Hahahahhaa! Little guy suddenly wondering what the actual F is going on.....

Little guy? That's a young Bernie Sanders schmoe-ing out big time.

Looks like Schmoe Weider is lost in the euphoria that was his never ending pursuit of fappiness. Back on topic.

Mentzer was one of the best bodybuilders ever. Looked great on stage and in street clothes.

Unlike Phildo, who looks exactly like a bloated turd of a carcass floating on the sea of a roiling toilet bowl.

^^^ wonder what that arm measures

probably 13 inches or so

too bad nd didn't honor my request to find that photo comparing a 14 inch arm to an 18 inch arm, as it isa very Iinteresting comparison

basically the arm looks twice as big even though it's only 1/4 bigger

Thank you guys for the extraordinary compilation of pictures of Mike.

I was a huge fan of Mike in the 70's. Having said that he had the zealot high intensity ideology fan base that believes he was better than he was. Remember he competed for the Universe and was beaten by Robby Robinson. He tried again and was beaten by Kalman. All just defeats. He didn't deserve to win the 1980 Olympia. Not even close. His 5th place finish was just about right. Remember around this time outside of Arnold he was the most highly paid bodybuilder in the world. His high intensity writings were highly influential on bodybuilding then and today. I still have in a binder with almost everything he wrote about training. His writing at the end of his life was nothing like how he trained or wrote about when he was competing. I believe his personal training business influenced his writing. Much better to to train a client once a week for 4 or 5 exercises for one set to save time for other paying clients. I do notice almost every high paid personal trainer is all about very short workouts.

Well, he did win Mr Universe in 1978...

People forget how jacked George Takai was back in the day. Even back then he's always seemed to have a poodle with him.

Love how Mentzer and Samir, and the rest of the bbers of that generation, looked in normal street clothes. Very in shape and athletic rather than fatsos waddling around in clown outfits.
