It's no fun looking at his old vids knowing he said it was definitely not worth it.

Much respect for that man.

I was at the 1996 Night of Champions.
I saw Mike Mentzer there.
Matarazzo competed. He was top 5.
Afterwards, Matarazzo got so upset with Mentzer because Mentzer said that Matarazzo was gaunt. Mentzer did coverage of the show for one of the magazines.
I was in agreement with Mentzer. But he probably should not have used the word “gaunt”. LOL. Mentzer was pretty accurate with that assessment. Mike was still big and ripped. But it looked like he was 10-12lbs smaller than expected (I guess that is better than showing up too heavy).
Mentzer was very complimentary of Flex, Ronnie, and Gunter (they were all in shape, and displayed great muscle mass and fullness)
Matarazzo spoke to a Flex Magazine and he thrashed Mentzer. It was probably very awkward at Gold’s in Venice for a while after that.

I remember when ESPN took off that bodybuilding show and replaced it with billiards. Was the billiard pool competition really more popular than the bodybuilding show?
Really sad how Mike's health deteriorated. Truly had insane arms and calves. He had a by pass surgery before he died then was waiting on a heart transplant. His own words below.
"Oh, god, where do I begin? I'd have to say that everything that led to my heart problem began the minute I started getting serious about competitive bodybuilding. In order to get bigger, I'd eat five, six, seven pounds of red meat a day, no vegetables. And I'd stay away from fruits because of their sugar.
Worst were the chemicals. I have so many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest, and doing unspeakable things to my body—steroids, growth hormones, diuretics—anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look.It has affected my whole life, so to all those guys who are on an eternal quest to have 21" arms and 20" calves, and who are so vain about their never-say-die attitude, I say, "Change your attitude." Worry about keeping that body of yours as healthy as possible, because it's going to have to last you not just through your next contest or to the end of your bodybuilding contract, but for a long time. And a long time for a human being is nothing. It goes by real quick, even quicker when your health is gone and you have nothing to stand live for
"I know it was the drugs that caused this to happen to me and I don’t give a shit what anyone says. All these gurus and self-proclaimed steroid experts that try to downplay the risks are just talking out of their ass. They have no idea what will happen to people. Nobody in my family ever had heart problems. It was the steroids I took for years. Anytime you put a powerful artificial drug in your body you are taking a chance. Most guys think nothing bad will ever happen to them. But you watch – you will be seeing more and more serious heart problems and worse once these guys hit forty."

Refreshing to hear the truth.....

Mike was amazing when he won the USA. He didn't have the back to place well at the pro level. I wished he would have called it day and did life differently.
-
Would’ve been a cool social media “influencer” physique with the freaky arms and calves. Ultimate gym physique

I would say the two have similar levels of popularity...With Billiard/pool being slightly more popular.

That's sad but I doubt if he would have lived long anyway. The men in his family died young. The steroids and diet just sped up the process a few years.

probably never even worked his calves
-
I met Mike one time back in the pump up room at the Masters Nationals where he was a guest poser,when I told him I was also from Massachusettes he talked to me for over a half an hour............seemed like a really great guy.
Sidenote: he was a bit over 300 pounds and looked terrible,he apologized to the audience about being out of shape, and did his routine anyway.......ripping off his shirt and posing.....then went down into the audience and posed...........the people loved him and gave him a standing ovation regardless of his lack of conditioning.
RIP

Big yet still pleasant to the eye. Would assume those are what pro delts look like without SEO, and what great abs look like without insulin and moderate GH.

Amazing Mass
But a super fan immediately sees faults and where he lacked mass ;D
What I picked up on is how his left arm is smooth, like a sausage.

Bingo. He said he was born with them:
"Mike Matarazzo, whose calves are about the best developed in the sport, says that they’re a genetic gift he inherited them from his father, who never trained and who had even bigger calves than Mike’s."

Sonny Schmit never trained calves, he said his dad and brothers all had great calves and didnt train

Come on man, it's not sbout disparaging the man, it can also be about why he didn't place even better than he did. I'm comparing him to a certain "pro standard" on hardness in this case. If I say no one is harder looking than Dorian I'm not saying my arms are better than any other pro, some guys set standards who everyone is compared to 8)

They had a pic of his dad years ago (mid 90's) in Flex. He was a mailman and did most of his deliveries by walking cart in the city. He had absolutely monstrous calves, that he attributed to genetics and his mail route. Looked like a normal pudgy guy, till you got down to the calves that would put 99.9% of bodybuilders to shame.

Please, correct me if I’m wrong but 5lbs of red meat per day is a pretty scaled up version of the Elimination diet, which is quite healthy actually. Maybe not at the level he was consuming but even in off season I had never seen him fat. So basically 400g protein 360g fat and 6,000 calories. That really doesn’t seem horrible compared to any random McDonald’s eating fat fuck out there. Plus, it’s lacking all the processing chems food has here. my best guess would be that he never paid any attention or even had any bloodwork done, and he probably had extremely high hemoglobin and extremely high hematocrit, and it basically gummed up his system and his whole cardiovascular system up

If you look at my post above,he was guest posing and was over 300 pounds and looked terrible.....he may just have then a layoff....not dispariging Mike cuz he was a great bodybuilder.

Afterwards, Matarazzo got so upset with Mentzer because Mentzer said that Matarazzo was gaunt. Mentzer did coverage of the show for one of the magazines.
I was in agreement with Mentzer. But he probably should not have used the word “gaunt”. LOL. Mentzer was pretty accurate with that assessment. Mike was still big and ripped. But it looked like he was 10-12lbs smaller than expected (I guess that is better than showing up too heavy).
Mentzer was very complimentary of Flex, Ronnie, and Gunter (they were all in shape, and displayed great muscle mass and fullness)
Matarazzo spoke to a Flex Magazine and he thrashed Mentzer. It was probably very awkward at Gold’s in Venice for a while after that.
When he dieted down for a pro contest he did look "thin." Yes, I know, he was a jacked 250lbs. But he disappeared from the side. I remember Ronnie just dwarfing him in '98 but they were close to the same bodyweight. Mike didn't have a 3d look like the great pro's

Mike had an amazing ability to be inspiring and interesting. Hate what happened to him, but was a huge inspiration to me as a kid in the 90's.

Sonny and Mike now have the best calves of the entire cemetery.

That would be his pre contest diet.

Genetics are the best workout.

Worthless to check out a calves workout of somebody who was born with calves like that ::)
But he was a pretty good-lookin' dude for a heavyweight BB (no homo), u gotta give him that. He kinda had this all-American hero look to him with his chiseled jaw-line :D

Mike was among my favorites, especially with his crazy calves, biceps, and that cannonball delt-trap combo from his Mega Mass commercials. I still can’t figure out why he didn’t improve after his 1991 overall USA win. He may have added some size, but that extra weight seemed to take away from the sharpness of his 233-pound pro qualifier look.
I don’t know much about the specifics of drugs, but I wonder if his Mega Mass look was influenced by heavy oral steroids like Anadrol. He looked incredibly full and thick in those photos. When he came in with a tighter midsection, though, he didn’t quite have that same cannonball delt appearance.
I also remember him saying he had to go to extremes just to compete, and being in contest shape was always a struggle for him. I guess he was the ultimate gym bodybuilder type—built for size and fullness but not for the extreme definition the stage demanded.
Below is his 1991 look if I am not mistaken.
-
Interview and pics from his earlier pro days, pics are probably taken just after his Mr. USA win.

Evidently calves don't cause many pro contest wins.

Looking at photos of Mike’s dad, you get a different story than the one he tells. He talks about his dad like he was this powerhouse—boxing in the military, weighing 270 pounds at just 5'9", and built like a brickhouse. But in one photo, there’s a younger Sr. holding Mike as a kid, and he actually looks pretty normal—solid, but not the monster Mike describes. Later on, you see an older version of Sr., who’s gone morbidly obese with thick calves, but definitely not the '22-inch melons' Mike likes to hype up. It feels like Mike’s memory is a bit idealized, seeing his dad through a lens of pride.
Same with him saying he put on 45 pounds in a month naturally, although he was one of the most solid pros personalitywise and being a genetic freak of highest order, he was also a bit delusional imo.

The bs story about his family calf genetics was probably run to distract from his extreme gear use. BB media published so much nonsense over the decades.
Arnold gained 30 lbs (13,6 kilos) of muscle through steroids. No many bodybuilders trained harder than Arnold or had much better genetics.
So gaining 45 lbs of muscle in one month....that must have been one hell of stack of all kinds of PEDs....

He looks phenomenal in photos. Why did he not win more pro contests? Was it dieting, holding water?

More puzzling one is why he couldn't improve one bit after turning pro?
He was on cover of so many magazines when he turned pro at 24 beating some of the all time greats and his rookie pics are insanely freaky, maybe he burned out his receptors early on?!
But I don't think he was on same level with Jay Cutler or Dennis Newman ever. Lacking back and chest was a big deal to be an Olympia during those golden years of bodybuilding.

He said to me ( I worked with his wife at a nightclub) “ I never ever want to or will do/ take what I had to do/ take to turn Pro)

Wow, thanks for the info!
Now it makes sense one of the things he said "I had to go through extremes to able to turn pro" I guess conditioning was a big struggle for him as he almost died during 93 Arnold due to his diuretic use.

"When Mike Matarazzo went pro, he learned the hard way that it was a whole different level. It was hard to impress anyone with his size alone. Razor-sharp relief was what he needed! However, his attempt to achieve "nuclear quality" at the 1993 Arnold Classic almost ended in tragedy. In pursuit of super relief, Mike overdid it with diuretics and potassium, a mineral that thickens the blood very strongly. At the same time, he hardly drank! On the podium, Matarazzo weighed 109.5 kg and looked phenomenal, not getting lost against such megastars as Flex Wheeler, Lee Labrada and Paul Dillet, and managed to take an honorable sixth place. However, at what cost! "I could hardly pose, I was cramping up," Mike recalled, "at times my eyes went dark and I couldn't see anything." As a result, the athlete ended up in a hospital bed, and doctors had to work hard to bring him back to health. “I was lying in a ward, my parents were next to me, and I could not understand what made me almost kill myself,” Matarazzo recalled about those events years later.”
