  • Sergio Oliva Olympic Weightlifting


    • Like many bodybuilders in the 60's, Sergio Oliva got his start in Olympic Weightlifting. In fact, he did well enough to compete for his native Cuba at the 1962 Pan-Am games. Though he was very strong, his Olympic lifting ability was actually hampered by his thin waist.

    The foundation built by Olympic lifting served Sergio well in his bodybuilding career though. Oliva went on to win the Mr. Olympia Contest in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
