not to mention his his arrest for steroid distribution

Yeah...I remember that. Too bad... he seemed pretty smart and had a lot going for him without having to do that.

Proves that intelligence or coming off in an astute way is no proof of making good decisions...

I thought you were a nut a few months ago but I've changed my point of view....

Classic getbig syndrome. He was never a nut, you were.

Nice to see some pics of Szkalak; he along with Robby & Padilla don't get enough props. In part due to a dearth of pics, partially the political environment that led to questionable contest decisions and subsequent departures from the IFBB of most of the best BBs.

Okay...since I likely will not be posting any more shots till tomorrow, here is a cool Mike Katz story.

Around 5-6 years ago, Mike and I went to the Meadowlands to judge Kenny Cassel's (I think Kenny was the promoter) Women's Extravaganza.

We were at one end of the judge's table, and at the other end sat Robert Deniro.

He is a big Women's bb fan, I discovered.

Well, here's the interesting part:

There was figure and bb.

When the beautiful figure girls came out, Deniro would respectfully and calmly applaud.

Okay, no problem there.

When the most jacked, roided up women ever came out (I confess, I don't mean to offend anyone, but these jacked up women...well, ain't my cup, if ya know what I mean...)...I swear Deniro would get so nuts it was like he was doing the 'wave'!

I think he went most nuts over Vicki Gates (Or someone very similar to her).

Anyway...

Mike and I were given a hotel room to rest in.

While we were in repose, Mike's cell phone rang.

After a few seconds, I realized it was Arnold calling Mike.

For the rest of the day, Mike was kind of in a strange state of wonderment...he did not underatsnd why Arnold had called him in a call that lassted over 8 kinutes, just to shoot the sh--.

On the way home, he came to the realization that as they are now in their 60's...Arnold only feels really comfortable and trusts those who knew him when he had ' nary two shillings to rub together'...Mike and Franco and all those guys...so this is among the only times that he is himself and feels comfortable.

Rambling a bit...sorry...but it was cool/funny to be there that day.

More to come,

Moosejay

A cool little adendum to the above story...while we were there and walking through the hotel....a huge number of NY Jets and Giants were sitting around eating...and Mike and I walked right through their area...and I was flabbergasted at how many of the current players knew who Mike was...some even wanted his autograph (Mike Played with the Jets 67-69).

good stuff moose.  The 70s and 80s were BBing's glory days.  Would have been fun being part of the scene back then.

Me at 21; Kal doing autographs...Cheach's Gym, 1981; Kal, Ronny Mangum, Me, 1981; Big Kal hangin'

Ron Mangum, if I remember correctly was the big dude who went toe to toe with Steve O' Brien for the Natural Mr. California in 1980 (??).

MooseBoy-did Ron do the Natural CA. in 80 or 81... I am ALMOST positive he was the guy-a very very close contest that could have gone either way.

Let me know....... I might have to call Steve O' Brien up and ask him.

Easily for him.

When he was at my gym in 81, he repped four wheels on each side of the bar on inclines. His arms were not only gigantic, but he was stronger than he looked...

I remember the first time I went into Gold's Venice-81 or 82-Hampton Drive location-Sunday afternoon, pretty empty-except for Mike Christian and his workout partner, both repping out 405# on the incline, then on to flat benches for 500# reps............Never saw that shit in my local gym!  ::)

i'm sure he was strong but i think i'd have to see that to believe it, how many reps?

i don't know man maybe your memory is fuzzy, 6-8 with 315 i'd give him but 405? i'd have to see it in person.
