Rarely do I see a BB with a passion to lift for the sake of lifting. Usually there are other motivations involved. Most deflate into fat old men when they retire. Me, I love to lift and plan on looking like I lift as long as I can.

THE BEEF
Mike was a Good Bodybuilder with a Great Back and arms, however his Quads and calves were sub-par even bye 80s standards, he brought alot of electricity to bbing back in the 80s and more than likey was the first to really "pump up the crowd" with that type of posing witch was Fairly new back then with the "come on" and fist pumping and was probably imo a Better Entertainer than Top Tier Bodybuilder with his Best being 6th in L.A @ the 1988 O

Mike was an ok bodybuilder who thought he was always being overlooked by the judges. The reality was that he
just wasn't good enough. I know because I was one of the judges.

Even then, didn't he flunk the drug test? ;)

The best footage of Mike out there's from the second Vince McMahon Schmoemanshipcontest in '92.  He was REALLY fat and started his "routine" in a straight jacket behind bars.  If you ignore the hideous spectacle before you and close your eyes, the pitch of his voice ("Arrrrgh, gotta get outta here!") and grunting noises he makes sounds JUST like Pee-Wee Herman :D 

When he finally comes out and starts posing, even the commentators point out what a fat fucking PIG he is.  Quinn blamed that DePasquale guy and his high-fat diet for that, but we all know it was the drug testing. 

Btw, funny how Big Wig Gary seemed to escape that test, nay?

Mike "might" have run out of money for drugs... he's always been an astronaut so saving an SOS stash for an appearance never crossed his "mind".

Gary didn't escape that test. Heck, he was at least 10 pounds smaller than he was in 1991. Most of the WBF guys have stated that they were all tested, from Strydom on down.

just wasn't good enough. I know because I was one of the judges.

Placing top 10 at the Olympia multiple times, back then, meant you were among the best in the world. Quinn did that.

I'm not so sure about the hardness/conditioning. To me, he looked a bit more sliced than '91. My guess is that knowing he couldn't keep his '91 size, he concentrated on being in shape.

Jim Quinn claimed that the reason he and Strydom didn't look as bad as some of the others is that they were superhuge in the off-season (Quinn over 300 lb, Strydom just under that), before the testing started. Plus, Jim Quinn bragged about his heavy training was the reason he didn't shrink as much as his fellow WBFers.
