His incline bar press was 315 for less than one full rep all by himself (I spotted him), and everything else he did was equally shite.
Damn, that's even worse than I remembered! Nasser would've made me look like a total jerk-off at my biggest and strongest, but even little soft spud me could've easily outlifted him that day (and inclines are a bad movement for me).
Embarrassing. I wonder why Matarrazzo was all up on his dick about being an "incredibly strong human being" later on?
Eh, I withdraw that question, your honor, because we all know Mazz was full of shit, too. I remember hearing stories about him melting down and trying to fight Mentzer after Mr. Heavy Duty had torn him a new one in a NOC contest report (MD and the '96 NOC, I believe). I admit, it was a pretty shitty article; M.M. couldn't help to interject tons of irrelevant bullshit, like how most of the competitors still blindlessly followed "superannuated volume training." That said, his assessment of Spazo was correct. He showed up at an earlier looking like he was holding half of Lake Eyrie under his skin, then he "compensated" by slamming so much Lasix that even his arms and calves weren't stand-outs at that NOC.
