Never got the Mike Mentzer thing. He was always talking about how smart he was. Does dropping out of undergraduate pre med after a year or two qualify as proof he could have been a doctor?

Don't get me wrong. I think I have the definitive collection of Mike Mentzer's writings.  His writings still influence me today.

Yup.  I wouldn't call him a prime example of idiot-savant but one need not be a genius to either compose or see the logic behind his reasoning as regards bodybuilding.  You just need to be able to think rationally about training.

Coleman on the other hand is just prime idiot-idiot or better still fook-tard.

Yates always came across as putting logical thought into everything he did...

Nasser was fluent in several languages and graduated as an electrical engineer

Arnold was the smartest of them all....

Joe Weider. He "thought" he could be a great bodybuilder. He found out that he was better at making money, so he created an empire off of bodybuilding and bodybuilders.

Alright, we went over what makes a blue collar bodybuilder. Now can we establish what makes a thinking-man's bodybuilder? Who qualifies?
Thinking about what exactly?  ???

I would hazard that anything other than just training, eating, pooping, taking drugs and selling oneself to schmoes.    Stuff like...Music, books, theatre and film.  Travel, cars, women, marriage, family. 

Life. Real life instead of the imitation most seem to have.
