Sergio Oliva
Prob the closets physique to Arnolds IMO
he kinda looks like a bigger michael jordan in the second one. and a little kobe-escque in the first
Sergio looked great and won the Olympia 3 years in a row until Arnold's reign from '70-'75 beating Sergio in '72
amazing the guy was Phenominal looking
huge lats
i think he had his hands full with serge nubret in some years as well... JMO
oliva's narrow waist .. and that upper body ..wow the combo makes for quite an impressive physique!
Imagine what he would've looked like competing with todays pros
Looks good.
bump
Yeah i noticed his avitar too, i'm down for abit of that!
Really big arms and lats!
small waist!
phenomenol...
unbelievable build. fore arms are fVckn insane they make his hands look abnormal like they dont belong on his body haha
awesome! i think him, arnie and zane had the best physiques imho
^^^ agreed
yeah amazing physique i still think he beat arnold in 72 i watched it a few times and hes heads above everyone but i spose he wasnt as marketable as arnold he had the goods personality wise
defiently love these physiques over modern fat GH bellied lego block olympians.
love the waist aswell.
huge at that time, if he had of been around today he would be massive
yeah agreed the best genetics ever i think those lats are still the best today i think
Oliva was a genetic monster. His son bodybuilds now aswell!
yeah i have seen his son sergio jr he doesnt have those amazing genetics unfortunately tiny waist and massive lats
that guy would still be a pro by today's standards
Sergio is like a thicker grainier version of arnold, blokes like sergio could probly have 22 inch guns without even using gear!!!
I cant agree with people who say these oldies look better than todays bb's, i mean yeah they are very inspiring and ide kill to look like them, but cutler this year at the O was somthing else!!!
....
His Forearms are huge.
Agreed, his skelital structure is covered by pounds and pounds of muscle. Lol! Todays bb's and yester years are in a completly diffrent class.IMO... Due to years of research in diet and physiological sciences. Suplementation by itself has created a huge diffrence in the nutrition between the two eras. I'm shure if he was to compete now day Big Lou would give him a run for his money. He is the only old school bb that I can think of that has tried sum of the new science of modern bbing. Of course that's just my .o2
Arnold is still selling magazines, that's pretty cool over 30 years later.
The old school pro bb's looked SOOO much better than they do now.
Yeah I got to agress with wormwood...the small waist huge chest and huge arms look better to me, dont really like the bulged out belly look but to each his own.
Which God? LOL!!! The bb'ers of old look more godlike than today's monsters. If I'm not mistaken the original intention of bbing was to look like the Greek sculptures of gods and heroes, right?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the monster since I'm a big guy myself, but aesthetically, the old timers are better built, IMO.
definitely the older look is better than today's bodybuilding...
It's pretty amazing how the old bodybuilders kept their waists so slim then get the perfect V shape going from the hips up....
