Trained like a beast, a bit to much of know-it-all, died to young, shoulda beat Arnold at the O.

I got to meet him and Boyer Coe at a
small seminar they did in my city in 1981-82.
I got to talk to both of them quite a bit
because I was an inquisitive 16 year old.
He was still in good shape and big.
His training theories in part had a lot of validity.
Just listen to the 1st 15 seconds of this video.

Validity for sure, though Mike got obsessed by the volume dilemma... Arnold was a high volume guy and Mike was keen on proofing him wrong - for all eternity  8)
I've read Mentzer's 5 books and tried it to a T for about 2 months.... though this is very short if you take into consideration I trained every 5 or 9 days.

Mentzer, Coe, Zane, even Dickerson, Roger Walker, Roy Callender and possibly even Tinnerino due to conditioning all were superior to Arnold that day.

That is likely true...Waller was very strong, played football as a pro in Canada, and was known to be a fighter

Yes, he was of the school of thought of nothing but water, fish, salad and vinegar befor a show....and then would binge after on like 12 restaurant entrees, going from restaurant to restaurant...

Nah, he'd have a combination of about 12 from 2-3 different places....I heard he ate 30 lobsters once, of something to that effect

Whats your opinion about this bodybuilder?  His name was Mike Mentzer

Never heard of him.

Cool info - is there any material where Ray was 270?
Read this somewhere - doubt it is for real....

I would imagine it was a soft 270 if that is in fact true.

There was a picture posted a few years back of Mike in 1987 that looked like he never trained a day in his life.  Apparently Jeff King really went downhill by 1987 also and apparently looked like nothing too.  I would like to see these pictures if anyone has them.

I competed against (got killed by) Jeff King in 1980...I was 16, he was 19...cleaned up in both teen and open in the Central Western CT Champs(he really had no business being in it)....today he is a trim 190-200 and is a physical therapist

Waller was Arnold's bodguard.  If you had a problem with Arnold then you'd have to deal with Ken's fist.

Did HIT for a year, average results gained a bit of weight fat not doing volume but strength levels stayed about the same lost about 20% of muscle but if you are only going to work out 3 times a week for half and hour at a time its worth a go.

Mentzer was my pick for the 1980 MrO Dickerson looked good,Zane was sick and down in weight,Arnold was not at his best ,atleast it had more integrity than the 1981MrO

But do you think he has the facial hair development (being blonde and all) to grow such a magnificent beard?
