Post by: Royalty on January 17, 2024, 02:04:06 PM
Flex definitely used these pics of Mike as motivation in order to develop his back for the 1993 ASC

As good as mike was its not even a contest, Flex in 93 Ironman condition would have taken Olympias off Cutler, Coleman, Heath, maybe even post 93 Yates, he never got in that shape again, his kidneys were fried could never get that dry again. One of the best physiques in bodybuilding history.

Mentzer had freaky development, where most had problem to develop  such as calves, forearms and delts, but comparing his back thickness with Wheeler is a joke, Wheeler had one of the deepest back in bbing.

Well mike was mentally week, like most of his fans. I mean Arnold called him 'fat' and it caused a 20 year downward spiral. So my guess is Flex would win since he supposedly knew karate. All mike knew was a few dope dealers.

Never understood the flat pecs gig

And his waist wasn't that wide a bit thick maybe

There's a Tricep comparison btw him and Richard Baldwin and they both had 17 inch arms

Baldwin had very good arms and I read a training article by him from back in the day and he purposely added siz to his waist WTF ???

    Mike would get destroyed in a fight. He would throw one punch then stop because anymore would be overtraining. He would try to rest 7 to 10 days before he threw another one and in the meantime flex ( or anyone) would be beating the hell out of him so yes Mike would need 7 to 10 days to rest ( and recuperate ) lol

i guarentee ya he built his size with big weights

p.s. he was the same stage weight for years and that's when he did this dipshit training he just maiintained his size and never added more more muscle with that crap

built his size with heavy loads, maintained his exact same size for years and years doing that crap training he did and that's thart

Heavy loads is not (s)HIT.

All pros after reaching a certain size don't get any bigger so what's your point?

my point is you can maintain your size doing pussyass workouts but to built that size you gotta work hard and increase training loads, if training loads increase you get bigger doesn't matter what fucking style of training you use

He didn't do pussy ass workouts. He still trained with high loads.

Skip to 6.35 where he is doing 4 plates a side for reps on the shoulder machine in contest prep.

He may have gone lighter on smaller movements but certainly on the compounds he went heavy. A lot of bodybuilders train that way.
