Mike Katz....Drug Free in 1980 and 1981
« on: July 21, 2017, 07:20:31 AM »
Happened to be visiting back east in 2004 and caught a Mike Katz seminar. He spoke about his steroid use in the 70's. Then he went on to state that he competed steroid free for all of his final shows in 1980 and 1981. He said that upon chosing to compete again in 1980....having been off steroids for quite a while and having still been training hard...he had a romanticized need to compete without any drugs and to just get back to his roots of his first bodybuilding shows. Said he felt that his 15th place finish at the 1981 Olympia was his best condition and his biggest accomplishment personally. Also stated that his bodyweight was 20 lbs less than his mid 70's competion weight. I think he looks pretty damn good.

And another photo from 1980 in which he competed at the drug free blood tested Mr. America contest. I believe he took 4th place.

If he was drug free he looks amazing. Realize he was a real athlete too.

His arms aren't big enough to match his chest. His thighs are too big for his calves. I'm gonna take his shirt and hide it, mess his mind up a little bit.

LOL He said he was drug free...... and when he was using it was the most miniscule of doses, likely less than the prescribed  HRT amounts. Sure it was a horrible placing but he was clean so it meant more.



Please, the guy who took 10 years to get his pro card decides to compete drug free when he finally earns it, when he had a legitimate shot at winning the actual contest?  Not buying it Mike.  You were a life long juicer.

The only drug he was off was the one that kept him from being delusional.

I have absolutely ZERO problem believing that Katz is steroid free here. He clearly looks down in size but still veey big and muscular. Not at all hard to imagine a man as big as Katz looking this size off roids. My god....one doesnt lose all muscle.

Lmao at drug testing in the 1980s. Today with the best drug testing that ever existed, 95% of Olympic athletes beat the tests. Katz is that dude who without drugs, would have been 170 pounds. NOthing about his physique is worth talking about. Drugs or no drugs. Allegedly is strong in the homo game and that's what keeps him relevant. Not unlike Mr. room 7...
