Mike was a legend. Wouldn't make the top 20 now with those legs BUT great personality and incredible arms!! Was great to watch him psyching out Phil Hill at the British Grand Prix in 17-18 years ago....

One of the best backs, shoulders, traps and tris, forearms of anyone.  Alas, as was mentioned, he had by the day's standards, substandard legs.

was he just lazy in the gym?
was he a bar room bodybuilder?

or was he genetically cursed?

Loved the quote from Christian when he last made an attempt at a comebac when he said he stopped brushing his teeth prior to a show because toothpaste contains sodium. Hardcore.

Can some of the pro bodybuilders here speak about this?  Do you really cut TOOTHPASTE?

Dude was a genetic freak.  Strong too.  Didn't have the drive of some, and alas, I think that was his undoing.  He was always approachable at Venice, joked, laughed....  Wore his trademarked cut sweat shirt with traps, forearms showing, and when he got warmed, would take it off.  Dude was HUGE.
