Nice documentary. Worth the watch.
Thanks for posting that, good watch.
Pretty interesting.
That was awesome!
I read his book, “The Education of a Bodybuilder” several times as a teen, and always loved his telling of his AWOL adventure.
Wait, you have to give them your time piece in order to see this documentary?
That was most definitely awesome and interesting, as well as motivational.
I’m gonna go hit a new pr now
So, was bodybuilding more of a means to an end and not so much a passion for lifting?

Did the chicken come before the egg?
He won a body building show while eating a less than adequate diet, having hardly any exercise equipment, creating his own exercises/program, doing excessive amounts of cardio and hardly sleeping. Yep legendary and pretty much a freak. Have to admire him for it though.

I always wanted to see video of him and his friends driving into the countryside and drinking beer and roasting meat and just squatting for hours.

Exactly. Now you have 145lbs grown men who think if they do cardio on an empty stomach they can’t get big, or if they eat carbs before bed they will get fat, or they can’t workout unless they have all these fancy supplements.
Hard work > everything else
^^ Ha, that’s a good way of putting it.
Yeah, that’s why I’d be happier if more people had pics in their profile just so when some guy asks if walking 45 minutes a day will cause catabolism or if fruit will ruin his physique we can just look at the pic and tell the guy to not worry about anything.
I find I like old school pics of the late 60’s and early 70’s of when Arnold got on the scene. I found a ton of pics from that era. Pure classics.

I remember someone writing a letter to Muscle & Fitness some time back in the 90s and he said how much he loved seeing the old pics of Gold’s Gym in Venice and how he thought (me too) that the bodybuilders looked much better back then compared to the huge vascular behemoths of today.
The editor (whoever the fuck the moron was) replied with “Better? You mean ‘fat’”?"
That pissed me right off.

Oh yeah they totally looked better. I am still of course watching the Mr O this weekend but if I had to pick between then and now. I would pick the look of then. I love the posing of Ed Corney and Frank Zane, Serge Nubret.
I mean I don’t even really like the bodybuilders of the 70s in competition form…I prefer them like Arnold there in the gym in the off-season.
