Mr. Olympia 1971 Arnold Schwarzenegger was left alone. Video.

Mr. Olympia 1971 Arnold SchwarzeneggerWhile I was searching for videos of Mr.Olympia 1971, I couldn't found any, the only photos. Apparently, the easy victory of Arnold in 1971, when Mr. Olympia was held in Paris a week after the NABBA Universe, where "Arnie" had no competitor, was not an interesting event. It's a Joke! But I suddenly found one video. To my shame, I found new information about that contest.

It turned out, that Sergio Oliva applied for Mr. Olympia 1971 IFBB, but was disqualified for participation in the tournament 'Mr. Universe 1971' NABBA one week before the Olympia. Before that, Ben Weider pleaded to Sergio to not participate in the NABBA contest and do not get disqualified because of participating in an unsanctioned event for IFBB. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, wanting Sergio to be his competitor, said to him six weeks before Mr. Olympia IFBB that they will not allow him to compete after attending NABBA. That was the first year when IFBB announced its dominance, autonomy, and the right to disqualify athletes who compete in unsanctioned events (for example, competing organizations, such as NABBA).
Instead of participating, Sergio was allowed to perform as a guest posing, and only after sending a letter of apology to Congress IFBB.

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.
