Bodybuilding Legend: “The Myth” Sergio Oliva

Sergio Oliva, “The Myth”, was a member of the Cuban weightlifting team. While the squad was in Jamaica for the Pan American Games in 1962, Sergio defected and made his way to the United States, eventually taking up residence in Chicago. Once there, he became a police officer and briefly continued to compete in lifting events before concentrating on physique exclusively.

Check out this routine of Sergio at the 1984 Mr. Olympia competition.

  • 'now I know why everybody called him the myth-arms'
    it was his actually due to his back and his incredible shoulder to hip/waist ratio.
