perhaps

On the video one of the commentators (I think it's Chris Dickerson speaking) said that he was just 19 but he might have been 20

Here is the Heavyweights from the same year

Mike Christian says on the video he eats between 150 to 200 grams a protein a day



Here are the middleweights

One of the most overrated bodybuilders in history... narrow clavicle/shoulders, 17" arms, wide waist, no back density.

I was at the '89 Arnold... how Rich beat Bertil Fox, Robbie Robinson and Bob Paris I have no idea.

I wanted Robby to win that one.  he was the first Night of Champions winner, back when that was the second best show to the Olympia.  and he looked awesome there.  possibly the best his serrates/intercostals ever looked.

His hallmark was the size and conditioning but you're right on the money , see his front double biceps shot in this video?  :-X

Like how the commentator said about Rich '' imagine this guy at 25'' - Little did he realise that Rich was pretty much washed up by the time he was 25  :D

At the time, I remember reading it was his conditioning, combined with a "vastly superior lower body".

X2.

The only thing he did was to abuse diuretics in his teen years (hall of famer now for being younger pro and ripped vascular beyond belief)

I wouldnt be proud of such achievements .....

I always hated how Gaspari would talk like he won more Olympias than Arnold, very talk down to you kinda guy, and yet he was short and i never though shit for someone on gallons of roids.
