Hard to believe this summer marks the 20th anniversary of legend Mike Mentzer's passing.....
Anyways not sure if this has been posted here before ...... But this dude claims that when he was a young BBer, released from prison and looking for a job.mr. Mentzer invited him over to his place and tried to take advantage of him" while the young muscle dude was desperately trying to sell knives and change his life for the better....
Very disappointing if this is true :'(
Woshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's all true

The amphetamine thing is well known, years ago people surmised that was part of what flipped him out. I could see him mething out later in life.
There was a guy on Misc.Fitness.Weights that claimed that he knew a guy that was Mentzer's fuck buddy for many years, but never elaborated on the subject.
At the end, he mentions Lacy H Rich. Lacy was a gay fella who hated Arnold, and would post to bodybuilding newsgroups back then in the early mid 90's. His stories read a lot like Basile's, some insider knowledge, some venom.
He died in the late 90's, a few years before Mentzer. He had AIDS, and the well attested to rumor was that he killed himself with an insulin overdose.

More Lacy Rich, from the book "Fantastic" by Laurence Leamer -
Wendy Leigh, Lacy Rich, and Stallone supposedly connected -
"Leigh went ahead with the book. Behind the scenes, she claims, Stallone orchestrated much of the project. He found her an agent and put her in touch with Arnold’s former publicist Paul Bloch. He lined up three other sources to attest that Arnold had an affair with Nielsen. He put the journalist in contact with Lacy H. Rich Jr., a gay aficionado of the bodybuilding world obsessed with hurting Arnold, and he became Leigh’s crucial guide and confidant. Stallone also put Leigh in touch with a detective who led her to one of Arnold’s former girlfriends. The star was obsessed with Arnold. “I think of Schwarzenegger every night before I go to sleep,” Leigh recalled Stallone telling her."
-----------------------------------------------------------
More from the book -
"As Arnold basked in the warm glow of adulation from his Hollywood peers, he had a strange, determined foe obsessed with destroying him. His name was Lacy H. Rich Jr. Though he made his living reproducing photos, his main goal was to bring down Arnold. He lived in a cluttered apartment in North Hollywood overrun with files, faxes, newspapers, dirty ashtrays, and unwashed dishes. Rich told some people that his hatred began when his friend Mike Mentzer was so devastated by his defeat in Sydney at the 1980 Mr. Olympia that he began a precipitous emotional decline. Rich managed the apartment building where the sadly diminished Mentzer lived, and Rich wanted to get even. But that is hardly enough to explain the depth of his hatred.
“We are talking today about a bodybuilder turned ‘actor,’ who potentially could become senator or governor, then President of the United States, if he could get the Constitution changed,” Rich told Schwarzenegger biographer Nigel Andrews in an unattributed interview. “And with Arnold’s track record I’m not sure he couldn’t manage that. And I’m damned if I’m going to see this hypocrisy elected to public office in this country.”
Rich did not like to be seen in person. He was a voice on the phone. He was a mysterious fax arriving in the middle of the night, pages and pages of material, everything from frontal nudes of Arnold to stills from porno movies involving Arnold’s past associates to allegations of all kinds of excesses and crimes. Some revelations were true, more were partially true, and many were demonstrably false or had nothing to do with Arnold, all of them blended together in a venomous stew. He sought to bait Arnold and those who tried to protect him. He tried in every way to create a media confrontation.
Rich called Charlotte Parker and faxed her pages of the material that he was also sending to journalists and anyone else in the media. He said he went to see Joe Weider and tried to get to Arnold through him. He picketed the Weiders. “He hated everybody,” Weider said. “He had a group walking in front of my house, saying that I hire illegals and create bodybuilders who are homosexuals and all that kind of crap.”
Arnold ignored Rich’s activities. “I paid absolutely no attention,” he said. “He was no obstacle to my career, period. Absolutely none. He was just a lunatic that was sending around pictures of me in underwear and saying, ‘Oh, Arnold had gay relationships.’ You know, it was so ludicrous because everyone that knew me knew that this guy was totally out of whack. He was a sick guy and that was the end of that. Otherwise, I would have sued him if I would have felt that he was really doing anything to my career.”
When the satire magazine Spy published a devastating article on Arnold in March 1992, Rich’s name was not mentioned but he had played a role. The writer of the piece, Charles Fleming, says that Rich supplied a nude photo of Arnold that illustrated the story, but Rich’s contributions probably went beyond that. Afterward, Rich talked about the piece as if he had almost written it, saying people had called to say that he “had a lot of courage to buck the system.”
“Here was the star of these huge movies, making this huge amount of money, and yet there were these appalling things about him that nobody was willing to say,” said Fleming. “Nobody was willing to discuss it, because of the way that he was wielding his Hollywood power—and that made him a target. Because he was behaving like such a bully, he was worth shooting at.
Spy was a witty magazine with an upscale audience, and the fact that it published the article suggested the distinction between the tabloids and the mainstream media was beginning to crumble and anyone and anything was fair game. Much of the material was scurrilous and ugly and based almost exclusively on anonymous sources. “All right, so what if the rumors confirmed for Spy by a businessman and longtime friend of Arnold’s that in the 1970s he enjoyed playing and giving away records of Hitler’s speeches are true?” the article asked. “There’s the journalist who mirthfully tells of the star’s back lot misdeed show he surprised Arnold in flagrante delicto during the filming of one of his blockbusters and how Arnold said, ‘Ve von’t tell Maria about dis’ but who will never commit that story to print. And there’s the movie executive who will tell you only in private, and never for attribution, about Arnold’s occasional suggestions to the owner of a store where he shops that the two find some chicks who will perform an act Arnold calls ‘polishing the helmet.’ Arnold’s rationalization, according to the store owner? ‘It’s not being unfaithful. It’s only some blo-jobs.’
Probably no one will ever quote the Hollywood producer who pals around with Arnold and says, ‘He’s an unstoppable womanizer, even worse than the Kennedys.’” Fleming detailed in Spy how with Parker’s help, Arnold controlled and manipulated his image, a task made easy by the symbiotic relationship between the entertainment reporters and Hollywood. The article stated that “by all accounts, he hopes to run for governor of California or the U.S. Senate” and “you can’t help but wonder, for example, how campaign reporters would have treated the dinner at the Simon Wiesenthal Center. If Arnold were in the middle of a political campaign and were honored by a Holocaust philanthropy, some intrepid reporter would be digging into his past associations.”
Fleming was one of the first reporters to write about Arnold’s political ambition. He recalls how reporters came up to his desk at Variety after the article appeared, to “whisper things like ‘Senator Schwarzenegger’ and fall all over themselves laughing. And I just kept saying, ‘Get off my back. I didn’t say he was running for office. But you watch. You just watch.... ’ ”
The Spy article had documented one of the essential problems of Arnold’s putative political career. If Arnold decided to run for political office, these accusations and stories might spill over into the mainstream political media, irreparably sullying his reputation. Rich’s efforts were a painful way for Arnold to see just how far these stories would go. Rich had already orchestrated a tabloid article alleging that Arnold had played Nazi music at a party in the early 1980s, and contributed to the Spy article.
In September 1992 Rich sent out yet another fax to a list of journalists and publicists, including Parker. “Coming in October will be the most complete outing Hollywood has ever seen. Thrill to week after week of gay outings of Hollywoods [sic] elite in words and picture. All the good ole boys that made Arnold possible. Yes they banded around him to cover his lies, now see if they band together to protect their own butts.” Beneath the words was a full frontal nude of Arnold with the caption: “A Smoking Gun? Republican Moral Values? Bush sure can pick ’em!!”
October came and went without the media picking up on any of Rich’s charges, and he continued his futile, doomed crusade. He wrote a pamphlet about his struggle against Arnold and in June 1995 placed several chapters on the Internet. Rich had become more and more marginalized, more and more possessed. In September he committed suicide. He and his obsession were gone, but his tales and accusations lived on as part of a whispered underground about Arnold’s life."

C'mon man, it messes up everything..

not a very sharp young blade ?
Give him a break, He was a teenager already hanging out with pro bodybuilders, he probably looked up to Mike his "bodybuilding hero "..... like most of us did
at some point. :'(

I never saw "misc. fitnes weights" only heard about it.

I've lurked here and there on fitness boards for 25ish years. Misc.fitness.weights was a wild place, a lot of industry people posted there, and would gossip because they figured they wouldn't get caught, etc.... Titus melted down there when a fitness girl dumped him. Frank Sepe melted down, and threatened to sue a troll that said he caught AIDS from a schmoe. Vic Richards, Nicole Bass, a bunch of others were there too.
Also you really couldn't ban anyone from posting there, and you could tag /cross post in other groups. So you could have a thread going with bodybuilders from Misc.Fitness.Weights, gays from soc.motss, schmoes from alt.amazon-women.admirers, fat people from soc.support.fat-acceptance, and an odd group like rec.survivalism all fighting in one giant thread at times.

Imagine if we had people from other forums being able to crosspost to Getbig-threads :D
-

Ha, I don't remember Basile around back then, I do remember a lot of "HIT" people, that were similar. I think I first ran into Basile in the early 2000's, I think around 2002 or so. Same Vince we have now.
------------------------

It would be awesome, it was one of the best things about that type of group. I remember some gay guy that would cross post bodybuilder erotic fiction. Shawn Ray must've been his favorite because the stories always ended with Shawn fucking or getting fucked. I can't find them anymore, but they were hilarious.

One thing is for sure. Homos like to claim they know the sexuality of people who are dead. Sure sounds like speculation and conjecture. Now because one loser typing from his mom's basement Mentzer will always be labeled a homo. If he was or if he wasn't the proof isn't there because someone typed smoking a joint on his computer held together with duct tape.

in the seventes I used to hear stories about a lot of the top guys including Mentzer . He got hooked on speed and literally ruined his life.

That Leo Rex guy thinks meth can make you a homo.

He emulated his idol Ayn Rand who was a speed freak for decades.

Rand and Mentzer probably thought speed was good because it made you think faster whereas they looked down on weed because it makes you slower.

Sure. Though I don't know if they looked down on weed. Even a speedfreak can appreciate weed at night.
Speed is great if you can be moderate. Again, that Leo Rex says speed changed his whole life trajectory, it made him want to read all day. It's been positive iow. He says he uses on 5 on 2 off schedule.

Rand specifically condemned weed. She said, "happy, confident men do not need to get stoned." She must have thought they do need speed.

Mentzer was a homo or at least bi.
There is plenty of information on it if you know where to look.

I guess I'm not on gay bodybuilding sites except this one. The first I heard of it was here and it seemed it was one poster on another site with all the "inside" information. Could he be a bull shit artist? We have a poster here who is a complete liar with all his tales. Writes elaborate prose on events that are fictionalized. I know this because I caught him several times in telling tales.

Funny how menzter is somehow supposed to be the "man" in this clip looking down at the musicians yet he is the weirdo walking around in a thong flexing with oil on his body......

Meth is a cruel mistress. This is no less true for Reality as when the addict becomes aware of what has become of them they are introduced to her. And that mistress is a Bitch.

Years ago Mentzer wrote an article in Muscle and Fitness magazine about gays in BB and how to ward them off, lol. Maybe somebody like ND has a scan of it?

Again , I made this thread because I had no idea Mike was bi or gay or whatever .... with a recent interview taken from youtube ( not Getbig) the guy there says he even LIVED with Mike and yet you keep whining that only here a loser from a broken computer is making up BS story about Mentzer .... I dont' know why that hurts your feelings so much .
If you want pictures or videos now that's a different story.
Btw MENTZER in the rock video with the police hat and mustache looks like a juiced Freddy Mercury ;D
That's as far LGBTQ as I have seen him online ....But keep searching
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH mama mia figaroooooooooooo

We can say that Mike was at least very supportive to the gays. Here he was in 1982 raising money for an AIDS related charity -

Could have won multiple O's if he didn't flip out and go crazy. The fans would not have stood for Franco and Dickerson winning over Mentzer and he was closing in on Zane.

I think he had more enemies than anyone and that's why these gay rumors spread. Mentzer was crass and frank in his views on other people. Called anyone who didn't agree with him a complete moron basically. And said most bodybuilders are illiterate idiots(probably true though). So that way he got alot of enemies.
Kind of like the rumors that Adolf Hitlers cousin spread about Hitler being part jewish, gay, etc. because Hitler was a man of principles/idealism and was strongly against nepotism, thus didn't give his relatives any free rides.

Mentzer wasn't nearly as smart as he thought himself to be. Perfect example of Dunning-Kruger effect.

Biggest insult you can give a male bodybuilder is calling him gay, it seems. How come we don't hear all the female bodybuilders being called lesbians as a swipe?
Such a double standard, lol

Many non lifting civilians call bodybuilders gay out of envy. Instead of working out themselves and looking good it's easier to sport a dad bod while questioning the sexuality of everyone else.

Pretty sure the standing one is Cathy Gelfo, she left Mike for Clint Beyerle in the mid 80's. This is her and Clint now -

Mentzer was rich at one point but he lost it all trying to start a magazine and buying out of date movie production equipment that he didn't even know how to use. Clint had his act together. He had a good job and might have come from money. When Mike's girlfriend dumped him he went nuts combined with the death of his mother. It wasn't the 1980 Olympia in all probability.

There is a phenomenon I hear about quite often that guys who get tons of quality poon end up getting "bored" and might start banging a twink or 2
I've always theorized this is what turns the powerful elite to pedophilia.
-
Shizzo, can you speak on this? Is it true?
-
Meth or Joe?
Meth, very dangerous drug

I believe this is true. When a guy is in his late teens/early twenties (and perhaps beyond) it is quite a coup to find a hottie that gives it up on demand. It takes work. And you're grateful when you get it. But say you are a rock star, pro athlete, popular actor, extremely good looking, and charismatic... getting poon is effortless.
I remember reading about Mike Jagger and his perversions. Human wants are like a black hole. It is never satisfied. For someone like Jagger getting hotties to bang at such a young age when most guys are struggling to get anything gets old. Now you want two at a time. Then you want to do things to women that most women wouldn't tolerate for regular guys. But for Mick Jagger -- anything goes. For someone like Jagger you start looking for new thrills. And, yes, that included teen or preteen girls and then eventually boys.
Unless someone is morally grounded always getting what you want whenever you want can be corrupting.

according to people close to mike , he was doing well for himself before he died, not hurting for money by no means. he turned himself around financially unfortunately mike had very bad habits and quit working out , a shame , cause at one time he looked like a million dollars . joe weider was paying him a 150 k a year in the early 80's and he had his books that sold well, mike was the only bodybuilder of that era to approach arnold levels of popularity

i listened to his podcast he did about mentzer, he said mentzer was skinny and blew up fast 300 of deca every other day was his stack that was it. pollock does good interviews he seems a bit high strung though. still pretty lean. not bloated
-
Many non lifting civilians call bodybuilders gay out of envy. Instead of working out themselves and looking good it's easier to sport a dad bod while questioning the sexuality of everyone else.
Wrong.
Maybe "non lifting civilians see something Gayish from oiled up dudes? , shaved legs talking about glutes ,pecs, abs posing in thongs and looking themselves in the mirror everyday ....( not saying that means gay by default ) but I can assure you the average Joe cant envy that lifestyle .
Besides, nobody out there questions sexuality more than Bodybuilders themselves within its own lame industry
WoooSHHHHH quater trun to the right Bitch !
-
pollock does good interviews he seems a bit high strung though.
Yeah maybe high strung but also nerves of steel the way he talks about being tortured by the cartel, it made him merely "irritated." :D
Mentzer being a fag is pretty disappointing. I don't doubt what Pollock said :D
Interesting about Rich Piana as well, saying he was a rat who tried to set him up.

So Mike was making $150.000 a year during the early 80's and not even Lee Haney was making that kind of money winning the Mr.O by the end of the decade.

I remember an old article where he said it was between $150-200,000. Mentzer mentioned having to go to the post office with a couple of army duffel bags a week to pick up everything.
-------------------------
Speaking of good articles, this one is great - https://physicalculturestudy.com/2020/04/27/peter-mcgough-the-mike-menzter-story-flex-magazine-september-2001-2/ .
You can map Mike's downfall from it.
He was using amphetamines from the late 70's - onward. He had no problem with them because they made him productive, and if he was productive then there is no problem was his line of thought.
“I was in love with being conscious – amphetamines have that effect on a lot of people. I’d read the literature on amphetamines and had never heard of any long-term physical damage, but I did know that it could possibly result in acute episodes of psychosis. I saw no problem for me because I was convinced I was focused enough and that my use was channeled in a positive direction.
“I didn’t think there was anything wrong in taking stimulants to make me work as hard as I was. A lot of people drink coffee and smoke cigarettes to stay stimulated and be productive. I was a productive genius, but I had lost sight of the fact that the body and the mind have limitations.”
Late 70's, very close to the 1980 Olympia, his mother is very sick, near death it looks like.
He almost burns himself out training for 1979 and 1980 contests.
He loses the 1979 Overall Mr. O to Zane, and goes 5th at the 1980, behind Zane and Arnold.
After the 80 O, he leaves everything having to do with Weider and The IFBB. By 1982, he's almost broke.
Early 83, Nautilus / Jones hire him and Ray for promo work. They separate after about 1/2 a year, he makes up with Weider, but leaves in late 1983 to work for start up "Workout" magazine.
He ups the amphetamines to deal with the workload.
1985 looms, and his financial backers fold "Workout". He also loses his father, who, he was tremendously close to. Cathy Gelfo would leave later that year also.
From 1985 - 1990 it would be a string of arrests and hospital commitments.

Interesting ....
In all seriousness ; Netflix should make a documentary " HEAVY DUTY " about Mike's life and impact he had in bobybuilding .....
Interesting character all around, no doubt

I remember when I first saw that pic. I was just blown away. He looked so solid and dense there. I missed the days when a standing relax pose was just like how Mike is doing it here. I hate when they flare their arms out now. It flattens out the delts and just seems kind of juvenile. It reminds me of how people stand when they are mimicking and mocking bodybuilders.
-
One thing that always kind of puzzled me was that Mike seemed like such a pure mesomorph and that it was easy for him to develop his muscles. But his back just seemed so lacking. I see nigs in the park basketball court with better traps and mid-back. His lats didn't look like it was lacking from the front but from the back, he didn't have that dramatic flare that I noticed even Mike Katz had in PI.

I just feel it's important to distinguish between civilized Blacks and those inner-city thugs. I use to say the full word, and again not to be disparaging, but just to be very specific as to whom I am referring to, but nowadays it's the absolute worse thing you can say. You can shit in the streets and people just walk away with that "there's nothing to see here" attitude but say n*gg*r and you will lose your job and even have family and friends disown you. So I just say "nig" so there's no confusion. People seem to accept it and I've never had anyone call me out on it.
Of course, when I'm referring to an actual Black person I refer to them as "my n*gga". ;D

I'm surprised this video wasn't posted yet, so I'll do it. Taken just days before Mike and Ray's untimely deaths.
Mike Mentzer taught what no gym trainer could. He was a legend. a great human being...this is not by judging the tightness of his skin but by the content of his noble character. Mike taught to think outside the box.to realize that precise training is the best and finally to have an objectivist view of life.
I'd doubt he was a h0m0 either ::) ::)

If not only your physique but your ego are built on PEDs and speed ...Both Mentzers were victims of the mirror of their mind. And the Mentzers were neither the first nor last to do so. There are far, far too many victims of their own ego. And when the mirror breaks?
Watch the end of "The Picture of Dorian Gray".

It's a special thing being of a gifted mind and then seeing a multitude of morons being gifted things that should have been yours, only because that the morons had allowed Joe enter their poopchute.

sorry but Mentzer obviously killed Arnold in 1980.
just look at the difference in leg mass, arm size and just width alone in this photo
(http://musclemecca.com/imported-images/2008/12/indgfgexphpph1-1.jpg)
Arnolds win here was just a Weider gift to Arnold(just like their gift to Columbo in 81) and revenge on Mentzer.
-
Mentzer was built like a tank and next to Arnold was a bodybuilder I was most interested in for a long time. It is a pity that he and his brother died so young.
Nowadays there isn't anyone i find even remotely as fascinating. Honestly, they all look and sound the same.

Sorry but Mentzer was fifth. If anyone had a beef with Arnold winning it should have been Roger Walker. One picture does not a contest make. Look at all the photos and the limited video and you will see Mentzer was nowhere close to best on that day. He over dieted because of his loss to Zane in 79 not knowing Arnold was entering the contest. He came in fifth so it didn't matter.

Right off the bat, Ray talks about his dialysis regime

Yes. And Roger Walker 2nd place.
The whole contest was redicilous and the placings. Dickerson, Zane and Boyer got 2nd,3rd, 4th. over Mentzer(5'th) and Walker(7th!). Mentzer, Walker and Zane boycotted the Olympia after that. It was fixed end of story.

Chris "Curious George" Dickerson's (those EARS) win was the biggest travesty of all when he won in '82. Padilla was robbed again. The only way Dickerson could've made it to the top was by bottoming for every freakin' judge that year.

Yeah the old, “CBS was going to air the contest, but Arnold won” story. CBS was airing the NBA finals at late night on tape delay in 1980….
Looking at the landscape back then it seems odd to believe that they would have aired a niche competition like the Mr. Olympia.

Roach's books are outstanding. Not a whiny bitch at all actually, very mellow/detailed guy who did amazing work.
Everything Arnie did to even get into the contest was rigged (rules were broken), so he should have even been in it.

THIS ^^^
And even if he wasn't the obvious clear winner, he was close enough for reasonable minds to disagree and Arnold was a bodybuilding legend and you don't give it to someone else in such a close situation
-

The Mentzer fanboys judge that Arnold wasn't at HIS best so therefore he shouldn't have won. The fact that he wasn't as good as he was in the 70's doesn't mean he wasn't the best onstage that day.
-
Looking at the stills I wonder if Arnold was good enough. Looking at the video and he won. An 85% Arnold was better than a 100% Mentzer. Yes, Dickerson deserved second place.

I just feel it's important to distinguish between civilized Blacks and those inner-city thugs. I use to say the full word, and again not to be disparaging, but just to be very specific as to whom I am referring to, but nowadays it's the absolute worse thing you can say. You can shit in the streets and people just walk away with that "there's nothing to see here" attitude but say n*gg*r and you will lose your job and even have family and friends disown you. So I just say "nig" so there's no confusion. People seem to accept it and I've never had anyone call me out on it.
Of course, when I'm referring to an actual Black person I refer to them as "my n*gga". ;D
I prefer to say ''Nikka'' because it's less offensive
-
October 4, 1980..
In pictures, (October 4.1980) The last great/important day" in Mentzer's life, from the next day on everything went gradually down for him
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The thing is Mike had no chest compared to Arnold. The chest is everything, either you got it or you don't. Everything else Mike was as good as Arnold, maybe his legs were ever better than Arnold's legs. Chest comes from volume, high intensity is great for back but not so great for chest
-
sorry but Mentzer obviously killed Arnold in 1980.
just look at the difference in leg mass, arm size and just width alone in this photo
(http://musclemecca.com/imported-images/2008/12/indgfgexphpph1-1.jpg)
Arnolds win here was just a Weider gift to Arnold(just like their gift to Columbo in 81) and revenge on Mentzer.
One picture means nothing, look at ALL the pictures AND video, you'll see Arnold was better
-
Mentzer was built like a tank and next to Arnold was a bodybuilder I was most interested in for a long time. It is a pity that he and his brother died so young.
Nowadays there isn't anyone i find even remotely as fascinating. Honestly, they all look and sound the same.
Dorian is similar to Mike, just bigger, more massive
-
Yes. And Roger Walker 2nd place.
The whole contest was redicilous and the placings. Dickerson, Zane and Boyer got 2nd,3rd, 4th. over Mentzer(5'th) and Walker(7th!). Mentzer, Walker and Zane boycotted the Olympia after that. It was fixed end of story.
No, you are crazy, Arnold was taller, wider, bigger chest, more aesthetic, Mentzer was not at the same level sorry

The Mentzer fanboys judge that Arnold wasn't at HIS best so therefore he shouldn't have won. The fact that he wasn't as good as he was in the 70's doesn't mean he wasn't the best onstage that day.
Exactly

following year another fixed contest by Arnold
(https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1981-Mr-Olympia17.jpg)
One picture doesn't mean anything, Franco won fair and square, Tom's body was imbalanced, huge legs but the upper body was not as massive, Padilla looked good but his upper body looked small next to same height bodybuilder Franco who looked extremely dense and rugged with a herculean physique. Upper body is king, then and now, legs are important but a bodybuilder with a great upper body beats a bodybuilder with great legs
-

Why did the crowd boo? And they were booing the most popular bber in history whom the majority would have loved to see Arnold wipe the floor with his competition.

Platz unbalanced? Not Franco? Franco had a huge upper body but his legs were not even at a pro bber level. I see better legs than that at the beach here in Hawaii except they don't have Franco's bow legs.
What was the most common comment by the experts, those who make their living doing this shit, was how Platz brought up his upper body to match his legs.

You keep saying that. But it's not one picture. There's ton's of pictures. And a picture means a lot. You use the argument when it suits you.
And it's funny how people always say that it's not just size that wins but conditioning at that level. That's why Zane won the Olympia. But now to conform to your narrative it's size that counts. Platz made Franco look tiny.
Now go find on the net where Franco looks better than Platz of Padilla.

What matters is the upper body, not the legs. For Platz to match his lower body he would need the upper body of Branch Warren

Hiding in plain sight
1. Hidden in plain sight
Concealed or unseen despite being in full, unrestricted view:
- Oh, I hide my candy in plain sight—I just put it in that old, empty coffee can on the counter!
See also: hidden, plain, sight
2. Hide (someone or something) in plain sight
To conceal someone or something so that they or it go unnoticed despite being in full, unrestricted view:
- Oh, I hide my candy in plain sight—I just put it in that old, empty coffee can on the counter!
- I wouldn't be surprised if they're hiding the kidnapped girl in plain sight. They probably ducked into a crowded store and are blending in with their surroundings.
- Nobody would suspect him of being gay. It's normal to hang round half naked bodybuilders while fully clothed, touching them longingly with an erection hard as nails
See also: hide, plain, sight, full homo
3. Hide in plain sight
1. To remain unseen despite being in full, unrestricted view:
- You know, I bet those crooks are hiding in plain sight. They probably ducked into a crowded store and are blending in with the other customers.
2. To remain unchanged without protest or complaint despite being plainly or obviously apparent.
- The inequality of living conditions faced by people of different backgrounds in this city has been hiding in plain sight for decades.
- His Wife was obviously a beard. He arranged for top bodybuilders to run trains on her on a regular basis while he watched from the closet, masturbating furiously

I have a bunch of these DVD's (got from a guy at the AOBS dinners).
Arthur was one of the 1st to have guys get off gear (like Boyer, Casey) and then start the Nautilus program (while jumping back on the gear) and building back up.
Classic before/after scenario.
Many went on to use this process to sell programs, supps, equipment, etc.
You would think people would learn over time, but not so as man becomes more dumb as time goes on. (Think modern day mindless retards).
Supplement sales are higher than ever (good for the brands) and expensive urine is being flushed all across the globe.
Big Ramy (320 lbs) now promoting Tony Huge supps and tons of Arabs are probably buying that shit up like crazy.
Clown World...

The Colorado experiment was an example of this.

Coe off drugs looks only slightly better than your typical gym member who shows up once every other week.
Proves drugs are just the finishing touch of 2%.

Yes, Coe looks in shape and if he flexed you'd see he's put together well and he's not fat.
To say he looks "amazing" is a bit of a stretch. If you saw him on the Boardwalk you wouldn't look twice.
If he looks "amazing" then I look utterly "fantastic" and I'm 63 and natty.

I've lurked here and there on fitness boards for 25ish years. Misc.fitness.weights was a wild place, a lot of industry people posted there, and would gossip because they figured they wouldn't get caught, etc.... Titus melted down there when a fitness girl dumped him. Frank Sepe melted down, and threatened to sue a troll that said he caught AIDS from a schmoe. Vic Richards, Nicole Bass, a bunch of others were there too.
Also you really couldn't ban anyone from posting there, and you could tag /cross post in other groups. So you could have a thread going with bodybuilders from Misc.Fitness.Weights, gays from soc.motss, schmoes from alt.amazon-women.admirers, fat people from soc.support.fat-acceptance, and an odd group like rec.survivalism all fighting in one giant thread at times.
"Good times".

Ray Mentzer lived at our house as well as his girlfriend and daughter, Dagny. He named her after the heroine in 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand.
When you saw Ray in person you realised how big he was as a bodybuilder. Much bigger than Mike. Ray tried but never won the Mr Universe like Mike did.
Ray told me how his Dad favoured Mike. That bothered Ray. He claimed that one day Mike had some mates in his car on the way to school but didn't pick
Ray up. I related that story to Mike in 1992 at Golds after Ray set up a meeting. Mike couldn't remember doing that! The truth is Ray felt Mike was getting
more attention at home.
Ray looked serious with his moustache and glasses. Truth is he just wanted to be left alone. One New Year's Eve we went out to visit a friend who wanted
to meet Ray. Ray wasn't interested in her but fell for her friend who he eventually married. I stayed with them in Torrance in 1992. Ray had to pick up
his daughter, then 5 years old, from the police station because his ex girlfriend wasn't comfortable being around him. Dagny would be 35 now.
Anyway, muscle for muscle, Ray was one of the biggest bodybuilders I have seen. Arthur Jones measured his arms at over 20 inches cold. Lots of photos of
Ray don't portray his size. If he was standing behind Mike, Ray didn't look so big. However, look at the photo below and be amazed.

Arnold completely owned his mind and he never got over it. Years later he had to beg Arnold to pay his bills for him. It must have driven him even more mad.

Ah Yes He Ran over to Arnold & stopped 4 foot away & pointed his finger ::)

So its just a matter of them kicking the bucket and close friends and relatives giving/selling their OLD personal stuff away lol........Isn't that what exactly happened to Macho R. Draisin ?
Those have always been bodybuilding not so secrets archives" anyways...

He's probably still getting paid.

Seems like Ray was the more unrefined Mentzer - maybe a career as a mass monster would have kept him more afloat.
I recently watched the tape with the "HIT prodigy" Markus and it's still baffling what had become of the two.

How Mentzer smoked those cigarettes around the minute mark still gives me lung burns.

Damn. Looked like a couple of semi-homeless guys sitting outside of a bowling alley. Brutal

So, was Ray just as pushy with the HIT stuff? Did Ray even train Heavy Duty? He's not really associated with it despite being Mike's brother.
Btw they're 48 years old at most in that clip. Shocking. They both act like they're 60 minus gray hair.

Still waiting on Ray’s training video to drop. I want to learn how to supinate my wrist during curls to bring out superior muscle growth. I wonder if there’ll be a health and wellness section going over sleep protocols (2:30AM-5:00 is the anabolic sleep window) and what to look for when choosing your dialysis center.

It will be a good video but I’m concerned if he’s going to lead with line ,”I can’t get a girl. Plus they’re all young.”
He would be better saying adjusting the comment to something like, “Don’t worry about the girls, take care of the schmoe’s and everything will fall in place,”

Mike Mentzer vocabulary-shaming his cameraman at 5:35. The hallmark of a true intellectual. :D

That's the funny part. Some people don't just take their advice, they have a cult-like devotion to it. And if you openly doubt Mentzers approach be preparred for a never ending debate on the merits of Heavy Duty, Arthur Jones, Mentzer, HIT etc etc

Hard to believe.. Like someone mentioned they both looked terrible for over a decade ....and don't forget they were just in their late 40"s!!!!!! ....think about it .....

He was stronger than Mike but I don't think he was as HIT as him. Both of them should have gone into powerlifting.

And yet he used to say that Arnold was the one doing cocaine during the 80 mr.O.

Ah Yes He Ran over to Arnold & stopped 4 foot away & pointed his finger ::)
At Arnold who was sitting down with an un-fussed look on his face
Dream on Mike - Put the Meth Pipe down.
More John Little guff trying so hard to revise history in Mentzer's favour but failing dismally.
-
I heard Mike had his rent covered by a wealthy bisexual who owned several apartments /condos
Was the Schmoe movement around 40 years ago when Mike was on his prime ? If so he would have made even more cash for his Recreational drugs
WoooSHHHHH HEAVY DUTTY Killed the Weider principles star

I've lurked here and there on fitness boards for 25ish years. Misc.fitness.weights was a wild place, a lot of industry people posted there, and would gossip because they figured they wouldn't get caught, etc.... Titus melted down there when a fitness girl dumped him. Frank Sepe melted down, and threatened to sue a troll that said he caught AIDS from a schmoe. Vic Richards, Nicole Bass, a bunch of others were there too.
Also you really couldn't ban anyone from posting there, and you could tag /cross post in other groups. So you could have a thread going with bodybuilders from Misc.Fitness.Weights, gays from soc.motss, schmoes from alt.amazon-women.admirers, fat people from soc.support.fat-acceptance, and an odd group like rec.survivalism all fighting in one giant thread at times.

They claimed his new anti-steroid stance that MM20000 started to push was closing down suppliers and scaring sellers.
I don't see how?
Plus, they ripped on his lifestyle.
The purple Lamborghini Countach, the helicoptor, the new headquarters in Golden, CO., etc.
Made fun of his free Supplement Review books and really ripped on stuff like Phosphagain.

During the hey days of mustaches, it was known that Mike had the most alpha mustache in the industry
Rumor has it Joe Weider was jealous and suggested him to shave it off if he wanted to be featured in the cover of his publications more often
Imagine Mike in this hashtags social media times; pushing his image, philosophy ,training methods ,fart powder, beard oil handlebar mustache technics and alpha male products..... (specially now under the gigantic LGBTQ umbrella) $$$$$$$$$$
He would have been todays face of fitness, Shitting on todays IFBB judges, attending expos, with fans all over the world downloading his heavy duty app

Mentzer was gay.
when he was on his way to become a pro bodybuilder he used to have guys stay with him where they would pay for his food and bills along with sexual favours.
Long After October 4th 1980 it was pretty much the other around, he would “coach”help share his secrets to youngsters upcoming bodybuilders for sexual favors only to never do anything for them at the end.

Sitting alone in the psychiatric ward he had been confined to for four weeks, he stared at the clinically scrubbed walls. It was the last day of January 1990, and he knew that nearly five years of trauma, despair, pain and grieving were about to be brought to a shattering resolution. During those five years, he had been institutionalized several times, been arrested, indulged in bizarre behavior and been written off as “a crazy” by the vast majority of those who were once peers, friends and associates.

Lost it all. Bitterness and resentment killed him. To go from having a beautiful girlfriend that wanted to settle with him, and more money than he could imagine in contracts and business mail order stuff: to a broke meth addict that stopped training. What the actual fuck, Mike. All thrown away.

Mike Mentzer had a smoking hot girlfriend Cathy Gelfo. She dumped him I guess because of him going insane with his drug use and she married bodybuilder Clint Beyerle who had his life together with a good career. (For RMJ11 Clint used volume so he's alright with you.)

They ALL used volume. Cathy also got sick of meth head's obsession with Ayn Rand and her philosophical bs. Cathy doged a bullet just in time and went on to bigger and better things while methzer relived the 1980 olympia every day for the rest of his life.

my first training coach who was a bench press specialist went out to cali in the late 90s and he was telling me that the top pros all did g4p shit to place high and that guys like sonny schmidt who had an incredible physique didn't place high because he wasn't on the down low
i was shocked to hear this and he said something like "are you really that naive?" :D :D :D
but if that was really true i think it would have been well known by now
arthur jones said jew weider asked him for tips on how to pick up girls, but if this was true he should have been asking him how to pick up guys ;D

Remember the G4P ads in Musclemag International and other mags? I always wondered as a kid why you would pay some guy to come over and workout with you. I was very naive. :-[

Nope they all "protested" because Arnold never told them he was going to comeback after 5 years layoff and make them all look like idiots .
Btw lets live Arnold and 1980 out of this groundbreaking Mentzer's thread please!
WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHh Mentzer Meth Mustache

Hard to believe this summer marks the 20th anniversary of legend Mike Mentzer's passing.....
Anyways not sure if this has been posted here before ...... But this dude claims that when he was a young BBer, released from prison and looking for a job.mr. Mentzer invited him over to his place and tried to take advantage of him" while the young muscle dude was desperately trying to sell knives and change his life for the better....
Very disappointing if this is true :'(
Woshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Update:
Now Larry (Mentzer's victim) is well known for being the disoriented quiet guy in the RXmuscle pack ... the other two young Gentlemens are in heaven.

I've heard stories from guys taking amphetamines, how they jerked off or had sex for "12 hours" until the cock was a bleeding mess.
I've taken quite a bit of Vyvance in the past. The sex drive and the mental sex enhancement/pleasure is absolutely insane. Well it can and will shrivel up the cock too, as stims do, but there's the Cialis and Viagra. Add some MTII and your gf will hate you, well, love it for the first hour, not by the 3rd or 4th hour. I liked it. :D

Even if Arnold indeed gave A blow job to Paul Graham to win the 1980 mr.O ,then it was the right dick to suck .....
Unlike Mentzer (not need to get in to details , just take a look at the mess his life became from 1981 to 2001 (year he was found dead, alone, broke, looking like a senior citizen when he was just 49 years old ) ......
In no way I am making fun of what Mentzer's life became after October 4th 1980, everything turned terribly wrong by the choices he made with his sad life ...... but I'm telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear ..
At this point you look creepy trying to worship someone like Mentzer.

All of this is speculation. We know for fact Mentzer made a gay video.

Mike Mentzer was arrested for running naked on the freeway!..
And Arnold, even went to visit (gloat) him in prison (this was mid 80's Arnold super popular with Comando in theaters and Mentzer still bitchin about 1980 Mr.O)
So there's a book coming out about Mentzer's life , Dave has Larry on the panel who lived a full year with Mentzer, so he probably has more interesting stories to tell about Mike than the book itself lol ... Larry says it right at the beginning of show but Palumbo living in Lala land doesn't even realize it until Larry says it again like 35 mins into the show .....
Enjoy ;D

He hated Arnold with passion, you weren't allowed to mention Arnold's name in Mike's presence ;D
Mentzer- " I don't give a shit about Arnold!"
Larry- 'You sure talk the whole damn day about him for someone that don't give a shit "
Pure GOLD
(Spoiler alert).
Palumbo doesn't give credit to Royalty or Getgbig for keeping Mentzer relevant throughout the years .

Arnold is still owning people these days
Worth over 1 billion dollars while others talking shit about him are all peasants and bitter losers

I have noticed that speed freaks tend to have their health go south/die in their 50's...

Not a single shred of evidence of this Arnold/Paul tryst exists outside of Royalty's mentally ill little head.

I've noticed John Romano for some "reason" claims same and hates Arnold as much as Royalty or even Mentzer did

Mike didn't even reach the age of 50 which makes it even more sad..
The guy was an intellectual giant , he would read philosophy first thing in the morning daily
By his 20's he became the ONLY bodybuilder to reach perfect score at the Mr.Universe ...
Had he skipped the 1980 Mr.O (like Robby Robinson did at his peak) he would have been multiple Mr.O as well as Master O winner, best seller author and alive with the biggest following on social media ....bigger than CBum

They were bumming each other & not only did Paul Graham take a fall for Arnold ( a jail sentence) but he gave him the Mr O in ´80
Get over it ..arnold was a scumbag & as we see nowadays still is

He was a pseudo intellectual. Actually, a perfect Dunning Kruger example.

Sounds like Arnold broke more minds than just Mentzer's.
