I have his original Bulletin One in really good shape. It was  put together with staples. It sits in a plastic container in my basement. I bought it many decades ago and the last time I read it was maybe 40 years ago.

All these genius guys never seem to look very healthy. Even Mentzer turned into a slob at the end. If it only takes 2 minutes to be in shape why aren't they?

Interesting stories. Generally sounds like an asshole tbh. Aggressive self promoter and monopolizer of conversation.

Wonder how much is true. Boyer Coe said he believed AJ was doing work for the CIA. Seemed to have unlimited funds but no one really knew how he made his fortune. It would be interesting to read a thoroughly researched and unbiased biography about him.

Despite his training philosophies a clever man.

Let`s just hope he doesn`t start drinking his own piss,trying to rob banks with a cigar, and running around Kitty Hawk naked as a jay bird!  ;D

Well, if he truly espoused Randian objectivism, he wouldn't have cared what the judges thought. He would have recognized the merits of his own physique and continued to compete. Like Dicketson or Bannout, both who went on to win the Olympia.

Politics didn't do him in. Sleeping for only 3 or 4 hours a night then compensating with amphetamines for months on end did him in.

This small handed Phaggit is STILL complaining about Mentzer?

Mike obviously was placed where he placed because of Schwarzenegger. Arnold has a long history of being a piece of shit.

They live in their own head. Overthinking training instead of just doing it, like fat people and dieting. Paralysis by analysis.

Bill Pearl gives his opinion on Jones' training methodology, i.e. HIT.

Simply put he says it is nonsense.

Pearl's advices to Jones about how to market the Nautilus machines made Jones wealthy.

The best part was when Pearl told Jones if you ever threaten me with a gun again I will stick it up your ass.

Royalshitty, Ive had you on ignore for weeks now..
 Not once have I been tempted to even peek at your feeble ramblings...

I have a mental image of you (Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs) and every time I see your name I see Buffalo Bill talking but no sound. Silenced lamb of peace.
