Arnold the Early Years (DVD Version)

Apart from the 73 minutes of early contest and outdoor posing footage of Arnold and
Franco, the bonus material from this collector's DVD includes more recent out-takes,
on-stage and behind the scenes video from the Arnold Classic.

Firstly we see
Arnold on stage in England aged 19 on the 28th of January 1967, doing curls and then
guest posing. Next aged 20 while outdoors in a garden he pumps up with DB curls
before posing. This includes closeups of his amazing arms and is the earliest Arnold
colour footage we know of.

In 1970 you see Arnold as he wins his final
NABBA Universe in the Pro class. Also seen briefly are Draper, Zane, Columbu, Coe,
Beckles and more. This is followed by brief highlights from the 1970 Mr Olympia. The
Olympia footage is poorly lit but included in the DVD as it is so rare. See Joe present
the trophy to Arnold at this event.

A real highlight is Arnold guest posing
aged 23 in USA along with Franco posing at the same event.

1972 poolside
on the Gold Coast in sunny Australia, Arnold and Franco pump and pose both
individually and duo in a superb in-depth segment including more great closeups of
Arnold's huge arms. No other similar outdoor posing footage of Arnold was ever
recorded in his career. 1972 was a big year for Arnold as we see him defeat Sergio at
the 72 Mr Olympia in Essen, Germany. Posing also by Serge Nubret, Franco Columbu
and Arnold plus posedown and award for his 3rd Olympia crown.

In 1974 it
was back to Australia again for more guest posing, this time at the IFBB Mr Southern
Hemisphere contest, with posing also by the winner, Roger Walker, later 6th 1980 Mr
Olympia.

Next we see Arnold posing at the 1975 Mr Olympia in South
Africa, plus posing by Lou Ferrigno and Serge Nubret - the posedown and final award
again to Arnold.

In 1980 Arnold made his comeback in Australia at the Mr
Olympia contest held at the Sydney Opera House. It was to be Olympia victory # 7. See
his solo posing, many comparisons, compulsory poses and more as Arnold once again
stands victorious. Includes scenes of many of his closest rivals from Mentzer to Zane
etc. A tour de force with Arnold, since voted the most popular bodybuilder of all time.
