-

-
That is a man who works out and has muscles...
-

-
great symmetry
shame though that at 51, he still is compelled to stay on the gear
I dare anyone to tell me that he is not on anything (besides HGH)

Why wouldnt he? He probably gets regular check ups and feels freat, Especially when he is On.

good point

good point
as long at the levels are pretty normal, I dont see the point in coming off at that age,
Why feel like 55 when you can feel like 30 again? =)
-
needs to bring up delts, calves too
-
He's good great muscle maturity. It's cool to see jacked guys in there 40's and 50's
-

i hope your joking..his delts are already to big for his chest and structure.
benfatto has a weird upper body structure and his delts are oversized. he had that problem earlier in his career too
-

::) hes 51, for gods sake.
Looks awesome! that taper....... :o......!
-
He looks amazing.
What's wrong with taking gear? He is not "compelled" to at all. He does it because he wants to. Good on him.
-
I love steroids! :D
-
Does look awsome... the right pec though, any info on that? Obvious tear but did he get surgery ever? Looks like mine even though i've had the surgery!

Baygbm, I know you like the older man, would you pick the Benfatto pictured with young Mike or 51yr old Benfatto?
-
too bad about his pec :-\
-
Discuss Mike's denim muscle pants...

I heard Mike raped Benafatto

No doubt. It's more about having your whole life revolve around bodybuilding at that age.
-

I would goof on them, but, sadly, I owned a pair, back in the day. :'(
Fortunately, there are no pictures. :D

the gist of my comment was that 50 yrs old is not, old. combine with gh/aas, any dedicated person could look great at 50 too.

Mike is dwarfing Mr O.

He doesn't need to bring up anything! He looks damn good...especially at 51yrs old.
-
MR OLYMPIA ......................(chris dickerson)
Did Chris offer to take you back for a 3way with him and moosey?
-
Damn it - that's a fuckin funny picture! I'm just sitting @ work trying not to laugh.
-
Looks better than the fatass blobs that compete today!
-
That's true. the guys these days look terrible.

So is it the younger or older one?

I wish I looked half that good when I was in my twenties and thirties.
-
When was this taken Mike? I am guessing 88/89 so Dickerson had been retired about 6 years?
-
Freak is an understatement

89- or 90 night of champions (Momo Bennaziza won/Yates in 2nd)
-
I wouldnt say better than ever. Looks like the drugs have caught up to his him in the mid section area.
Never forget that ad of him in black and white. Couldnt see his face but was a crazy pic.
Dont go lookin for it btw... I made the mistake of trying to.... :o
-

90 Then, Yates first pro contest. He said it was at that contest after seeing Momo's back and how good it was he resolved to get his back to the standard that he did. Also said that if he did not finish in the top 3 he would have given up Pro BB and got a real job! LOL
Good photo
-
shame though that at 51, he still is compelled to stay on the gear
should he let himself go like every other guy his age?

using gear responsibly is far less dangerous than drinking and smoking, which most 50+ people do and will die from.

Seriously??? Dude is over 50.... Looks better than most half his age...
-
Dont get me wrong he looks insane. Regardless of his age. I just prefered the way he looked back in the day. He waist was almost non existant.

was that the Pinnacle ad that you are thinking of (spread arms)? That wasn't him.
-
Damn no kidding?? All these years I thought that was him.... Who was it? Frank Hillerbrand?
-
I think you are right. Or Gerard Dent..not sure. I think it was Hillerbrand. I remember that was a great ad and don't think he even got paid for it.
Back in the day, supplement companies would just BBs photos in ads without even asking.
-
Mike, the pic in the back in the day (the outdoor shot) was taken 2006 when he was in Australia recently (his comeback show) Gary Philips from Flex took the shot.
-
lol!........................ let's not ;D
I had those denim pants back in the day to lol, both the crazee wear and the perfetto type, wore them all the time, haha how things have changed.
Benfatto looks great for his age, his midsection isnt as flat as it was even two years ago, must be plenty of cheap hgh in South Africa, at lease thats where i heard he was living these days, not that its huge but no doubt behind that muscular wall he looks a good 12 to 16 weeks in the first term. ;D

So you want all guys to take steroids but you don't take them yourself?
-

the SEAMEN provide him.

It's really too bad he tore his pec in his comeback. Otherwise, looks incredible!
He even had a great back:

Arvilla always cracks out the funky wardrobe pics with the pros. They're hilarious!
-
Does anyone know if he is still doing any type of Masters Competitions? Unbelievable physique for a guy his age. I'm 40 and it's definitely motivated me to keep it going. I would hate to think that men that age would still use gear if they weren't competing. I don't compete and at this age the main thing on my mind is staying as healthy as possible. Still looks great though.

If I'm not mistaken, and I don't think I am, you're standing in front of Beacon Theatre.
Another example of pro bbing's slide. The Beacon holds about 4k. The NY Pro is currently held in a venue that holds about 1000.

Once a BB, always a BB.
-
Damn the pec tear which ruin his artistic physic. :-\
-
"Back In The Day"
this pic is recent ....
I too am a fan of his physique
-
needs to bring up delts, calves too

-

You must be on crack : his delts are even today among the best , back was is worldcalss....and the calves are excellent ...
I hope it was a joke

God I wish I had a pic of Frank Hilebrand now to post.He trains local bodybuilders in Vegas for shows.When he athletes are back stage pumping up or on stage he is outside smoking a cigarette.He doesnt even train anymore, and he acts like he doesnt even give a FU#$# anymore.I talked to a few times, and he was kind of like a bitter jerk.I think he just trains people for the money, now and could care less about the sport of bodybuilding.

From Sugar Ray, the greatest aesthetic physique ever
-
"Back In The Day"
he looks incredibly anoyed by your presence in these shots.
man, how could you wear these pants, they were like 10 size too big, and they didnt quite fit with narrower shoulders than your waist.
-
looks damn good
not just for his age
-
that's insane for 51... he had some of the best shape ever. an exaggerated zane.
Yes, spot on. A Zane with extreme delts, great arms and calves, bigger legs. Best ever shape IMO was 1990 mr O.

Mike
Do you know where/when pics from?
