You heard right. That and his massive steroid use were the reasons for his heart surgery some years back.

I remember that article after his surgery in Flex I believe. He was eating something like 6-7 pounds of red meat a day. Combine that with steroid abuse and you're digging yourself an early grave.

Beattie was deaf, battled depression all her life and took her own life, Hillebrand, a great pro who's upper body never quite matched his world class wheels died of a heart attack in the gym aged 45 - pretty sad.

Mike after his heart operations
Stated in flex he wished he had continued driving his removal truck and never touched steroids or got into. Bodybuilding.

Lou Ferrigno and Flex Wheeler in the vid as well.
Why does it seem that as cheesy as these vids are from that era, that they are of better quality than these slick, cliche ridden vids of today?

Miss Beattie was a genuine beauty whom I believe, took her own life via hanging herself.  Drugs are hell on earth. 

By this time bodybuilding was well on its way to being nothing but a total drug fest.  It takes willpower to train hard with what nature gave you and nothing more.  Some used to say that the champs would still be champs without the dope but I doubt it. 

Don't believe me?  Two words.

he knew that heart issues ran in his family. And he was into bbing long before he was driving his removal truck. In Flex's Big Picture, there are pics of him in his boxing days (with a good pair of arms), and when he started lifting. It was him that decided to not just take all the drugs, but eat all that food.
And remember his dad died of heart issues, and his dad wasn't into bbing...

If he had used the services of a sports doctor to supervise his cycles, and monitor his blood-work, he would have avoided most of the sides that gave him that heart disease.

Hazbin said he himself is just under 5'10. So call it 5 9 1/2 for Hazbin...And in the picture he posted with Matarazzo, he's atleast and inch taller than Mike and probably closer to 1 1/2. So Matarazzo my be around 5'8 to 5' 8 1/2. Unless Hazbin is wearning shoe lifts ;D

Mike was the first pro I saw in person...Him and Dillet were doing a seminar...What left the biggest Impression on me was his calves...from the side, they must have protruded out a solid 6-7 inches to the rear...unlike anything I have ever seen , even to this day...he seemed like a cool guy-Dillet on the other hand, seemed like a douche begging people to buy his photos and whatever else he was hawking.
