Every time i see a video about a 90s bodybuilder, i think damn he looks so impressive, how have i never heard of him. Just shows you how packed the 90s and early 2000s were
The first Samoan bodybuilder to enter the Mr. Olympia. He also won the Masters Mr. Olympia in '95 which higlighted his career. Enormous physique and real legend of the 90s, who also competed against a Young Ronnie Coleman (0:55). In 2000 he was arrested on allegations that he would have assisted an Australian drug lord Tony Mokbel to import coke from Mexico into Australia. He spend three years in prison. In 2004 he passed away from cancer.
He did pass but hard to say if it's to do with cancer tbh. He is my uncle. I have plenty of photos with him as a kid. Especially around 2000 - 2004. He looked physically fit & healthy in all the old pictures. It's always been rumoured within our family that he was taken out by the Mafia as a loose end.
@96MAVS He was a good friend of my Dad, we went to church together in Richmond, and he would train my Dad at his house. Im sure you would remember his outdoor setup in the backyard under the carport. He was a very humble, modest & kind person. I wish he were still with us! I would have loved to train with him also. 🙏
Sonny Schmidt was a Samoan professional bodybuilder. Born: September 9, 1953, New Zealand Died: January 25, 2004 (age 50 years), Unfortunately, in 2003 he was diagnosed with cancer that has not responded to treatment. In 2004, he died at his home in Melbourne at the age of 50 years. In the last minutes he was surrounded by loving friends and relatives.
@@zxtenn Hey zxtenn, are you one of those who likes to capitalise on someone else's percieved weaknesses? Or did you just make a cursory remark without thinking before you spoke? Maybe it was an innocent enquiry? I hope so....
@wheresthegovernance4350 uncle sonny is my dads older brother, uncle sonny only had one son Edmund but we all a big family in Polynesian culture don't matter if your 1st,2nd 3rd cousin,we all aiga, blood is blood
I was lucky enough to meet Sonny in the 96, while training at Bodywork’s in Wellington. He was humble and nice guy, happy to chat and share his passion. And needless to say, his size was awe inspiring.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////

When i started training as a beginner at Findlays gym in Camberwell, Sonny used to train there at the time. He was a gentleman and often helped me with advice and guidence. I was just a skinny little beginner. A true legend...
ALL of his brothers were massive in size........natural big physics.....RIL uncle sonny......Uncle Sonny...Uncle Pale...Uncle Fossi.... Uncle Fritz......& Uncle Pisimaki were ALL big fellaz....SCHMIDT Family right there.................
I'm training with sonny schmidt friend here in Melbourne they even worked together as bouncers . He alway tell me good things about Sonny i think he miss so much his friend . R.i.p. champ
One of Polynesia’s best physiques ever to make it to the Olympia. I believe he won the Marsters Olympia if I’m right. Sonny had great Legs a Tank in those days but very sad he died to early however he will always be remembered as one of the best. Rip Sonny Schmidt. Olympia Legend😎😎😎🙏💯
I think I might have even seen this dude in Las Vegas many years ago. All I remember is being behind some dudes who looked very Samoan or Pacific Islander in the buffet line and they were huge and shredded. Had to be either late 80's or early 90's but I'll never forget the sight.
90s is just something else the proportions his conditioning he is awesome one of my favorite from the 90s lineup he is great when sharing stage with dorian in 1991 1992 1993 tremendous bodybuilder
This my first cousin he use to live in Henderson was a bouncer at the Glue Pot, golden gloves boxer, his brother Fusi was pacific heavy weight boxing title who was suppose to open for Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield fight, but that’s when got cancelled, all the brothers including himself are all boxers, I remember my cousin Ed telling me a story how he was talking to Sonny and asked him what his plans were, and Sonny said he is gonna become a bodybuilder and become Mr Olympia, he moved to Australia became 6 times Mr Australia before becoming Mr Olympia, in one our Schmidt reunion books from years ago until this day they still put him down as Olympiad Champ, unfortunately he had a bad run went to prison had a shoulder pain and it wasn’t just shoulder pain it was cancer and he died young, I later found out that he took the wrap for a certain person and that’s he went to prison, during that time in prison I found out through that same person that when he was in prison he found God, he made a name for a nation changed the game for that nation, when you walk around you see that nation Samoan strength of the pacific islands
Thank you for sharing brother. He was a good friend of my Dad. We went to church together here in Melbourne and he use to train my Dad at his house. He was very humble, modest & kind hearted. A true gentleman & inspiration.🙏
I like the video, but I have to share my experience with you, the question is the book You are stronger than you think from Borlest, it is mainly about increasing testosterone, it is a very important male hormone that is responsible for building muscles and bodies in men, trainers and fitness influencers he will not reveal the secrets found in that book, it is also known how weak men are today due to testosterone compared to our ancestors
I live in Samoa, It's actually ridiculous how big Samoans are. I'm 118kg pretty muscular but I feel so small compared to the average Samoan. I've seen dudes absolutely shredded that have probably never touched a DB in their lives.
And the many ones who are fat don't even look "just" fat, but have very solid calves, arms, neck and shoulders as if they were super heavyweight powerlifters or rugby props without even doing these sports.
@@jonharvey55 They even did studies on their body composition and they have one of the highest densities in their bone, fat and muscles and they are less likely to suffer from bone loss of age + one of the lowest percentages of hip bone surgeries despite the insane obesity rate.
Every body builder has a great body but I ve never seen anyone as impressive as Arnold Schwarzenegger his muscle build mass and cutting everything just looks perfect to the eyes
Thank you for showing this important person in ifbb ,just like LEE PRIEST ,they were robbed of the 1st Prize,mostly Americans ,or bodybuilders who live in America ,gain preference.
