Chris dickersons fdb was horrible.  His abs looked like they were melting/slipping down,  his biceps were tiny. He looked good from the back just standing there but lopsided from the front.

According  to the judging panel Chris had the best legs in the top six



WoooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Between Zane Arnold and Chris, it was so close on many levels. But Arnold had the charisma and showmanship to pull it off at only 75 percent. Royalty will argue, but it’s the way it is.



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH

I wasn't there at the Opera House that day, but obviously stage presence got Arnold further than that Mentzer's flat chest, distended midsection could ever do for the poor guy,





WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHh 10.4.80

According to the judging panel, Arnold was “more than friends” with Paul Graham

Arnold had ‘conjugal visit sex’ with Paul Graham during his time in prison

He looked disoriented, like a toddler that has lost sight of his parents



WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bwahahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha!!!

Some asshole heavy duty /mentzer/ cult member told me Mike put on 20 lbs of muscle for the 80 Olympia.  These people are delusional.  Royalty has no argument so he makes up these wierd posts about Arnold having sex with men. Grow up.

Bwahahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha!!!

Arnold found himself a balding, 40 year-old fat man to take care of him. I’m not judging Arnold. I did the same thing when I was 19 years old. However I didn’t make it in bodybuilding. Oh well.

Why did Mike and Royalty have such a huge problem with just Arnold? ...  Dickerson, Zane Were also
Placed ahead of him, Boyer Coe was tied with Mike.. and, the 4th place was awarded to Boyer to make matters even more painful to Mr. Heavy Duty.

Did Mike honestly think Arnold had also arranged all them placings?

It's a shame Mike could have had a relatively easy win the following year (1981) with a great career within the industry, Mike had a lot of good ideas while rocking a legendary mustache that put Joe Weider's to shame.

The mental weakness let him to a detriment downfall to the point he was seen running naked on traffic busy streets





WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  CBS Sports

That's something I always found interesting.  Mike followed the Objectivist philosophy and Teachings of Ayn Rand.
The characters in her books she used to illustrate her objectivist philosophy were unusually strong willed, possessing incredible self belief and did not depend on the opinions of others to influence their work. They were objectivist but also were self interested, bordering on arrogant.

But Mike let the judges opinions absolutely destroy his life.

He failed at objectivist philosophy just like everything else.

Boyer coe placing ahead of mike is surprising, none of his poses really flowed. Maybe the judges really didn't like the flat chest and first bloated gut look.

Seemed only bad in 1980 for some reason?
