The real True He-Man ! better and wider than you know who, and never won a pro show.WooOSSHHHHH
Mendenhall did a seminar at Golds Gym in Sunrise FL back around 86 or 87. His Physique was unreal balanced thick round full muscle. His calves and legs were great.
He was banging Rachel McLish too.......has to count for something.
Bob Paris: 6 ftBerry de Mey: just over 6 ftMatt Mendenhall: 5 ft 11Most builders simply are too short, and gutted, and too much fake tan, and out of proportion etc etc
One cannot control how tall they are. What they can control is how proportionate and symmetrical their muscular development is within the limits of their body type, be it endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph or some combination therein. Obviously how tanned they wish to appear is up to them. Unfortunately, the darker one is the better their definition appears, which gives darker skinned folks the advantage under lights.
Nope, very dark can make you less ripped under the lights
How is Rory looking these days? Coach, I know you have trained with him in the past.
Supposedly this is recent
In my mind, Bob Paris is a true uncrowned Mr. Olympia and the finest poser ever to grace a dais. Superb.
a few years back, I found this book on sale in a book store, it was only $2.A lot of interesting stuff related to that era of BB.
I agree. Some of us take longer to realize this than others. I've fought an internal battle with this for years. I'd decide lean out when I would take steps to lose weight and hopefully regain what my natural bodyweight would be. At some point, often about where I am now at 185 lbs. where I'd check myself out in the mirror and freak out, seeing myself as the skinny kid I once was and so desperately wanted to change, which is why I started working out in the first place. So, I would start lifting in earnest and eating more to regain the size I'd just lost. It was a unhealthy cycle in which I seemed hopelessly caught.As I said, at the bottom of the cycle, I've usually gotten down to what I currently weigh. Right now, I am happy with how I feel and look at 185 lbs. I don't care that I don't look like a bodybuilder. Hopefully, I just look like a old guy who is reasonably fit. I feel great. I suspect my cholesterol has gone down some. I bought new clothes that aren't swimming on me and for once, gave away the old clothes. Along with this new way of thinking, I have no plans to workout as intensely as I have in the past. I'll still hit the gym on a regular basis, but I am now going to concentrate on just being fit and not building muscle. If I can retain most of what I've gained in muscle over the last 50 years, I'll be doing great and I will be happy with myself.
you might be the most delusional person on this site. do you really think:a) anyone caresb) your physique merits a second thought, from anyoneserious questions
rory was one of my favorites back in the 80,s,i heard stories of rory rowing with 505 back then,they say he was brutally strong all around.him and jon arinita had some brutal sessions back then
The word is spelt - "Pictures".
Rory was one of the first mass monsters weighed about 285 in the off season with a small waist.
