WEIRD that santoriello did nothing as a pro he he had good shape,full dense muscle and pretty good conditioning for that era so to speak..
He had great proportions, as you said dense muscle, great arms, chest , legs, abs... I don't recall if his back was anything special..
He had 2 problems. 1) he was a manlet 5'7" or so and 2) he was a retard. Would spend more time doing blow and screwing hookers than training.
There are recent interviews with him. He's supposedly clean now, found Jesus, but he's a wreck. You can see the tweaker inside of him struggling to keep it together.
IDK what the fuck he was thinking, it was the late 80's the California bodybuilding scene was still thriving, bodybuilding was still growing in popularity. Weider wanted to put him on magazine covers with broads in bikinis on beaches... and he wanted to smoke crack in New Jersey.
