Wasn't there an unpleasant back story to that shoot..?

[youandme]

Srs question though, who would win in a fight, prime Craig Titus or prime Mike Quinn?

Likely Quinn.

Cool pics. I think those were the glory days of bodybuilding.

Mike was pure rage, a psycho, no?

Mike was pure rage, a psycho, no?

He said he used amphetamines for years.

Mike was just a man that loves animals . It's said he played with them long after the shoot was done.

Also Mike Quinn at 20 - 27 minutes in here. It's the infamous chubby dancing routine year -

.

The cop references are to this earlier in the show -

.

(Also cute and cringey  Padilla skit at 42 minutes in the top video).

I forgot how great Mike looked back in the day.....great build with an insane back.

Brutal if true

What a bizarre spectacle. This is 180 degrees south of the artform Zane had elevated the sport to by the late 70's.

I know the drug testing ruined the physiques so im trying not to judge tge bodybuilders too harshly. But listening to mean gene ejaculating adjectives while moaning  ooh's and ahh's as a fat guy prances around on stage. The outfits, the storylines it was so campy. More Chippendales than bodybuilding. This didn't age well.

How come he didn't place higher in contests?  he would have dwarfed lee labrda and rich gaspari, were they so well-conditioned as to overcome their lack of size?

The wrap on Quinn was inconsistent conditioning, and relatively subpar lower body. He sometimes had a reverse Platz thing happening - great, great upper, small lower. Also bad timing, mid 80's - 90's just had so much talent.

No, they were more complete. Gasapri placed 2nd at the 1988 Olympia, while Labrada placed 4th; Quinn placed 6th. Labrada placed 2nd in the 1989 and 1990 Mr. Olympia shows. Gaspari placed 4th and 5th, respectively. Quinn placed 7th and 11th, respectively.

He placed top 10 at the Olympia multiple times, back when doing so (automatic qualification for the next year's show) was more prestigious than winning lower-tier contests. Quinn, like many others, competed only at the O.

The fact that Quinn did so well, against competition like that, shows he was one of the best in the world. No wonder the WBF made him one of its early signees.

1988 6th 1989 9th

he placed 11th in 1990

Ive always been confusing Mike Quinn,Jim Quinn and Mike Francois.

The best way to identify them is to know  Mike Quinn once measured Mike Francious body fat at 0.0% with Jim Quinn’s calipers in the posing room at the Golds in Venice.

Francious was working as a PT at the time and unintentionally had also gotten himself into great shape.

Flex Wheeler can confirm this story.
