A little series of photos comparing the "classical" bodybuilders to the bodybuilders of today.
Music* and bodybuilder's names are given at the end of the video.
* Had to add a song from the youtube library because my music was disabled due to copyright issues. So the song names at the end are for no use anymore. Song by Dozer - "Big Sky Theory"*

12 years ago...It's been 12 years since I seen this and started my journey.. I've been injured. Had surgeries... loss relationships, stop boxing, loss almost all my strength and health..even hair..... And suddenly bounced back, I'm blessed to say it is all coming back.... now 12 years into today... I'm grinding again like it's 12 years ago. But with too much knowledge at my disposal..This is full circle. This is your journey, This. Is bodybuilding. Dont quit!

@billybats6922 4 года назад

wxaviere1 wow, I was literally about to comment this same sort of thing. I use to box and after watching this when I was 13 back in 2008 I started my journey into becoming in shape. I had 3 kids along the way, heartbreaks, job changes, life’s challenges, now as i started training full on 1 1/2 years ago to get back into it, the pandemic happens and shuts down all the gyms. 2 months no gym and watching this gives me the fire to attack the gym just like the beginning 12 years ago.

@ManThatsANiceBanana 10 лет назад

'70s and '80s were the absolute best physiques, no doubt

@Icanmakeanything 10 лет назад

Back then they had size and aesthetics. They actually look like they could chase you down and fck you up, unlike today's, where they can even run a 100m sprint

@MrOffguts 10 лет назад

Ill agree with you on the fact that they looked more aesthetic back then but thats only because bodybuilding has evolved. Trust me just because they are more bulky doesnt make them slow.

@zxtenn 9 лет назад

Scott W Possibly not in a sprint but when Arnold and Franco were around they RAN on the beach, now cardio is walking at 2 mph for 10-15 minutes- Nearly impossible for anyone to train successfully in opposing sports such as cycling and BB, people need to choose what they like or what sport suits them

@Shabahproductions 11 лет назад

best bodybuilding slide show of all time. watched this 20 times lol

@Loddentidster 9 лет назад

I think that the bodybuilders of yesterday looked thike the heroes of the tale, you know like superman or hercules. While the bodybiulders of tody look a bit like the villains of the tale, like Bane or Hulk. (Now this is just to get a picture. I know that Ronnie Coleman is the nicest guy.)

@imalpha4471 8 лет назад

well both of them took steroids , some just got way bigger

@joetaylor5691 10 лет назад

Things have changed alright. Arnold and Columbu were kings. These guys today just have better drugs. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

@slavatko 9 лет назад

Arnold was the king, I agree. But Franco was never even close to it. He won only 2 times thanks to Arnold's retiring and lack of competition. It is like Klitshko who refused to fight strong figters but still call themselves the best boxers who ever lived on the planet. Franco is one of the most disproportionate bodybuilders the world has seen.

@zxtenn 9 лет назад

Yes, the main reason they are bigger is drugs not harder training- Some guys now weigh close to 300 and its from a few new drugs but look what happens to some of them- dead or they need to stop then look like the guy a the corner store. I think its fair to say that in MOST cases the old schools did more with less but you still need BLESSED genes regardless, I knew a guy who placed 3rd a few times in Mr. America a few times, he admitted it was his peak, after a while you reach your bodies limit with or without drugs Franco was on the worlds strongest men and did very well considering he was less than 200 lbs- Like anything HEIGHT plays a big role, not saying Arnold won because of height but if all are the same usually the tallest guy wins-I went to a Dickerson MANY years ago and he said a short guy needs to be better to make things equal- like any sport there is only 1 winner but its the journey that makes it worth while 2:24 you know the King is working for those 22 inch synthol free arms

@FlashX212 9 лет назад

Frank zane was the jack, Arnold was the king, Lou was the kings brother

@Lucky8rsproductions 13 лет назад

The first set of body builders, and the last guy, are they only ones that I truly respect

@mrarugaman 13 лет назад

todays body builders are bound to be bigger than they used to be as it is in human nature to strive to be the best. I mean the guys in this video are working so hard because in their life its survival of the fittest, the biggest and the best so yeah all in all i congratulate these guys on the video for being so determined to be the person they want to be :) great video :)

@cbipoki 14 лет назад

@Marzz1984 14 лет назад

Big Sky Theory by Dozer. Bad ass song and goes very well with this video.

@nick42701 14 лет назад

You bring up a great point, I didn't even think to look at it from that perspective, but I'm sure your right.

@SoggyPizzaPockets1 14 лет назад

One thing that you have to take note of is that during the on season (new bodybuilders), these guys have specific diets to make their muscles swell and make their veins pop more. During the off season, they guys look significantly smaller. I'm willing to bet that most of these pictures are during times of the on season.

@MrStillmans 14 лет назад

Nice video, especially the words at the start.

@taken60 14 лет назад

@JTC91 12 лет назад

I would kill to have a body like these people. Simply incredible and artistic.

@ZzDe0 13 лет назад

The old bodybuilders were huge but at the same time still looked pretty good. Today's bodybuilders just look like something out of a comic book.

@shlomifitness 13 лет назад

WOW this is great

@elizabethpeterson-gower2637 11 лет назад

Great Video.

@Tigerpaws9097826 12 лет назад

@Ragekoolaid I like the description you offered here of how you boost your capacity at the end of a set. Intense exercise is more than the physical repetition of a movement --it takes the ability to tap into the depths of one's mind and spirit, and clearly you've managed to do that.

@Chris12514 12 лет назад

dislike button isnt necessary here. This is by far the most motivational bb video!

@kgonzales8592 11 лет назад

@suharinos 13 лет назад

Its' phenomenal what human body can be, with roids or not. But the drive and the passion, obsession to your body can make incredible things to happen.

for all those asking for the song its dozer big sky theory

@VikingRaider 14 лет назад

Good job on the vid...........

@thechosenonesk 8 лет назад

Natural Powerbuilding, the mix of powerlifting with focus on technique, becoming progressively better in the 1RM of the big three and bodybuilding by train the main compound exercises in generall is what I recommend.

@nick42701 14 лет назад

I'm a med school student and I can tell you with 100 percent confidence, that even though it's obvious that these guys are injecting anabolic steroids, they HAVE to work out extremely hard to sustain that new muscle growth. They might have an added edge with the steroids, but steroids aren't enough to have the kind of physique they carry. It takes very hard work and a lot of time in the gym, along with strict nutrition to look like these guys.

@EPIK562 13 лет назад

@southoreast best of luck bro. r u competing all natural? what weight r u aiming for competing at?

@jdrew1130 14 лет назад

Old-school bodybuilders had a more classic and natural look. I wish we could return to these standards.

@Meddawg799 14 лет назад

Dozer-Big Sky Theory is the song playing. It's not mentioned on the end of the video and lots of people are asking.

@pe6obutilkata 12 лет назад

You are absolutely right.

@SuperSk33t 13 лет назад

@rocketfingers67 what im sayin is just because they use steroids doesnt mean they just sit on the couch and watch tv all day. They still have to go to the gym everyday and diet right. People have this crazy notion that steroids make guys bigger with no alternative help. Thanks for your comment and have a nice day.

@KarlRamstrom 14 лет назад

For those of you who don't know...Bodybuilding is called that because your literally building your body to its maximum potential and keeping everything symmetrical. It's bodybuilding...Not pretty boy competition. If your looking for that, then go to the mall and look at the little boys posing on the billboards of every clothing company and stop wasting your time here with the big guys. The pros now make arnold and the gang look like babies.

@TheCrazyFinn 14 лет назад

Arnie still looked hell of a lot better than any of todays builders ever could. The definition, not to mention the biceps! I've never seen any human with biceps like Arnolds!

@aaustinjacks 13 лет назад

love de music ;)

@Sylphan 14 лет назад

this is just sick...

@willieofroanoke 14 лет назад

One of the obsessive-compulsive disorders some body builder types suffer from is called muscle dysmorphia, the opposite of very skinny people thinking they are too fat. This is a mental disorder mostly effecting men that obsess about being too small, frail and undeveloped when they already have massive muscles. No matter how big they get they still feel inadequate. This often leads to a preoccupation with weight training, complusive eating to gain mass and frequent mirror gazing.

@llewgibson 6 лет назад

Just stumbled across your video mate, absolutely love the content. Liked straight away, We should connect!

@KSATica 11 лет назад

What did Franco columbo do at 4:22-25. What is it called that exercise and what does it focus on.

@Fayfaythejew 14 лет назад

wow its amazing its so much pain and effort into this just to look like freaks of nature...

@sagarathleteplus 13 лет назад

i really feel arnie and franco looked far more beautiful than todays bodybuilders...and would have won the competition against todays bodybuilders due to sheer beauty of the proportions of their build

@2002BRAM 14 лет назад

Bodybuilding...the king of any sport...;)

@soldia2836 14 лет назад

Nice vid

@lic2kil007 14 лет назад

I personally had my months of cycling diff anabols back in the 80's for 2 years. I had the chance to move to GH and other muscle producers but I choose not. I'm the hight of Franco and would of been tough competing against the likes of Shawn Ray, Paul DeMayo, Eddie Robinson, who had the time and $ to dedicate. My hats off to pro-bodybuilders you are my brothers of past, it was a great time. It was and is still a part of my life - it's in my blood, not pun intended.

@JaxBlade 14 лет назад

back in arnold's time you wud see bodybuilders and be like hey he looks good and is in great shape but today omfg they are just unnatural lookin and disgustin seriously

@nthomas87 14 лет назад

ive never seen an image like 3:44. that was pretty sweet

@MaNu03847 13 лет назад

Vintage bodybuilding rocks!!

@westybb18 13 лет назад

Today's bodybuilders are all about sheer size and mass, the freakier the better and the amount of steroids and GH they have to take is scary. The classical bodybuilders were the best and most inspirational . They still did use steroids sure but compared to the amount used by today's bodybuilders it's barely worth mentioning.

@sampson7858 14 лет назад

I was born in the 90s and I still believe body building was in its true form in the 70s. It seems like the older body builders looked more natural. I'm not going to say steroids ruined the sport, they were even present at that time.But they def sent it in the wrong direction.

@Chad01234 14 лет назад

@EPIK562 You nailed it. It is really sad where bodybuilding has gone. Symmetry has been seemingly cast aside in favor of "subjective symmetry," i.e., mass upon mass (ty Dorian Yates).

@miamipi76 9 лет назад

why do ppl lookup bodybuilding videos on youtube then hate on them lol . if you got haters you must be doing something right !!!!

@ccayco 14 лет назад

I never understood how everyone dismisses this as a sport when it takes pretty much complete 24/7 discipline just to compete. There's no real off-season unlike other sports. And the argument about these guys being on steroids, but nobody ever mentions it as a negative in any other sport, even though they're used everywhere.

@BJs4MePlz 14 лет назад

the symmetry on arnold is unbeatable...

@iurbitch 14 лет назад

good shit.. whats the song?

@trookers 14 лет назад

they do many hours cardio per week ... but i didnt see them do that, so watch more videos, or buy jay cutler dvd to see one of the greatest bodybuilder doing cardio

@frolickteen 14 лет назад

PLease tell me the name of the song. i cant find this version anywhere

@Lippo187 14 лет назад

true words buddy!!!

@butirka421 14 лет назад

wats the name of this song please let me know cause I gotta add it too my lifting CD

@areallylongassname2 14 лет назад

I'm 16 and accidentally lifted the weight holding thing and the 50 pound weights with one hand when it was stuck, so is there a chance i can get that big?I'm not huge but i do have a power lifer muscle structure after only 2 years of moderate occasional workouts.

@flyagaric007 13 лет назад

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial? Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO Remember when all the info was to the right of the video? Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars? Remember the famous yellow subscribe button? Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations? Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution! Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

@kgonzales8592 11 лет назад

i'm still curious i'm still asking my self that what or who is their inspiration to build there muscles to hard

@BiodegradeableMan 10 лет назад

Yep things have changed, Arnold looked amazing!

@nahun12 3 года назад

I hope they don’t take this video off

@paulatreides123 13 лет назад

Arnold and Franco were the glory days. Modern bodybuilding, outside of natural, is ridiculous.

@rodrigoguzman1994 12 лет назад

arnold swarzeneger your my inspiration you are the best at what you do

@MrOffguts 10 лет назад

Honestly i use to think they looked better in the 60's and 70's but now i realize that there are to many things missing on their bodies and I feel like most people can easily achieve a body similar to the old school bodybuilders in 5-10years of training. You dont become a professional bodybuilder to look nice and aesthetic YOU GO PRO TO BE THE BIGGEST PERFECTED MASS OF MUSCLE YOU CAN BE. legs back arms chest abs shoulders everything is huge on these guys bravo get bigger!

@VCRAGE 13 лет назад

@GangstaKul I agree, if you want to go to this level, no natural builder can achieve it.. Sad but true, this here is a form of building that requires extreme sacrifice ( side effects of steroids ) They arent casual Gym Bunnies. Roids are a must if THIS is something someone wants to achieve. Arnie is still and always will be the best ever. I will cry a bucket if he dies, a true legend, a really nice guy, a amazing personality, a role model for all of us disciplined builders.

@butirka421 14 лет назад

ppl who bodybulid is there any advice u have for not givin up, how do u keep goin?? also wats the name of this song

@soniabianca 14 лет назад

what song is that-I've never heard it. Pleeeeez I want to know!

@alyster1969 13 лет назад

One main thing that the bodybuilders of today forget is PROPORTION, they have thighs and backs that are twice at big as the chest and arms, during arnolds time they would work to make things perfect, now its just about making things big.

@boss1990x 12 лет назад

can someone tell me whats changed? and what are modern bodybuilders doing that the old ones didn't do? thanks

@RussX5Z 14 лет назад

Good song.

@JamisonProject 14 лет назад

@YangyStyle right, it only allows you do do more weight, you still have to work your ass off night and day

@bonfirebeast24 14 лет назад

i respect bodybuilders. i respect anybody who dedicates their life to somethin. i dont want to be a bodybuilder but i do want to be strong, athletic, and confident. these bodybuilders are just like everybody else except to the extreme. i cant help but wonder how big the human body can get without steroids. not saying everyone uses them, just wonderin what a pure human looks like.....

@southoreast 13 лет назад

@EPIK562 I agree bro. The old school look is what I'm shooting for for my first amateur competition at my school that takes place next year April. Wish me luck

@vovaparkourukraine1 14 лет назад

i absolutely agree with you about that. now body weight exercises, (pushups pullups etc), those are useful. the way you will be able to move around, coordinated body,as well as finely toned. also for parkour if you know what that is. weightlifting is for...lifting weights...wow. I like Arnold, but i doubt him or any other body builder can do a quarter of what those Olympic athletes do for mens gymnastics. those muscles aren't just for show, you saw what they are capable of.

@xxxxzzzxxxxx 13 лет назад

i love the golden era, to me those bodybuilders look a lot more simetric and slim compare to the new era 90`s and forward

Joe Weider is behind all these Champions. They're lucky he noticed them, so many guys out there all they need are sponsors and guidance but as always and in every sports and in every field, few who are lucky enough to be noticed.

@danieljohn10001 14 лет назад

Exactly, i agree to classical bodybuilders like Arnold, Sergio, Lee Haney, Danny and Franco. These are real and mostly natural bodybuilders. Nowadays, Ronnie and Jay culter are hopeless with more than average required muscles. Cheers to all Classical Bodybuilders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

@dtadeo2006 13 лет назад

arnie and all "classic" bodybuilders could've done the same. but back then bodybuilding was about on grace and proportion. today its about who can be the biggest.
