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


Mentzer & Quinn never robbed innocent people.

Bro...

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

Another victory for Quinn

Mike Quins current physique  💀 ☠️

Which was worse at the end... his physique or his net worth?

I saw him once at a strip club, Diamond Dolls, in south FL, he was bald and extremely fat, had to be at least 300 lbs, completely bald. He looked to be taller than 5'7'' though, maybe 5'9''? his arms were still easily 22'' of muscle and fat. He was tough though, I was looking at him and he looked at me like saying ''wtf are you looking at'' I immediately looked away, it was not worthy to mess with a deranged Mike Quinn

You could have taken him.

Never be intimidated by a bodybuilder begging for money on gofundme.  If he gives you attitude just threaten to withhold or cancel your donation.

This was years ago, I was maybe 26-28, he was not exactly someone I wanted to mess with lol, he had to be maybe 320 lbs (of muscles and fat, with a huge gut too)

Sounds like you could easily outrun him if necessary.  I’m trying to picture him at 320 with a muscle/fat gut combo.  Whose physique would you compare him to in order to give us an idea?  I recall when Kovacs was off season with a big gut… but he was also very tall so the look was different.  A chonky Tank Abbott?

Well.

Answer his question now. What were you looking at?

[Humble Narcissist]

Royalty has entered the building.

[BayGBM]

Well.

Answer: a slow moving train wreck!  When your last few years are spent begging for money on gofundme (and your family does it after you croak to bury you) that is a failed life.

Arnold has had huge public moral failings but he has had an enormously successful life.
