I have said this before....many years ago. But it bears repeating. Mike Katz....though married for many years and with kids.....was a known closet bottom. This was told to me many times by a few select oldtimers. I was witness to Lee Priest grilling Eddie Giuliani about the rumor in World Gym in Marina Del Rey and Eddie giving Lee the rundown. Lee was in stiches....as was I and my training partner. It wasnt the first time I had heard the Katz stories. Here are 2 quickies that I had heard....plus I had my own encounter with Katz moons ago and had a personal "come on" from Katz. But here we go....Katz was known to cruise for younger up and comer bodybuilders everytime he visited NYC and was training at Tom Minichello's Mid City Gym. The late Bob Bonham told me that the word around the NYC-NJ area from Minichellos mouth was that Katz would get on top and ride the young guys raw without a condom. Also....Eddie Giuliani told Lee that Katz would come out to Venice without his wife when teaching job was off for summers and that he and his training partner from Pumping Iron...Joey....were summer lovers. I will get flamed in moments from many saying Katz was a saint. Not saying he was a scumbag at all....but the man was absolutely a closet bottom. Deal with it.

Sounds like a top to me.
I've heard "Mighty" Mike Quinn was quite the power-bottom though.
Merry xmas beefy.

Not Joey! Hahahaha sounds like Katz was a submissive top. How’d the power bottoms stay erect prior to the invention of viagra?

Probably a few tight rubber bands around the base of the nuts and cock.

When I say ride....I mean he rode cocks.

No wonder I passed on continuing to be a competitive bodybuilder …
The sport is plagued with an endless army of phaggots!
Katz is a Frankenstein’s-monster-looking fella. In Pumping Iron, he solidified his status in the sport as a goofball.
Now decades later I’m discovering that he’s a phag.

Does this now mean Ken Waller was homophobic?

Katz is like Big Lenny with slightly better genetics and a boring personality.

Weird me....what I found most funny about your little tale outing Mike was that you employed the word "moon" in a story about a closet bottom. Mike Katz is my age. He was never much of a looker and like for most of us old farts, getting old didn't improve his appearance.

Joey, did you know that 'ass' is another word for 'donkey'? They're synonymous. You know, they mean the same thing.
Look Joey, no, no, not at my calves, look at my donkey. See it?
Hee-haw, hee-haw.

There have been many homosexuals in professional bodybuilding. There have also been countless number of "straight" bodybuilders that for the right price will go gay for a night.
This is nothing new in this industry. To be fair, I've never heard these stories about Mike Katz, but if true it wouldn't surprise me.
Mike seemed like a really nice guy, but holy fuck was he ugly. If he was indeed riding cocks, I can't imagine what poor soul could get hard with Mike's face hovering over them while beads of sweat pour over.

I`ve knon Katz for decades and once again you cock obsessed fucker, I call bullshit.
I think you`re the fag all you do is dream of big oily mens pricks.....seek help or seek a good bottom boy like the other clock afficianado Matt C.

My thoughts exactly with regards to his unhandsomeness. Age has done nothing to improve his appearance either. Why bother outing these guys all these years later when what they did in their prime probably has no bearing on who they are today. I find no satisfaction in reading Mike Katz was gay, bi, G4P or just into sex with whoever would consent to it. This is basically homophobic gossip which is pathetic.

Quite an odd looking build in that pic. Guy is all torso it appears,is it just me or does his torso appear strangely large.

Why would Lee Priest need to grill Ed Gulliani when he could have just asked his own venice host Ed Connors ;) Connors knew more about that scene and anyone that way than anyone else, and Lee like many on their introduction to Venice stayed with Ed until, they got themselves sorted. Im with the others Katz never struck me as any sort of a sexual guy in anyway in my brief encounters with him, the guy was a very boring individual.

I knew Ed Connors quite well. Ed was not a gossip queen. Now....Eddie Giuliani loved gossip and was a veey funny guy. Giuliani loved to tell stories about guys from the past. I mean...he loved to gossip. Same thing with Ric Drasin. Drasin had a bunch of bad shit in his closet so he was a hypocrite talking shit about other guys when it came to homo activity. Giuliani said that Waller dispiced all homo activity in any shape and form. And that Waller definitely had personal issues with Katz among others due to his homosexual actions and while still being a married man. Giuliani was very clear with absolute certainty that Katz and his training partner Joey were lovers. Katz would spend most of the summer in Venice...without his wife and children..Most fathers-husbands would not do such a thing for such a lomg stretch unless other issues were involved. Giuliani also mentioned that Katz would live rent free at an apartment complex in Pacific Palisades that was owned by the biggest, legendary Queen Schmoe by the name of Dudley Cowan. He paid for Mike's entire summers, food, drugs. Giuliani stated that Katz was a huge loner and was shunned by most of the other guys. And that while he trained with Arnold...that Franco hated Katz and that Franco would call Katz gay slurs in Italian and refer to him as "the finocchio".

BULLSHIT.......THE FAIRY TALE OF THE DAY BY OUR RESIDENT FAIRY.
So now Katz was fucking Joe Ugolik.....I`ve heard enough of your shit fuckface.
DID YOU HAVE A RAGING HARDON TYPING THAT ?
All the top guys flocked to Venice for contest season back in the day.....was Mike fucking all of them too?
YOU FUCKING CLOWN.
-
Katz here......dying to ask Bill Grant "Does Daddy have a big muscle?"
-
What an asshhole you are buddy.
In dont care who you are,who you know,where you trained,you`re still a fucking asshole from the word go.

Some things to say. I am dying laughing...at you calling me our resident fairy. I like that one....lol. And no.....Joe was the one fucking Katz. Every story ever told had Katz as a bottom....taker.....cock rider. He didnt fuck. And no....I did not have a raging hard-on while typing this thread up. I am not a homosexual. Just a fellow bodybuilder who was in the know for many years with many stories told to me. And I never said that Katz was fucking top guys. He liked to be fucked by younger up and coming bodybuilders. Most likely he preyed on guys that admired him or were aware of him from the magazines.

GO FUCK YOUSELF DICKHEAD.....NO REAL MAN HAS TO DEFEND HIS MASCULINITY YOU FAG.
YOU`RE IN THE KNOW ABOUT ALL THINGS DEALING WITH MENS ASSHOLES.....WHAT AN ACHIEVIEMENT.

I had my own encounter with Katz in an Atlantic City diner in the early 90s in which he explicitly told me....in his own words " I LOVE GUYS LIKE YOU". I was in my late teens at the time. Had just competed that day.....it was after prejudging....and in a diner. My grandfather was with me sitting in a booth waiting for our meal and I was waiting to use the restroom. Katz was the emcee of the event and I approached him for an autograph and to chat....while we were both waiting to use the toilet.Conversation ensued....autograph was given to me.....and then he dropped his crushing comment upon me. I was all fucked up by the encounter and have never forgotten his words.
-
What kind of weirdo is worried about who was sleeping with whom in the 1970s?? It's not like anyone looks up to Katz as their Hero and is going to care one way or the other if he was gay.

Whatever asshole....anyone can make up tall tales.
I`ve known him for eons.....since I was very young until now, and he was never like you describe him.....could it be that you are full of shit?

I am certain that Katz was not after every man. Nobody is saying that he wasnt a good man. Maybe he just wasnt into your type. He clearly preferred darker brunette men when wanting to be bottomed out.

Tommywishbone confirmed that Beefy was a hardcore competitive bodybuilder back in the day and that he is a solid, honest guy. Enough for me. I don't doubt these stories one bit. Hardcore bodybuilding has so many skeletons dangling everywhere. He isn't 'worried' about Katz and his sex life. This is the Gossip board of Getbig, so he is posting gossip for shits and giggles.

WAIT....
You said that Katz was NOT a scumbag, and yet you selected him, of all people, to disparage on Christmas?
You are a lonely deviant. No family. No friends.
Your thread is clearly cry for help.

He may have been a hardcore bodybuilder as were a zillion guys....doesn`t mean he`s telling the truth.
I know there are tons of gays in bodybuilding but this cat seems to love regaling us with his stories that mean jackhit since most of his bullshit is just his word no prooof whatsover......besides he` a fucking jerk.

Exactly who post homophobic accusations about a 75 year old man with vulgar details at 5am on XMAS? Did Katz molest this guy as a child or something?

That pic is from the Pumping Iron book. I always wondered why such a shit photo was used. Then there is the one of Arnold and Franco in bed, the one of Bob Birdsong in his wrestling suit......hmmmm......I just realised who the book was aimed at... :o

I highly doubt beefy is TP because TP seemed to sound very detached from bodybuilding. Probably because he had his own skeletons in his closet in the form of Colt mag spreads and Asian twinks

Chicherillo used to bicker with BEEFY IIRC. I think he said BEEFY was Joe DeAngelis but that guy is dead I think.

Could have actually been DeAngelis, with someone else taking over a while after his death. Slight shift in style. But not sure.

I thought it was Prime but he's carrying too much mass.

There is nothing explicit about this comment. He was likely thanking you for asking him for his autograph and you read into it that he wanted you to fuck him? Jeez, what a stretch. Did he grab your package and comment how big it felt? Did he put your hand on his ass?
-
I thought it was Prime but he's carrying too much mass.
Thanks for the compliment and the insult all rolled into one. Even in my 'prime' I never had as much mass as Titus or Katz did or either probably still does. I also never burned up my secretary/drug dealer, in the middle of the desert in a Jaguar nor have I have been as homely as Katz. One more thing...just to be clear...I have never uttered the words "I LOVE GUYS LIKE YOU" to anyone although a few folks made similar comments to me when I was in my prime.

BeefyHeavyWeight was really focused on sex and Mike Katz on Christmas Day 🎁. It’s perfectly normal to dwell on that stuff on Christmas. Also, he wanted us to know that Mike is not a scumbag in anyway. Another productive holiday for BeefyHeavyWeight.

It would not be too difficult to contact Mike Katz and inform him that Tom Prince is disparaging him.

I have said this before....many years ago. But it bears repeating. Mike Katz....though married for many years and with kids.....was a known closet bottom. This was told to me many times by a few select oldtimers. I was witness to Lee Priest grilling Eddie Giuliani about the rumor in World Gym in Marina Del Rey and Eddie giving Lee the rundown. Lee was in stiches....as was I and my training partner. It wasnt the first time I had heard the Katz stories. Here are 2 quickies that I had heard....plus I had my own encounter with Katz moons ago and had a personal "come on" from Katz. But here we go....Katz was known to cruise for younger up and comer bodybuilders everytime he visited NYC and was training at Tom Minichello's Mid City Gym. The late Bob Bonham told me that the word around the NYC-NJ area from Minichellos mouth was that Katz would get on top and ride the young guys raw without a condom. Also....Eddie Giuliani told Lee that Katz would come out to Venice without his wife when teaching job was off for summers and that he and his training partner from Pumping Iron...Joey....were summer lovers. I will get flamed in moments from many saying Katz was a saint. Not saying he was a scumbag at all....but the man was absolutely a closet bottom. Deal with it.
I knew Ed Connors quite well. Ed was not a gossip queen. Now....Eddie Giuliani loved gossip and was a veey funny guy. Giuliani loved to tell stories about guys from the past. I mean...he loved to gossip. Same thing with Ric Drasin. Drasin had a bunch of bad shit in his closet so he was a hypocrite talking shit about other guys when it came to homo activity. Giuliani said that Waller dispiced all homo activity in any shape and form. And that Waller definitely had personal issues with Katz among others due to his homosexual actions and while still being a married man. Giuliani was very clear with absolute certainty that Katz and his training partner Joey were lovers. Katz would spend most of the summer in Venice...without his wife and children..Most fathers-husbands would not do such a thing for such a lomg stretch unless other issues were involved. Giuliani also mentioned that Katz would live rent free at an apartment complex in Pacific Palisades that was owned by the biggest, legendary Queen Schmoe by the name of Dudley Cowan. He paid for Mike's entire summers, food, drugs. Giuliani stated that Katz was a huge loner and was shunned by most of the other guys. And that while he trained with Arnold...that Franco hated Katz and that Franco would call Katz gay slurs in Italian and refer to him as "the finocchio".
Some things to say. I am dying laughing...at you calling me our resident fairy. I like that one....lol. And no.....Joe was the one fucking Katz. Every story ever told had Katz as a bottom....taker.....cock rider. He didnt fuck. And no....I did not have a raging hard-on while typing this thread up. I am not a homosexual. Just a fellow bodybuilder who was in the know for many years with many stories told to me. And I never said that Katz was fucking top guys. He liked to be fucked by younger up and coming bodybuilders. Most likely he preyed on guys that admired him or were aware of him from the magazines.
Would Mike Katz’s lawyer consider this slander?
Thanks for dropping all those names, some of these people can definitely be contacted.

It’s incredible to see how fucking dumb BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT is... at the end of his first rant, he felt pressed to tell the board that Katz is not a scumbag at all.
Then he turned around and informed us about how various people hated Katz’s guts. And even indicated that Katz was preying on young bodybuilders.

Thanks for the compliment and the insult all rolled into one. Even in my 'prime' I never had as much mass as Titus or Katz did or either probably still does. I also never burned up my secretary/drug dealer, in the middle of the desert in a Jaguar nor have I have been as homely as Katz. One more thing...just to be clear...I have never uttered the words "I LOVE GUYS LIKE YOU" to anyone although a few folks made similar comments to me when I was in my prime.

Mike Katz is a Jew, so by default he is already lawyered up with a highly intelligent and successful Jew lawyer. I know a bodybuilder who once sued his own dad and brother, so the lesson learned is to never cross a bodybuilder….ever.

What kind of weirdo is worried about who was sleeping with whom in the 1970s?? It's not like anyone looks up to Katz as their Hero and is going to care one way or the other if he was gay.
Everyone makes a big deal about homosexuality on this board day in day out ...
Take the homo, "Schmoe" fruit cake", power bottom', G4P threads out of Getbig and .......what exactly do we have left ?
Btw, I have no idea what a "power bottom" is

There is nothing explicit about this comment. He was likely thanking you for asking him for his autographand you read into it that he wanted you to fuck him? Jeez, what a stretch. Did he grab your package and comment how big it felt? Did he put your hand on his ass?

Best nails in bodybuilding -
Joseph Ugolik used to make corrugated containers and other items as a factory worker. Now he has a new career.
“I took it because I just needed a big change,” said Ugolik, 38, who has become a manicurist.
Ugolik said he got the idea from some women friends who suggested he start cutting hair or doing nails after hearing how tired he was of factory work.
“At first I didn’t want to. It wasn’t anything I’d thought of before, and it wasn’t anything I thought a guy would do,” he said.
But soon he was thinking differently. And in doing so, he joined a trend: nail salons are cropping up everywhere.
Known as nail technicians, people such as Ugolik are doing more than buffing and polishing, and they’re doing it in some unexpected places.
“They’re going into gyms, they’re going into convalescent homes, they’re going into tanning salons,” said Lorraine Cewe, owner of the Connecticut School of Nails in Wallingford. The school runs a 40-hour program and graduates 55 to 65 people a year, Cewe said.
Ugolik gives manicures at the World Gym, a Wallingfordhealth club that his brother Nick Ugolik owns. Nick Ugolik said he knows club owners who are bringing in not only nail technicians, but hairdressers, tanning salons and the like.
“I guess people are just interested in going to one place to get all their needs met,” he said. “And I guess it’s still considered health and beauty, so they’re more or less getting it all done instead of going to the gym for an hour, running across town for a hair appointment and someplace else for a tanning appointment.”
To Ugolik, becoming a manicurist was a necessity.
“It wasn’t a dream of mine to do nails. I try to do anything to boost my income; I don’t care what it is,” he said. “I’ve been a welder, sheet- metal worker, box maker. I’ve done housecleaning – I was even an aerobics instructor. In fact, I’ll tie your shoes for $5. And I’m thinking of becoming a comedian.”
In becoming a manicurist, Ugolik has joined an industry that is growing nationwide, according to the “Nails 1993 Fact Book,” published by “Nails Magazine,” a monthly publication. Last year, nail services were a $4 billion-plus industry, the magazine said.
There were 750 nail salons in Connecticut in 1993; in 1992 there were 600, the magazine said. And 2,504 beauty salons included manicures in their list of services offered in 1993, up from 2,404 in 1992.
The magazine compiled the statistics from 2,200 nail technicians across the country who responded to a survey. According to the survey, the number of employed nail technicians in Connecticut has increased 10.2 percent, from 3,378 in 1992 to 3,723 in 1993.
Though business is picking up, the growth isn’t all for the good, said Jacqueline Verrone, who owns Jacqueline’s Nail Boutique in Wallingford.
“There’s not enough nail technicians who know what they’re doing,” she said as she filed and polished Griffin’s nails. “Anybody can do nails. You don’t have to be licensed.”
A lot can be done with nails. Besides teaching the theory of nail disorders and diseases, the Wallingford school teaches basic manicuring, hot-oil manicuring, tipping, acrylic nails, gel nails, sculptured nails, silk and fiberglass wraps, maintenance and designing, Cewe said.
It hasn’t been easy for Ugolik.
“I caught a lot of ribbing from some guys I knew for going into nails,” Ugolik said. But, he added, “If I can get paid for sitting there and holding a girl’s hand all day, I’d rather go for that.”

Im guessing things didn’t turn out really well for Joey. Sounds pretty desperate in the article. Bouncing around from one job to the next. He basically says he's willing to do anything to make a buck. Article is 30 years old. Wonder what Joey is doing these days?
I doubt Arnold remembers Joey anymore.

Finocchio is italian slang for queer/fag.
Years ago I read Franco's book "Coming on Strong" it was a cheap knock off of Arnold's "An Education of a Bodybuilder"- pretty much like everything else Franco did in his career.
There were some decent chapters about his time boxing and pictures from the 76 Olympia, if I remember correctly.
But I also recall a couple of chapters about his friendship with Katz. He spent alot of time talking about training with Mike and hanging out with him. He described Katz as a good friend but belabored the point that Mike was very sensitive, lacked confidence and often depressed/sad.
It's been a long time since I read that book, probably 35 years or more. But the chapters on Katz always stood out to me. They didn't really flow with the rest of the book.

Interesting on human nature. Often people are friends with people but may have mixed feelings and say things about them to others (like Franco to Waller or others for example) that would not be said to the person directly. Does not fully detract from being friends but would hurt just the same. Obviously whatever the reality, Katz had a lot going on at the time as can be seen through all the lines. Not the first one.
