He was/is a very creepy guy. Really into controlling people amongst other weird shit. A very strange dude. Be interesting to run a background check and see if he's done some time...
Tell us more what was his issue?

Far from the best of those who never turned pro. Weird structure, droopy shoulders. Droopy pecs.

Plus he always stood like Kyomu, leaning to the side.  :D

Look at Paris standing next to him... now that's aesthetic.

pleasing physique, but paris had height, perfect structure, small joints, good attachments and his ability to blow up from small and bloofy to big and in shape was amazing, must have been "genes"... ;)

How the fuck would you know? You didn't know who half these people were until you started stalking this place. Did you know him? if so from where?

Leidelmeyer placed 2nd in the LHW class (!) at the 1981 Mr. America. He came in shredded, but Belknap took it all.



I was at that show and trained with Rory during that time. Jeff Feliciano trained him for that show if I recall and told to stop training two weeks prior to the show. As a result between hardly eating and no training coupled with amphetamines, he dropped to about 190 and flattened out. Remember Rory is 6'1. If he would have came in heavier, ate more and trained he would have taken the whole show.

Great physiques on Matt Rory and Fletcher, all three in my opinion look better than the likes of Branch, bodybuilding and the current look is sad in comparison, you had to have a structure to compete once, now you just have to abuse drugs.

Adonis is thinking of Jeff King, who in my opinion would have given Haney a run for his money had he been allowed to compete.

Let's just say that the IFBB qualification system allows a few guys to slip through the cracks.

Matt Mendenhall had the greatest potential
of anyone who didn't turn pro. He never nailed
his conditioning but if they had gurus back then
he would have been one of the best.
He had wide clavicles, huge back, flaired thighs,
good calves and could of put on a lot more muscle
without ruining everything.
Here at the 91 Nats standing next to Levrone and Demayo
gives an idea how tall and wide the guy was.

Mendenhall and Leidelmeyer were great BBers but Edgar Fletcher was the best that never turned Pro.
