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.

What about this guy???

Pete Grymkoski was no slouch in the moustache department but he simply wasn't in Mike's league. The subtle curve at the lower, outer edges, the overall fullness and the sheer majesty of Mentzer's stache is simply unmatched even by today's standards. Grymko, I will grant you, showed promise, but he simply retired from the game far too early to achieve his full potential.

That Arnold pic where he's doing the limbo is from a weightlifting competition when he was around 16, so it's about who can lift the most weight etc.
So pointing to it as some kind of example of Arnolds normal lifting form would
be kinda silly.

I have heard that Mike Mentzer used to smoke a pack of cigerettes a day.

Mike's forearms made love and gave birth to Hazbin.

sure mike had great forearms (no doubt), but the angle of the pic helps ALOT.

^^
I saw Mike in 1994 (one of 4 pros I've met) he had super-huge forearms and I doubt he'd trained in years.

Yes Mike had good form on wrist curls, that is the source of his development.

Mike Mentzer= delusional fucktard who got his ass handed to him by Arnold.........Mike then went nuts rampaging around the streets spouting philisophical nonsense and, drinking his own piss. What a legend.

Sounds like he would have deffo been a member of this site then.

He even had the proper sex pest look going on.

I had a buddy in college who would curl 185 for sets of 6-8 and hammer curled 70's. Didn't have a good chest or shoulders, but dudes arms were strong as fuck. He was only taking test dbol and deca. I'm sure these pros could curl two plates a side for a few.
