Older generation bodybuilders look so much better than the new generation

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

Completely- they’re aesthetic instead of freakish. They look healthy. A lot of modern dudes look like chemistry experiments with one foot in the grave

[@thedon9670]

100%

[@AveSicarius]

​@@BGeezy4sheezy I mean the old guard were still lab experiments, just with a different aim entirely. The old methodology of bodybuilding wss proportion, symmetry, and trying to match the aesthetic of the Adonis from Greek art, among other cultures, which depicts a very well proportioned man of Herculean scale. The modern methodology is that of the mass monster, being as big as possible to overshadow the competition around them. They also might have looked healthier, but the older generations were still on crazy amounts of gear and the lifestyle was still unhealthy. Yeah, they didn't have some of the issues we see in the modern era, like HGH gut or the same degree of organ growth, but it wasn't exactly good for longevity, and most of those bodybuilders ended up with pretty serious long-term health issues. I too prefer the old aesthetic over the modern one because it looks more human, but I honestly wouldn't want that physique either, though it is impressive to look at.

[@camila.sweetlipz]

Due to his genes, his melanin, his divine, African roots. ● Sergio Oliva was a Black man from Cuba. 🇨🇺 FUN FACT ● There's more Black people in Latino América than in the USA. The African diaspora started with the first exodus of Israelites, the real Jews, 722 BCE. Most Latinos are of Indigenous and African ethnicity, however the US government labeled us Hispanics to hide our roots and make the White population appear bigger in numbers. Racism among Latinos comes from post-colonial trauma, media propaganda, catholicism, colorism, elitism. Younger generations are restoring our cultures and true history, we created 2 of the 6 original human civilizations. We're part of the scattered tribes of Israel.

I used to see Sergio all the time at World’s Gym on the north side of Chicago. He was a Chicago cop. Really nice guy with infectious smile. I’d ask him for a few tips once in a while and he was always helpful.

Those long muscles make it very hard to produce peaks, but if you can get that developed with the long muscles, you become one of the biggest and the best.

[@Trenuj_z_Jackiem]

Long biceps are way nicer than those peaky skinny biceps. If the entire body is better with longer Muscle bellies why glorify the short?

[@Adler_GGG]

Arnolds biceps were way nicer looking peaks matter.

[@Blacksword404]

The peaks make arms look better. But longer muscles give you more muscle to grow. Mine are long. It's harder for me to get a good peak. To me my arms used to look normal but everybody else would comment on how huge my arms were. But they didn't look that way to me. But it's there when you measure them.

[@grafxdesigner93]

The only and only legendary Sergio Oliva. I remember seeing him in BodyBuilding magazine growing up as a kid in the 70s and 80s.

[@Lsteezy]

When i was youngsta. He is used to come by a park i used to hangout n play basketball in chicago. Sergio rollin up in his convertable Rolls Royce was a cool thing to see as a youngsta. Always hung out n talked with everyone in the neighborhood. Truly Great Man that was always smilin n putin smiles on everyones face. Absolute Legend Worldwide & Defntly at GB (GreenBriar) Park in Chitwn👊🏼.

[@JossyDax-ts7pq]

I just discovered him today. I am not that obsessed with bodybuilding stuff but when I saw him i another video even before this video, I was amazed saying in my heart something like "Is this even possible ? I mean hus chest and his arm, triceps" I am being interested in bodybuilding now.

The legend

[@khaled3433]

His legendary pose with both his arms in the air, hands closed, wrists facing each other...so legendary that they made it in a legendary anime, the character was based on sergio, his name was Biscuit "Mr unchained" Oliva

[@haydenspence6952]

Oliva not only posessed long muscles but his joints were small enough to create an almost unbelievable physique.his wrist looks tiny compared to the forearm muscle,his waiste slim makes his upper body look even bigger.and it goes on like that all over olivas physique,just a great canvas for the sport of body sculpting

[@ItsTeeAyy]

It's interesting with the wrist factor though as I feel like my wrists have always been abnormally small/thin.. which I wondered if developing the forearm muscles would gradually help the wrists in the long run ect.. I always like to cook and do stuff that would naturally condition my form ect.. using a whisk frequently is surprisingly a slight workout 😅 I'd like to work more on grip strength though and even just hanging. Holding on to a monkey or pull-up bar for as long as you can ect...

[@haydenspence6952]

@@ItsTeeAyy if your born with smaller sized joints wrist,waist,ankles etc...this can make your muscles appear bigger so it's not a bad thing unless you are more concerned with out right strength potential then bigger joints might be an advantage?

[@salilphansekar9557]

Did he used steroids......just asking

[@JMrealgamer]

@@salilphansekar9557 no one will admit to it. So you have to see for yourself. If you’ve been training for any length of time you’ll know what’s realistically possible on your own and not using any enhancements. There are those that used to use enhancements like Greg Doucette and so he knows what’s up when he sees it. He’s also a coach and kinesiologist which helps him tell by eye who is on stuff and who isn’t: I get educated on the subject from him. If you’re serious about knowing this I’d watch his stuff. In the body building world they make it to where you’d have to be on stuff to get really big. It’s almost encouraged to do it. Unless you are really genetically gifted like Sergio and few others. Leroy Colbert was all natural and was in the game long before Arnold Swartz. Check him out too. I hope this helps you. 👍🏽
