Sergio was perhaps one of the most genetically gifted men to ever train with weights.He looks better to me than any of the more modern current bodybuilders on the scene today.These two shot`s are from the 1972 Mr. Olympia that Sergio lost to Arnold but in my opinion he should have won it as he was in probably the best shape of his competitive career!!

An awesome "Most Muscular" shot by Sergio showing his extreme mass! A great back shot of Oliva as only he could do it.

A very early shot of Sergio!! Sergio"The Myth" Oliva,battling Robby "The Black Prince" Robinson! Sergio has faced all the top guy`s from the mid-sixties to the eighties. An early shot of Arnold and Sergio in a break from training at the Duncan YMCA ,Sergio`s training headquarters in Chicago! Another from the same day!!

The 1984 Olympia against Tom Platz.Sergio got a disappointing 8th. place.Many felt he should have placed higher.I beleive he was 43 years old here.The oldest contestant in the show and still one of the best in the top 10!
