That is a great shot of the 1976 AAU Mr. America most muscular segment.  Back when a lot of the guys had real jobs. Joe Means was smaller than all of them by a lot but he won most muscular because he was so ripped. He was a cop. Pat Neve is a multi millionaire driving more exotic cars than Trump. Clint was a chiropractor.

that's strange because i just read about guys at this one gym getting wide shoulders because it had a low ceiling and they had to do shoulder presses seated, makes sense  you get little push from the legs seated giving more of the emphasis to the shoulders when pressing.
seated is of course stricter. i find Military press great seated with the bench inclined to Support my back..i can concentrate on my delts. I do enjoy them Standing too but with clean and press... do what you wanna do... ;D

CF was a crazy bastard. Trained at Pearls when I was a kid. Mooned the judges at the Mr. America and got disqualified.
I remember hearing about that Joe.  LOL  :D

McDonalds diet too!  ;)

Great shots guys and I also love that `76 Mr. Americas pic.


Let`s also not forget how Sergio got constantly robbed in the AAU,just like Grymko and Lurie.

Val should have been crushed by both the legendary Bill Seno and the Myth.........if the AAU was fair back then.

The interview part of the contest before the actual contest probably didn`t help Sergios cause as he was Cuban,plus he was black.

Not to make this racial (but I`m gonna` anyway),lots of top guys like Poole and Oliva went over to the IFBB because in reality,even a guy as good as Bob Gajda was when he won,he was no match for Oliva.

Same with Melvin Wells,Art Harris,Rock Stonewall,Ken Covington,etc. etc.,all should have been placed much better ,and they would have been if based on physique alone.

The last guy #22 is a friend of mine. Jimmy Gaubert. He is only about 165# there when he won the Mr Universe. He still trains today and is close to 70.
