^ I’ve actually heard many people point out that fact as well, that his sports achievement claims cannot be found or verified anywhere by any historian.
PEDs? Yeah,!I’ve got my opinion, but most people don’t care. The lying about everything else? Well, I’m surprised more people don’t get all fired up making their silly YouTube videos whole living in their parents basement about it -lol

Exactly. Some bald fat dude trying to get hits to his youtube cause he’s a hater. Lol. Just referencing this link shows a lack of knowledge.
I don’t understanding that pointing out his lies makes somebody bad, and isn’t it a good thing to point out a fraud.
He was in town for a BBing show last spring, grabbed some workouts in the gym I own, did a little photo shoot with local magazine, seemed like a pretty good guy.
We got a laugh talking about all the hater’s on line, his advice was to stay so focused, and busy trying to reach your goals, that you don’t have time for such nonsense !
I have to say, even the few goals I have reached, being able to live my dreams, making a good living in the fitness industry, and reaching some strength, and physique goals. I’m surprised how many hater’s I’ve picked up, when you achieve things in life, people want to tear you down for whatever reason.
Great guy in person, real personable, gave me some great advice, especially on the PCT I was running ; ) Have a great day !
By the way this is an un-photo shopped pic, and it seems pretty attainable to me, but I set my sights high, it’s how I got where I am
This is so true…
Regard Mike O’Hearne, I sense a lot of vindictiveness under the guise of “exposing the truth” to the public from some of the posts here. If you don’t like him, just don’t bring his name up. I’ve never heard of him before one guy decided to bump this several month old thread. You’re doing free advertising for him.
No doubt, the guy gets more hate than almost anyone in the industry. I personally do respect him for making a living and obviously working hard at what he does.
Of course when you’re going out of your way at every opportunity to scream about what you’ve “accomplished” and how you’re completely clean despite no record of any such accomplishments and getting bigger and leaner with every year (he’s at least mid 40’s by now?) that you not only exceed the top tested pros in every single federation but some admitted ped-using competitors as well,… Well, you’re kind of setting yourself up as a lightening rod -lol

There’s no doubt there is vindictiveness. Many people in the fitness industry are very self-centered and pleasure-oriented, and when they see a guy like Mike pop up–someone who literally earns a living pretty much through lifting, dieting, looking good, and providing self-help, feel-good blabber–one can reasonably assume that people will be resentful and jealous and try to tear him down. If you think about it, Mike likely does not experience the annoyances, hassles, discomfort, and obligations the common guy goes through. He doesn’t have a boss in the traditional sense. Though I do not think he is “swimming in hoes” as many would think, considering his social status and looks, he can likely attract women very easily. But he is not married, nor does he have kids; so he can march to the beat of his own drum, so to speak. He likely gets up whenever he wants on most days, and his passion is his living and he travels the worlds and has god knows how many fans. Has anyone ever checked the amount of admiration this guy gets on some boards? I would think some guys were gay from it, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I am astonished by the amount of attention he gets from people like Juggernaut Fitness, someone who claims he is not even fond of him.
Hence we see entire videos about Mike and his antics and how quickly the posts of those who bash him travel like wildfire throughout the net, particularly the statements on IG made by Leeman, who I do not think is jealous, but is rather annoyed by someone who is lying about his accomplishments in his sport, especially when Leeman is a freak and workhorse who is dedicating much of his time, energy, and gift to that sport. Lehman also seems to act like a man in most cases.
I don’t particularly admire O’hearn, nor do I “hate” him (I don’t particularly admire people simply because they work, or “work hard”). I am also not jealous of him in the slightest, not of his assumed income bracket or his social status. Rather I find his claims laughable and farcical, and being he is so pervasive in the media I expose myself to, find him a bit annoying. Hence I tune him out from the clutter.
I am the one who made the OP in this thread, and in the current day, I would not, considering the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth I have experienced in the past three years. Likely, I looked at the whole notion of posting about him as typical bro-gossip in the so-called “fitness community” and likely because I was and am so exposed to his shenanigans and products, with the recent ones being hundred-dollar duck eggs that I could purchase for seven bucks just a few miles from my home in the Asian community and a fitness device called the Frogger, going for a value of over 1000 bucks, if I can remember correctly.
I lost much interest in the infantile behavior so common in the “community”. Do I slip sometimes? Yeah, once in a blue moon. I’m a guy, and naturally we act like kids sometimes. 
But with who I am now, though certainly not perfect, I would not make this sort of thread now, or the Palumboism thread. They were not made out of “hate” or jealousy though.
I hope people understand. Amongst many in the fitness community, fans or competitors, emotional development lags by anywhere from five to fifteen years, or his abruptly halted the day the guy or gal goes in for their first training session and picks up the fitness mags. I made the OP at 33 years old. This means from the aforesaid quality, my emotional development and maturity at that age was that of an eighteen to 27 year old. As I get older, and having been married and planning on a kid and looking at he world differently, the gap is closing. So I almost at 36 have the mentality of a 36 year old. Perhaps by the time I have a kid it will be a perfect match to my chronological age.
OK, sorry for the rant, but I feel silly for making this thread that happened to pop up again. 
He takes peds, says he’s clean then sells (I really hope he hasn’t sold any) people 'vegetarian" duck eggs for $800 - claiming that’s his secret.
No need to look much further than that for your answer. But if you need to, the $1500 plastic go-cart is a great follow up.
sure he is natty and and every one in this video too
