Mr. Olympia 1970. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Beginning of The Road. Video.

To continue the theme of Mr. Olympia, the best and the biggest competition in the world of bodybuilding, let's go back in time to Mr.Olympia 1970.

After the 1969 Olympia, where Sergio defeated young Arnold, Sergio and Arnold did not leave the gym for the whole next year. In a literal sense. They both trained hard. But "Austrian Oak" Arnold Schwarzenegger defeated Sergio Oliva.

At the end of the competition, when only two remained on the stage, the unexpected happened: Schwarzenegger whispered something in Oliva's ear and he left the stage. Dissatisfied with what was happening, the audience whistled and demanded to continue, but after cooling down, they began to chant: "Arnie, Arnie!" and Arnold threw up his hands in triumph.

 It was rumored that this behavior of the Cuban was caused by Schwarzenegger's proposal to stop the fight. Both athletes were exhausted from posing, so Oliva agreed and was the first to leave the stage. Arnold had only to stand on stage for a while, receiving a standing ovation from the audience.

Kai Greene parted ways with his coach Oscar Ardennes

Why Kai Greene left Oscar? Interesting news excited fans of Kai Green and the bodybuilding world in general: Kai Greene decided to stop working with his coach Oscar Ardennes. Oscar and Kai's cooperation started before the Arnold Classic in 2009, although they had previously known each other. The cooperation immediately paid off — that was the victory in Columbus, which contributed to the continuation of the tandem. This is true, but things didn't go as expected. Yes, there was a victory at Arnold Classic in 2010, but many began to notice that Kai Greene showed muscle quality not as good as before, and since then he has not shown the best condition. However, the steady growth of muscle mass goes really well. They say that Ardennes's training method is focused on muscle mass. Mr. Olympia 2010 went not good for Kai Greene. Oscar Ardennes didn't want to admit his own mistakes as Kai Greene's personal coach in preparation for the competition. Perhaps stress and other f...

Dorian Yates 'Less is better!'

There has been much debate and many "spears broken" among theorists regarding the frequency of training in bodybuilding. However, my point of view has the advantage of being proven in practice. Once, when I wanted to know how often I needed to go to the gym, I looked at the blisters on my own hands and found the answer. As we know, the skin on your hands becomes rough when you regularly lift weights. Blisters form as a protective reaction of the skin, but if you overexert your hands with a barbell every day, your skin can't withstand it and may turn into bleeding wounds. Therefore, your skin needs rest, and during that time, it can repair the damaged areas.

Bodybuilding Body Types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Which Type Do You Belong to? Human genetics determine many of the inherent characteristics that we are born with and cannot be changed later in life. However, through regular training and exercise, it is possible to overcome some of the limitations imposed by our genes. In 1940, William Sheldon introduced three distinct body types in his work "The Varieties of Human Physique", which is still used in medicine, science, and sports today. These three body types are known as ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. However, it is important to note that these body types are generalizations and not everyone will fit neatly into one category, as most people are a combination of these body types, with only some aspects of each present in their overall physique.
