Mike was thick and had a very impressive physique........
But...........
While I respect Mentzer for thinking on his own rather than just accepting the traditional methods, he always came off very bitter and jealous of Arnold. In my opinion he couldn't measure up to Arnold on his best day even when Arnold was at 75% in 1980. All bullshit aside. Mentzer couldn't even beat Zane. He finished 5th, period. Not 2nd, 3rd or 4th. The facts are the facts. I don't like what ifs and BS about fixed contests. Every competitor thinks that they should have won, but 5th place is 5th fucking place.
