On that DiPasquale time. Looks pretty awesome here though. I can't find his '92 WBF routine anywhere... anyone got that? Need a laugh.

Big dude.
No relation to the other Mike Quinn ;)

94 night of champions

Look at those biceps. :o

Fantastic physique. Always have to chuckle when I see pictures of him or Defendis because they remind me of Chevy Chase.

Looks like he has a gym down in Florida and is training people. Counting sets and reps and living the dream. Must be hard to go from top pro to meh.

What exactly does "on that DiPasquale time" mean?
(Answer: It means nothing at all. You're a moron.)

Mike has stated he was 250 for that show. Said it was the only time he did GH.

As long as he can work in the environment he loves it's more than ok. As far as I can remember he had a car accident? and had to have his back fused - really shitty.

One of the very rare, very few that had the chance to be a Mr. Olympia. He never fulfilled that potential but he could have beaten Haney. Could have- never should have.

His legs were never up to par, a bit like Johnnie Jackson.

TOMMY I watched a recent interview great stories he told,,,he had a look and sound and act like was an 'asshole'in his prime and he probably was but...
he came up young teenage as was right there with eddie robinson he stated strength or close and build..
he won or showed well in both aau and npc before turning pro,,,
had great arms/back was wide 'thick'
sorta barrel chested/waist as he got bigger more or less apparent
legs sweep and calves and more balance in legs could have put him over
he has some good showings in late 80's mro's...
as with most post wbfer's 94 on they all had there best looks ,baker/him,dearth,strydom 'that was a given'demey was his biggest'88 his best'
-

Without a doubt. His legs could have improved and Haney's legs of course we're never as crazy as his torso. Quinn had size, shape, V-taper and the thickness needed to beat Haney, he simply regressed too soon and then it was over.
When Quinn posed, things had that crazy "pop" that you either have or you don't have. It can't be trained.

In my opinion Quinn was just not disinclined enough. He liked that "crazy, I'm a bodybuilder, superstar, wild man" image. The complete opposite of Haney or Dorian.
I saw Haney and Quinn side by side in the gym several times and Quinn always held his own. Unfortunately whereas Haney improved ever year, with Quinn you had no idea what to expect.

YES I got it!!!

An older friend of mine who was far more into the bodybuilding lifestyle I ever dreamed of getting into once trained with Quinn.
My friend became very disillusioned with one of his "heros" after hanging out with Quinn. While my friend no doubt did what it took to compete at the highest level at that time in the NPC, he never tried a drink of alcohol, never had a cup of coffee, and never did any illegal drugs. He assumed all of those guys at the top lived like it was portrayed in the magazines.
He was very wrong and realized very soon that there was a large percentage that were social misfits who partied very hard.

I've heard that Mike Quinn was quite the power-bottom.
-
THIS WAS GOOD...
-
I enjoyed it. He was about to say some incriminating stuff about Gary Strydom being a pedo before the guy cut him off. listen closely. Start at 16:00
-
Good interview, what he was going to say about Strydom? Lol... Never had the best structure for bodybuilding and he was a bit blocky, but Quinn was thick and dense, great back and arms, strong guy too...
-
Except for the Michael Bolton hair he looked great! Doom approves.

I recall his sister died of a drugs overdose and he went off the rails between 88 when he looked fantastic and 89 when he came back all watery.

He was going to say Strydom was a pedo. That's pretty clear to me.

Mike Quinn is posting here as chaos...

It seems so, the interviewer stopped him changing topic fast, on a "no-filter" interview...

Quinn's best showing was 89 Olympia where he got 7th. I saw Quinn win the Florida,and Eddie Robinson win the Teenage Florida the same year.

Gary Strydom lives in Thailand now, and doesn't appear to have slowed down at all if his Facebook pics are anything to go by ...

Now you know why Strydom moved to Thailand.

Just left the gym and there was an incredibly creepy dude there wearing a shirt that said Thailand on it. I went to the guys at the desk and asked if they could do something about the pedophile in the Thailand shirt.

Mike rocks.
-
Mike has stated he was 250 for that show. Said it was the only time he did GH.
I remember he said he noticed people were afraid of him while prepping for the show, due to him
being so crazy from all the drugs. "I did what I had to do" :D He also said he used so much he got jaundice.
I remember hotel staff found GH in his fridge at the last WBF show, when he was so fat. :D

I assumed he was referring to ladyboys.

Does Gary Styrdom own the gym? If so, you may be out of luck...

Thanks for posting this.
Mods sticky this video.
This Mike Quinn video should be mandatory viewing for all getbig members.
-
In reference to that video; the one thing that I disagreed with Mike was the Strydom/Christian placings in 1991.
I don't think that anyone could've or should've beaten Gary. Yes, his back was not great. But he had enough to win.

Disagree, Strydom got destroyed when he turned around when he competed in the IFBB.

Agree.
