Larry Scott's Comeback after 13 Year Hiatus

[@richardyoung1890]

I had my Dad take me to see the first Olympia at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.The crowd was electric and when Larry came out the crowd went wild!So all you heard was Larry,Larry over and over!I was 13 years old and remember it like it was yesterday.I met Larry at a convention and we talked about that Olympia.Larry was in his late 60s and still had an impressive arm.I stayed in touch with him and we met at several occasions when I travelled to Utah.He was the most gracious human being that I ever met!He had a beautiful wife and I understand him concentrating on his marriage.I didn’t see him towards the end.I miss the long phone calls where he offered his time always and gave me great training advice.I really had the honor of meeting and befriending my boyhood Idol!Larry the Legend RIP.

[@Stoirelius]

Fun fact: Here in Brazil we still call it the "Scott curl".

[@LuciTulcea]

Also in Romania: Scott bench.

[@carpediem6568]

Thanks for mention that. Don't Brazilians refer to aerobics or cardio as "Coopering"?

[@timpeacock9820]

I had the honor of getting to know this great man and get some amazing advice from him. He was amazing

[@KeeperOfProphecies]

Larry Scott's biceps are some of the best ever.

[@spiderman4440]

Facts!

[@ianbenn9545]

spider man Maybe so! But still he had to put in the hard yards! You don't look like that by just taking the gear! Blady hard work still has to follow! Not so?

[@xivwords5448]

KeeperOfProphecies lee priest that would be tough

[@ribbone1975]

KeeperOfProphecies got that nice short muscle like lee priest

I saw him guest pose in the mid 70's at an IFBB contest. He probably weighed about 185 lbs at the time but he was impressive. As great as his arms were, his shoulders were just as good if not better. After the show I bought his workout manuals and asked him to autograph them. Super nice guy.

[@johndouglas7787]

I saw Larry Scott in person at the 2003 or 2004 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas. We were standing in line at a restaurant in one of the casinos. Looked just like a regular guy. Must have been in his mid sixties. It was awesome seeing one of my idols from my youth. Now I am approaching his age then and now I look just like a regular guy. Need to start back to the gym again. Nick's videos will help inspire me to return. Never to old to improve.

[@extrasmack]

I agree on Larry Scott having some of the best arms of all time and definitely the best in his era. For me it is a combination of his full sweeping muscle bellies coupled with a near perfect tricep to bicep to forearm symmetry. Shame he's no longer among us. R.I.P. Great vid Nick.

[@shanebeaudrot777]

I didn't know he passed away. He was my all time favorite back in the early 80's when I started lifting. I started out as a kid with 12" biceps and ended after a illness at age 37 with 19.25 " biceps. I'm 51 now and haven't trained since and out of curiosity, my biceps are 17" still today. Better than a lot of x pros that use to juice. I almost died from gall bladder disease. Had 2 open exploritory surgeries and 5 ERCP's through my throat. My abs today are cut and tied to hell and back. I have surgical hernias across my gut. And I feel guilty every day for not training but I just can't muster the fortitude to return. Point being, stay natural. My Gaines have stayed with me through out the years, especially after using Larry's training methods. Good health to all of you.

[@RabboniInDaBronx]

Larry Scott was one of my favorite bodybuilders and bodybuilding writers. As a kid reading his articles I was often impressed with life skills applications including that of self-esteem. One particular article he wrote about how he took a year off without doing any weight training. He wrote that during that time he found out who his real friends were as he decreased in impressive size and and physique. His fake friends that were just riding on his spotlighted coattail abandoned him. He wrote about how he enjoyed his small circle of genuine friends, but more importantly how he was happy being himself and not because of the aesthetics of his body. Thank you Nick for posting this on Larry Scott, I usually don’t post comments, but I want you to know that I always look forward to seeing what you have posted. Greetings from the boogie down South Bronx.

[@daleeagan6538]

I bought from Larry Scott a preacher bench, lat pulldown ,twin pedestal bench, hanging rings and tricep bar. All of which are top quality. Most compfortable preacher bench ever, hands down the best.

[@KingsWorld2015]

Larry the Legend. He was and always will be.

[@billavramidis2369]

Nick's Strength and Comebacks

[@lloydkline6946]

Larry scott reason to retire no money in bodybuilding and hurt his marriage to first wife, had he not retire him and Sergio Olivia would been a real battle

[@jvsalvato82]

that last picture of Larry Scott as an older man flexing was unbelievable. his arm development was just sick. would put alot of 20-30 year olds to shame. great video 💪

[@jerrybyfield737]

The reason that he didn't place higher when he made his comeback was that he didn't want to use all of the drugs that the other competitors were taking at the time. He still stuck to the Rheo Blair protein with half and half. He did take some drugs but very minimal, especially with comparison to what is taken today. One of my bodybuilding heroes for sure. That diet from the 1960's is very similar to today's keto diet. Vince was way ahead of his time.

[@straty01]

He was on the cover of a muscle and fitness magazine in the 1990's and still looked good. Thanks for uploading, great stuff

[@AHaber007]

I think without your Video i would have never realised that Larry Scott had such a nice physique. Thank you very much!

[@rob22849]

Elias Krieger wow that was gay and unnecessary

[@madbear3512]

Robert Woodard The there hot what can we say

[@paulhupp4293]

Wow @ that last pic, with Larry in his 60's or even 70's! Larry's arms ARE STILL HUGE!!! I called Larry up in 1986 to ask him some questions about the "Scott Curl", he owned his own gym in Salt Lake City at that time (and where I reached him by telephone). Larry was SUPER nice, very low key and humble; and answered all of the questions I asked of him about the Preacher Curl. This was for a college class. Great guy.

[@EdMoneyHand]

Paul Hupp Nice story. what did he say in regards to the Scott curl? cheers

[@АлексейЛесуков-ч3ь]

I love Larry Scott, rest in peace!

[@blueband8114]

The arm development in the last pic, for an old guy is really impressive.

[@larryjohnson7154]

He actually had narrow shoulders (clavicles). Superior delt development hid this. Pretty amazing.

[@GTLees]

Good video Nick! The legendary arms of Larry Scott, yes sir. Even in that last photo the original Mr. O. still had the guns.

[@bc1622]

I was lucky enough to meet him at the 2006 Olympia. Great guy and inspiration.

[@jaz_ok]

In an interview he said he retired because he saw there were new upcoming bodybuilders eg Sergio and he didn't think he could compete against them so he retired on a high note , he was one of my favorites of the old old school

[@shakekr1750]

Love that poster at the end with him and Sergio in the background. Larry Scott+Sergio Oliver=G.O.A.T

[@copegrizz3923]

How is hedge doing?

[@amv7m]

One of my favs aesthetically. Great arms (obviously)

[@approachshail]

as usual u r great in bringing back old school bodybuilder s

[@pdMAGaus]

You're content is just completely unrivalled man. Appreciation comment 👏

[@flintrock8433]

In his prime Scott was awesome looking. One of the all time best.

[@JoseRamos-kd9ig]

R.I.P. Larry Scott 😞

[@thomass1891]

Interesting to also note that Larry Scott had narrow clavicles but that did not stop him from becoming MR Olympia. He prioritized working the lats and shoulders to create the V taper that he naturally did not have

[@MrDan957]

A truly outstanding man

[@userdoesnotexist600]

One of the few guys that looked good with a long biceps head

[@eliaskrieger142]

Full long bicep head is best bicep head

[@niksarass]

Always better too long than too short, and same for triceps

[@shanealanhaag]

Agreed. His arms looked even better when he came back. No one else maintained their physique as consistently through the decades as Scott. Also impressive considering for over 2 years after his last Olympia he didn't even train and lost most of his gains.

[@russelllomando8460]

He was one of the best...

[@smokingjoe8039]

People talk about Larry's biceps and they were fantastic but triceps make up 3/4 of the arms and Larry also had fantastic triceps and forearms. People always seem to overlook the triceps for some strange reason but if u want big arms then work on them triceps. I salute you Larry fantastic arms way ahead of his time.

[@thatguy1919]

Another great video by a great KZbinr great job nick!

[@shovelhead4558]

Great bodybuilder I purchased his arm workout book

[@calvincooley1074]

Watched Larry Scott speak at a seminar at the Arnold Classic 1992.

[@ericscott3040]

Great video bro!!!!!

[@varmamaharaj2241]

Welcome to the " first one thousand views squad " great upload NICK!

[@chaoticdays]

This is how a bodybuilder should look like

[@ActuallyElectrified]

PLEASE Do a video on your opinion of Jason Genova's physique over the years and what you think of him as a bodybuilder and or power lifter

[@ianbenn9545]

One of my all time greats alongside Arnie, Reg Park ( whom I personally knew) & Freddy Ortiz.

[@VIP-rp3oq]

Was driving through venice beach area in about 1995 and he walked across the street. I said ti my brother shit that larry Scott. He loojed exactly as the mags polo shirt ex massive arms. Sad how he died.

[@jld3342ilsd]

Great video!

[@cashcowslave8001]

Legend

[@thegoat328]

The golden boy of bodybuilding

[@nigelstevens6218]

Amazing one of my favorites

[@Sldumas1983]

Man he was a beast

[@MrTuberguber]

He worked out in Sansabelt slacks. Now that's style.

[@g.r.1394]

Best Arm Ever!!

[@miguelroman4294]

I really want bodybuilding to go back to this type of build for the mass monster's! no gut straight to the cut. a vacuum will always beat the distended gut. may he rest in peace. hey Nick how's hedge doing? I hope he gets better so we can all see him squat and bench 600lbs again! thumb's up for hedge. 💪😠💪

[@michaeldougherty7476]

Excuse me Nick. But 41 is very young....😏💪 lol

[@booty121212]

Yeab bbing can be a very safe sport if u arent training like a dumbass and abusing ure body. dexter is a great example. Unlike football or boxing where there is wear and tear and trauma to the body.

[@xivwords5448]

Michael Dougherty I know in 39 in 3 years I’ll be 40

[@billschmidt4192]

I have his Arms booklet. He signed it twice.

[@bilvis48]

Best Biceps Ever...even Arnies

[@lairdriver]

This man had a beautiful physique.

[@josephabrams4002]

His arms were amazing!! Can you imagine what they would look like with today's training techniques and regimens?

[@jesuguru2394]

...and "supplements"

[@josephabrams4002]

Stacey Hopkins sad to say, but yeah, that's exactly what I meant :-)

[@Bayshuck]

They would look no better. Plus the rest of his physique would look worse. The extra useless bulk the gh etc gave him would in fact make his arms look smaller.

[@mnsusa]

Probably not better since his training techniques worked much better that today's nonsense.

[@gainchasers7769]

Guys got some guns on him gotta love having big arms 💪

[@THUNDERGODPRO]

Larry the legend.

[@RajaKumar-yx8ct]

Larry Scott is the best body workout

[@thejoeycage]

I would of loved to see Larry compete in the 70s against Arnold and serge

[@aran125]

RIP Larry, didn’t know he passed away.

[@DDB-91]

How's hedge Nick? Hope he's ok bro.

[@arshbhullar3093]

he’s dead

[@T4Gxoxo]

Hench Crustacean Still benching 400 I assume

[@petelillo186]

Larry was an all-time great!

[@Saltynutz333]

At the video mark 1:40 Vince - the guru looks like he is wearing an Apple iWatch on his wrist. 🤨

[@PeakBagger999]

An all-time great!

[@GamingMotivation]

one of the best biceps peak .. the scot bench one of the greatest exercise

[@dredfunn]

Both Larry and Steve Reeves are my favorite to draw

[@ryanturner8577]

Do his forearm workouts. I have been. They're insane

[@DavidWarrenMusic]

His physique was awesome. Jacked but still looks like a human being

[@inz3784]

Please make a video about Samir Bannout.

[@barrypapworth9495]

Spot on as always man. Hope hedge is doing OK. Mark Wahlberg could play him In a movie

[@eddieking2976]

Love the classic look. Not this bloated gut crap today.

[@Polandsyndromebodybuilding]

His shoulder development was good too

[@stitcha123]

the huge has an awesome classic physique

[@TS-bu2kq]

With the Arnold classic coming up, I think a great video would be to go over the Arnold Strongman classic. Zydrunas Savickas has 8 wins out of the 16 annual events (I believe he skipped 3 events). He also had 2 second places and 2 third places.

[@xivwords5448]

He reminds me of heath superior muscles with narrow frame

[@bobbystanley8580]

His arms are beautiful!

[@mrpunisher7495]

R.i.p sir 🙏

[@michealwest9362]

Good stuff kid.

[@fatehfini5856]

Larry Scott had an underrated physique

[@mikemike7345]

Sergio was in the 1972 Olympia

[@davidwicklin9943]

I wonder how Larry Scott would have done head-to-head against Sergio or a very young Arnold in 1967-1968? With those arms and nobody having huge legs in those days he may have won! Think about it because at the same time Frank Zane came along and beat Arnold in 1968 in Miami, right? Bob Gajda "beat" Sergio for AAU Mr. America in 1966 and Scott did beat Sergio in 1966 as well. The possibilities.

[@stevegeorge6880]

BodybuildingPassion Wick Sergio was much better in 1967 - more complete, better condition - and the consensus is that Scott was gifted the win in 1966 but no one complained because he was very good, very respected, and had announced his retirement. He could have kept going and done well, but he left at just the right time to go out on top.

[@henrirousseau9541]

Vince Gironda --- soft "G" --- pronounced like a "J". Also, preacher bench was called 'preacher bench' long before Scott's name got appended to it.

[@nagone11]

An awesome physique for his day.

[@dannygrant639]

That last picture of Larry Scott looks like a Buff Ronald Regan

[@ballroomdru]

Hedgehog update please. And Larry Scott was the man in the 60's.

[@johndouglas7787]

Hope Hedge is getting better.

[@rushc5]

1:09 - Is this where Marty McFly first met Doc Brown? That part of the movie was never really stated.

[@wtfisthis7795]

His arms look like bread loaves in the thumbnail

[@lorcnhq5281]

Could Chris Hemsworth (Thor) been a bodybuilder?

[@jimwalker7569]

LorcnHQ No.

[@willkelly9941]

No

[@ar15f117]

Larry had the fullest biceps in bodybuilding history.

[@arnoldarnoldr5114]

Scott's arms were amazing! In competition, he always seemed to come in smooth.

[@arame29]

Thank you, Nick. Larry Scott was one of my favorites, also. To travel from Utah to NY for the paltry sum of $1,000.00 showed dedicattion. However, I think Scott's decision to bow out after 2 Mr. O's had as much to do with his being prophetic. Sergio was on the scene in 67 then Arnold in 68. Giving away a lot of height and weight.

[@forsmaneino]

So the Scott machine is most likely named after Larry?

[@oldermuscleguy]

✌️🏆💪🏆💪 ..I had his booklets on training 🎰 total.. Chest Back Shoulders Arms Legs Bulking up and cutting up .

[@peteralanturner9296]

I agree Scott was one of the best w/better arms than Arnold & a classic body.

[@Rach-N-RobTV]

I wonder. During your weight conversions, could you possibly add the UK system of Stones and Pounds? For example, there are 14lbs to a Stone and I weigh 12st 2lbs which is 170lbs or ?kgs

[@no-yj2cf]

how tf are his arms so perfect?
