Great posing routine.

That front double bi at 3:20 is damn impressive. Great arms. Were people using synthol back then?

not sure if you matching up to him but actually bigger!
cant tell with the angle, but you may be wider?

from the pros i've met i think my measurements were similar, my muscles just didnt' 'pop' like the pros. my arms were big in the insertions, so i didn't have that difference in size at the joints. i always trained super heavy and i'm pretty sure it caused alot of connective tissue growth, which turned out to be a bad thing. the pros have super tiny joints, making the muscle look more dramatic.

I've got some pics of me and Mike stashed somewhere. I gotta go look. Mike has that tiny head, which in turn makes his body look even bigger.
It's hard not to just keep staring at his insane calves when you are around him. These days? Not so much. His calves are still huge, but he is a LOT smaller.
As far as Synthol, I'm pretty sure it was more of a site-injection thingy. It looked like he used the same spot over and over. I actually have some pics that show big-azz purple welts on both biceps and triceps that look like nasty spider bites. Either way, he injected deep enough into the muscle that he didn't have that bulbous (like that word?)- swollen, blurry red look that so many guys have from only tapping the surface.
It's pretty scary shit. I think a few of the "smarter"(?) Pro BB's would have someone who was knowledgeable (like a doctor-ish type) of person do the deep injections. That way you could push the muscle up from deep inside and NOT hit any arteries (whatever) or nerves.
For awhile there, some of the Amateur shows were getting pretty stupid with the Synthol surface delt injections. I mean, these guys would literally walk out on stage with sharp points on the lateral heads of their delts. It was so obvious it was almost embarrassing.
Then there's the monthly pics of Greg the Dipshit Valvolino posting up every month in MD as if that type of thing is cool...
Whatevah.

Too bad what happened to Mike seems like a really cool guy and he truly was a mass monster.
I don't think synthol use was wide spread, but esiclene use sure was...
-
he also had very good delts and at times, crazy conditioning.
surely he was using seo's, not necessarily synthol, though. great arms nevertheless!
is the peanut butter thing true, dyslexic?

Mike was one of the early pioneers of site injections in the arms. You can see an injection site bruise on his right biceps and a lump from a day-or-two old injection site on the same biceps. You can see the scar tissue build up on the left triceps too. Those are visible all around the 3:00-3:30 time range.

Back in these days Esiclene was the choice. It was a short lasting swell, I had friends that used it to compete, put it in their calves and bi's....swelling was nice and back to normal in 3-4 days.....no residual effects..
Not sure why it became defunct. I heard Flex would use dozens of esiclene shots in his back to make it pop.
Synthol wasnt around then and if it was, it was only a posing oil

You do have some brutal looking forarms in that pic! Did you ever compete?
Mike M was a cool guy, and one of my favorite all time pros.

His conditioning was so-so, I have the 93 Mr. O, and he was a crowd favorite, but he lacked a good chest, back, okay abs, decent leg detail, he was arms and calves, and even his arms were not all that. They lacked detail, they were of the "sasauge arm" variety...when he did a double Biceps shot, he clacked the detail split between bis and tris, and his arms lacked that real "pop" to them...bis were big, just lacked detail, that Pro contest award winning detail, he was good for getting the crowd involved, that was it.

You look big and impressive but perhaps you don't pop when on stage. I always had to suck down under 200 to get that really ripped look and then was not as thick at 5'10". No matter, you impressed us here at get big with that massive formarm
-
my biggest problems were - i never competed two years in a row, they don't see you if they aren't looking for you, and i always missed my peak.
here's me in 1991 weighing 240 (5'9.5") and again in 2007 weighing 234.5 onstage

yes, great arms and calves, but mismatched physique, did a lot of guest posing with de mayo, both were huge fan favorites
he had poor upper pecs, back, long torso, and not the best shaped thighs, did come in great shape at the usa and couple of shows. he almost died the one time he came in looking like a muscled cadaver(you know what I mean ::))
