Fantastic interview.
Mike cant read or write. Didn't know that.
Also, his bench is 600 NO SHIRT
815 squat with NO Belt, NO KNee wraps
760 deadlift no belt.

yes, mike is dyslexic since childhood, that's why he got into sports and bodybuilding so he could fit in and also be better than anyone else at something. so i have read in a previous article.

He hasn't overcome it yet? I know Jay Leno had it growing up
but can read cue cards reasonably well during his monologue.

I got no problem believing Mikes weights since I've seen a few
of his training clips and he is one strong mofo.

He says he's trying to deal with it the best he can,
it takes him a while to read scripts.

Mmm Thats impressive. He is a handicap and succesful. Good respect.

This is why GH15's spelling is atrocious.

So technically he CAN read and write, just very poorly. Big difference between that and not being able to read a word no matter how much he puts into it.

I have seen him lifting around 800lbs dead lift directly. He is strong.

I'am essentially quoting the magazine.
He graduated from school not being able to read and write,
and of course he is dealing with it the best he can.
It wasn't the main subject.

I'am rather impressed with his lifts. I've seen him lifting heavy,
real heavy.

Cool.

And he = hot as hell

Is he as hot in real life as he is in the photographs?

Scientology could cure all his problems.

If you ask me,
I think he is GH15.

The Barbarian Brothers are dyslexic and look how well they have adjusted

Matt C has a theory holding that intelligence and strength are inversely proportional in some people. He says it's why retarded kids have super strength and why Kevin Levrone expresses his carbohydrate intake in milligrams.
