How could he reach that level of development without all the essential supplements of today like glutamine, Beta-alanine, arginine, Whey hydrolisate, BCAAs...??

It`s mystifying isn`t it

Meh, he got his props.

He won a few shows, youngest Mr. America, Arthur Jones protege, 3rd place Mr Olympia...

He did all he could with his structure.

.. People forget, were too young, or were just not around yet to realize that in 1971', Casey Viator was the only bodybuilder in the world who could stand next to Arnold and Sergio .. I put him on the top of my list as the most under rated bodybuilder of all time

Am I the only one who thinks he looked better as a teen?

Since there's no actaul ratings, it's tough.

If I picked someone who always showed up in shape, looked great on stage and was a crowd favorite, yet didn't place as high as some would expect, I'd have to say Pavel Jablonicky.

No,I also think he looked better.

Lots of the pros looked better as amateurs for that matter.

Phil Heath never bettered his 2010 Arnold showing.

He looks great there Jeff.

Sammy Willis was unbelievable as a teenager and short class competitor in the early to mid-1970's. He won the AAU Teenage Mr. America, Mr. Mid-America, and Mr. Central America contests and earned top places in several other national competitions. He and another outstanding african american bodybuilder Willie Johnson were always in the mix at the national level. Both great bodybuilders with very little attention directed their way.

They were great but they were with Hoffman/AAU and that`s why the lack of coverage.

Thanks Wes. You are absolutely correct. I have always wondered how some of those AAU shows might have transpired minus the Hoffman "influence/guidance".

I wanna say Lee Labrada, even though he did very well in competitions. I wish the judges had valued his kind of physique more. It may have helped prevent bb's slide into freakdom and michelin man bubble gut that began with Yates and continues unabated.
