- 1974 Production following 3 bodybuilders in the lead up to NABBA 1974 Mr United Kingdom
The contestants who did their routines set to the music of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ were Peter Simpson from Mexborough in Yorkshire, whose ambition was to have the best physique in the country; Wally O’Malley posturing in front of a cracked mirror in the Irish club in Warrington ; and Bill Richardson, whose motto was “You train through pain to gain.” Pete won.
"Each muscle is violated and assaulted with a loving masochism until it has gained a personality of its own" Gotta write that on the gym wall 💪
“Great granite mountains of beefcake”.
😁 very intelligent and funny comment
Ha ha great comment that pal 🤣
Great to see people training unlike today most gyms are full of people on there phones taking up space.
its such a shame today people are shamed for making noise etc
Those tiktoks aren't going to film themselves you know.
My phone has my training log and music
I'm 67, began bodybuilding at age 15 in 1971, still doing it. The main difference I observe between then and now is that gyms today have far more people who are there for general fitness rather than dedicated bodybuilding.
Absolutely, these guys were old school, huge weights, less reps.
All three worked hard, physical jobs all day and still trained for hours as well. Today's pros don't know how lucky they are.
I'm 63 and remember watching this as a youngster. It got me into lifting and it become a life long passion which I still do to this day..
54 and been at it 35 years. It’s my first and only love. Always keep me going when things were down. It’s my therapy
❤️
@@bruceleroy838 nice one mate, keep grinding..
Im 59, and been training since late teens, lucky enough to have done a chest session with Dorian in 1991, which is still my proudest moment in the sport. Still deadlifting 4 plates and squatting 3. I will never stop.
@@tonyjones7372Good one Tony, got my first set weights at fourteen, still competing in powerlifting at seventy, “it’s too late to stop now”.
Fair play to Walter for his honesty as all were taking gear.
Yes
Not like liver king sahahha
Who cares
Dude was taking probably less than a desperate teen in the gym who wants a quick set of muscles
Yes fair play to Walter.
I just love the personalities and projections of the Brits. Man they are all so down to Earth and say it straight 😆👍
Everyone is well spoken and polite ✌️
Such humble guys, and softly spoken.
Gotta love the dude spotting in a tie
Serge Nubret would have been a guest poser. A class above those competitors.
I bumped into Walter at the Liverpool teaching hospital site in 73. I was 6'5" , body builder (there were only two gyms in Liverpool back then... Vics and Dysons ).
The only thing he said to me was " do you know where I can get a supply of chicken breasts.....lol " I was a site architect at the time...
I left UK in 74 for Perth Aus, and opened the first of 10 gyms, and started the co ed facilities. There are now about 150 gyms in Perth...were always no 1 per capita..even compared to California in the 80s onwards.
Loved the vid.
Still train to " failure" at 73 and still waiting for the day when everybody says " what will happen when you stop ".
I admire wallys honesty about gear as back then most denied it.
I would rather look like any of these than today's bodybuilders , much more aesthetically pleasing imo 👍
And brutally stronger much stronger back than
God bless you Pete. I think about you every day. I met Pete when I was 18 on a building site and over the years he took me under his wing and we became great friends. He changed my life for the better, so much so that my youngest son is named Ellis Peter after my great friend
That’s amazing Russell. Pete was my grandad.
Hi Dale, thank you for replying. I remember being sat with Pete at his house and you turning up when you were about 10 years old. I saw you and your family at Your Grandads funeral. Hope you are keeping well? I was aware of this documentary and have been looking for it for years. All the best pal 👍🏼
@@dalekelly360 I am very sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He couldn't have been that old?
@@russelltaylor3983 thank you for attending Russell
@@darkworld5026 he was only 60
That behind the neck press looked very painful, I bet his shoulders were shot later in his life. I saw a young Serge Nubret at the end when they were calling the finalists out. Great post and good to see a documentary from the UK 👍
interesting Serge didnt get the call out but takes 2nd the next year in the Mr O beating Louie
I noticed Nubret too, in that quick passing glimpse of him.
One of the worst exercises ever, never recommended now.
That Was Serge Nubret You See Briefly. BUT, To Answer Your Question About It Being "Interesting That He Didn't Even Make The Call Out" etc. The ONLY Reason That He Didn't Make The Call Outs Or Win... WAS Because He Didn't Even Compete In This Competition/Show! Why? Well For One, He Was From Paris France, Not From Great Britain* So He Wouldn't Qualify. Two, He Was Already A PRO Bodybuilder At The Time Of This Show. He Had Already Taken 2nd Place At The NABBA PRO Mr. Universe In 1963, 1964 & 3rd In 1969. That Same Year He Also Competed In The IFBB Mr. World (Tall) Taking 2nd... Third, At This Time 1974 He Had Already Taken 3rd At The 1972 Mr. Olympia, And 3rd Again At The 1973 Mr. Olympia. Thus, He Was Way Past This Level Of Competition At This Time. So, I'm Sure The Only Reason He Was There, Was As A Guest Posing. If You Pause It On Him, You'll Easily Notice How His Physique Is Much Better Then Any Of The Men In The Show. So No, He Was Not Young Here, He Won His 1st PRO Show Back In 1958. The Year After This Show, In 1975 He Placed 2nd At The Mr. Olympia (Heavy Division). In 1976 He Won The Nabba Mr. Pro Universe, His Last Win Was In 1983 At The Wabba World Championship...
I was thinking the same thing when watching him do the shoulder presses. He's gonna pay for that !!
One of the most amazing men I was blessed to call uncle. My uncle peewee. Love you forever. Xx
Is he still with us?
You must be very proud Charley 😊
Ah, the good old days!! I bought my first bodybuilding magazine in 1979, and remember Walter and Bill from subsequent magazines.
At 60 I still train, even with a knee replacement last year. Never got as big as these guys, never took drugs, but still enjoy it and still look pretty good!!
Around the same time I got my first mag maybe 1977 and I’m 60 this year ,remember these guys too in Healthe and strength and bodybuilding monthly.Bill was actually a judge in my first show as a novice in Portsmouth NABBA south Britain show in 84 and guest posed nis chest was unbelievably thick as was his neck and he was dripping in sweat as he gave it his all. Yes those were the days!.
@@chestnutsev7 It's a shame the internet has ruined bodybuilding magazines, and I stopped buying them after 2016 when photoshopping became obvious. The final straw for me was when Flex Magazine photoshopped it's 2016 Mr Olympia issue!!
I thought it was pretty sad that they needed to photoshop the best bodybuilders in the world - making their guts smaller and lats wider etc. The guys in the Open Class now look like shit with their overblown thighs and bloated guts. The 70's and 80's was indeed the Golden Era, and Arnold will always be the GOAT!!
@@mikthe2004 couldn’t agree with you more I don’t think I’ve bought a magazine for about 15 yrs,I no longer train as such but it’s still in the blood lol and I watch the bodybuilding channels like Rxmuscle ,Gregg V the old school guys. I used to look forward to the monthly mags hitting the shelves which were often late lol, still got a few boxes of them going back to the 70s. Yeah the 70s and 80s was the greatest era,back then to see a good bodybuilder walking past you in the street was a rarity .Now I see juiced up young guys prepping for the summer to walk around in a spray on T-shirt🙄. And Yeah Arnold will always be the GOAT! he was my idol when I started along with Bertil Fox,Mike mentzer (met him in 1980)Brian Buchanan to name a few.
@@chestnutsev7 Yeah, as much as a fan of bodybuilding I am, seeing these young guys at the local shops with their overblown thighs, and walking around with their lats flared out always makes me think "why?"
My 15 year old son lifts, and plays tennis, but I'd never recommend to him to take it to the extreme. It's a waste of time in most cases. Far better to spend your time studying or developing relationships with your friends and family. It's a very restrictive lifestyle. Brian Buchanan works as a Transperth Security Guard, and as a former bus driver I used to see him occasionally. It blew him away when I knew who he was, and especially when I showed him photos of my home gym - which had numerous pics of him up on the wall, along with Arnold, Lee Haney, Frank Zane and a bunch of others from the era. Brian has some great stories from his time as a top pro, but he's got numerous issues now with his joints, so his training is pretty limited.
@@mikthe2004 Lol The invisible lat syndrome I weigh 170 lbs but I gotta walk like I’m 300+ lol. Thanks for telling me about Brian last I knew he was in Australia,is he back in the U.K.? I saw Brian a couple of times guest posing at the South Britain show in Portsmouth 82 and 84 ,in 82 he looked phenomenal I think he’d just won the NABBA Britain show ,I think he could have got right up there if he’d wanted but as we know NABBA guys always had a problem when going over to the IFBB ( except Arnie). Most of the guys end up with joint problems some real bad I hope Brian’s doing ok he must be 60 as I am this year and I remember he was very close in age to me. Thanks for your reply mikthe2004 .Shawn.
I have been a fan of body-building for over 30 years and just discovered this gem of a video. Very likeable and hard working blokes.
Me too
I trained with Bill Richardson at Centaur health studio in Leeds city centre from 1984 till it closed in 1986, Great days !
This is the most 70s and Yorkshire thing I've ever seen -
MARVELLOUS 💥
dudes rotator cuffs took at beating with those behind the neck presses
Some call them shoulder wreckers.
These guys trained intense! I dont see any pros today training this intense.
That's how I've heard guys in the UK always trained. Heavy weight, crazy intensity.
There was a good interview of a British golden era bodybuilder talking about it; he scoffed at people using straps for rows, hah.
bec most pros now all juiced to the gill thats why
Bills 75 still going strong still looks like he could step into a mr olympia masters. Speaks multiple languages a Great British icon who really ought to receive a MBE or OBE
This vid came on to my feed and just had to watch it. Completely love these old school bodybuilding documentries especially the intense training they used to do with the old dirty rusty weights inside dark dungeon like gyms. Walter was banging those shoulder presses hard. I never seen that type of Smith machine before but it sure looks intimidating.
My gym in Devon has all this sort of equipment from the 70’s. All of the plates in this video we have, but the paint has come off and are bare iron. It’s all 1 inch stuff but we have some modern stuff too. It’s got no windows and the roof leaks. The vertical leg press is unused by most as they don’t know what it is.
Good to see a spotter, wearing a shirt & tie lol.....
Absolutely love the humbleness…
Nowadays all mouth !!!
This came out 2 years before PUMPING IRON!
Peter Simpson looks like a young Dorian Yates - I've seen pictures of Dorian after 1-2 years of training and he looked like Peter Simpson.
Yeah. I thought that. I remember pics of Dorian when he'd just won Mr Britain. Next time I saw him he was coming second at the Olympia and someone had attached another human to him😊
Walter was a great bloke. We went to his Autumn Classic competition in 1985. I was lucky enough to win the novice section. It was always the day after the NABBA Mr Universe and Walter had the class winners as guest posers. It was one of the best days of my life. I met Peter at our gym. Lovely bloke. Bill Richardson was always the guest poser at the area NABBA shows. He posed to Star Wars theme with those big pecs. Great look into yesteryear. Thank you.
Great to see the sport in the good old days, especially Bill and Walter - plus Peter, who I never met as I got into the business a year or two after this contest.
Each and every one a champion. Such dedication and commitment. I prefer this documentary over Pumping Iron.
Pumping iron? The classic film that started the whole industry? Yeah right
@@rODIUMuk everyone has their own opinion.
Bill Richardson used to be the security guard in the Arndale Centre in Bradford years ago.
Wow! 😱
My grandad (Walter Omalley)😁💪
Ah coincidence Peter is mine.
"The British Bulldog" Davey boy Smith mentioned your Grandfather Mr. Walter O'malley was his coach.👍🏾
He was very underrated
Is he born in Ireland
@@irish_failed_guitarist His accent says north east of England.
Great to see aesthetics triumphing over mass, although they all looked good. Thanks for the upload 💪
Loved and remembered everyday Pete and you are never far from my thoughts xxx
It would be great to see where these men are now.
Walter still runs a gym in Warrington with his wife. He's in his 80s now and still works out. Doesn't seem like the steroids did him any harm.
@@Bill-01seemed a stand up bloke would love to meet the man
@@JohnDoe-12 if ever your passing through Warrington just Google O'malley's Gym and pay a visit. He's a lovely guy.
@@Bill-01 I trained there sometimes. I went there as a teenager and it was a bewildering place, but not as terrifying as Catt's gym (Harry Catterall), noisiest place I've ever been to.
I knew Pete well, bless him, trained with him at Denaby Gym for years. Lovely fella
I remember seeing this when it was shown on TV originally. Haven't seen it since. Thankyou for this, I thought it was lost forever.
thank you
There must have been so many kids who had never heard of bodybuilding before, watching this wide-eyed, and rushed out the next day to buy muscle magazines and start their own journeys.
I love the wallpaper.... Brings me back to my childhood:D
wont see any bodybuilder today training hard like that
Watching those behind the neck barbell presses made me want to start claiming disability allowance
Steve Reeves type physiques, like Greek Statues
Kind and Humble. 🇬🇧🏋️♂️💪♥️
To hear the narrator mentioning steroid use so casually shows the respect of the sport itself. No worry about “cheating” BS. Just the culture and doing what it takes to build the best body. Awesome documentary
Best bodybuilding doc I have seen in years
Loved big Walter O’Malley top man and so down to earth saw him doing a seminar at the central gym in Burnley. What a back wide and heavily muscled and he was strong as an ox.
Interesting how it was judged as a "most beautiful male body" contest, not whoever has the most muscle but the most pleasing to the eye. I wish it was still this way...
Thank you for posting this!
Great video, loved training and competing in the early 80's through to early 90's. Some great people around then and I'm sure the 70's too. Most very humble and a few legends gave this then youngster a great start.
I remember taking those supplements back in the day. Kelp, liver tabs etc.
“Three hours a night, six night per week…”
Mike Mentzer and Arthur Jones just rolled over in their graves. Between that workout schedule and working a full time job it’s amazing this fellow was able to train like that because we was damn sure not adequately recovering. It’s very interesting to see how far our understanding of the recovery side of bodybuilding and exercise on the whole has progressed. If it wasn’t for the Dbol and whatever other anabolic these guys had available at the time, there is no way in Hell they’d be able to maintain that schedule.
It would also be interesting to see how much better they would be with more modern training methods, nutritional, and supplementation (including PEDS).
I don't think there is a right or a wrong way. Mentzer and Dorian found what worked for them. Mentzer is dead and Dorian (who is my all time favourite) had shocking career ending injuries. Personally speaking, when I've tried the high intensity low rep training I've suffered lots of niggling injuries. I've been training 40 odd years off and on and tried just about every type of training that I've known about but at my age, high reps lower weight ensures results without the injuries. Do you remember Bob Paris from the 80's? Incredible aesthetic physique. He used to do like 36 sets for back. 😊
@@DudeSilad Bob Paris , probably the best My Olympia there never was . King of Aesthetics , shading Francis Benfatto by a whisker . Unfortunately he couldn’t be given the title because he was gay - remember this was the 80’s . Funny thing is Bob probably wouldn’t be “big” enough to legitimately compete in the open now , he’d be a classic competitor , he’s very similar to Bumstead physique wise .
@@bobmathews9072 I don't know about him being denied Mr Olympia because he was gay but there were some exceptional fellas around. Everyone seemed to have great conditioning in those days. In comparison to today's lot anyway.
@@DudeSilad Well you know what Joe Weider was like , anything to earn money , and having a gay Mr O would have probably driven away most of his customers back then , Weider always had ulterior motives in who was installed as Mr O . Mid 80’s- 90’s was the Golden Era as far as I’m concerned , so many great characters and physiques back then , pre bubble-gut era . A lot of sad losses too thanks to diuretics and other fads of that time (Andreas Munzer , Mo Benaziza etc)
@@bobmathews9072 Deffo most of it was fixed under Weider. Think it was nearly impossible for the reigning Mr O to lose. He had his favourites. Franco in 76. Arnie in 80. They should never have won. You had to say how great and how thankful you are to the Weiders.
Mrs Simpson is the inspiration for Mrs Merton.
Such a wonderful view into the past!
I remember Peter well. He was very underrated.
The winner deserved it,,he stood out from the others as soon as he walked out on stage.
As a 67-year-old who began bodybuilding (always naturally although I have no problem with informed adults choosing to use PEDS) at age 15 in 1971, three years before this video, I've too-often heard it said today that "they all denied taking AAS in that era!"
As this documentary, as the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron", and as other media of that era including the then-prestigious and widely read magazine "Sports Illustrated" all prove, that isn't true. Bodybuilders of that era DID acknowledge taking anabolic steroids and ancillary drugs. The public was already aware of the fact, or at least able to be aware.
Bodybuilders then usually didn't openly volunteer that fact, were often dishonest about the amount of drugs they were using, and sometimes seriously downplayed the importance of drugs, since they didn't want people to overlook the effort of their hard training and restrictive eating, but during the 1970s many bodybuilders admitted AAS usage. As happens in this video, bodybuilders of the 1970s expressed that they disliked taking drugs and they wished that no drugs existed, but that to be competitive, they had to use drugs.
I sometimes wonder if there's been more denial and more dishonesty about PED usage ever since the 1970s ended and it subsequently became possible to earn substantial money from bodybuilding, and especially ever since anti-PED laws were enacted.
Great, I've never seen a young Bill Richardson footage till now.
It's nice to see Wag and Dianne Bennett judging. I used to train in Wag's Gym back in the late 70's 80's.
That documentary is pure gold!
Great to see people working out instead of on phones shame it's not like that now and just refreshing to hear open and honest about drugs u like many now and so much more genuine people.
I'm age 67 and have been and am still bodybuilding for 52 years since beginning at age 15 in 1971.
Keep in mind, the main reason the guys in the 1970s weren't on cell phones is that cellphones didn't exist to be using then. While just as it's fact that some (including me) today aren't on their cellphones, it's also a fact that not everyone in the gyms in the 1970s was seriously dedicated to training. A video such as this shows only the seriously dedicated guys in the gyms then, not the other type. My generation were not different and certainly not "better" than you younger guys are today (although too many of my arrogant-and-willfully-ignorant peers mistakenly think they were better!) so was comprised of both types of gym-goers.
Consequently, you can be sure that if my generation had had cellphones in the 1970s, the gyms during the 1970s would have been the same as now, with some guys focusing only on training but plenty of guys on their cellphones.
You are correct about the honesty with drug use then. Most bodybuilders, amateur and professional, in the 1970s who were using anabolic steroids (and the relatively fewer other drugs available then such as thyroid drugs) were honest about using them, especially when asked.
The negative changes in public attitudes toward PEDS and consequent pressure against them beginning after the mid-1980s, and then the anti-PED laws being enacted in the 1990s, combined to create the dishonesty, denial, and outright lying among bodybuilders today.
These guys look so much better than the bodybuilders of today with their ultra-chemically enhanced physiques.
great documentary l was still at school in 1974 so wouldn't of known what a bodybuilder was back then, my first experience of seeing bodybuilders was watching pumping iron when it was shown on TV around 1978/79 and it blow me away and got me interested in training l managed to get a set of weights and started training at home, l would of started training earlier if l had seen this documentary for 1974 the guys were awesome, in the 1986/1990s l these guys would turn up as guest posers at the NABBA events they always looked good
This was Awesome 👏💪
Purple Aki gave this video a like.
Squeeze those muscles
@@peternagy-im4be Cornered me and my brother in Leigh's cenotaph garden in about 1987. He used to wait there on Saturday nights. One lad who worked as a glass collector in a nightclub near there said he had him doing squats with him sitting on his back. Feeling his calves at the bottom. 🤨
Peter Simpson was one of my Dads old training partners. My father says he used to post to the Exodus soundtrack. Is this why some of the sound is missing, from some of the posing routines at the end of the documentary?. Thanks for sharing this online, I grew up hearing stories about Mr Simpson and the other bodybuilders featured in this program.
Some of the sound is missing as CZcams and copyright laws don’t let you play other people’s music. Pete was my grandad and the production company that filmed this were kind enough to dig into their archives for it for me.
@@dalekelly360 Thank you for the reply Mr Kelly, I'm glad they took the time to dig this up. My Dad used to go to the NABBA Mr Universe and other contests with your grandad. My Dad worked at gym in Huddersfield where Bill Richardson used to train daily. I grew up hearing many stories about Mr Simpson and his brutal training regimes.
Brilliant ! , I trained with Bill Richardson at Centaur health studio in Leeds city centre from 1984 till it closed in 1986
All the old dears waiting on the bingo next😂
Very nice documentary. Thanks for uploading
Brilliant blast from the past. I really enjoyed it. 💪💪👍
Simpson definitely deserved to win, he looked the best
"Each muscle is violated and assaulted with a loving masochism"
I'll remember that next time I train
Thanks
That was a brilliant documentary. The guys were really humble compared to today. I wonder how the lads lives worked out in later years, did they keep training & even if they are still alive in 2023? Old UK tv documentaries were always excellently produced.
God I miss England 😢
Unbelievably Serge Nubrei 27:22
Incredible find!
whats unbelievable is he didnt get the call out then places 2nd the next year at the Mr Olympia ahead of Louie
@@SAXONWARLORD1000AD I can almost guareentee that he was there to guest pose he had been in the Olympia at least since 72.
The old sounds of the metal plate rattling not like to day gyms
Give me an old school gym anyday
sure i seen serge nubret back stage......??? .one of the greatest ever
That was one intense barbell curl.....
They built better physiques back then than the bloated bodies on stage now
Too many mass monsters
@@gregoriomiller8241
Not even mass, just bloated and imbalance with their narrow shoulders (take away their oil infusions), flat chests, non existent calves...
And they cant pose to save their lives, out if breath before they finish their watered down mandatory poses.
The 70s were truly an end to what the art and sport of bodybuilding used to be. The drug use that became very apparent in the sixties and seventies snowballed.
Keep on training brother.
@@kkwok9 It's grotesque
@K Kwok You've never heard of classic physique.
@@kjn6505 His point still stands.
Danke für das super Video!!!
Serge Nubret there in the back room and then he's on the Olympia stage the next year with Arnold and Louie - a serious jump from no call out in the UK to 2nd in the Mr O the next year - i used to see him at the Redondo Beach GOLDS in the early/mid 90's , he was huge and ripped
I wonder if he was there as a guest poser being French?
He Didn't Even Compete In This Show. He Is From France First Of All, And Was Already Placing 3rd Twice In The IFBB Mr. O By Time. He Was Already A PRO.
He Was Just There Guest Composing...
@@ovens88 He was one of the head honchos of NABBA Europe at the time.
A guy being that honest back then about steroids was rare im sure , and he knew it could be a problem later in life , especially the thyroid medication some were taking - i hope they are alive and well as of 2023
As a 67-year-old who began bodybuilding (always naturally although I have no problem with informed adults choosing to use PEDS) at age 15 in 1971, three years before this video, I've noticed that too-often it's said today that "most of them denied taking AAS in the 1970s!"

Bodybuilders of that era DID acknowledge taking anabolic steroids and ancillary drugs such as the thyroid meds. The public was already aware of the fact, or at least able to be aware.
True, bodybuilders of the 1970s usually didn't openly volunteer that fact, were often dishonest about the amounts and dosages of drugs they were using, and sometimes seriously downplayed the importance of drugs, since they didn't want people to overlook the effort of their hard training and restrictive eating.
However, during the 1970s many bodybuilders admitted AAS usage, especially if asked about it.
In that pre-Internet age, marketeers such as Weider and Hoffman were dishonest about AAS use in their magazines, since those businessmen wanted customers to believe the bodybuilders used in their advertising were the result of the supplements and the training courses those businesses peddled. But most bodybuilders themselves were honest if asked.
As in this video, bodybuilders of the 1970s did usually express they disliked taking drugs and wished that no drugs existed, but that to be competitive, believed they had to use the drugs.
After the 1970s and early 1980s ended, I observed exponentially more denial and more dishonesty about PED usage. That seems to have been the effect of the increased controversy regarding the ethics and the medical dangers of AAS which began to demonize AAS; to evade association with AAS, more bodybuilders began denying usage. Once the 1990s anti-PED laws were passed, denial and dishonesty became a legal necessity. In this internet age, PED-denial has become quantitatively more common, since web marketeers are doing same as the Weiders and the Hoffmans did, denying that they themselves use PEDS in order to sell their courses and supplements.
But, perhaps surprisingly to those who've grown up with all the denial common since the late-1980s, most bodybuilders of the 1970s were apt to be honest about their AAS use.
@@joesantus1663 anti ped laws yet they sell tobacco products that destroy lives etc just about sums it all up
So interesting.

Very cool.
never seen a spotter wearing a shirt and tie
If todays humans were so humble
They even moaned differently in the 70's.

Thank you James
@@dalekelly360 👍 just came across this video on you tube dale quality & funny no dossing on muscle beach in them days lol thanks for Ur reply
I remember watching this sometime late 70s, obviously a repeat (BBC, duh) probably 8 or 9 but was into bodybuilding from then through my brother, brings back memories.
Pumping Iron is seen as the doc that started the BB craze in the 70s but this was a couple of years previous.. all these guys I recall from the UK BB mags of that time, with other UK based builders like Bertil Fox and Al Beckles.
All those guys at the NABBA looked great but a cold Serge Nubret could have won if he entered, what a physique!
In the mold of Zane !!!
And pop goes the rotators
👍💪
Great stuff. Like pumping iron
I really enjoyed that. Shame about the slight loss of sound towards the end. I wonder if any of the guys featured are still with us?
Posing was spasmodic in those days.
5:19 she looks exactly like her Son just with Glasses :D
yep it is nice to be able to buy off the rack, we dont wear sweats and t shirts because we love it, if you develope the much sought after x frame forget shopping in normal shops
Walter O’Malley training 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. Many would consider that overtraining today. The heavy duty preachers would be horrified.
Definitely over training
Yeah overtraining for sure, any longer than 45 minutes causes atrophy unless you’re on drugs to compensate
@@jamessimpson3669 drugs mean you can train every day for hours and fully recover
But are they really doing what they preach or selling codswallop to those who will buy what they believe and want to hear?
But if you're recovering then you're not overtraining. Arnold trained longer, like most did back in the 70's.
Big Bill 💪🏻💪🏻
Some real old school training going on here. Notice the lack of a curle bar. Insane flys, which were forced down, behind the neck presses! Wally was 18 at the time of filming!
These guys trained hard
Anyone know if he’s still around ?( sorry obviously after reading through the comments 😞 be sadly missed was well loved and respected from a lot of people
