‘73 Schwarzenegger VS ‘88 Mike Quinn

[pamith]

What’s sad is that Arnold was part of a car theft network with Paul Graham.


Mentzer & Quinn never robbed innocent people.

Bro...

“My brother was not only well-known on the stage. He would help anyone with their training, nutrition, and posing. He would offer his expertise and would never ask for anything in return”

Except when he went to gofundme to beg for money for “Mike Quinn Training Services” https://www.gofundme.com/f/ProMightyMike

When you peel even one layer of this onion it gets more and more pathetic.  Apparently his sister had no idea what shenanigans Mike was involved in... but the answer was only one mouse click away.

Yep.  And constantly trolling gyms in S FL to try to pick up personal training victims clients even though most gyms wouldn't let him set foot on their property.

She's full of it he offered his services at a cost, from his own Instagram

Another victory for Quinn

It appears Quinn did not subscribe to the Robby Robinson school of aging well and staying in shape.  If that pic was meant to reel in clients I suspect it failed.  Doesn't take a marketing genius to know good pics--even old ones--are what you use to get the attention of potential clients.   

Does anyone know what Quinn did for a living? (personal training does not count).  I still have a hard time imagining why someone who was in so many glossy magazine spreads could end up so broke as to beg for handouts in such a public fashion?  And why didn't he keep himself up if he was serious about trying to train clients?  In his later pics he looked like he was well on his way to becoming fat.

Wasn't he a "body guard" for boxer Vinny Pazienza?

I will credit "bodyguard" as a real job... but only if it were preceded by official training in executive protection: use of firearms, physical combat, surveillance, etc.  That requires a level discipline for it to be real.  Did Quinn have that or did he just show up as a short big dude and "intimidate" people?  His sister saw this as a virtue.

"As far as us Quinn girls nobody bother us, he was the protector along with his other big gym buddies. We were the "Mighty" Mike Quinn sisters. I don't think anyone even knew our name lol. He enjoyed intimidating our boyfriends..."

Not very intimidating muscles or not being 5’7

Seeing real pro athletes like NBA and NFL players are more impressive

Quinn would have been more intimidating if he had a real job… owned a gym… owned a home… a vehicle… could pay for his own health insurance... and didn't need to beg for handouts on gofundme.  I understand a sister loving her brother... but it appears ambition and follow through were not family values in the Quinn household.  Instead of turning to gofundme when he died wouldn't his sisters be more comforted by him leaving them a few hundred thousand dollars as a legacy?

Royalty needs to be pick better heroes.

One of his 5 ex wives should have helped him out.

Are you serious?  Say it isn't so!  Just when I thought his life couldn't get more absurd you throw this out there?  Who in her right mind agrees to be the third, fourth, or fifth wife of a broke bodybuilder?

There was an article in a muscle mag many years ago on Quinn and he was talking about how he had just gotten married for the 4th time (if I remember right). His new wife was from Alabama and he moved there with her.

Another article came out not long after where he was talking about his recent divorce. I just assumed he probably got married at least once before he died.

HN:

Thanks for the factoid; it adds to the poor narrative that was Quinn’s arc.  I can see why he would want to marry (housing, a cook, etc.) but what in the world would a well adjusted woman see in Quinn?  What did he bring to the table?  Public begging does not suggest he was a person of any accomplishment or a solid provider.  Let me guess… they married for love?

You are a very sophisticated individual Bay, most bbers don't think like that, Quinn is a fine example of what a common bber is. Narcissistic, self absorbed, addict, no health insurance, no real job or income, no future plans, just live in the moment, marry a women who can cook, clean, stick syringes in your ass, and that’s a winner in a bbers mind

Of course there’s exceptions, but bbing isn’t a respected “profession.” Filled with scum bags, drug dealers, addicts, losers are the norm

[_bruce_]

Quinn was mentally unstable and never had a "proper" job.
All things considered he did pretty well.

you could do worse.

She looked like a country girl and very strange that she was with him. I think she may have had money so he may have been mooching. In the later article he mentioned how out of place he was living in Alabama.

Quinn's life appears to be a case study in what NOT to do. Four marriages. No home. No equity.  WTF was he doing for the last 30 years?

I hope the young wannabes are paying attention.  He pumped up as a young man and was regularly featured in glossy magazines for 15 minutes, but where exactly did that get him?  If the last phase of your life sees you (or your family) on gofundme begging the public for money you're not a champion... you're a loser: Quinn, L. Priest, B. Kazmier, D. Bourlet, etc.

Mike Quinn is dead. You probably should not allow him to bother you so much.

Your hero is dead and he died a loser literally begging for money on gofundme.  Even when he was gone his family continued his behavior begging for money to bury him.  You bet on the wrong horse.  Change your ways or you may follow Quinn.

Just one event he did within that 30 years I heard about. Made a nice stash on a sale (questionable livelihood to begin with) and then went out and blew the ENTIRE amount on strippers (stupid)
