RIP Sergio Oliva

[Mr I]

Remembering Sergio, By Peter McGough

[Mr I]

Appropriate on the anniversary of his death

As you get older you see beyond simple statistics

For example, regardless of the number of Sandows, the 90's was the hardest most competitive era with athletes pushing their bodies to the absolute limit and lots of them all vying for top spot.

You also learn of prejudice in times gone by and when you look at genetics and life story there's none more impressive than sergio

[Herc]

Didn't he beat Arnold in a comp?

[Mr I]

Yes he did, he was also way better genetically but Weiderphile conspired against him with the help of shit stain arnold for marketing purposes

Died young at 71 of kidney failure

[Mr I]

sergio all day. i'm a broken record but ronnies midsection is just blah. compared to sergio it looks like ronnies guys have all been doubled in size from the inside out.

[Mr I]

^not reflective.

But being as I understand physiques as I do and can see who is relaxed and stood how I would still take Olivas proportions even there

[Herc]

thicker back for sure

[Mr I]

^see how arnold always twisted a bit at the waist to make his waist appear smaller.

[Herc]

Yes. Not twisted in first pic I posted though. I get it bro . Arnold was great at using Jedi mind tricks especially on Weider.

No he was just more marketable.

Makes out he was cunning, it was Weider peoder
