Stumbled upon this footage from the 1975 Mr. America contest. The commentator says "the athletes are not allowed to use cosmetics or oil in their presentation" (referring to tanning oils, I assume.) Was this the policy for all competitions back then? When did athletes start oiling up?

No tanning oils at old competitions?

By cosmetics he probably means implants, and the oil i'm guessing is seo?

I hope not, since they didn't have synthol until the 90s.Originally Posted by Kiwi_

No, not implants. And not SEO.Originally Posted by Kiwi_
It was very common in earlier amateur competitions in the AAU and even the NPC to not allow oil in the prejudging. I was in one AAU show in the 1980s where it wasn't allowed in the judging but it was okay at the finals. Same thing with one of the NPC shows. Of course many guys claimed to have dry skin so they used Nivea creme to "rehydrate the skin."
In the book of Pumping Iron it talks about oil not being allowed at the judging of the Mr. Universe.

Some pretty cool posing vids in there:
Guy is shredded as ****.
Probably been said a thousand times, but this style of posing is much more pleasing to watch and the type of physiques are much more pleasing to the eye. I wish the sport had gone further this way.

dark tanning oils were for homos back then. it wasn't accepted. it was also considered performance enhancement at the time. As the sport progressed we realized the importance of a proper tan and glow. That is all.

Really? Wow, Nivea Creme is some greasy chit. I used some as an aftershave for a little while and my face exploded with acne.Originally Posted by mrusa85

Well, actually it was the class in the Continental USA and when I tried to abbreviate it, well, it didn't look too cool as a username, so I shortened it a bit...Originally Posted by MrSilverback

I like how they are posing on a small platform - the bodybuilders are literally "put up on a pedestal". Posing routines have become more entertaining as the men use up more of the stage area walking back and forth, but having the platform adds a touch of class to the event.
