I remember reading an article about this guy during my early career many, many years ago - called "Intensity or Insanity".
You should check it out, it is well worth the read, and you get an impression of how much of a nut case this guy really was.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/animalpak5.htm
The gym attendant pointed towards an area of equipment that was roped off and said, "Steve is over there training but I wouldn't bother him if I were you!" Well, Mr. Gym attendant, you're not me, I thought to myself. After all, I was an aspiring champion who had placed fifth in the recent local teenage contest and I figured that Steve would be happy to talk to me. Well, our meeting went something like this... "Hi Steve, I'm John DeFendis, and I wondered if..."
I didn't even get to finish my sentence when this hulk of a man transformed into something monstrous. I wished that I had brought along a cross or a wooden stake to drive through his heart because that would have been the only way to prevent what was about to happen next. He threw the dumbbells he was curling at my feet and started screaming hysterically, "I'm going to kill you if you don't get the hell out of here. I'll kick your ass. Get the hell out, and don't ever come near me while I'm training!"
Such a boss. 8)

WIKI Doesn't have it, but his official facebook does. POSE IN PEACE.

He was the original Sarcasm in the gym....LOL

63? Gone too soon. :'(
Steve Michalik, Mr. Universe 1975, shudders to recall his bad old days as a skin-popping juice pig. Anadrol, Dianabol, and other steroids had taken him to the title, but Michalik noticed that his body had begun to plateau. Upping his dosage to Presleyan proportions, he still couldn’t pack on the meat mass he craved. So he struck out for the hardcore fringe in search of the next big thing.
He found it in a monkey’s head, drinking the hormone-rich goop that flowed out of the hypothalamus gland. (It seemed like a good idea at the time.)
Michalik is the first to admit he was pretty far gone by the time he started snacking on monkey brains. When he wasn’t throwing people through windows or bashing trucks in with 300-pound railroad ties, Michalik pimped for the physician who supplied him with his precious black-market prescriptions.
Aspiring bodybuilders “had to find out sooner or later that the road to the title went through Dr. X’s office,” Michalik told the Village Voice in 1991. With the doctor’s lock on such high-end supplements as Primobolan and Parabolin, “nobody was gonna get to be competition size unless they put out for him.” In exchange for a stack of steroid scrips, Michalik brokered love connections for the doctor with a string of title hopefuls.
The doctor’s drugs were so powerful, “you felt them immediately in your muscles,” Michalik recalled.
And then there were their sexual side effects, including almost constant erections. “One of my friends, a former Mr. America, used to get so horny on tour that he’d fuck the Coke machine in his hotel,” Michalik said. “Swear to God, he’d stick his dick right in the change slot and bang it for all he was worth.”
So, in exchange for drugs, he brokered love connections for the doctor with other bodybuilders but we're supposed to believe that he didn't put out himself? Sorry, I'm not buying that. He put out!
We'll call it G4Roids! ;D

iinspiring.

I met him a few times at a gym I used to train at where he did some personal training. Was still a big dude and was really nice.
-
:'( shame. i crossed paths with him once at the old hess brothers store in allentown pa. he was appearing funny thing was when people asked him questions dr jules levine who was there with him would answer. i found this rather odd.
-
I'll do 80 sets for back today, in his honor.

Good riddance. Every interview I'd read or seen of his is full of sensationalized bullshit. He did nothing but promote ignorance and lies when it came to bodybuilding and bodybuilding drugs.

Great proportions - R.I.P.

I always heard he was a royal asshole. When one of his "pupils" didn't win a local bodybuilding show, he'd make a real stink over the guy who won. "The most muscular STICK!" he'd yell of the winner.
There was a dude at Ironage who was a sworn disciple of Steve, doing all of the Intensity or Insanity workouts. He loyally stuck by Steve for a long time and never improved, dropping down to like a heavy bantam or something after many years of toiling away. The only way he finally started to improve was to get as far the fuck away from that stupid "hurf durf 100 sets per bodypart" bullshit Steve "Anadrol? 200mg daily!" so-called "guru" as he could.
Steve was also VERY quick to blame all of his health problems on drugs. We all know he abused the hell out of anabolics but plenty of other douchebags have used every drug in the book, been ten times the bodybuilder he was, and yet they're not pushing up daisies or suffering from horrifically bad health.
I won't even touch on his stupid surf-dumping bullshit with Defendis. The man was crazy. If he had family, I hope they soon come to cope with his loss. Otherwise, who can cry or mourn someone who might tease you for doing the same?
-
Defendis' still big and natual!

MANHASSET, NY (WCBS 880) - As part of a three-way kidney exchange at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, former Mr. Universe Steve Michalik got a new chance at living.
WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs In Manhasset
Steve Michalik as Mr. Universe 1975 (credit: Mike Xirinachs / WCBS 880)
Now, he knows he received his life-saving organ from Katrina Petway of Baldwin.
There was some good-natured gratitude at their first meeting.
“[I've got these] up emotions and these down emotions. I’ve been crying and I’ve been laughing. I’ve been yelling and… I’m wondering, ‘Now I know. I got a female kidney!’ of course!” he Michalik.
“It’s pretty cool. I had no idea,” said Petway.
“That makes you part Mr. Universe,” Michalik said.
All the donors and recipients met for the first time on Wednesday.
The former Mr. Universe added, “thanks for my new lease on life.”
LEASE TERMINATED. reason: buggery and pathological aversion to the truth.

With all his chemical horror stories* in mind, it's amazing that he became 63

Supposedly became a really nice guy in his older years.
Realized a lot of the shit he did in his bodybuilding days was f *&^ed up. Seemed to regret it.
Did a lot of roids and rec drugs. Tons of shit.
Didn't he kill a man? Got off on self defense. Guy was trying to murder him.

Dr. Walter Jekot.
Duchaine did the same thing with him. Said to have pimped out Bill Phillips of EAS fame to him.

Must be slightly before my time - I've barely even heard of this guy.
Nonethelss RIP.

Yep buddy, Defendis is still rockin' it.

Medical miracle. Considering his behaviour, I'm really surprised he didn't pass away earlier and/or didn't suffer many more injuries...

It seems he ended his life himself with a gunshot to the head. :o

He was.... a steroid abuser, who bullshited everyone all life long about a "healthy and fit lifestyle" while injecting and poping orals like candies in his closet, just like every single buffoon from his era. Great role model, a "legend" yeah ::).

I had my doubts about the Platz level of leg development on that photo, thank you for correcting.
Michalik was about intensity and insanity. Even if half what has been written about him was true ;D.
Still, despite his extreme training and attitude, to me he didn't seem significantly better than other top quality builders from that era.
-
Wowthat sux.................dude used to train his ass off!!
(http://www.midwestchristianbodybuilding.com/sm2.jpg)
RIP
Wes, didn't Michalik give up bodybuilding quite early to pursue a career on Madison Ave? I think he had a high maintenace wife, very hard to support on a bodybuilders income. I remember reading a bit on him in Pumping Iron. His pics in the book were quite unimpressive, as I recall.

I`m not really sure,but he did disappear for a while........could be because of that accident with a garbage truck or something.
His pics in the book PI were terrible................ real small looking.
On a sidenote,I never believed half of the bullshit he wrote about his gear use............just tried to be sensational and stay in the limelight IMO.
-
Pathological liar and scumbag.
STILL on anabolics to the end! Same with natural liar DeFendis.
These guys NEVER got off, just lied their face off.
Plus Michalik seems to have been a Scientologist.
-
in the doc bigger,stronger,faster he makes a complete ass of himself.railing against aas.a couple in the little group hes training are obviously on.
-
No loss, by all accounts he was a huge douchebag and asshole, even in his old age - In 'the man who's arms exploded' he seemed like a pathetic lost old man who was willing to spout outrageous lies about the dangers of AAS in exchange for a few more minutes of camera time and a 3-figure paycheck

steve would say what ever the producers of any show wanted him to say.. you want sensational? steve was your man.. he could lie with the best of them.. the guy goes and kills himself in a house were kids were playing in the next room..

Valentino is even worse in that doc.
I don't know why, but I find myself wondering what happened to that British kid who wanted to be a pro bodybuilder.
Probably dead or in jail. :(

Guess so. This is what Valentino said:
THIS IS WHAT I HEARD FROM A CLOSE SOURCE >> HE WENT TO HIS EX-WIFE'S HOUSE AND SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD!!!....THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THE NEXT ROOM!!!...I FEEL BAD FOR HIM BEING SO DESPERATE BUT AT THAT SAME TIME HE WAS A SELFISH SELF CENTERED PRICK!!!...HE WANTED THE EX-WIFE TO SEE HIM KILL HIMSELF, SO SHE WOULD BE TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE!!...A CONTROL FREAK TO THE END!!!!... JUST LIKE DOCTOR NADLER WHO WAS A QUACK ( HE DID PLASTIC SURGERY YET HE WAS JUST AN EAR NOSE & THROAT DOCTOR ) HE SHOT HIS WIFE IN THE HEAD , THEN HIMSELF, LEAVING THEIR SON DEVISTATED!!!....SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT STEVE M ,,, HE NEEDED MENTAL HELP!!!...HE WASN'T A BAD GUY JUST VERY VERY SELF CENTERED AND WHACKY TILL THE VERY END!!!
-
Did he shoot himself?? Hmmm, is it possible he was shot by someone :-\
Just throwing it out there.
He actually never got into fights just shouting matches, liked to scare with size never hit anyone.

Great BB but if the following from the article is only half true he was a bit of a dick
''He threw other people through the plate-glass windows of his Mr America's Gym in Farmingdale, New York, because they watched him train and thus drained him of his energy.'' :D
-
". . . He was further influenced by an uncle who taught him about energy, matter and atomic physics, and how those concepts might be applied to exercise science. . . "
Shut the fuck up.
