Awesome clip !! Mendenhall was a genetic freak , it shows just how far the quality of bodybuilders have gone down , and just how competitive it was back then , if Matt was trying to turn Pro now he would have done it with ease , look at most of the ' pros ' and the NY show , they can't hold a candle to him .

After looking throught the NY Pro pics, I second that.  I have a hunch (and I've wondered for some time now why that is) but I beleive its probably due to that lack of relying on training prinicples and other "natural" variations and now a greater reliance on balls to the walls training coupled with as much juice as affordable to recover from that type training.  Follow me?

Wonderful clip, thanks Max.

What potential Mendenhall had; shame he never fully realized it.

I believe that was Matt's last showing? Don't see too many frames like that anymore. :(

Unfortunately we don't. I consider Matt cut from the same mold as Rory or Paris although their training styles were quite different.

yeah, didn't he get a virus or something close to his last contest, and that was the last we heard of him?
