yep and despite arnold  being below his par there are still outstanding pics taken from the contest. Even his quads here are impressive

They all thought Mike was going to be the face of Bodybuilding in the 80's .... then 1980 Mr.O happened .

Looks very good there.
Well balanced & in shape.
Knows how to pose.
A great vacuum shot,
jeez when was the last time we see a vacuum shot on a MR O stage.

IIRC that's not his original music on that video.

Ray Mentzer upped the dose!

Ray had a more classic bodybuilder look. That's  what I liked about Mike. He had a different look. I felt he stood out. The way his arms had this balloon-like look just hanging relax at his side. But not puffed up marshmellow look that Heath has. He looked hard as a rock and carved out of stone. He had a compact muscular density that you don't see much with other bbers except with Dorian.

Mike was a pure mesomorph IMO. Plus very handsome (yeshomo)

[oldschoolfan]

mike had a hell of a build

and was a great writer, 

probably the most talented bodybuilder writer out there.  i believe i read weider was paying him 150g's a year back in the early 80's  to write articles for his magazines.
