    What happened to Mike Mentzer

    Does anyone know what was the verdict on Mike and his brother Ray? I havn't seen an update on what the autopsy ruled as their cause of death. I am interested to see what happens to some of these guys who using gear way back when.

    mike died of a massive heart attack. he was a very bad amphetamine addict for years, plus heart problems ran in his family.

    ray had been on kidney dialasis for years and was in very pour health. mike took care of him. rumor has it that he commited suicide. but i guess we will never really know.

    that was quite a blow to the bodybuilding community.

    GMV

    Oh! I see you get your s**t from GMV too!

    I've got a great video of Mike pumping and posing back in his prime, and the infamous comeback

    your right Kev I shouldn't knock the little guy?

    I hear he was a good source for amphetamines?

    I agree that Mike was a great bodybuilder in his time. I remember Flexonline had comments from a number of people when Mike died and the one that shocked me was Frank Zane. Everyone was paying their respects to Mike's awesome career and Frank had some harsh words to say. He basically said that Mike was never as good as Frank was during that period. What an idiot!

    Hold on a minute!

    Are we forgeting that Frank Zane won the Mr"o" 3 times

    And Mr Universe 4 times

    He defeated Arnie in the 1968 Mr universe

    He may not have been a massive freak! But he was very detailed
    and symetrical, and a fantastic poser IMO

    He placed 3rd in the 1980 Mr O, and mentzer placed 5th, Zane
    was also in a car accident 4 months before the 80 olympia, and
    still managed to come in shape?

    Have you seen frank lately at the age of 59? I'd give 1 of my nuts
    to look like him at 59

    Mentzer still had great "V" shape to him and overall symetry,not
    knocking his physique at all, but he bitches to much when he looses, which was frequent

    Amen to that!

    By the way Big Kev. one of my bro's up here in the great white north,was and is still a good friend of ronnie's. he trained at
    Colemans gym many moons ago when he lived down there in
    texas.He competed this year, but didn't place high enough to get his pro card?but he still made enough money bodybuilding to pay
    for his gyno surgery this year.

    Lets see if Ronnie can make it 5
