Well isn't this just the topic to discuss.. :)

I think it was pretty clear that Arnold was the champ.. not because I admire Arnold.. but truly Louie had strong weak points.. Back thickness and seperation as well as legs..

Did you know however that Serge Nubret actually had a really good chance to win? 2 weeks out from the show.. he was in the 240's.. but then one thing happened and he dropped 20 pounds.. looking much smaller.. Arnold would have really had a challenge then.. but Lou was deservingly 3rd.

Nice!

i think the judges were right he didnt hav a chance against arnold i dont know about third place cause i didnt really pay attention to the guy in second but i know he didnt deserve to beat arnold even though he was heavier and taller

I agree that Arnold was the Heavyweight Olympia Champ... but I think Franco had him beat in the Overall... Even though Arnold was taller, and the judges try not to take that into consideration, I think Franco had a harder denser and more cut physique. (Did you see his upper chest and lats?) the man is a maniac....

Did Lou ever win? I have a limited knowledge on the competitive side of bodybuilding and was not sure if he has won or not?
