Thanks for sharing your memories of Mike Mentzer.
Thanks for the reps! Yes, I did compete this past weekend at the Easterns. First show and I loved it. Can't wait for next year!
Great arnold pic in the poll thread. We all know he's the king!
No offense taken my friend. ;-)

Don't get me wrong, I'm an Arnold fan, [I]but [/I]competing in 1980 was just a slap in the face to his fellow athletes. Arnold is all about Arnold. And he was [B]wrong [/B]to compete that year. Just wrong.
Bill Pearl removed himself from the judging panel (wasn't he supposed to be the head judge that year?) because of his close association with Chris Dickerson. Like Arnold didn't have friends at the judges' table. BAH!
I had read about Mike and amphetamines and some other crazy stories, but I can't help but think that had things gone better at the 1980 O that his life might have been MUCH better. Fifth is what they gave him, wasn't it? That's insane.
Good to see you here. I'm still over there, but love this site. Species supps are the bomb, Dave and John are a team, Jeff the Producer, Colette and Krissy, just an all around good group of people.
I rely too heavily on MuscleMemory.com, but it really is a great site. Tim Fogarty does it all by himself, too. Definitely wish Mentzer had sucked it up and come back in 1981 to kick some @$$. He would have gotten an O somewhere between 1981 and 1985, imo.
