I don't want to die just another slob-with my name on a gravestone someplace. I want to die with my name somewhere at the top. Make a little dent in the sport I'm in, so that maybe forty years from now people will say, 'Hey, that guy was Mr.America.' This would give me enough happiness to die with a smile on my face.
- Mike Katz

I won't do anything else until I win Mr.Universe. If I have train ten years, I'm going to win it. I don't know why I say that because the education is just as important, but I could not be happy right now going out as a loser. I placed third in Mr.Universe last year. If I went out as a loser it would make the ten years I've spent in bodybuilding a complete waste.
- Mike Katz

I want to be bigger than everybody else, but I wouldn't want to be so big that people can't accept it. For instance, if you come in with 30-inch-arms, even your own peers aren't going to accept that. I wouldn't want to be that way. I wouldn't want to infinitely become unreal.
- Mike Katz

COULD THIS BE ADONIS' FATHER?

he owns a gym I used to go to, it was called WOrld Gym and they had great equipment with dumbells that went up to 200lbs------almost overnight he changes the gym to "Planet Fitness" and gets rid of all the good equipment including all the heavy dumbells down to 60lbs

He would give anybody who actually lifts in there an attitude----------they had a bell that would go off if someone dropped a weight a decibel too loud-----------------basically he wanted only fat out of shape middle aged diabetics to go there.

He's a sellout-----f*ck Katz

Katz should've realized earlier in his BB career that time spent in the squat rack contributes to every champion BBers success.

I belive he said something about a knee or similar injury when playing fullback for the NY Jets in Pumping Iron.
Perhaps this is why his lower body work was less intense

That is indeed Adonis´father, Adonis have a lot of anger towards him for going the steroids route... he's determined to be bigger and better than his father, all natural to "show him"
Hate like that can take you a long way.

And he just expanded the place with another cardio and circuit area according to their website... lots of money in catering to fat slobs

A pompous windbag who rambled on and on during an appearance here in NY; he looked 87 years old. Never had a great physique at all.

He was an offensive lineman for the Jets for a while.

Rich2 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2006, 06:01:14 AM »

Mike Katz was and still is an emotional old man who has always tried to overcompensate for his shortcomings and crappy childhood. He never won the Mr Universe (and with good reason), and did zero damage at the Olympia. He also aged terribly.

Katz is one of the greats.

He did pretty well on the Olympia stage.

Katz back is too big for his arms, he has one pose and that makes him look like a spider... hahahah

damn, that's the exact same thing that happened to the Gold's i used to work at.

Planet Fagness

They are a "Judgement Free" zone, in other words, if you are a fat slob and have $12 a month, you can be "Janet Fagness" Problem is, they cater to the undesirable gymgoer who won't continue to go but will continue to get drafted for their membership monthly. All about selling a high volume of memberships and not helping a damn soul.

Went to a seminar here given by Dave Draper at MidCity Gym on 49th street. There was another old guy up on the platform with him, I said to myself why is the accountant for the gym up there, I guess he must be a fan. He was fat bald, sickly pale and looked like he never lifted a weight in his life, I mean never.. Then he started giving advice to guys about lifting. I was like WTF!!!, Turns out the dude was Mike Katz, former Mr. America. I am tellin you dudes he looked horrible, nothing about him said that he was Mr. America. His wife, sorry but she was just as fat and just plain ugly. I can't imagine when the meet new people and tell them the Mike was MR. America, they must be laughed at. Seriously dude, he looks horrible. I walked home stunned, totaly depressed and thought about never lifting again. Damn if Im gonna look like that forget it. Whats the point. But then I returned to my state of denial and I am back in the gym.

um no he didnt. in 76 he placed 2nd in the heavyweight class out of 2 competitors. and in 81 he placed 15th out of 17 competitors. his only claim to fame is Pumping Iron, in which he was consistently owned by Ken Waller.

Howie, he was an offensive guard.
