Trained like a beast, a bit to much of know-it-all, died to young, shoulda beat Arnold at the O.

I got to meet him and Boyer Coe at a
small seminar they did in my city in 1981-82.
I got to talk to both of them quite a bit
because I was an inquisitive 16 year old.
He was still in good shape and big.
His training theories in part had a lot of validity.
Just listen to the 1st 15 seconds of this video.

Validity for sure, though Mike got obsessed by the volume dilemma... Arnold was a high volume guy and Mike was keen on proofing him wrong - for all eternity  8)
I've read Mentzer's 5 books and tried it to a T for about 2 months.... though this is very short if you take into consideration I trained every 5 or 9 days.

Mentzer, Coe, Zane, even Dickerson, Roger Walker, Roy Callender and possibly even Tinnerino due to conditioning all were superior to Arnold that day.

That is likely true...Waller was very strong, played football as a pro in Canada, and was known to be a fighter
