1980 Mr. Olympia Line Up



I wish Zane had more mass during this contest, cause outside of that, he looked great. Mentzer looked great as well. Arnold's delts definitely were a weakness, but from other pics of the contest that I saw, he was the clear winner.

He finished 5th and Frank 3rd at that contest? wow wtf.

Yeah, imo he should've won or at least been in second. He was tied with Boyer Coe for 4th, but they gave him 5th. 1980 and 1981 had some bad judging.

How can it not be obvious it was fixed lmao

Roger Walker looked really good too, IMO he should've been in the top 3 with Arnold and Dickerson. I think Zane, Arnie, Walker and Dickerson were all the best bodybuilders on stage, though for different reasons.

Shawn should've won without a doubt. I wish physique's like his and 93 Wheeler were more precedent during the later 90's

True that lol, no way a competitor with no seperation in his legs should have become a Mr. O

Walker looked good, but his delts were lacking, like Arnold's. I think Mentzer and Dickerson were the most complete, if Zane had more mass he would've been the clear winner imo.

Completely disagree. Bodybuilding progressed naturally as it should and always would have, from Haney to Dorian to Ronnie and Jay, Dexter and now Phil.

The usual argument is that bigger is not better, I get that. But the top physiques since the 70's and 80's are bigger AND better IMO.

Dorian brought conditioning to a next level, not to mention mass as well.

Oh I agree without a doubt that Arnold should have won, its clear in so many pics, the one I posted was really more for showing old school competitors than it was to show the winner of Mr. Olympia 1980.

[Polsey]

I have no personal preference over any time period. There are just certain physiques I like more than others.

[trulyhuge1]

He did look great, thats for sure.

People forget about Padilla........he was a stud! Reminds me a lot of Flex Lewis for some reason. Short and just BUILT!!!

Very cool pic.....one of the best I've seen

Stealing this one

Nope.

It only gets better, at least for female bodybuilding.

The 1980 Ms. Olympia competitors are by today's female bodybuilder standards are figure competitors. Female bodybuilding had a gradual evolution from 1980-1996. Bev Francis started that evolution in 1984 with her muscular form, and continued with Lenda Murray.

However I don't think real female bodybuilding started until Kim Chizevsky. She changed everything because physique was harder and denser than any female bodybuilder before her. Her physique encourage other fbbs to have more of the dense and cut form fbbs have today. We wouldn't have Iris Kyle or Debi Laszewski today if it wasn't for Kim Chizesky.

Arnold stands out. Clear winner. I don't see a reason why he shouldn't have won. Mentzer was narrow, with gut, weak chest. But he deserved to be 3rd or 4th.

[karlball]

I came into this sport in 1981 so I'm old school and much prefer the 70's and 80's bodybuilders shape - a time when shoulder to waist ratio was important.I just don't like the huge guts most have now and the lengths they go through to gain the mass.
