-

How many more times did Rory try for a pro card?
-
Rory should have won based on this video.
-
who, christian, or paris?
christian got a gift with 3rd. i would have had him 4th behind gaspari. paris deserved the win for sure
-

Rory and Mike both looked a lot fuller upperbody to me but there you go.
-
Mike's legs were disproportionately dinky in comparison to his upper body as well as the rest of the competitors legs. Both Rory and Bob had better overall physiques and in my estimation it could have gone either way but in this instance Paris was the winner.
To be honest, Mike should have placed fifth because of his sticklet legs. They need not be disgustingly huge like today's assclowns, but they should have been comparable to his upper body. Good physique, just not good enough to justify winning this one let alone getting third place.
-
guy in the red trunks... should have won
-
i am not sure about the 3 others because there posing routines are not on YT but from these 2 videos i think paris was better than rory!!..
-
Bobs structure is better but Rory was carrying more muscle.

I changed my mind after seeing the posing tbh.
Everyone looked great though, Bob deserved the win.

AAAHAHAAHH!! Good ole Mike Christian....epitome of the upper bb. Heavily muscled, shoulder-sloping upper body resting atop two broomsticks.
-

agreed
what a line-up though!
-
Bob Paris deserved the win. Always loved his posing too.

that's insulting............... ........................ ....to the broomsticks........
-
Rory got jobbed!
-
It was Rory's hair that iced the decision...
-
He's got no legs... what did he expect.
Word is Mike collapsed after leaving the stage because his lower body wasn't used to such herculean efforts.
-

hhahahhahahahaha
-
Rory was one of those guys who was always told, and therefore believed, he was a great poser when in reality he was awful. Always looking down and never holding the shots quite right.
-

This.
-
gh15? drug stacks of both athletes please :D

Yeah perhaps. But, back in the day at the gym where I worked out, Mike was squating with 700+ lbs, doing reps. I thought he was pretty amazing. Nice personality too.
-
i can think of several occasions where guys were assholes when they lost and they win their pro card the next year. it's like the judges are scared of another scene so they place the poor sports first.
-

If Mike Christian squatted 700lbs then I squatted 1400lbs.

+1
-
Bob was better than Rory on the night simple as. Have a look at the individual posing routines and you will see the difference.
-
Well, we know what happened after that...
Mike went home to beat his wife
Rich got famous
Matt gave up
Rory continued to get robbed
Bob kept on doing his thing
where did little Mike go?
-

Of course he was
-

I guess you squatted 1,400 lbs then.
There is no reason for me to make this up. He was working out at the Matt Dishman community center, which is now and was then a free public gym and weight room on Knott St. in N.E. Portland. This was in the mid 1970's right before he won Mr. Portland in 1976. I also worked out at Matt Dishman at the time. Chuck Amato worked for Portland Parks, managing the weight room.

Roid Rage

oh brother
-
I think Mike was equally shocked when he placed 4th at the 1987 Mr. Olympia contest to Lee Haney, Rich Gaspari, and Lee Labrada. He was big and in condition but I guess the judges felt Lee and Lee had a better structure and Rich was harder.

"let's be good sports on stage too..." ha ha... sore loser.
Hahaha! I didn't know you were actually quoting that from the video till I watched it. And the look on Mike's face after she said it...wow...
-
Mike was
squatting cor leg pressing with 700+ lbs, doing reps
-
Christian was known to be a lazy fuck in the gym and then a total dopehead at the end of his career.
-
mike was the epitone of a gh15s description of a pro...narcotics (coke), lazy and all drugs overall...he had a good upperbody anyway and a great personality
-
I would have cried too...Christian was the clear winner
-
lee haney once said in an interview something like mike was the only guy in his era who had the potential (genetics) to be like him but he was lazy and not serious as him so would never be mr. olympia..

He had the height 6'1" but he needed more size to fill out that frame , his legs sucked even for back then his delts , triceps and chest were all fantastic but like DeMey he always looked stringy next to Haney
-
Great contest. Real cool time to be a bodybuilder. . . that time is long gone.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; nobody, absolutely nobody I ever saw at Gold's Venice in all those years, and I saw everybody. . . nobody could build muscle and change his physique as fast as Mike Christian. He could have been Coleman before Coleman was Coleman.
-
What bodybuilders should look like.

Nope on that day long ago, I was on the leg press when Mike was squating 700 lbs.. I have skinny 25" quads. These days, I leg press 900 lbs @ 6-8 reps. It's easy to push a lot of weight on a leg press....squating is another story.
