One of my favourite videos. Flex looks awesome - shame about the faggy head on him tho.

Mendenhall was huge, but smooth.
Amazing how small (in Ronnie terms) Ronnie was there, compared to now. Good back, tremendous arms, but the jump in size he made is astounding. Most people would assume there he was near his peak, but were they wrong...
Levrone was great, and got better too.
We all know the Flex story, how he boggled the mind with improvements.
Sad, was to see the waste of a possibly great career in De Mayo. He was always booked-up(along with his buddy Matarazzo)for guest-posing gigs, very popular guy.

Why dont ams look like that anymore ?

...EAT COCK
Ha ha! Let me get this straight. You're never on here, yet you've seen this video clip millions of times, yet I'm always on here and I've never seen it ::)
Either you spend all day on here LURKING (as my post said you dipship), or you're yet one more gimmik account.
Either way, consider yourself pwn3d!11!!

Matt has gotten ripped before, but I think it was only one time. Here is one pic for now. I think this was in 1982.

way to make this thread about king.

Matt's Lat spread pose would seem to compare well with the top 5 guys today! Simply huge! I'd never heard of him before but will check out some more pics. His waist was wide but it seems to have been his body style...real mass monster!

Moster "self-owning-out-of-pure-ignorance". Go back to playing with your mami's special edition Black-Mamba Dildo...

Another one. ;D
They should have just given him a pro card. I'll bet he would have improved even more once he was a pro.

I come here to learn...why the hate?

Wheeler looks fucking amazing in that video.

Discuss
1.) You just owned that cock munching ass goblin
2.) He doesn't seem to want to respond hence I have a feeling he doesn't mind sticking his cock between his legs and calling it a vagina
3.) HAHAHAHA he has a bunch of gay brothers!!!
Conclusion: His mom is probably still getting passed around, I know I wasn't the last guy in line.

Beast,
Thanks, Matt had a substance abuse prob, didn't he?
-
Demayo's quads were out of control!
Flex looked awesome! And so did Kevin!
Man, those guys had no guts and looked 1000x better than today's pros..
-

I thought he did like a Jay Cutler and gave himself so many years to win it (make it pro in his case) and stayed a few more then he wanted. I believe he retired on his own terms, is still in good shape looking solid and now owns a gym and trains people out in Montana or something along those lines.
-
Geez..
How short was the guy who interviewed Paul DeMayo? DeMayo was about 5'7" and towered over him.

I was thinking the same ;D, maybe he was standing on something...
-
Good vid, thanks for posting.
I think flex looked better standing relaxed, but in poses especially the Most Muscular, Levrone looked better (IMO). Tough class, Man I can't believe that the whole class turned out to be recognizable names later on in their careers. Something very rare these days.
Once again thanks for posting.

One of the best Mendenhall pics ive seen. Looks near perfect.

Check out who placed 6th and 7th...
6. Bob Cicherillo
7. Chris Cormier
Not sure...buy I believe Edgar Fletcher may have been 8th as well....
-
Cormier and Fletcher too :o
Wow.
-
Just kidding, Bob. ;D
You guys had a rough class that year, and you all made an impact on the pros except the impressive Fletcher and Mendenhall.
How'd it look to you when you first saw line-up? Who'd you think had it?
-

Levrone was the winner...by far. After that it was open...obviously Flex was going to be in the running..Mendenhall was smooth and could have been 3 spots lower...
-
it sounds crazy but Ronnie actually looked better there, he looked kind of small just standing relaxed and then he poses and suddenly becomes absolutely huge.
-
Beast,
Thanks, Matt had a substance abuse prob, didn't he?
apparently so. he was an alcoholic, or so i've been told.
he may not have become a pro, but he was tapping rachel mclish's ass on the regular so he deserves recognition. :P
matt had a huge frame with plenty of muscle. his legs, delts, back and chest had so much mass on such a wide frame. the only possible weakness would possibly be his bis which were a little flat. with such an enormous frame the guy needed to have enormous arms just to balance, kind of like kovacs...on second thoughts...not really. :-X
it would be interesting to find out how matt trained those wheels? they were massive, cut, balanced and the hammys were outstanding for his structure.
-

So you're perhaps saying yourself and Cormier should have been ahead of him?
Placing in the top 5 of a show like this (as you well know) can make a huge diff, as you get noticed and do better next one, which, no dissing Mendenhall is what hapenned with him, riding the Weider exposure wagon, guy was gifted, but never rose to occasion.

Easily....we were both better conditioned.

ahh, but conditioning isn't everything. ;)
i haven't seen you and chris from that show. got any pics/vid?
-

how did it feel being on the same stage as him Bob? ;D
E
-
I am not sure if it's just me, but I think most of these guys never looked better. They should have just stayed like that.
-
Wheeler & De Mayo improved, imo.
-
Some thoughts:
1. Demayo was the best poser?! And was his award made out of cardboard? Very professional, lucrative award.
2. If Demayo was the best poser, why'd they cut away from his posing to show him getting the award?
3. Flex looked incredible. Just one more year and he'd be the best the NPC ever saw.
4. Mendenhall needed Neal Spruce. He had phenomenal genetics but just couldn't put it all together.
5. Levrone had amazing legs back then. He peaked in the early 90's, I think.
6. If Ronnie could have just fixed his legs (i.e. calves) he'd have been amazing.
-
although Ronnie was ripped, he lacked a lot of fullness, size and width compared to his peak form.
its so strange watching him hit a rear lat spread and not being very impressive.. - who would have thought that would go on to be the best back in the history of the sport?
ya never know..
Kevin and Flex looked great...

See how far we've progressed. This lineup is better than every recent Pro lineup except for the Arnold and Olympia......16 years later.....

True.

I get what you're saying but I don't think it's progressed, I say It's regressed. Back then the Nationals class at an amatuer show was better than a current pro lineup. BB was at it's peak in the early 90's. Diuretics testing changed the direction of the Modern BB. It came about at a time when (96ish) when a few people were on the bubble of becoming mass monsters and there were some GH guts. Once the testing was instituted and competitors (and promoters) began to realize that the same level of crispness was never going to appear onstage again it seems like BB shifted into high gear and headed down the "bigger is better" highway.
Only a few over the past years have been able to get dry, vascular, and stay full when dieting down. It seems like there are more mediocre competitors today. Hell I think some are pro's because the IFBB says they need at least X amount of pro's.......
Just an early morning rant, I haven't had breakfast yet.
-
Keep in mind this was nearly 10 years after Matt hit the scene,he came close to beating Haney in 82,got sick in 83 when Paris won,lost to Christian in 84 and DeMey in 85 at the World Games.And has as been pointed out,he did get to do Rachel. ;D
-
This was sort of his comeback, if I recall.
