No. That was Johnny Fuller.  32 sets of 32 reps!

Roy is almost 90 years old. Just the other day I saw a video of him squatting on his IG page!

Bottom row their abs all look great. Were all the bodybuilders just doing roman chair ab work back then? Everyone had such dense abs that stood out. Much different compared to today.

Look at the skin around Arnold’s bellybutton. Then look at the same area on Mike.

Flabby loose skin around Arnold's belly button. Mike's abs and belly button area are flat and shredded. Not an ounce of fat and looks shrink wrapped.

Yep. I think that Chris Dickerson and Mike Mentzer did enough to place in the top 2.  I don’t have a problem with Dickerson placing above Mentzer.

Mike's whole body was flat. He came in too depleted.
