Epitome of bitterness... Videos and pics don't lie, Arnold won that show in my opinion, altough smaller he dwarfed the competition, coupled with great conditioning and dryness... Mentzer was not in his best shape, that's another myth, no chest, average back, incredibly narrow with average structure, probably the first competitor showing a distended stomach...
this big Prussian son of a bitch standing there acting like a Nazi and trying to walk all over us.
You honestly think these legs are a weak point.
if arnold woulda told waller to get up and crack mentzer id bet on it that waller would have, arnold was their king
There is something about Mentzer's physique that when presented whole was one of the best ever. He didn't have any truly outstanding bodyparts, like say Arnold's biceps or chest or Platz like legs but this picture for me is just the epitomy of what bodybuilding should be.
Maybe he's in the top 40, but one the best ever?
Only man to ever receive a perfect score in the Universe. As individual body parts go, no. As a whole, yes. Aesthetics meant more years ago and should still today. Alas, more than ever it's all about the Ass Monsters, i.e., the Schmoes that judge today's competitions.
No disagreement there. However, the schmoes have always been in charge.
If i remember rightly arnold called mentzer later in life to bury the hatchet, didn't he offer to help him with medical expenses when he was ill?
Apparently, mentzer would often go to Arnold asking for money when he was broke despite slashing him off in the mags. The nerve of this delusional dead idiot.
unfortunately Mike let the outcome of the 1980 Mr Olympia effect the rest of his life and his happiness level
LOL!Jesus RMJ, you should just go find Mentzers grave and piss on it already. LOL.
