Regardless of the "pros" getting bigger and freakier, I would still pick this look as the one I would work towards.

Amazing... really motivating to look at that. Full muscle bellies on a balanced physique that looks healthy. The muscle looks like it belongs there too, like it's his! He probably walked around in this condition or close to it consistantly. So different from what you see today and really impressive.

I copy pasted wrong image. The Ulyses douche has great lines though, fucked about with in most pics granted. The pic that first really inspired me bb wise was nubret.

I prefer the long and lean look. Just gotta love 40 years of progress ::)
-
For a few years at his peak, Mike was a good friend of mine to the point where I was instrumental in searching for his bro (long story for another time) to show up in time to win the NPC National Championships.
We had many discussions about the world of bodybuilding and I gotta say that of all the top pros I've ever met ... Mike was among the most intelligent.
More to follow if there is any interest.

Start it in another thread, not because it don't belong in this one, but because it'd be nice to have two threads about bbing going at the same time :D

Thanks, MIK, but it ain't long enough for another thread.
Short version ...
Ray was a very strange guy who appeared to be waiting for some form of hostility within the US. There may be lots more to that but I'm not knowledgeable in that regards.
Mike despised Arnold and according to many insiders .... had a right to feel that way as a result of the 'fiasco' in Australia and his affiliation with Mr. Weider.
I, myself, heard "stuff" from the judges of that event upon their return to the states regarding a 'questionable decision' but nothing more until the fans who were not there starting raising hell.
And when Mike and myself and most of the contestants had a 6 hours meeting after a local contest, it became evident that Mike was most hostile to Arnold and the IFBB officials who judged that event.
Notice that I am not saying that Mike was correct, but only stating the facts to the best of my recollection.
If you have a specific question, feel free to ask it here.

Wasn't he a drug addict at the time of the O, people forget it's not a contest it's a job interview for the future leader of the sport.
-
Was much too young to have that poster, but I had the opportunity to meet Mike, and speak with Mike rather frequently, both by telephone and by email.
Whomever has touched a weight in their lives, in the hopes of building a better physique, would obviously want to look like that.
This may sound silly, because all muscle is functional by its very nature, but Mike looks to be holding what is functional muscle, not excess or "bloofy" muscle.
There is not doubt he was assisted in his quest to build the optimal physique, but what is presented in your picture appears (especially to the mind of a late teen/early twenties trainee) to be attainable with loads of hard work.

SPOON, nice tribute to Mike who certainly deserved it!
MIK, the tern "drug addict" was not appropriate nor deserved back then .... and even today I resent the term when it comes to intelligent use of roids .
But regardless of my personal feelings, who are your referring to?
-
MAXKANE, I also had the opportunity to meet Nubret and Paco also and entirely agree with you that he was the best bodybuilder of his time.
I sat with Nubret on the Venice Beach wall for at least two to three hours as we talked about competitive bodybuilding and he felt that it was somewhat useless to compete within the IFBB against Arnold due to Arnold's influence within the IFBB,,,,, or something like that.
A darn nice guy and certainly deserving of your accolades.

they re all 160 lbs without the drugs...
-
Great everyday look. Easy to obtain without drugs.

Having read literally every word penned by Mike Mentzer, and for that matter Arthur Jones, one can easily see that Mike was an extremist.
I simply cannot fathom why, a man who scored the perfect 300, would diet the way he documented for the 1979 Olympia. Clearly, from even a neophyte's perspective, he overdieted with the hope of beating Zane at Zane's game: conditioning. What Mike was left with was a very flat chest.
One of the most impressive series of pictures I have seen is the ones where Mike is on the beach, and from the Universe win.

That look is perfectly attainable if you are willing to train hard but more importantly get on some steroid cycles.

I meant he was knowingly addicted to meth/speed, maybe I got my names mixed up, but one of the guys at the 80 was obviously left out because of speed, can't remember who.

Great upper body..but it looks like he has polio.
-
MIK, to the best of my somewhat limited knowledge Mike's 'addiction' was not until after he competed (and lost) against Arnold down thar in Austrailia.
My personal belief is that Arnold's 'dominance' was part of the reason why Mike had somewhat of a downfall back then.
Someone who was somewhat more associated with Mike back then at that time might be able to speak more appropriately on that subject than I am able to do so.
In the meantime, I can do some asking around.
-
What you guys are missing here (including Che who has been around longer than most of you others) is the spiderweb association of each and every relatively few bodybuilding competitors back then.
That 'association' is somewhat difficult to describe but competitive bodybuilding was so much smaller then and was never as 'abnoxious' nor political as some of you GetBiggers tend to believe.
But there was a 'fellowship' that tended to award the contenders.
I find it difficult to explain but maybe some of you Getbiggers who were a part of this game back then can elaborate without exaggeration or non-factual remarks such as personal sexuaL fantasies which appear to be so common on this board.
