If he would have just took the 1980 olympia on the chin, kept his mouth shut, kept training, kept competing, he would have won the olympia down the road and everything would have been FINE. He was wayyyyyy too blackpilled and hung up on bitterness.
>>77582993He unironically wouldn't have. He had already pissed off a ton of important people in the fitness industry before the 1980 Olympia like Weider because he went full blown German sperg mode with his HIT philosophy and was very critical on other things pertaining their bread and butter like protein shakes being useless. If someone like Tom Platz who genuinely kept his head down still got screwed over then Mentzer wouldn't even be placing top 10th. The IFBB and Mr. Olympia is a glorified rigged pageant but then again Mentzer also started to look like shit and did start to develop a roidgut because of his retarded carb diet
>>77582993>>77583003Don't shit on Dr. Mentzer, King of /fit/
>>77582993Mike would have been a great bodybuilder if he dropped the weight and did more volume
>>77583086Lose weight
>>77583003You think Arnold knows what Weider's dick tastes like?
>>77583102I don't wonder about two men sucking each other off you faggot
>>77583003This. Mike only fully realized this in 1980 and stopped then since he didn't want to be a part of it.IFBB only exists to sell supplements. All the guys in the 70's and early 80's didn't even use the shit in the ads they posed for. Most of them probably didn't even know how much protein they were eating. They just knew they need it so they ate a lot of meat and eggs then counted calories to cut down. They probably didn't even know what creatine was. First creatine supplement wasn't commercially available until 1993. Most people didn't even know what it was until 1992 when some Olympic athletes said they used it after winning. Most of those big guys in the 60's to 80's didn't even use most of the stuff marketed very long because most of them found out it didn't really work if at all or they absolutely could not stand some of it sticking to the tried and true dieting and roids for their gainz. Improvements in roids, later synthetic HGH, and other drugs was ultimately what lead to most if not all of the improvement in muscle size and conditioning in the late 80's and 90's. Most of the nutritional knowledge most of them were using for bodybuilding were probably already perfected by the early 80's if not already in the late 70's. Mike's dietary recommendations being more in line with what was considered nutritional science at the day rather than the recommendations Weider gave to sell powders. Mike was being cut out not because he recommended only doing a few hard sets (his recommendation routines had 6-8 sets per week for most muscles at the time), but because he was going against Weiders business model with the correct claim that you can get everything you need from your diet.
>>77583102Arnold was Weider's golden boy. He probably didn't suck dick. Weider purposely picked him because Arnold had big pecs and big biceps; the money muscles and the one every young man wants to get and Arnold had the best biceps and pecs of his era. Everything Weider did was entirely for marketing. He couldn't have his golden boy lose any contests. He even disqualified all competitors in 1971 to give Arnold the win by default and to pull some political shit where he banned everyone from the IFBB for a year for competing in the NABBA contest against Bill Pearl. If anything, Weider probably sucked Arnold's dick.
>>77582993He would have been even madder in 1981 as Arnold and Weider's rigged that Olympia for Franco who looked like battered dogshit.
>>77582993I don't see why he has to win some homosexual pageant which is heavily rigged to be recognized as the supreme speciment of homolust.
Men become insanely neurotic and bitchy below 10%, hell even 15% is noticeable
>>77584581Machiavelli was right here considering the aftermath
>>77582993people who complain about the weider arnold rigged contests etcetc are naive fucking idiots who have no concept of how difficult it is to get attention and make moneythe truthbis everyone in the fitness industry should be sucking arnolds cock every day 24/7 for putting bodybuilding on the map in the way only he could with his height looks and insatiable hunger to be famous durr id rather have a clean and fair contest that nobody gives two shits about other than homosexuals and the prize pool stays at 5000 forever durrthat is the dark reality that people like mentzer are just too damn autistic to appreciate. and mentzer 1980 is like the only routine i respect in history of bodybuilding
>>77584581Arnold always was a nigger, just the way he cheated with the maid.
>>77582993You realize how bad it is for most people to use that much steroids from a base of being weaker than a freshman football player right?
>>77583100get a job you fucking loser
>>77582993is olympia just liek pro wrestling where they just pick whoever is popular to hold the title for a few years
