]

Dude I can imaginw.... Thanks for sharing ❤

[@peterjohnson8935]

70-80s bodybuilding the best. I'm 55 this year and still give it my all. No time for stupid selfies and texting.

[@Manusia.satu1]

One of the best era of BODYBUILDING

[@davidc4408]

This was the time of no earphones or airpods but social community. No BS phones or smart phones. People were present in the moment. You trained with a training partner and if no partner you just joined a group or met someone training the body part you want to train. Helping each other with last forced sets, super sets etc. With loud hardcore music pumping to add to the atmosphere. Followed by a protein shake at the end in lobby with others discussing training etc

[@elhombrebilingue]

I'm in the process of reviving my bodybuilding lifestyle. Videos like this are the perfect catalyst for me to revive that awesome winning lifestyle.

[@alexanderimmortal4354]

Love lifting. Built my own home garage gym completely old school just me and the weights. Been lifting for 35 years and am 6’2 260 lbs solid at 54 years of age. 💪🏻😎👊

[@allurisiddarth1481]

Have you gotten tall by lifting heavyweight or its gene

[@iarleyzelaya81]

it is mainly genetics but, i was in my 15s and got my first gym membership, i was 5'5 and by my 16s i was 5'10 (i grew that in just like 5 months) and rn in my 17s i am 6'2, i think that the gym boosted my testosterone making me taller and things like that, because i grew very quickly after joining the gym. But is mainly genetics. my father is 5'8 and my mom is 5'4 so idk but is mainly genetics.@@allurisiddarth1481

[@KongMotivation]

There is nothing like old school bodybuilding ❤

[@nygroover397]

I trained at Elmo's in the Bronx. Old School vibe. Store front in the BX. Hardcore until they had to admit the hobbyist and girls. Not women. Drew in the b.s.ers killed it for most of us. The son or grand son made the financial decision that was best. The place that had been around for 20+years closed in less than two years. Elmo's gym and community centers. Basement weight rooms. Moved my lifting to the basement of my apartment building. The vibe is real. H.S. they had an agenda for my training in football. But it wasn't right for me. 20 Rep Squats. Do Or Die. Baby. Milk by the gallon. Eat right. Sleep. Meditation, go get it. That good sore feeling. Struggling to make it home on almost dead legs. Then get up and do it again tomorrow.

[@dashmasterson1040]

Years ago I seen Tom Platz at a seminar he was doing at a local gym. Of course people were yelling at him to show the legs. He said that he didn't have any posing trunks with him but the crowd kept yelling, so, he just drops his pants and starts posing. Good times.

[@shonuffLA]

That’s awesome

[@knownoboundaries___]

Tom Platz is so humble. I can listen to him all day! My favorite.

Gold’s Gym 1978 that’s where I started seriously lifting. This is when Gold’s Gym was in Santa Monica in between the two times that they were in Venice and then moved back to Venice.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Go to the Gym, go to the Beach, and eat a lot, living the dream!

[@KongMotivation]

100%

[@Pulsonar]

The camera angle in the massive gyms made them look like an industrial manufacturing site. What comes across well is the colossal energy and electrifying vibe in the Californian bodybuilding community. It was inevitable that Hollywood come knocking on their doors. They couldn’t ignore the characters at the top of the tree for long. Back in the day I often dreamed of travelling to Cali US just to be a part of that world. For me it looked the perfect dream lifestyle, that’s how my young naive teenage mind worked. But not everything that looks like Golds gym is golds…

*There was truly a comradery and fraternity back then. Arnold mentioned that his first competition in America he lost to Frank Zane. After that, he invited Frank to stay and train with him for a month. They were all bringing out the best in one another back then.*

[@drhkleinert8241]

As a fun fact, in my hometown we had two small gyms in 78-83 (then more and more opens and closes), and many members of the gyms knows each other from schooltimes, and so it was no matter where you be a member, it was a kind of ONE SCENE. You know him, he knows them etc, and in summer everybody was going to our public bath in the city. In one ofe these gyms there were contestants, not that big but doing contests for fun, but no one was arrogant or had bad behaviour against skinny wannabe Bodybuilders. I like to remember that time when i was 16 to 20 yrs old. And, more fun: Once i was in the public bath/pool in summer with my elder brother and my dad (both liked BB and Arnold but dont lift) i was talking to other BB i know, incl these contestants my Dad wanted to impress them (bec as a young man he was an Acrobat and trained with Pro Circus Acrobats) and shows them Flic Flac and Salto...The big guys were really impressed about this old man, they cant do that... Was a funny day. And later, when the biggest gym (where the contestants are) reopens the owner invited a real Mr.Universe, Jeff King. So i grabbed my Dad and we drove to the Gym so he saw a real Mr. Universe... And now? Both Gym Owners from the first Gyms in Town are dead now, same with my brother and my Dad... And the old Golden Era BB Scene here.

Tell Franco Columbu he didn't lift heavy. Those guys lifted heavy. Sure, much of it was mind muscle connection and quality reps. The 70's to early 80's had the best physiques, iMO. Beautifully aesthetic, symmetrical and good size. Then things changed where it wasn't who had the best physique, but who looked like the biggest freak. To me, today's bodybuilders can't hold a candle to the old school physiques.

Many of the images are from the 80s and most of the 70s footage comes from the documentary ''Pumping Iron''. This is not necessarily a criticism. Just the observation that if it weren't for this bodybuilding classic, there would unfortunately not be many images that would remain from the 70s in gyms. Aside from old magazines and memory.

[@qp4367]

Thanks for fact checking. Always gotta check the comment section I guess

[@superpoacher6711]

The clatter of iron dumbells crushing together was stimulating.. I couldn't wait to get to the gym, it was intoxicating... This video hits it 100% No crazy heavy weights, minimal steroids & patience! It was an amazing era as was the era of Jay Cutler, Ronnie Colman etc.

[@artemisia2002us]

All true but the minimal steroid part doesn't fit my experience of those years. I'd see them trade/sell/share fairly openly in the free-weight room in the mid-1980's. I still prefer the culture of that time to today's toxic mess, though.

The most important thing you have to do in a gym is to post a lot of videos in social media and take care of your haircut and your fancy clothes!!! This is the solid ground for a leading role in the bodybuilding scene. When you have an 36 centimeter arm and a 90 centimeter chest your are a really top star!!! Not to forget your extreme strength: doing squats with an amazing weight of 20 kilogram and a bench press with 8 kilos. This are the "heroes" in these days, and they can be very, very proud of their extraordinary bodies!!!!! MUAAAAH!!!!

Next up our documentary "Gold's Gym" narrated by David Attenborough. "Here you see the bodybuilder in his natural habitat. In the sun-kissed lands of Venice Beach, the 1970s Gold's Gym emerged as a sanctuary for the mighty species known as bodybuilders, each individual engaged in the relentless pursuit of physical excellence. Here, amidst the clatter of weights and the chorus of effort, these human titans carved their bodies, not unlike sculptors shaping the very essence of nature itself. It was a spectacle of strength and determination, where the laws of the jungle were written in sweat and iron, a testament to the enduring spirit of the human will."
