Viator would look like crap standing next to Arnold.  Mentzer is pseudo intellectual. He got a lot of mileage out of being a pre med major drop out. I believe Viator took steroids during that weight gain and not only that he did a lot more than Nautilus during that period.

It's been talked about a zillion times. Viator himself said he came off a period of zero training after he had injured a finger in an industrial accident. The Colorado Experiment was as much an example of muscle memory as a marketing ploy by Jones.


Ellington Darden, who was involved, did a great job explaining it all: https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/the-colorado-experiment-fact-or-fiction/

Jones supposedly told Viator to cut weight before the "experiment".

All bullsh*t to help Jones sell his machines (which were good).

Of course Viator used steroids.

Viator gained a lot of water which reduces your bf%.
