Jussup Wilkolz was a very strong mofo and an intense, bearded animal in the gym.

Wow how sad. I grew up seeing them in magazines. Mikes mannersisms remind me of people I used to talk to at 8 am in an after hours dance club

I remember reading an interview with Samir some years ago in which he stated that there were 6 plates (i think) on the bar and the Mentzers couldnt deadlift it. He apparently proceeded to do 3 reps with ease, in his words, so what is the likelihood in that?

Why did he have to light it after it was already lit? Why are they both slurring their speech and acting so lethargic? Sad. Stuttering and shit. Damn.

Mike is chain-smoking and damn, Ray talks some heavy shit about Jussup Wilkolz. Remember him?

OMG!

Like a patio of an asylum...

So sad...never gonna forget this!

Thanks for posting! $:-\$

Mike did use a word I never heard before so his mind wasn't gone.

What word?

Mr Nobody · « **Reply #38 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:16:42 AM »

The Mentzers where some smart individuals unfortunately when their lives starting going down hill the narcotics increased. I trained with Mike in 2000 in Venice at Gold's afterwards we sat down and talked about his BB career as he smoked a cigarette. I'll never forget it I still following his core training principles with a bit of modification of my own.

What word?

Mike mentioned Dorian doing weird stuff. Dorian was saying things he wouldn't ordinarily say, he was wild, and he was going out and fucking every woman he could find. Travelling the world...women want him. Ray said Dorian wasn't a very good looking chap. Mike replied that Dorian wasn't that bad. At least he wasn't a teratological person. That means monstrous. Teratology is the study of deformaties at birth.

Thanks, Vince. No way to prove this, if I'm even right, but Ayn Rand was a huge fan of Victor Hugo, who has used that word in a couple of his novels. Maybe that's where Mike got it from.

Wonder if Mike was always a smoker or if he took up the habit just to conform more to Ayn Rand's ideology.

Really? This is sad, how about the current state of bodybuilding?

Also, they are near death and obviously medicated. Mentzer was sharp in his day, name anyone from this Century in BB that is even articulate? "Light Weight!"

And, yes, Mike did G4P.

How do you know this specifically???

Very sad, regarding they were only in their late 40s. They look and act like 70, that's what heavy abuse does to you.

All i have to say is people change....some for the better and some for the worse. But the great thing about life is that we're all entitled to our decisions at the end of the day.

A very profound statement, Big Nav. Thanks for that.

The 600-pound deadlift scene, yeah, I remember reading about that, too, man. Six plates (585). Samir had just walked in and, without a warmup, pulled it, and quite easily.

It doesn't shock me that the Mentzer brothers couldn't hoist it, either. As I say, these guys were all drugs ... but came to the belief that their training methodologies were the answer. Total horseshit.
