He's not curling that weight, he's doing negatives you know other guys lift the weight for him and he lowers it as slowly as he can which is probably around 3 seconds with that much weight since it's most likely at the end of his bicep workout.

  Yeah, and Mike won his first pro show naturally and never used any more than three drugs at once the way Lee did.  ::)

As strong as Mike was I hear Ray was the strongest. 225 text form I could see very few doing that today.

I read an interview with Mike years ago where he said he did no direct forearm work. So here is a clear case of genetics at its best.

He sadly missed an awesome oppurtunity for endorsing his own line of energy drinks... "Mike Mentzer's Haterade!" Now with 80% more urine!

Unsurpassed in all of bodybuilding. At it's peak, in contest ready condition, not even Ed Corney could hold a candle to that stache. It is the standard by which all moustaches are to be judged.
