Not trying to instigate an argument but yes, you are trying to argue. Your hate for Sergio has been made obvious.

I don't hate Sergio... why is it that if you ever make a critical comment of a bodybuilder on this forum, you are deemed a hater? Get off my back TH.

[Soforak]

He needs to bring up his ''lower lats'' ...

notsrs.

Oh c'mon....your history of posts regarding him and Yates makes it obvious you are not fond of either of them. Just be honest.

Great clip. Sergio over Arnold that year. Robbed!!!

Are you aware of how hypocritical you sound? You bash anything that is Arnold related, yet you call me a hater because I made a comment that Sergio's condition wasn't great... So what are you to Arnold then? The greatest hater to have ever lived?

Jesus f*cking christ man, grow up and get off my back. Your creepy stalking is getting old.

Don't play the innocent victim. You stir stuff in this forum nonstop.
I am not an Arnold hater. He was great for the sport. Two things he was not......1980 Mr. O winner and better than Sergio. Politics helped Arnold out quite a bit. Cannot argue that fact.

DavisForman, Sergio is not amused

LOL. That pic is boss! He is not amused in the least!

Coming from the guy who stirred it up in this thread? Biggest hypocrite on the forum...

And yes, you are an Arnold hater, and it's based on your own logic. You criticized him, so I guess you hate him. Because that's all I did regarding Sergio and apparently that makes me a hater. Unless of course you have a double standard.

[Glenn Gould]

Looks just like Vic Richards! only with better conditioning and shape

[detrimental]

lolololol

I'd almost give you the benefit of the doubt on Sergio, but Sergio carried what seemed to be more mass because he was considerably less shredded. Just look at their backs, Arnold is destroying him. You can see it even more in the pictures... And let's face it, Sergio never came close to Arnold's '74.

And I'm a huge Sergio fan, genetic freak

[Unbiasedfan]

Robbed!!!

Not robbed.

I have never seen this pic before. Thanks.

Arnold in 74,no different from any other year-still wide waisted and thin thighed.Arnold has poor lats,they disappear when he raises his arms in a rear double biceps.Sergio killed him.
As to relative size,Sergio did not seem to have more mass,he of course did have more mass,and that on a much smaller frame.His arms were larger too,again on a smaller man,with a waist a good 6" smaller.Its all in the genes and nobody comes close to Sergio genetically.As to the bull**** about his condition,see filmed footage of him from the '69 Olympia,in his usual excellent shape for his Olympias.Good footage is hard to find but its there.
"In Essen ('72) Sergio was stupendous,flawless,I was ready to admit defeat"-Arnold.Weider had other ideas however!

Posting two pics of Sergio,one from around 1979 and the other after the 1984 Olympia,both not in anything like contest shape really does nothing for your argument re his conditioning.

[loutfi]

he always had awesome arms.
but actually this one upper in black and white looks fake.

[Ajthemeso]

nice pics iceman! he had just the right formula of size and shape! a true titan of his time.

[loutfi]

i think even today in terms of arm size ifbb pro of today will have hard time with him.

[kingofthailand]

Like a lot of bodybuilders Sergio looked so much better live on stage. I don't think any pics really do him justice IMO

[ROMMYromboid]

I'm not trying to instigate an argument here, but his contest condition there is what some pros offseason condition is.

Typical Forman. The 22 year old bodybuilding expert has spoken once again. Sergio looks in great shape in these pictures. Politics stopped him beating Arnold that year.

RIP 'The Myth'

[peteyyytran]

iceman your link didn't work for me bro! anyways the myth had some insane arms... dem genetics man

[gskhalsa]

Thanks Iceman! The Myth was awesome.

Oh what a ****ing surprise. Even when he states he's not trying to instigate an argument you have to pipe up and have a go.

You're an ******* mate.

I had to remove the pics. I'll post them on here as soon as I have time.

[Iceman1981]

I've never seen this pic. Thanks.

[DavisForman]

Great pics guys.

The Myth will be missed.

[Natural_O]

It is comical to be honest some of the heat he gets.....especially from the Arnold huggers. If you can honestly piss and moan about that physique then you are a hater....plain and simple. Greatest genetics of all-time. Sergio was also better than Arnold in my book. It's a shame he didn't have Weider all over him like Arnold did.

I agree with you 100%! This is exactly what is wrong with bodybuilding today. People who are new to the sport and don't really know what BODYBUILDING is all about think it's conditioning, conditioning and more conditioning. So Sergio isn't shredded in that video. Are you kidding me???? Do you not see how incredible and unbelievable he looks? That's one of the best bodybuilders in the history of the sport! His structure, his muscle mass, his shape. His arms look bigger than his head and one of his thighs is the same size as his waist. Show me anyone else who can equal his size and shape and proportion! And some of your are criticizing him because he's not ripped enough?? OMG, get a clue. Seriously! Bodybuilding is about Size, Shape, Proportion and Definition. It's NOT, NOT, NOT about ass cheek striations. Damn, give The Myth the respect he deserves. So what, he's not shredded like the 2012 competitors are. This was from 1972 and, IMO, he looks better than 90% of the bodybuilders competing today! Rant over..
