I have his original Bulletin One in really good shape. It was  put together with staples. It sits in a plastic container in my basement. I bought it many decades ago and the last time I read it was maybe 40 years ago.

All these genius guys never seem to look very healthy. Even Mentzer turned into a slob at the end. If it only takes 2 minutes to be in shape why aren't they?

Interesting stories. Generally sounds like an asshole tbh. Aggressive self promoter and monopolizer of conversation.

Wonder how much is true. Boyer Coe said he believed AJ was doing work for the CIA. Seemed to have unlimited funds but no one really knew how he made his fortune. It would be interesting to read a thoroughly researched and unbiased biography about him.

Well, if he truly espoused Randian objectivism, he wouldn't have cared what the judges thought. He would have recognized the merits of his own physique and continued to compete. Like Dicketson or Bannout, both who went on to win the Olympia.

Politics didn't do him in. Sleeping for only 3 or 4 hours a night then compensating with amphetamines for months on end did him in.

This small handed Phaggit is STILL complaining about Mentzer?

Mike obviously was placed where he placed because of Schwarzenegger. Arnold has a long history of being a piece of shit.

He reminded me of Hunter S. Thomson

They live in their own head. Overthinking training instead of just doing it, like fat people and dieting. Paralysis by analysis.

mentzer, like strydom - had no back... none.

he did not, and could not present a complete physique.
