Ever wonder why Mike Mentzer fell so hard?

[beakdoctor]

     Very good description of Mentzer at the end of his life. He began speaking in a pompous, pseudo-intellectual way usually reserved for writing articles. He began using obscure words just for the effect of showing how intellectual he was. One time in behind the scenes footage of Heavy Duty video series filming, Ray questioned why women were attracted to Dorian because Ray thought Dorian was ugly and Mike answered, "He's not teratological ugly. Do you know what that word means?". Incorrect use of the word and awkwardly used to show intelligence.

    In almost all bodybuilding interviews, a warm up question is "How old were you when you got interested in bodybuilding?" Whenever Mentzer was interviewed and given this question, he would give the EXACT same answer, word for word; "At the age of 11 I clearly remember I was at a local newsstand looking over a vast array of magazines and after a period of time my attention became arrested by the sight of a bodybuilding magazine". This is great for writing an autobiography but Mentzer would have casual conversations in this manner of speech. He just LOVED to hear himself speak.

Not sure what role meth had in this, but he definitely fit the word spun when people describe meth addicts.

I read that it was after becoming obsessed with Art Jones. Mentzer really started to imitate Jones tone, cadence, language, speech patterns etc.... I think it was Jerry Brainum that pointed it out. Said it wS super weird because he didn't always talk that way.

Who love to see Mike and Ray resolve their heated argument in a no holds barred match where the loser has to shave their stache. Talk about the ultimate humiliation

Arthur Jones seemed like an asshole. He had a good taste for pussy though

Emulating Arthur Jones is somewhat weird, but Arthur is probably one of the better options during the 1970’s.

I remember reading that Ben Weider was obsessed with Napoleon.

When I met him in the seventies I asked him what he did to get such huge arm.....he said he had the right parents.

I had no clue what he meant because I knew nothing about genetics at the time....in my mind I thought he was an asshole for giving me that "stupid" answer. 

I asked Dorian if he had any advice on building calves, he said, “Get better parents.”

Back to normal.   LOL 

Haha I do feel more myself last few days brother

Did Mike and Ray get a lot of pussy?  Were either known to have large cocks?  Did either dabble in homosexuality?

Rachel McLish. If I fucked her in the 80's I'd still be bragging about it today.

As would I.  She still looks pretty good.

[Vince B]

Ray told me Rachel was too religious so things didn't last. Well, that is his story.

[Humble Narcissist]

I would convert.

Translation: She wanted to get married.

Mentzer had Arthur Jones

Ben Weider has Napoleon

Arnold had Hitler.

Sieg Heil!

[Stakkers]

Fking 3d trigili and his vintage blast. The guy is a homosexual botox addict. Have u watched any of his shit.  He has so much arrogance and the way he laughs at his own jokes is so cringe.

Yes to all questions

I'll see if I can bump an old thread that outed Mike not long ago



WooOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H   O THANY

Mike was always a wannabee on the edge, got told he was next big thing, then got skullfucked and properly beaten by arnold and never recovered. Pretended to be a guru with answers but was just drugs talking and he ended on a slab early.

Ray was a dumber version and died because he couldnt remember to breathe without mike

end of story

This made me laugh way too hard. That’s a great yet underused phrase

[kevin25]

Would make a great Ned Flanders at comic con.

[deadz]

Never wondered never cared.

Arnold Didn't say That 

See opinions vary.

[tommywishbone]

I knew both brothers reasonably well.

Mike was certainly odd but more good than bad. He was always cool and cordial with me. I liked him.

Ray was a certifiable douche bag and ass wipe. Completely full of himself even when he was a fat mess and 275 pounds of goo. Only spoke negatively about any other bodybuilder- even bodybuilders that were winning IFBB shows in the 1990’s.

I was bummed when Mike died. Can’t say the same about the other guy.

I trust your opinion, Tom. I will go easier on Mike in the next thread.

Tonight might be a good time to create that thread
