Zane had one of the most perfect physiques ever. Small by today's standards but he looked fantastic in his prime.

My all time favorite Mr Olympia . I tried to emulate him ...and failed .
Thanks for posting a great pic and starting this thread, Coach.
I thought Zane was at his best in 1979. I was there in Columbus OH and it's the last Olympia I attended. :-[
-
Is that the contest where Mentzer had a perfect score and lost in the pose down?

Bhank has thicker hands and head.

Nope. Mentzer won the 1978 Hvy wt IFBB Universe with a perfect score .
I also think he won an IFBB Grand Prix with a "perfect score" but not the Olympia.
In 1979 the IFBB Olympia had under/over 200 lb classes ( *Arnold won the over 200 and Franco the under in 1975 Pumping iron)
I was there seated close to stage in 1979 and saw it live.
Mentzer looked bloated and lacked cuts next to Zane for the overall finals.

I did. He posts some phenomenal pics on his stories especially the women. This was from his stories this morning

Zane, like many of the guys from the past, did more than just schmoe-pose also.
He did some Powerlifting, O-Lifting, even did some steel bending.

That's a still from a beer commercial Zane was in.

At his best:

At his best:
Incredible pic ! Only reinforces my admiration for Zane in his prime.
-
Zane was one of my earliest inspirations.
A perfect example of what I was trying to explain to Bhank..........Zane at 195 pounds blows his 238 out of the water yet he`d still say, "Yeah but my arms are bigger"......................ID IOT KNOWS JACKSHIT ABOUT BODYBUILDING.
-

Yup, but he did do PL and O-Lifting early on... Well known...

At his best:
D-Mass took that pic of Frank. And some others of Mentzer, etc in that same hallway, at a show (out back).

Yes he did.
Went to Daves house and he showed me a lot of contest pics and I`m like Damn Dave you smoked these guys.................... .he told me at times he didn`t even place.
Had him going up against John Giralamo in one contest ....anybody remember him.....Dave looked awesome but told me Girolamo won the contest and Dave didn`t even place.....if I recall correctly.
This is going by my old memory but the scenario was the same.
Dave got robbed a lot IMO.

Do you have links of the Mentzer pics?

What's the link to Glass' site. Never heard of him before.

You keep saying that but then I look and see cuts and veins everywhere. I think me leaned out would around 210 would compare favorable to Zane. But I am over being lean I am pushing 230 and looking North calves still need more have only had a calf raise a couple months. I need another 6 next summer they will be cows
You want to talk actual bodybuilding fine I am too heavy to make 200 or 205 I would also be to thin on stage even at 212 I am 511 and need to be a lot heavier than that to fill or my frame. So the only option is open heavyweight which means I need a lot more size. I am too big for the light heavy and classic and too small for open heavyweight so yes I would ha e to grow into a show as would need to be at least 240 my 225 is lean enough if I could add 15lbs I would do well as a master competitor but again only option is to add 15 otherwise no point as too heavy and wouldn’t be full enough in lighter classes anyway
Zane being 185 doesn't mean I can make 185 or under 200 or 205 my classic height limit or 212 I am too heavy for all those divisions and legs are still not thick enough for stage. My frame needs more size and weight than that
511 225 lean doesn't win a show in 2021 I know that but that doesn't mean it isn't jacked

Ummmm...ahhhh...No. Nope. Not a chance, kiddo. This is where genetics benefit from dat dere stayroids. ;D
Zane possessed a far more favorable set of muscular parameters than you, me and pretty much anyone here. No drugs and he would have been dinky. On drugs he was the personification of exceptional aesthetics. In contrast, Arnold was the embodiment of "maesthetics" but Zane, like Arnold, was and remains in a class of his own. To me, Steve Reeves is the greatest genuine natural bodybuilder by far and easily the most handsome. I have met Zane as did my older brother. A gentleman in person and without a doubt one of the true all time greats in the world of physiques.
You have a good physique. Do not continue to make more of what you present to the world at large here until it is truly worthy of doing so. Hopefully you understand that which I am trying to tell you.

Zane is not a large man I am the bigger man

And to think he lost to that droopy chest/weak armed Chris Dickerson.
Another one that got robbed that night was Casey Viator.
This is one unjust win I can't figure out. I understand Franco in 81, Jay over Martinez, Yates over Nasser that last year, Phil over Ramy when Ramy was dialed in... the name recognition and politics all played a role but what the heck was the appeal of Dickerson? This was before the gay, Black, woke culture was in place. And enough of the "he gave blowjobs to the judges" B.S. Did the judges really think Chris had a better physique than Zane and Viator?

So you are playing the role of size queen? Say it ain't so, bro. And no. I am NOT joking. If you continue in this then it is only because the Farce is with you. I have been much larger than you but that does not make me "better" on the dais and it has been decades since I entered a competition.
This moronic hegira of yours no longer borders on self flagellation of Catholic proportions. If you wish to play the fool, then by all means, play on but pray spare us the faux indignation. Trust me. It has become quite threadbare of late. Do not be another fish.

I am not a mass monster but I am 225lbs and as lean as I want to be. I am a larger man than Frank Zane he is shorter with a smaller bone structure. I have been shredded and 195-200lbs been there done that not the goal now. You guys want to play who is the best 195lbs have at it. I am going to 240

Well said, sir. I would hazard a guess that Dickerson became the anal humidor for every judge that lusted for a trip down his personal Hershey Highway...UGH! He looked like Curious George with pointy elbows, disgusting bunions, saggy pecs and other than calves, nothing to brag about.
Padilla was robbed as was everyone that competed that night.

Then I leave you to play out your worn out role of size queen and self-flagellate yourself stupid. Again, you are built far better than I, but for the record, 240 lbs. of crap is still just crap, albeit a LOT of it, LOL!

I’m no Zane, he was damn near perfection and one of my all time favorites..... this is as close I got when I was 47
-

Frank would not even be an open division competitor today he would be classic or physique. Zane was in shape but after that all illusion he had no real size

He would be as a light heavy and in that shape would win

If you stood next to prime Zane he would dwarf you. On paper you weigh more, making it look like you are bigger but his proportions, shape, symmetry will beat you
Genetics are everything
That being said I hope you go up to 250+ it’s the only way
-

IS THIS IDIOT FUCKING DELUSIONAL OR WHAT?
COMPARING YOURSELF TO A PRIME FRANK ZANE...........a guy who won 3 Olympias.
Seek help bro, you are fucked up in the head !!
-
In 1978 Mentzer won the Mr. Universe in Acapulco with a perfect 300 score and in 1979 he won the heavyweight class of the Mr. Olympia again with a perfect 300 score.

The smaller bone structure was to his advantage.
With his muscle bellies, makes his physique look a lot more dramatic, and from a bodybuilding perspective better.
His aim was to look like a Greek statue, not to be as massive as possible and play the size game.

stop focusing on weight it does nothing for you
Kevin Levrone was 240 you will look like you don't train next to him
Thierry Pastel was 180 :D your 195 looks like pure shait next to that

Doubtful.

with all due respect, you look like 20 pounds of shit in a 10 pound bag.

Dave Mass told me that Makkawy weighed around 165 pounds and Bhank called him a midget in another thread.
Makkawy would wipe the floor with him 100 times out of 100 times.
Guy is hung up on weight......sure he weighed more than Zane but Zane makes him look like a novice lifter.....this cat knows jackshit about bodybuilding !!

He would be the smaller man I am bigger than him. He might win in the judges book but I would dwarf him I am 30lbs heavier and 2 inches taller. Its not like I have a belly I am bigger. Put us both in a t shirt and he is a child standing next to a man

YOU KNOW JACKSHIT ABOUT BODYBUILDING !!
What a stupid person you are for being an educated man or is it just your narcissism that wont allow you to ever concede defeat even against a pro bodybuilder......you always have a ridiculous comeback comment even if compared to Ronnie......you need mental help dude.you`re a mental mess hung up on thinking you are all that and a bag of chips when clearly you are not.
-
Zane also claims to have been 220lbs off season which at 59 makes him just about my exact same damn size he wasn't walking around 195lbs
In fact if you look at his claimed measurements they are almost the same as mine.
If I was a betting man I would say I am the closest physique size and condition wise to Zane on this site. He claimed 18 inch arms at 195lbs after cutting from 220lbs. I am just shy of 19 at 225lbs and 2 inches taller. His thigh calf and chest and waist measurements are all about the same as mine. His hips are smaller
https://fitnessvolt.com/13762/frank-zane/
If these measurements are accurate we are almost the exact same damn size with me being a little bigger 2 inches taller of course these measurments for Zane may be inflated
-
Light Heavies are 5 foot nothing in 2021
Zane would not cut it in 2021 that is not bodybuilding in 2021 you are all living in the past. Nick Walker is bodybuilding in 2021. Zane doesn't even make the call out.
-
Zane lifting about 400lbs.?
Doubtful.
https://fitnessvolt.com/15826/steve-stanko-strongest-mr-universe-day/ of course. there were very few men who totaled over 1000 lbs in the olympic lifts who also won the aau mr america contest. steve stanko was the first to do both. sergio o was close and might have.

I know a lot more than you have you seen your competition pics it looks like a childrens pageant. Of course you think size doesn't matter you have none. Neither you nor Zane was ever this big and jacked

You just know nothing about bodybuidinig, nothing to how to not hurt yourself, what is aesthestic, proportion, muscularity and what is an outstanding physic
could you beat Bertil,Zane did. never talk about body weight and poundage used in the gym, It's useless when it comes to true bodybuilding

Just because some white judges voted for a 190lb Zane doesnt mean he actually beats Bertil in anyway
-
Zane at 47 hate to break your hearts but my Arms are bigger my forearms are twice his size my shoulders and frame are also just bigger. Put us next to each other in a t shirt and I dwarf him by 35lbs of lean muscle and my forearms are twice as big and developed with more detail he has child like forearms looks to be 190lbs tops
-
Just because some white judges voted for a 190lb Zane doesnt mean he actually beats Bertil in anyway
Bertil was not really that good. Watch videos of him instead of still photos. He was a great gym bodybuilder but not so much onstage.
-
I see what bhanks is doing..... :D Unless he is completely off his rocker.
-
Just because some white judges voted for a 190lb Zane doesnt mean he actually beats Bertil in anyway
Your credibility just took a dive. You must be caucasional. Thanks.

Frank Zane was not the best bodybuilder in 1977 either. The Olympia didn't invite everyone. Pete won Mr World that year with a better build
-
I know a lot more than you have you seen your competition pics it looks like a childrens pageant. Of course you think size doesn't matter you have none. Neither you nor Zane was ever this big and jacked
Zane looked like living sculpture, you look like a Salvador Dahli melting clock painting by comparison.
Half your body is torn up.....you would have never beaten me when I was dialed in regardless of weight........trust me on that genius.
Right arm 2 X smaller than left arm.....3 pec tears, big gut even though you`re cut, no legs..........even worse than my pathetic legs, and zero lats...... for a guy that`s such a "beast" you ain`t shit !!
-
He would be the smaller man I am bigger than him. Put us both in a t shirt and he is a child standing next to a man
GEEZUS what a fucking clueless fuck you are.
We`re talking about Zane here you niywit.... he beat tons of guys that weighed far more than you do and they looked incredible you fucking imbecile.

I have crohns which causes gas and bloating once I start eating because I sit all day. When I am active or empty and not bloated I have no waste it would be much tighter on stage. Right arm was torn in March it is catching back up. Yes have had some tears mid 40s but again recovering. Back always looks best super lean and dry. Right now I am deliberately holding some fluid as that is best for growth this is bulking me in a cocoon. But yes I am over 225 with 19 inch arms and lean at 43 you can still see my obliques despite bulking so yeah I am a beast

Look at this magazine pic see his forearm that is all you are going to see in a Tshirt at the bar. The two of us standing next to each other in street clothes and I am going to look like the bodybuilder with big vascular forearms hanging out or a 230lb frame not him. He has twig forearms
-
The goal is to look like Pete not Zane. Pete is my height and as far as I am concerned was the best bodybuilder in 1977 not Zane

Big fucking deal I lost 40 pounds from Colitis,had a 105 degree temperature from Hepatitus B for 7 days in a row and had lung Cancer.........I`m back training hard again..................t hat`s life buddy.
Dont give me the deliberately holding on to fluid bullshit you just eat like shit cuz you`re on GH which allows you to get away with it.
Your pitting edema was very inspirational you numbskull.

You`re gonna` end up looking like one of Petes turds ..........GEEZUS I SAY IT AGAIN................... .....YOU KNOW JACKSHIT ABOUT BODYBUILDING !!
You`re like a kid who think if he follows Arnold training routine he`ll end up looking just like him.
Grymkowski got beat at the AAU Mr. America in 1977 BTW.

It is a subjective sport. I think Pete is the better stronger look that I wish to aspire to vs Frank Zane. Zane just looks like a little guy that pops thyroid hormones and peals the skin of his chicken.

I am not complaining I am just saying you are seeing mid day gas my waist is not large. Also I can eat like shit all day and still be 200lbs shredded looking like Zane. That is not the goal I am deliberately altering my physiology to hold more water right.

The judges didn't like Pete because he was too big and obvious and open about his usage doesn't mean his build didn't destroy the guys the judges put ahead of him
Just because 3 gay judges put a lightweight ahead of a 250lb heavyweight doesn't mean the lightweight actually beats him at bodybuilding total nonsense Heavyweight is the real thing lightweight is fucking gay
3rd place heavyweight is more legit than lightweight overall winner

Just because 3 gay judges put a lightweight ahead of a 250lb heavyweight doesn't mean the lightweight actually beats him at bodybuilding total nonsense Heavyweight is the real thing lightweight is fucking gay
3rd place heavyweight is more legit than lightweight overall winner
All righty then.................... ........................ ...........FUCKFACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111

Bodybuilding is a subjective sport so the judges voting for Padilla absolutely mean he was better at bodybuilding for that show.

Zane also claims to have been 220lbs off season which at 59 makes him just about my exact same damn size he wasn't walking around 195lbs
In fact if you look at his claimed measurements they are almost the same as mine.
If I was a betting man I would say I am the closest physique size and condition wise to Zane on this site. He claimed 18 inch arms at 195lbs after cutting from 220lbs. I am just shy of 19 at 225lbs and 2 inches taller. His thigh calf and chest and waist measurements are all about the same as mine. His hips are smaller
https://fitnessvolt.com/13762/frank-zane/
If these measurements are accurate we are almost the exact same damn size with me being a little bigger 2 inches taller of course these measurments for Zane may be inflated
You are not 2 inches taller, you lie, you state 5’10, then 5’10.5 and now 5’11, what’s next? You are going to say 6 ft?
-
I know a lot more than you have you seen your competition pics it looks like a childrens pageant. Of course you think size doesn't matter you have none. Neither you nor Zane was ever this big and jacked
What’s stopping you from getting to 250+? That’s the goal you should be having, regardless of health or injuries, you better not be a quitter
-

I was 510.5 last time I measured in sophmore year in high school at 15. I measured now and I am at least 511. I measured again when everyone claimed I wasn't 510.5 and they are right I am 511

They why aren’t you 250+? You have all that time to get up to that weight

Well I have a digestive disease for one so I guess you could start there. I also just started trying to add weight again in April this year after not trying the last 20 years. I stopped bulking in my late 20s when they said precancerous barretts esophagus with a digestive track full of pollyps I also had gerds and acid and bile reflux which was making me throw up if I tried to eat too much. Doctors now tell me I have crohns as well. So yeah all that makes being 250lbs not so easy I literally have a fucking wasting disease and I am amnemic. I am sick everyday. I use the bathroom nonstop all day I don't digest nutrients. I was 210lbs in April. I have added at least 10lbs of solid muscle since then despite being injured. I am sick most of the damn day everyday. I have had a couple sausage links and one slice of pizza and a muffin but have been to the bathroom at least 15 times today. I feel sick until early evening most days. I have to get up 3-4 times a night to use the restroom. I use it another half dozen times before lunch and probably 3 times before my first cup of coffee. So yeah it's not super easy for me to gain weight. My stomach is empty but bloated with gas makes it hard to eat and when I do I don't digest half of the nutrients. I am also very active with a fast metabolism. Did I mention the blood I get bleeding ulcers and will pass blood for weeks at a time fun stuff. I can eat nothing and still need to use the restroom nonstop I have painful gas and diarea and twisted guts almost everyday. The acid makes me sick and hungry and full all at the same time. I can't tell if I need food or if I need to take a crap half the time all I know is my stomach and insides hurt
But fuck that noise I will be a solid 240 next summer

Can you say moron ?

If I was a betting man I would say *I am the closest physique size and condition* wise to Zane on this site.

The goal is to look like Pete not Zane. Pete is my height and as far as I am concerned was the best bodybuilder in 1977 not Zane
Not even close
You are welcome to your OPINIONS, but facts , are stubborn things.
Zane won 3 straight Olympias ( 1977, 78, 79 )
-
I’m no Zane, he was damn near perfection and one of my all time favorites..... this is as close I got when I was 47
I saw some of those pics before and you look damn good .
Excellent conditioning at any age :)

Not even close
You are welcome to your OPINIONS, but facts , are stubborn things.
Zane won 3 straight Olympias ( 1977, 78, 79 )
The Olympia wasn’t the only contest those years and he won because of politics and being the first to discover thyroid hormones not becasue he added the most muscle to his frame
But yeah personally I want to look like Pete not Frank and Pete was also competing those years though not in the Olympia I think his build destroys Zane who just looks like a conditioned athlete. I ha w been a conditioned athlete. Pete was a Freak I have never been a freak

You look good in this can’t deny that and the stash is cool we can argue structure but We we’re about the same size 200ish. I just don’t want to be that size anymore I self identify as a monster not a model and it is time to transition to my true self

These people act like I have issues because of bodybuilding. I body build despite my issues because it is what I like to do. We are all dying anyway going to live my life. Tired of everyone telling me what I can't do. Challenges are not limits. You are injured you are old you have a bad tummy and precancerous cells fuck that shit. Life isn't supposed to be easy. I can't control all the shit that comes my way in life but I can make the choice to hit the iron regardless. I may be uncomfortable but I can make the choice to eat regardless. When I was a child I thought there were limits stop signs detours changes in plans unforseen bumps in the road. Now I know there are only challenges. Why does getting stronger bigger fitter matter because I decided it matters.

You aren't supposed to gorge on peach cobblers and fried chicken if you have Crohns and bleeding ulcers. It isn't helping you to get more nutrients by stuffing yourself like that. You aren't absorbing it you're just crapping 20 - 30 times a day. Go see a GI and tell him the truth about what you're doing.

You`re the only one here who has ever faced adversity.....my life would have killed you son.
Plus you are the only dedicated trainer on here who trains with hundreds of reps with pink dumbells so as not to re-injure the joints you fucked up over the years and the 5 or 6 muscle tears that you caused................pl us you eat like crap just to weigh more.

Bodybuilding secret is to stay injuries free and healthy, know when your body
is suffering badly, adapt your training and dieting to your morphology, anatomy and own chemestry. You have a poor genetic, bad proportion, a body not able to handle too much food and drugs and training strategy is something abstract to you.
But you are a true warrior and life winner so keep the good job and post your fantastic progress.

Great pic. Hard to believe you were ever in that kind of shape. And you weren't that juiced or juiced at all. Way above average genetics and I think you could have gone far. We're about the same age and if I was in that kind of shape back then I would have taken bbing much more seriously and give a shot at competing. But, I think you've posted that pic enough already. We got it.

Terrible physique.........way too small.......BHank outweighs him so that means he could win all the titles Zane won plus many more.

Zane had one of the most perfect physiques ever.
He sure did. Truly an amazing physique.
Small by today's standards
Honestly, to hell with today’s “standards”. Comically large and largely misshapen. I’m fully convinced that a human-shaped bag filled with 450 lbs of shit in the off-season will sweep the competition if it times the drying process and comes in at a svelte 360 lbs.
-

He never won,he placed 4th. in his class.
I`ve seen his pics in old mag..........good build,and balding shorter competitor.
I bet I owned every magazine ever put out and read them cover to cover several times over.............I had a veritable ton of old muscle books as we called them.

We're about the same age and if I was in that kind of shape back then I would have taken bbing much more seriously and give a shot at competing. But, I think you've posted that pic enough already. We got it.
I'm too lazy to load my old BB pics (in photo album) onto the lap top I post from ;D
Maybe , I'll being 'em to Wal-mart photo and have them do it. But it's in the past and I wasn't anything great, so WTF.
Thanks for the compliments , but, I know from actual contest experience what my BB future was.
Future NC pros, like Johnny Stewart or Mike Valentino, etc; had moved past me by the late 80's.
It wasn't by taking more drugs . They just had that winning "look" on stage, under the contest lights.
I tried to make a go of bodybuilding and wasn't making it.
So, I opted to go back to school and start a more mundane career path.
Now, over 30 years later , I'm : retired ,healthy, secure, happy and FINALLY married to my "soul mate".

The Olympia wasn’t the only contest those years and he won because of politics and being the first to discover thyroid hormones not becasue he added the most muscle to his frame
But yeah personally I want to look like Pete not Frank and Pete was also competing those years though not in the Olympia I think his build destroys Zane who just looks like a conditioned athlete. I ha w been a conditioned athlete. Pete was a Freak I have never been a freak
Be a fan of any former pro you want.
But just understand and ACCEPT, your OPINIONS don't match historical reality or the majority in the sport.

Thanks and you did better in bigger contests , so I have to give you props.
I toyed with doing a masters nats when I turned 40 and later when I hit 50.
BUT, the drive was long gone, like a fart gas from 5 min later...it faded away.
From my old cpu that went belly up a few years ago :-[
I should load all my old , meaningful photos on a flash drive by now.
No excuses, I just haven't bothered to take 'em in and get it done.

I did more shows than you, but you looked fantastic.......I was at the very least mediocre by comparison.......and I`m being quite generous to myself. ;D

I did 41 shows and won some "Mr Podunks" . BUT, I never won or placed high in ANY national NPC contest.
My most satisfying win was the 1994 NPC Ironman "natural" , at the Baton Rouge, La Centroplex ( AUG).
I made the top 5 cut for the Lt Hvy's in the 1988 Jr USA. But I got DQ'd when I didn't show up for the night finals.
* I met a cute , thick blonde at the prejudging and spent the rest of the weekend at her place, 30 miles away. 100% true. ;)
We starting to sound like " the polite gophers " with mutual admiration LOL.

bhank is a true Getbigger claiming he has a better body than a 3X Olympia winner. :D
Bingo! I'm not sure he claims he's better then Zane, but he does seem a bit "full of himself".
In my OPINION, it's fine to post a pic and say you feel good about your physique.
Nobody expects another getbigger to look like some top IFBB pro.
If he was low key and even made fun of himself, he'd get a lot more, virtual pats on the back.
The problem is he's come up with a lot of reasons why he can't compete .
BUT feels he could kick ass if he did.
Maybe he could and maybe he couldn't? Unless you put it on the line, you sound like a "paper tiger".
If I've learned anything from 20 yrs on getbig, it's this.
Most posters will bust your balls, but give sincere respect for legitimate achievement .
For example, I respect BHanks for coming back and rebuilding after a tough set back with injuries.
But acting like he's owed respect for it, is what puts getbiggers on the defense.
-
Bhank has thicker hands and head.
Bro...
-
IS THIS IDIOT FUCKING DELUSIONAL OR WHAT?
COMPARING YOURSELF TO A PRIME FRANK ZANE...........a guy who won 3 Olympias.
Seek help bro, you are fucked up in the head !!
What's funny is Bhank is really tall at 6'5'' while Zane was only 5'9''. At 210 lbs Bhank would look small next to Zane

Really? I thought Bhank said he was only 5'8.

You mean like this 160lb beast?
No, that's not a standing relaxed pose. That's a skinny guy. That is not a bodybuilder. I mean, just standing relax. I don't know why that would be a problem as you post pics of yourself in various poses.

You were 30 and 194lbs in the pic you shared. I am 43 that is an entirely different division and I am 225. I would absolutely win local and state level shows for my age group just rolling out of bed. However fuck no I have no desire to spend a weekend in a bikini on stage. I can flex for 5 minutes then go eat I dont need to flex for half an hour and starve myself for a weekend.

Go enter a contest and when you don`t place, then you`ll find out it` not as easy as you think it is......you always talk about height and weight as you are taller and heavier but this doesn`t make you "LOOK" better.....you just dont get it cuz YOU KNOW JACKSHIT ABOUT BODYBUILDING.
Oh and just an FYI, Howards physique in his prime , and yours in your prime, would be like a stallion versus a pile of donkey shit.....you`d be the donkey shit.
I`ve seen more pics of Howard than just the one he posted and he had a damn good build light years ahead of your delusional ass.
He placed top 5 in his class at the Jr. USA when bodybuilders were better than the blobs of shit that compete today.

Dude that is you and you are 160lbs so shut the fuck up the gig is up
-

There is no gig. I never claimed to be a beast. You do. Is there something you're hiding from just doing a simple standing relax shot? We already know and see that your head is out of proportion to your body. Do you have a wide waist and don't want to be seen straight on? Or are you structurally narrow? You keep posting that same old shots. Mix it up a bit with the simplest pose there is.
-

I hope you end up going to bb.com.....you are one disrespectful mutherfucker insulting men you couldn`t hold a candle to and some are 20 years or more your senior and would mop the floor with you to this day
No respect for people who have been here for 20 years you delusional fucking goon.
BTW your physique is a tattered mess of mishapen torn up disproportionate shit.
Yeah I know 238 pounds of bloated edema holding wide waisted shit is better than 165 tiny little pounds.
::)

No, he's 6'5'' and about 238 lbs

Guess what you win for "rolling out of bed" and NOT showing up to compete? ;)
Right now, you sound like Uncle Rico ;)
Either get off that step and go for it or quietly do your own thing on your own terms .
BUT please refrain from telling us how EASY you could win a contest.
It's a lot easier to win Mr Pooldeck when you're the only guy in the contest. ;D

He`s a big fish in a little pond Howard....he`ll never compete cuz when he loses his fragile ego will be shattered and he`d probably off hlmself.

Nope. Mentzer won the 1978 Hvy wt IFBB Universe with a perfect score .
I also think he won an IFBB Grand Prix with a "perfect score" but not the Olympia.
In 1979 the IFBB Olympia had under/over 200 lb classes ( *Arnold won the over 200 and Franco the under in 1975 Pumping iron)
I was there seated close to stage in 1979 and saw it live.
Mentzer looked bloated and lacked cuts next to Zane for the overall finals.
Mentzer did score 300 in the prejudging in the Over 200 pound class and Zane scored 299 but Zane got 4 first place votes in the posedown of the top six and he won the contest by getting more points than Mentzer
-
That's from 1979, not 1977

Yup, I'm pretty sure you're correct on that . It does mention it on Mentzer's bio.
Good call and YOU know bodybuilding!
My initial check only mentioned the perfect 300 score at the Universe.
I honestly think, had Mentzer taken 1980 off from competing, he'd have won the 1982, 83 Olympias.
I bought one of his seminar tapes and he was still quite bitter about the Olympia judging.
Sadly, he seemed to die a bitter, lonely man.

Exactly I literally did what I said I didn't want to do just to a prove a point I didn't even have time to order proper posing trunks
