After turning pro he got progressively worse

SoIm trying to understand why though?

Did he just max out at an early age? Or was he a lazy trainer? Why did he fizzle out? Anyone know

Apparently Mike almost died at the 1993 Arnold Classic. Hospitalized. Diuretic situation, (just like Beneziza and Dillett) but the doctors were able to solve the problem.

After that contest, Mike really then seemed to go downhill. He’d show up either too soft, or super lean but small (over-dieting)

His freak factor was gone. But obviously he was doing a lot of drugs. He died in his 40’s.

One positive: I don’t believe that he ever went the snythol route.

I would guess that laziness was probably a big part of his downfall. But mainly, his real problem was a lack of overall health. His body was not responding because he had started a death process, and he ignored the warning signs.

He should have retired from bodybuilding after the 1993 Arnold Classic hospital situation.

Thank you for that explanation.

This is not the one I meant, this is from 1996 If I am not mistaken, the one I mentioned was from 1993, probably.
He was sitting, with mile wide shoulders and traps that were pushing his ears

Something similar this picture.

Thanks for the explanation, and he had great genetics for being big and freaky, but his high lats, short thighs were his undoing.
I felt sorry when he placed 3rd in 1998 night of champions, he was so overwhelmed by Ronnie Coleman and Kevin Levrone, they were a class on their own.
I thought Mike had broad shoulders, but compared to Ronnie, he was nothing. (Above pictures that Royalty posted are from that competition)
He competed in the most competitive era, I guess he could fare better in the early 80's...
