This is actually an amusing interview.
Ray Mentzer:
“Try to use my brain to keep all the distorted weird perverted decadent souls away from me.”

You can see from that thumbnail that he had good genetics, but that Mike's were a little better.
Is it true that Ray Mentzer had a 900-lb squat?
-
Very intelligent.
Had a good philosophy at that point in his life
Went off the rails later.

A thread should be started on this topic

He was a strong fucker by all accounts,but I doubt that claim.
Vince Basile would know more about his lifting since they stayed with him or vice versa at one point IIRC.

Much rather read this than some utter horseshit about 4 countries I don't give a shit about. I mean, 2 of the worst places on earth are at war with 2 more of the worst places on earth. I hope they all bomb each other off the face of the planet.
Now, let's get down to business. I think this heretofore unknown tape recording of the intellectual giant Ray Mentzer gives us indisputable proof that the Mentzers were "unpersoned" by the Weiders and Arnold. Whoever leaked this tape better be very, very careful that their identity is never revealed.
I think we can see that the younger Mentzer was stronger in his convictions.
"Highly overplayed through commercialism to the layman who is ignorant and naive, again, to what the health people are doing. It's a very dangerous thing to overdose on vitamins. It's a drug in itself"

I hated Mentzer in print, but both of them are good on video/audio. He reminds me of the Kenny Powers HBO character in this. The Aussie reporter seals the deal.
On the squat claim I don't believe it also, at least not a full squat. The Mentzers did partials and holds sometimes, probably some York influence with that, them growing up so close. I remember Mike talking about doing a #1400 1/8 squat once in a magazine, so I could see the #900 being some type of partial.

He seems pretty well spoken.
-
I wonder if he felt the 1980 MrO was fixed.
