I'm just disappointed that nobody has bothered to mention that Mentzer had the greatest mustache of any bodybuilder. Even better than Ed Corney. And it use to be that any discussion about Mentzer and HIT went on and on and invariably grew ugly. Now it seems that anything to do with Mentzer breeds controversy and bitterness. This does prove that wide hips or not, his impact on bodybuilding was tremendous.

But I think that even Mentzer has had enough.


Are you suggesting that with that mustache he sported that he was indeed a NARC? He does look like a cop to me so I hear where your coming from...And as we all know most cops are fucking drunks so if the shoe fits :-\

Mentzer had a very good physique but his chest was lacking BIG TIME. And his shoulder-to-waist ratio was not that good (for a pro). And his back was OK but not great, same for his quads. Still, built an impressive physique.


Mentzers back was a weak point IMO, very little width or detail and no thickness to speak of.








As good as Mentzer looked by himself the fact is he was only 5'7, and like any good short guy he just got dwarfed by the big boys (like Arnold and Tinerino) during a contest.

Well, that works too, but i was just comparing their 5 years competing as PROS.  Obviously Mentzer was the more accomplished bodybuilder...

Mentzer competed only 2 years as a PRO-79 and 80 and he won only 1 PRO contest-Florida Pro Invitational,his PRO debut!

75-80 in IFBB shows for Mentzer...  Overall placings were higher.  He also had shows where he scored a perfect 300.

75-78 he competed as an amateur!However,I do agree,that Mentzer accomplished more as a competitor than Bob(although not by much),but that's not the idea of the topic.The idea was that Mentzer is overrated,bodybuilders with better physiques and more titles than Mike don't get half his recognition.

On last weeks probodybuilding weekly, Bob inferred that Mike Mentzer was very overrated and possessed "child bearing hips, no chest and a big ass." Is Bob correct in his evaluation of the Mentzer physique?

Certainly.

It took more than 20 years abusing drugs for Bob to get an IFBB pro card and finally did it with a poor lineup

Mike in his 20 won IFBB major contest with perfect score and was runner up at the O
