Larry Scott (1938-2014)

Larry Dee Scott, also known as "The Legend" or "The Golden Boy", was an American professional bodybuilder and physique model with one minor acting role during the 1960s. He played "Riff Muscle Man" in the 1964 film Muscle Beach Party as well as playing himself in the 2012 documentary entitled Evolution of Bodybuilding.

Standing at only five feet and seven inches Larry wasn't the tallest bodybuilder during the Golden Era but his physique pervades through the decades.

Larry developed his jaw-dropping biceps using a body part split and low carbohydrate diet. Larry typically followed the high-volume high-frequency body part split framework commonly employed by other elite bodybuilders during the 1960s.


Dave Draper (1942-Present)

David "Slick" Draper, also known as the "Blond Bomber", was an American professional bodybuilder and actor active during the 1960s. Dave featured in seven different films produced between 1963 and 1969, playing roles from "Muscle Man" to "Harry Hollard".

Dave took a balanced approach to nutrition, emphasizing the elimination of processed junk food, and trained using a body part split. His combination of proper nutrition, training, rest, and hard work resulted in him winning Mr. American in 1965, Mr. Universe in 1966, and Mr. World in 1970.


Sergio Oliva (1941-2012)

Sergio Oliva, also known as "The Myth", was a Cuban professional bodybuilder active during the 1960s and featured in four films between 1971 and 1977. Oliva was a member of the 1963 Cuban National Weightlifting Team during the Pan American Games, was crowned Mr. Olympia three years in a row (1967-1969), and one of just three bodybuilders to ever outplace Arnold Schwarzenegger during an elite-level bodybuilding contest.

Standing at 5-foot 10-inches Sergio placed first in 20 bodybuilding competitions ranging from Mr. America to Mr. Olympia between 1965 and 1981. Like many Golden Era bodybuilders during the 1960s Sergio ate ample amounts of protein and carbohydrates every couple of hours and trained using a high-volume body part split.


Impressive especially in the light that: These guys took only a fraction of 'whey' that IFBB pro's are taking in now. At this time there wasn't even something against gyno yet, so they had to use such a low amount of whey that resulted in supraphysiological levels but still very low to prevent formation of bitch tits. Very interesting cause they had to take such a low amount of whey that nowadays gets chit on on forums like whey-nation (go all out!!, if you do it do it right, the scoop of whey you take isnt worth the risk, etc) but obviously it was also very effective - and these amounts of whey are generally deemed safer because risks correlate with dosage.
