Bodybuilding writer Jerry Brainum is the guest this week on the Bodybuilding Legends Podcast to talk about the year 1977 in the Bodybuilding World. Jerry and host John Hansen discuss the major events that took place that year including the release of the movie "Pumping Iron", Arnold's first book Education of a Bodybuilder, Frank Zane winning his first Mr. Olympia title, why Lou Ferrigno didn't compete in the 1977 Mr. Olympia and did Robby Robinson deserve to beat Frank Zane for the Mr. Olympia that year? Jerry also talks about the big parade that preceded the 1977 AAU Mr. America contest in Santa Monica, California. At the end of the podcast, John reads an article from the May, 1977 issue of Muscle Builder magazine entitled "The Smallest Trophy He Ever Won" about Arnold Schwarzenegger winning a Golden Globe award in 1977 for the movie "Stay Hungry".
