Casey Viator (who also did HIT) was one of the strongest (along with Bertil Fox).

True... but Pearl did very well with volume. I believe in leaving the gym with "Gas in the Tank".

I heard ray used to squat 925 lbs in training... :o

Not this shit again.

These two Mentzer twats did lots of partial squats. Like, three-inch partials. And anyway, there's no way in high hell some 250-pound bodybuilder is squatting with 925.

How many top elite powerlifters today can squat such a number with, say, only a belt and, maybe, wraps? One? Two? And these guys weigh well over 300 pounds.

Yeah, Ray was doing it.  ::)

One more thing. His name's spelled Samir. One m. HTH

Samir earned it in 83. But he loved life too much to go for seconds, especially against LH..

How come he could never duplicate his 1983 condition? Was it really that hard for him to come in dry?

technically Mentzer did get into stage ready shape with heavy duty ie. the 1st version of it which was training 4 days a week each muscle twice a week for 3-6 failure sets per muscle

Was lucky enough to meet Samir at the British Grand Prix in Nottingham in the '90s after the show - I went multiple times so can't be sure if it was before or after the Momo tragedy.  He was an absolute professional, with a beaming smile (no homo #1) as he clearly loved his job and talked to us all for a super long period.  Didn't charge $20 for the pic with him either...

Talking of tragedies, I also met Ray McNeil, maybe at the same event?? (and squeezed his leg - no homo) even though I can't find him in the listings!?!?

Totally irrelevant point:  David Dearth and Porter Cottrell were impressive on stage, but very VERY diminutive in person...
