Def. underrated right now...  Sick wheels on that man right there. 

He peaked at the 2003 British GP IMO where he owned Jay Cutler yet placed out of the top 3.

Mendenhall - Good grief, what a chest!  I'd seen him before, I never realized how big his damn chest was.

most competition bodybuilders seem to be lacking in the chest these days.  I blame Hammer Strength machines, and GH

Most underrated/underregarded - We'll probably all name a few...  I say Gary Strydom, Al Beckles, Robbie Robinson, and Aaron Baker.

Most overrated/overregarded - Cutler, now.  (Sorry, big guy.)   



Cutler just PM'ed me and told me that your apology was not accepted.

King - Scores points with me just for posing to Journey  ;D

Mendenhall - Good grief, what a chest!  I'd seen him before, I never realized how big his damn chest was.
"So now I come to you, with open arms." ::)
No, pro bodybuilding isn't gay at all..haha

Journey has some good tracks though.  If you're white and live in the suburbs and don't own Journey's GH's, something is wrong.

This physique was severely underrated. IMHO this is one of the best front double biceps ive seen!

I don't think Mendenhall was underrated. At the time many
pegged him as a possible future Mr. Olympia.
According to Flex Mag June 2007 he was 255 at the 1991 Nats
at 4 1/2 % bodyfat.
He states that he had a water retention problem that hampered him
his whole career. He states that FLEX Senior Writer, Julian Schmidt
would see him a few weeks out with striations on his glutes.
He found out later he had a bad case of Candida, so when he'd start
to carb load, the yeast would feast on the carbs and he'd retain water.

regardless of how he ended up i always thought Bertil Fox never got his due as one of the greats.

What really killed him and his career is his height.
With a few more inches I would have seen him placing well. Incredible arms on that guy, and he still has them!
