Serge should have beaten Lou in 1995

[BartPimpson]

Lou has better legs and a little more mass, but nothing else on Serge that I can see.

[flangmasterj]

'1975'.

Could have gone either way. I liked Lou's proportions and balance compared to Serge's but Serge was polished, detailed and could pose.

1st was Arnold, Serge was 2nd, 3rd was Lou.

[beefyfan]

For an Italian, Lou had a pretty big dick.

[satoups]

I believed at times he should have beaten the oak himself.

Oh right, he did beat Lou!

Carry on.

Bart check out this film, it has the results in it, pretty good for bodybuilders. It's called "Pumping Iron."

agreed. I would have Lou ahead, but either way is fine.

Sidenote - dang, Arnold is pwning them. Like i already know from watching Pumping Iron, but even these pics are impressive. Arnold really won on conditioning, and he had some things where they were kinda missing on the other guys (calves, for example). His christmas tree is in full effect, and strong glute ham tie-ins. I know they weren't judged so much back in the day, but it's definitely gotta sit well with the judges when the other guys are sorta flat there in comparison to Arnold's man-booty, lol. You can tell it's muscle, too. Not to mention his quad separation being the most dominant on stage there. Such a dominant victory.

[mike8190]

Lol at arnold pacing in the background.

And his quads look good in that front relaxed. I like the old version of the front and rear relaxed, now a days it doesn't in any way reflect "relaxed" lol. In fact I think it looks pretty stupid half the time, especially when guys like branch have their arms parallel to the ground to create an "illusion"

[detrimental]

lol, arnold's lats

always blow me away, so damn low

[Riflemancho]

Those 3 guys had amazing genetics. And then i think of Sergio Oliva who had even better.
What is this sorcery?

[spamy]

Arnold himself said that Lou, with the right mindset, could've beaten him. Lou was probably the most genetically gifted bber of the 70s.

[JanesLastResort]

I always preferred Lou over Arnold, but i don't see how he could have ever beaten Arnold even with a better mindset (wich actually he could've had in his early 20's when he turned pro, for all we know).

Bigger and better proportions than Arnold, his disadvantages were his conditioning and softer personality.

[trankwil]

haha what did lou compete at 9% BF?

[JanesLastResort]

What i meant was he would have never beaten arnold because they only fought twice at the olympia and arnold retired until 1980. I do think that lou would have legitimately overcome arnold if they both competed until say 77-78 of course, but that's a strong "if".

Haha, this thread is so f*cked, I made it while editing css and I literally did not think about anything.

Not sure about that really, Arnold still had room to grow... I believe his classic line "So he comes in big, well I just get bigger" or something along the lines of. The year before in '74 Arnold was a beast, had he have prepped and worked properly for '75 he could've been improved. Who knows how high the doses would've gone had he continued to compete against a threat like Lou; as said, he already still had much potential for growth and development.
