I remember the 84 Olympia when Sergio Oliva Sr. held his baby son in his arms. Who would have thought that the baby son would develop such an incredible physique.
The last year this sport is getting so interesting more rivalies, better posing, less bubble guts en more historic moments. Im really excited for the rest of the year.
I remember seeing Sergio's wife hand Sergio Jr., as an infant, to Sergio Sr. on stage at the 1985 Mr. Olympia and Sergio Sr. held him up with pride saying he will be the future "myth".....and here we are in 2020. Crazy!
2024 I think it will be really hard for him to do it. He has not the best genetic, he will need to put a huge amount of mass on his legs and back hide his large waist and it will be hard to gain all this mass and be able to win this soon. Then we are not in the mass monster era anymore. If he wanna win he's got to be the new Jay Cuttler
pecdude remember that everyone handles the pressures of stardom differently. He probably has thousands of voices speaking his way daily. Not everyone can shut the noise out. Specially Sergio, the dark side of social media has turned him very bitter at times and he lashes out in a unique way. It’s understandable though, how do you even prepare for that? The dude was born into a family that left a big legacy behind. So Sergio has always been viewed from a unique perspective. I’m sure he will grow and mature overtime... these are growing pains he’s experiencing.
Just announced that the food intended for Arnold Classic attendees was shipped to Nashville to feed first responders for the tornado disaster. They even sent chefs to prepare the food & serve it.
you can tell how much this meant to Sergio. Huge fan of him and his physique. He has a crazy work ethic and he’s doing what’s necessary to become a champion. Huge respect.
If he can gain another 10 lbs of muscle and get that back up , he will be the next consecutive Olympian ! He has a fantastic look man idk how or why he shouldn’t !
its good to point out that sergio never wanted his son to be a bodybuilder, thats why he said "i don't know" and asked arnold to do his pose, cuz that he was certain that his dad would like
Sergio Jr's free posing routine was a true blending of art and athleticism, the way bodybuilding used to be. Guys like Mohamed Makkawy, Frank Zane, Ed Corney, even Arnold and Franco (remember the scene at the beginning of Pumping Iron when they were taking ballet lessons?) put a lot of thought and effort into their posing routines to make it graceful, dramatic and entertaining, as opposed to just stomping back and forth across the stage and hitting random muscle shots (while begging for applause).
To be honest, even though I dislike his physique, especially his laaaaaarge waist. He did exactly what he said, even more. I think he was kinda triggered by the Patrick Moore trend but when it comes to show up on stage he did the job while Patrick did not
I’ve been a bodybuilder and fan since I first saw Tom Platz on the wall of my YMCA in 1987. This story and the charismatic exchange between Arnold and Sergeo was new pure bodybuilding history! Love it!
This brought tears to my eyes as I was a big fan of his father and actually personally met Sergio Sr in person and was part of a promoter's team to have Sergio Sr guest pose in Burbank Ca . To see Sergio Jr love and honor his father's legacy as " The Myth " and stand with the Great Arnold Schwarzenegger in a true sentimental moment warmed my heart and brought the era to flow in my blood like the kick back I need every day as a elder bodybuilder myself 🙏
This was very touching. Being a lifelong bodybuilding enthusiast, this moment was absolutely priceless. The Great Oak giving praise to the son of his greatest rival ❤️
What a moment!! It's good to see both Sergio Oliva Jr bringing back the art of bodybuilding, and Arnold acknowledging his rivals son and his fantastic achievement.
Didn't think too much of him before the show but he delivered the goods and deserves the applause he's getting. It's good to see somebody putting the emphasis back on posing. What a historic moment!
Sam Almond agreed. I wonder what he was thinking at that moment. Perhaps he was thinking that Sergio JR could be the future Mr. Olympia in a few years.
Congratulations to Sergio on being recognized for his outstanding posing routines and fantastic improvement in his physique. He came in under the radar and made a huge impact on the stage. My whom doubted him were quickly silenced. Sergio will be a force to be reckoned with. His presence on the stage speaks volumes. Overall Arnold Classic was a great show and had a lot of wow factors. Hats off to all the athletes who graced the stage and gave their one hundred percent!!
Great stuff! I got to see Sergio Sr. guest pose in Florida just before the 85 Olympia. I was taught how to pose by Rafael Guerrero who was Sergio's Olympic Weightlifting coach in Cuba. It warms my heart to see the connection between Arnold and Jr. That was Bodybuilding History magic.
Sergio has really good charisma for the sport , That is the golden bodybuilding age charisma 👨👨👦👦 like family ; after Dorian everything changed everyone wanted to be quite like Dorian . Sergio deserves all the best , blessings !
Moore has Moore potential. Sergios waist isn’t aesthetically pleasing unfortunately he wasn’t blessed with his fathers waist. Patric more by far has the most potential he just needs to nail everything, size, and condition
Amazing story to be told. I’m so glad he won this award and I love how emotional they both were. This is what bodybuilding is all about. I hope everyone enjoyed seeing this as much as I did. And thank you nick for bringing this video. Your the only fitness channel I’ll watch other then Eddie hall and Bryan Shaw. Much love from NOLA
Probably the 20th time I have watched this. Kind of gives you chills, when Arnold tells Segio, 50 years ago I was posing next to your father, here in Columbus.
What a moment for Sergio. His & Arnold's happiness is indescribable. Wish to see him as a Mr Olympia. He looked great so it means he can do it sooner. #bodybuilding fan #history lover just like Nick
I’m happy for Sergio Olivia Jr., that was a great moment for him. His posing routine was great. You could tell that he put a lot thought, time, and practice into that routine. He deserved to win best poser. The bodybuilders do need to put more thought, and effort into their posing routines, like the bodybuilders from the 70’s and 80’s did.
Of course Arnold wasn't happy doing that. He's not in the condition to be posing these days, nor dressed for it. If anyone else asked, he would've said no.
That's my big brother and he's a great guy. He over came and went through a lot as kid and in his dad's old school and cop ways lol he making everyone proud and he won't stop ✊💪
I really want Sergio to be great because of his story. Until this show he was just disappointing, but with the massive improvements he made I am happy. His physique is somewhat similar to his dad, but he is not his dad. He is a great bodybuilder with his own unique physique.
Everybody says Arnold is a money making machine but for him to go back on time and acknowledge his rivalry with Sergio Oliva Sr. speaks volumes about Arnold as a person today.
Sergio Oliva, Jr. was the most improved overall in addition to being the best poser! He closed some of his "gaps" so to speak. I am SO proud of and happy for Sergio! I wish his Dad could have been here to see it. I'm sure his Mom Arleen was there. I was able to be at Sergio, Sr.'s wake in November 2012 and sit next to his Sister Julia for a bit. Sergio, Sr. would be so proud of him. And the irony is he strongly discouraged Sergio, Jr. AWAY from bodybuilding growing up in Chicago. He didn't really start serious training until into his 20's. Thanks for putting up Sergio & Arnold's speech. LOVE Arnold's banter with Sergio! I honestly thought Sergio was going to ask Arnold if he thought his Dad actually was better than him in the 1972 Olympia! From a native Rogers Park Chicagoan and fellow Mather Ranger graduate - congratulations Sergio!
A truly historic moment in bodybuilding history.
EXTREMELY wholesome.... This was beyond beautiful.
@SuperCaliFragiListicExpiali DopeShit good for you, man. He seems like a real one!
Very beautiful
I remember the 84 Olympia when Sergio Oliva Sr. held his baby son in his arms. Who would have thought that the baby son would develop such an incredible physique.
Still, Arnold didn’t want him to have the mic... 😂
The last year this sport is getting so interesting more rivalies, better posing, less bubble guts en more historic moments. Im really excited for the rest of the year.
It's almost like we might be entering into a new golden era.
@@SeanStrife that's alchemy
People forget Luimarco’s role in this. He was the original whistleblower.
If Phil makes a comeback and he doesn't have the bubble gut , it will get lit
Well said.
Arnold is an incredible man. How thoughtful to have that discussion with him at that moment. A priceless moment for them both I am sure.
💯
Arnold is such a great man
Incredible? Low expectations...
@@5250ITW Sheeple are easily impressed.
Off course he did. He is fucking politician.

Onca Pintada how old is sergio?
Onca Pintada and how old was his father when sergio oliva junior was born?
@@derderdeinemutterfickt4936 I think Sergio jr is 36-37
Y G
Think the myth was 42 or 43 at the time
1984 Olympia in NEW YORK you mean. When Haney won and Sergio came 8th.
Sergio: Can you hit the victory pose?
Arnold: Wich one? I had so many victory poses hahahaha
Lmaooo
Hahahahahhahahahahaha
Arnold - so crafty and smar me. He knew what Sergio mean't.
That had me rollin. 😂
I was laughing at this lol. Arnold will always be a badass;)
When he hit that victory pose at the end. Dad is looking down on you, boy.
this comment hit in the feelings brother.
Got something in my fucking eye again
I like how he goes “no my DADS victory pose” made me tear up a little. That father and son love is special. Foreal
I hope he wins the Olympia in 2024 making it 40 years later than his dad held him up as a baby at the 1984 mr Olympia
brooklyn mitrica amen brother
Whos cutting onions? 😪
oh my god... not crying...
2024 I think it will be really hard for him to do it. He has not the best genetic, he will need to put a huge amount of mass on his legs and back hide his large waist and it will be hard to gain all this mass and be able to win this soon.

Sergio seems like a good guy off the internet
You mean in front of a crowd and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

@@angelomanzi9272 probably cos the Internet is full of losers.
Sergio is such a nice guy with a big heart. He is genuinely the same person off stage that he is on stage.
Just announced that the food intended for Arnold Classic attendees was shipped to Nashville to feed first responders for the tornado disaster. They even sent chefs to prepare the food & serve it.
Wow.
As a native Nashvillian, thank you all and the city thank you. Nashville strong!
God bless Arnold
That's the kind of thing that Arnold does without ever seeking any attention for it, he really is a great guy.
@abortioncritical why go out of your way to sound illiterate ?? It's "should have".
you can tell how much this meant to Sergio. Huge fan of him and his physique. He has a crazy work ethic and he’s doing what’s necessary to become a champion. Huge respect.
I agree with Nick, Sergio as definitely the most improved
You can just tell those comments from Arnold came from the heart. He's really proud and why not, Sergio looked great.
Sergio looks like he's getting that 3d effect,he improved a lot , looking very good in that tight lineup,hope to see him shine in the future.
Best legs of the show
If he can gain another 10 lbs of muscle and get that back up , he will be the next consecutive Olympian ! He has a fantastic look man idk how or why he shouldn’t !
@@jordanlaurenzo2063 he also needs to come in harder on his upper body. Also he needs to bring up his back.
He has that smooth yet grainy look of Phil Heath
Agreed. He just needs to bring up his chest. It ends up looking smooth in the most muscular and flat in the victory pose.
Very emotional moment. Arnold is a true gentleman for paying homage to this young man’s father and encouraging his son. Class act.
Nick strength and tears..
Sergio has one of the best improvements. I think he deserves the best poser award.
Fuck me... Can't believe I'll have to be the guy that says that you're in every fucking comment section....
1 What the hell are you doing here
2 what the hell are you doing here this early
Thanks for that..
Dude how are you here lol
@@vik.1903 just a bunch of people sharing an account
a great moment for sure bro. Arnold's short speech came off as very thoughtful and genuine as well. loved to see it
Sergio Jr. Deserves this recognition . Especially from Arnold 💪
its good to point out that sergio never wanted his son to be a bodybuilder, thats why he said "i don't know" and asked arnold to do his pose, cuz that he was certain that his dad would like
Sergio Oliva Jr. hitting all the "Ginyu force" poses like a boss!!! Hold this "W" It's a lot harder than it sounds.
Fucked. laughed so hard
Ginyu force poses haha
It's great to see the respect Arnold had for his father and how incredible Sergio's son looks he will only continue to improve
Sergio Jr's free posing routine was a true blending of art and athleticism, the way bodybuilding used to be. Guys like Mohamed Makkawy, Frank Zane, Ed Corney, even Arnold and Franco (remember the scene at the beginning of Pumping Iron when they were taking ballet lessons?) put a lot of thought and effort into their posing routines to make it graceful, dramatic and entertaining, as opposed to just stomping back and forth across the stage and hitting random muscle shots (while begging for applause).
"i have a lot of victory posses"
Arnold is so funny i pove him🤣
Damn, these 2 generations of bodybuilder makes me cry... they respect each other... thank's Nick, for share the moment...
After hitting victory pose, Arnold took mic from Sergio as soon as possible lol
Ye Arnold be like: gimme that sheet
@@Ricardo-vk9zw 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ego Maniac 101... 😂
And the little chuckle 'ah heulk heulk heulk'
lold
Getting praise from arnold and paying homage to Sergio awesome moment in bodybuilding history
*_THIS IS A GREAT MOMENT._*
Sergio put the money where his mouth is and backed up his claims.
Exactly!!
Agree. Even his waist seemed in check.
To be honest, even though I dislike his physique, especially his laaaaaarge waist. He did exactly what he said, even more. I think he was kinda triggered by the Patrick Moore trend but when it comes to show up on stage he did the job while Patrick did not
@@colin7360 in check, well, there is no bubble gut but the frame cannot change. His waist will always be problematic
Damn. That Victory pose is just phenomenal! Well deserved for the most underated!

Anybody else tear up when Sergio hit his father’s victory pose? 😭
If Sergio Jr ever wins the whole thing, the Arnold, THAT'S going to be a moment to remember.
What a moment! You could tell how proud Arnold was.
Sergio is what body building needs! He's legit unfiltered and honest
And very well spoken.
Brutally honest imo!!
It’s great that Arnold recognizes the heritage and history with this event, shows how humble he his and such a great person.
This should be viral.. piece of history 💪🙏
Sergio looked like he was about to cry for a moment there
Samantha Bailey well I was about to do it just watching!
Must've felt awkward for brandon curry 3rd wheeling their for a bit when he gave Sergio the prize
Sam Almond agreed. I wonder what he was thinking at that moment. Perhaps he was thinking that Sergio JR could be the future Mr. Olympia in a few years.
$10,000 for best poser is legit 💪
💯
Im pulling for Sergio to continue improving and making his dad even prouder than he already is
Bodybuilders always have the nicest voices, they always sound so friendly.

I thought Patrick Moore was going to place higher but after seeing this Sergio definitely looked great and definitely deserved his placing
Yeah, Patrick gotta step up to place near Sergio Jr.
Patrick got completely BTFO
Patrick was awesome at the Olympia but he has to do the work going forward.
patrick was out of touch with reality lol. with the hype-train behind him i can see how he became so delusional though
Moore has Moore potential. Sergios waist isn’t aesthetically pleasing unfortunately he wasn’t blessed with his fathers waist. Patric more by far has the most potential he just needs to nail everything, size, and condition
one of the best videos ever made. Thanks for posting nick.....
Arnold is great...
Absolutely Outstanding
It was so wonderful to see the respect Arnold and Sergio have for each other. Nick, thanks for showing the whole clip!
Bodybuilding royalty
What a touching moment and what a humble bloke Sergio is great routine great speech
Best moment!!!
This truly was a beautiful moment in Bodybuilding history. Sergio looked incredible and hope he comes back to win it.
Pretty sweet and heartfelt words by the man himself to a young lion
Just awesome!
What a great moment for both Arnie and Sergio Jnr just brilliant!!
A little bit more size and conditioning he will be in the top 3
Sebastián Rodríguez A bit less size on those obliques. 😬
Nah, his torso is weird and lacks mid back thickness
@@mk-19memelauncher65 What about his thighs????
Certainly the best moment!
It's so exciting Sergio posing with so many moves and such confidence and great physique too Thank you for being you

What a fantastic Arnold Classic year, for both bodybuilding and strongman.
sweet moment for bodybuilding, old and new come together.
Sergio sir is really watching u Sergio jr n giving u blessings
Your video and audio quality are always great, it's nice to enjoy a video and not have to crank the volume. Love your channel man!
Probably the 20th time I have watched this. Kind of gives you chills, when Arnold tells Segio, 50 years ago I was posing next to your father, here in Columbus.
That Victory Pose at the end was Epic! Very quick but Very Epic!
it's not the promoter or the business man here , it's the Arnold from his living room we got in this interview , no fake at all ....loooooove it !!!!
That was history in the making and it was so cool to see
Beautiful moment
He was Born thru Bodybuilding and I love the moment of passion, open mindedness that him and Arnold had during the quick pose.
What a moment for Sergio. His & Arnold's happiness is indescribable. Wish to see him as a Mr Olympia. He looked great so it means he can do it sooner. #bodybuilding fan #history lover just like Nick
This and when Dexter Jackson went back on stage are my favourite moments this year
I’m happy for Sergio Olivia Jr., that was a great moment for him. His posing routine was great. You could tell that he put a lot thought, time, and practice into that routine.

One of the best video so far.. Thanks a lot Mr. Nick... Regards from Bombay, India💪😊
I met him in Chicago at xport fitness he's a great guy.
He is incredibly articulate and it's a refreshing thing to see
Arnold’s got such class.....always loved him 🙏
Great moment from a legend to the future. Congrats Sergio, followed your progress, happy for a great accomplishment. Stay real Bro.
Arnold seemed pissed at the end when he asked him to make the victory pose, lmao
Cenk Uygurs nephew to me he didn’t remember how the victory pose looked like so he was just trying to gain time to remember that lol
@@cirostrizzi3760 could be that also lol
Of course Arnold wasn't happy doing that. He's not in the condition to be posing these days, nor dressed for it. If anyone else asked, he would've said no.
I think Arnold just didn't understand which pose for a second
Nope he said: which victory pose, I have so many victory poses
This is why I love bodybuilding
He is a real bodybuilder. Dude is awesome
Respect for these legends
That's my big brother and he's a great guy. He over came and went through a lot as kid and in his dad's old school and cop ways lol he making everyone proud and he won't stop ✊💪
Nice shout-out to Terrance Ruffin. That show of respect is class.
You are the best bodybuilding news source out there
I really want Sergio to be great because of his story. Until this show he was just disappointing, but with the massive improvements he made I am happy. His physique is somewhat similar to his dad, but he is not his dad. He is a great bodybuilder with his own unique physique.
