GOLDEN ERA GYM VIBE - TRAIN LIKE A 70'S BODYBUILDER - OLD SCHOOL BODYBUILDING MOTIVATION

[@Manusia.satu1]

One of the best era of BODYBUILDING

[@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

[@Felale]

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.

[@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius]

​@@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

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.

[@kakarot8450]

When bodybuilding was about what it should be, AESTHETICS.

[@paulbunyan9436]

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.

[@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 ❤

[@JamesBadger1]

I love that it's a 70"s video, but you show footage of 80's cars driving by, lol!

[@gagandhaliwal1453]

RIP Mr. Columbo. One of the best physiques ever.

[@h.g.3525]

arnold is on point. Whenever I go to the Gym, I put on my wireless headphones, listen to my music and thats it. When I rest between sets I just stare at the floor and drink my water, then when its been a min or so, I go back to my routine of lifting. I see all these people texting, watching videos, take 10 min rests between sets while talking to someone. Even if you work out for your health, you still have to be in the zone.

[@russell6777]

Been training over 40 years, I couldn’t agree more 🇬🇧

[@JonathanCodes-ol1cm]

Get a home gym then. If you really want to focus

[@russell6777]

@@JonathanCodes-ol1cm no room for a home gym unfortunately, plus why should leave a well equipped gym because of other people can’ function without looking at phone every other minute 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@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]

[@peterjohnson8935]

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

RIGHT there with you. 55 in couple months. But feel and act 30!

[@Thouxanbanquincy]

Im 23 but I agree, too many people spending more time on their phones than putting in work. I only use my phone as a timer in between sets when I workout

[@russell6777]

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. 💪🏻😎👊

[@Sidd1481]

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.@@Sidd1481

[@zeus-io3hn]

This is the best vid to ever describe body building. In the 70's all we could see prime muscle, slick, and portions. now, we see bulk with big belly mostly.

[@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

[@David-lx4yb]

I need EarPods now to drown out the “club style” music blaring over the gym speakers. And I workout at a pretty hardcore gym. Nothing is better for workouts than Rammstein!

[@grindhouserob]

*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.

[@ryanleclaire3948]

What. An. Edit. Realllyy gets the testosterone flowing! This is what the sport is all about.

[@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

[@freddyrandanella7758]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! 💪

[@KongMotivation]

Glad you liked it! Love the support Fred ❤

[@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…

[@mikemarsh7399]

Went there in 77. I was so stoked to be there and see those guys. It was REAL!

[@spartancm68]

Old school inspires me way more than whatever is going on today.

[@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.

[@DonNoDraper]

[@jimlubeskie4312]

[@RichS.74yroldbodybuilder]

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.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@onazram1]

Those were the best days of BB, and the personalities were fantastic, all of them... What a time!

[@chadkirby7492]

I wasn’t there for the 70’s but I was a member of a Gold’s in Murfreesboro TN and also a gym call Southeastern which is now a well known gym called Olympus in the 90’s and all I can say is I’m so thankful for that time. It was still a lot like this as far as guys just going as hard and as heavy as they could. It was nothing to see 4 and 5 plate DEEP squats, 1000lb leg presses, to say nothing of upper body stuff on a daily basis. Now you rarely see squats with 315 and if you do it’s guys not going nearly as deep. It was an awesome time to be a lifter. I never competed, I just loved pushing my body to its limits. I met friends who I rarely see now but think about a lot. Unfortunately my mind don’t even remember many of their names. The 90’s was definitely the second coming of the golden age. I wish I could’ve experienced this era but so glad I at least experienced mine.

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!!!

Not to forget your extreme strength: doing squats with an amazing weight of 20 kilogram and a bench press with 8 kilos.

[@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.

Whether is the current state of mental health among the 19 to 24 hear old crowd (according to the APA), or the disconnection between people on a regular basis, or the toxicity of people filming others in gyms just to ridicule them publicly, there is hardly any argument to support that social media has improved anything in our lives.
