It's all fun and games until he stood next to Doug Young, I'll find the pic later but it illustrates how much thicker powerlifters were than bodybuilders right before the insulin/HGH explosion hit the sport.
It's almost like the difference between Mike and Frank Zane only in the other direction, Young was a freak.

Not seen that pic.

Doug was a big man & great physique
World record bench presser
Died at an early age - cancer IIRC

Great shot there - might be well known but I'd certainly never seen it before - thanks for posting.  I've realised that my favorite pics of Mike (and Ray, for that matter) are where he is wearing his spectacles.  I don't wear glasses myself so I have no idea why I think this....

He died from a heart attack in a restaurant.

^ His slow bench descent was just crazy to watch and possibly a key component to his ridiculous chest size (slow negatives, wide grip were a major part of his "style"). I've read that Arnold himself consulted with him about bulking / adding mass? But like anything regarding Doug - details are few and far between. He was just a bit too early for much internet detail - I can probably find Eric Lilliebridges favorite color online but good luck finding out what rowing variations Doug favored!

Love the pictures of Mentzer with Roger Schwab.
Back when it was called Main Line Nautilus.
I worked there when it was Main Line Health & Fitness.

Roger was a great boss.

Yes he does.

And little more lower quads.
