Title: Mike Mentzer was a genius
Post by: Wiggs on January 26, 2023, 05:48:04 PM
He took Arthur Jones info, refined it and was shunned for this but in the end, there's no doubt all things considered and equal Heavy Duty Training or HIT is the optimum training protocol for muscle growth. Note I said OPTIMUM.

I'm very glad he exposed the IFBB's and Arnold's corruption. And it's totally understandable why he walked away. Exposed the ads in the mags and their fake promises and lies. In the reasons all end in greed as the reason as always.

If Mentzer's training was the prevailing protocol and brief and infrequent trips were the norm, there'd be alot less hours spent in gyms and much more results and quicker assuming
nutrition was adequate for training and rest of 4-7 days after a session.  Genetic potential would be reached faster and 75% of the supplement industry wouldn't exist.

Mike was one of a kind and his contributions will reverberate for a long time.

Here's a gem for the gym.

I have trained HIT in the original and then the 4 day split form and finally in the last version.  The last version I followed to the letter and it was brutal.  I could not train again for a week or more.  And I didn't grow or get stronger.

The original version is, to me, the best but still I did not get any stronger or bigger.  The main ingredient that Mike left out was....STEROIDS.

The drugs are the ONLY thing that truly separates the so-called "genetically superior champs" from the rest of us that are supposedly "genetically inferior" to them.    With steroids (and Mike admittedly took them), you grow.  And grow...And GROW.

You only like it because you are lazy and think you only have to train once or twice a week.  There.  You've been exposed.  Again.

Personally feel hit/abbreviated training (mentzer, mcRobert ect) gained a lot of its popularity due to people switching from routines too high in volume and making the switch start to gain again as body defatigues from all the volume

Again this just personal opinion but find somewhere in the middle ground to be better, 6-10 working sets to failure a week per body part, few different exercises per body part to ensure complete development.

Finding the volume level your body can handle and then doing that consistently for years > any fad routine. Every person has a different genetic make up, so there is no best routine.

Learning to listen to your body is the way to avoid injuries and keep from burning out.

I respond better to high intensity than volume. In the long run i find extreme high intensity to be very taxing to the nervous system and even to the muscle itself. Nowadays i never rep to failure, otherwise i burnout quickly.

I believe Mike took his own example as the norm and not very people is blessed with great genetics like him. He was know to get in shape very quickly even eating like a bird.

Dead on. Ironically natural trainers seem to train with (s)HIT more than anyone else and they gain the least from it. Naturals need more frequency rather than destroying themselves in 1 workout and then recovering for several days.

Mentzer original workout when he first successful in the  mid 1970's was a three day a week full body workout with ~ 4-5 sets per body part which is ~ 12-15 sets per week
Then he moved to a 4 day split still with low but not unreasonably low volume and then the three day spit advocated by Frank Calta, again with low but not crazy low volume

By the end of his short life he seemed to have fried his brain and was advocating insanely low volume and frequency
The workouts were around 4 sets IN TOTAL once every 4 days

I always thought it was odd that Mentzer's "less is better" philosophy didn't extend to meth, cigarettes or steroids

Why not a half a Dbol tab ever 4 days ?

Man....I  don't know.

Mentzer was a bitter, cynical, burn out, who - simply put- didn't enjoy training.

As the 80's wore on and Arnold and bodybuilding reached  peak mainstream appeal, Mentzer was left behind....stuck in 1980, bleating about hit vs. Volume., 1980, conspiracy theories etc.. he just looked pathetic.....but what the hell else was he gonna do?

His faith in objectivity was partly his undoing. For Mentzer things had to make sense. Well, the world doesn't always make sense Mike. That reality was more weight than his soul could bare.

Far from a genius, a bit closer to a mad man.

No, in one of his last videos he talks about a skinny client who he had training once every 21 days. His nut hugging followers John Little and Peter Sisco had a video training program out where they were telling clients they would get to the point where they would only have to train once every 6 months or even once every year! Static Contraction Training and Power Factor Training were both inspired by Mentzer's HIT.

No, I just know that the reason for any "top" bodybuilder from the mid '60s on is their drug protocol.  It can be as simple as 3 Dianabol a day or as simple-minded (i.e., STOOPID) as Dallas McCarver's regimen, i.e., really, reeeeeealy moron levels of drugs and dead because of congenital stupidity.

There does not seem to be any "moderation" in what today's "athletes" are willing to take.  Nick Walker is a waddling example of today's dipshits of the dais.  He is a zit covered maroon and who knows if he will live out another year or not.

And other than disgusting schmoes, who cares?

Here's a gem for the gym.



In what way was mentzer a genuis? His ideas have been debunked long ago. No top elite bodybuilder, enhanced and natural, don't even use his methods. And yes that goes for Yates too.

If hit worked so well how come in 50 years it has never, ever proven what it promises. Even mentzer never practiced what he preached. They guy was out of shape most of the time because he was lazy. He wasn't a true bodybuilder. He built his body the conventional way, just look at his pics at 19. He had already most of the size from lifting high volume. Then he went into bodybuilding contests, got lucky on some wins but was mostly thrashed by better bodybuilders such as Zane, Szkalak, Coe, Dickerson and, of course, Arnold.

He regurgitated Ayn Rands nonsense which is a philosophy that should only appeal to disillusioned teenage boys. By the time they're 20 or over they should have grown out of that rubbish but not mentzer. He couldnt even come up with his own philosophy. The guy was a nut ball, certainly not a genuis. Even the golden era didn't like mentzer. They may say he was a nice guy, bit weird, but a nice guy. But that's it. None of them say mentzer was a fun guy to be around or he was the soul of the party. They're just being polite. The truth is most couldn't stand him as they would often get into debates with mentzer when he came up with his HIT rubbish. Just as Max_Rep about mentzer. Everything had to turn into a debate. The guy was so highly opinionated of hi self he thought he was better than he actually was.

There are far better bodybuilders to look up to instead of this failed human being. Yes, he was institutionalised. Yes, he was homeless for a while, he was living out of his car one point and was often seen car parks mumbling to himself. Yes, he wasn't good with money. He'd spend it thinking that his HIT courses would be a long term money making scheme. It wasn't. Hit died down in the 80's when it was found out what fraud it was and still is. He lost his money because he didn't invest. He lost his girlfriend who went on to bigger and better things. He ended up broke, out of shape, old and living with his ill brother in a small apartment in their late 40's. Does this all sound like a genuis to you? Certainly not me. He was a failed con man who should be long forgotten. He has done nothing for bodybuilding apart from crying about the 1980 olympia until his dying days. If you look up failure in the dictionary you'll see a pic of mentzer right by the word.

Ah yes, take an already built bodybuilder who trained in the conventional way and juices then use him in this joke of a "training" vid to sell the hit fad with mentzer coming across like some old, cranky, stroke victim. These vids are hilariously bad. Mentzer still trying to sell the hit gimmick when the rest of the world had already moved on.

Even today, hit charlatans like John Heart and John Little are still desperately trying to sell the hit gimmick but still can't provide any evidence of it working.

Agree with most of what you say.... but Ayn Rand 'rubbish' ? Have to disagree. Objectivism is a solid philosophy. While books like Anthem, Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead were just as insightful and precautionary as 1984 or Brave New World, just a tad over done, too long , too self indulgent but otherwise quality works.

Great Genetics and Drugs

Here is Mike at 19 and 195lbs

Mike told me he spent the majority of his teenage training following a low* to moderate** volume powerlifting and Olympic lifting routine.

*,** -- for the time.; e.g., four days per week, B/SQ/DL, maybe 6-8 hard sets per bodypart.

He said he transioned to high volume in his late teens and around the time he started attending UOM, got hurt, joined the Air Force and resumed lifting with 30+ sets/bodypart and made minimal progress.  Around that time he gave the Art Jones stuff a (second?) chance and liked it.

Mike was thoughtful, but genius, no.  He made many errors in his logic, especially where overtraining was concerned.  His solution to that was carried to ridiculous extremes...

...However, to say none of his stuff had merit is also b.s.  I used an earlier variant of Heavy Duty to considerable effect, and won the teen class of the NPC Tri-county in the general Charlotte area two years in a row, drug-free.  I was doing something right...a few of the other guys asked me about my prep cycle, and I had no clue what they were on about.

I've since come to appreciate shying away from failure and doing more work sets, but I still don't think there's any reason to do more than 9-16 work sets/bodypart per week, ideally spread across two sessions if you can swing it.

I know I've read TW's opinion before but can't recall exactly what he said.... said Mike was kind of quirky, moody, stand offish but not a bad dude all in all. Trained pretty much the same as everyone else? IIRC..

Agree with most of what you say.... but Ayn Rand 'rubbish' ? Have to disagree. Objectivism is a solid philosophy. While books like Anthem, Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead were just as insightful and precautionary as 1984 or Brave New World, just a tad over done, too long , too self indulgent but otherwise quality works.

If you're over 20 and you're still into that Ayn Rand nonsense then I don't have words for you. You should study psychology and learn that socialisation, genetics, and many other factors play a big role in the people we become.

On Ayn Rand, she is not taken seriously in academic philosophy. She had no significant dialogue with the academic community. She completed no philosophical education apart from her own readings. In fact, the height of her education was a bachelor's degree in history. There are think tanks and other such organisations that have publications about Ayn Rand, but most of these (such as the Ayn Rand Institute) are not reputable academic institutions.

Just because someone uses objectism doesn't mean they are right.

Mike told me he spent the majority of his teenage training following a low* to moderate** volume powerlifting and Olympic lifting routine.

*,** -- for the time.; e.g., four days per week, B/SQ/DL, maybe 6-8 hard sets per bodypart.

He said he transioned to high volume in his late teens and around the time he started attending UOM, got hurt, joined the Air Force and resumed lifting with 30+ sets/bodypart and made minimal progress.  Around that time he gave the Art Jones stuff a (second?) chance and liked it.

Mike was thoughtful, but genius, no.  He made many errors in his logic, especially where overtraining was concerned.  His solution to that was carried to ridiculous extremes...

Genetics,  psychology,  socialization are different topics.

On Ayn Rand, she is not taken seriously in academic philosophy. She had no significant dialogue with the academic community. This has been a sea change. She used to when academia was about furthering and expanding ones education.  Academia has been taken over and is nothing more than radical liberal indoctrination. The last thing academics want is objective thought. That should be obvious by now.


She completed no philosophical education apart from her own readings
. So what? The list of total degenerate, dumbfuck assholes, with university degrees is long and distinguished as is the list of great intellects with no formal educatics. A flimsy diploma that can be just as easily purchased as earned is not a useful metric.In fact, the height of her education was a bachelor's degree in history. There are think tanks and other such organisations that have publications about Ayn Rand, but most of these (such as the Ayn Rand Institute) are not reputable academic institutions. Ha! Academic institutions are training grounds for foot soldiers of the left. The cornerstones of Rands philosophy: Objective thought, capitalism, self interest, achievement,  independent thought are the enemies of modern  academia which in turn is the enemy of reason.

Just because someone uses objectism doesn't mean they are right
.I never said they were. And most certainly not Mentzer. If he truly understood objectivism he would not care about the judges score cards. If he truly understood Rand he would know rational self interest, which he didn't.

Cough...cough...

It would behoove you to monitor that cough.  It might be a COVID symptom ;)

In all seriousness, as I said months ago, before someone decries "HIT" as worthless or the like, it's first necessary to define what HIT actually means. 

Some say it's the Art Jones routine; e.g., 8-12 Nautilus machines each taken to a set of positive failure in full-body workouts performed thrice weekly.

I maintain that definition is overly narrow.  On the other end of the scale, you have Mentzer's "consolidation routine," which had people training once/week with just a couple of exercises taken to a point of failure.

That shit was based on reasoning that made a kind of superficial sense but was based in some of the worst premises imaginable.  See, Mike thought that, as long as someone "triggered the growth mechanism" bu training to failure, ANY lack of progress MUST be attributed to "overtraining" and, as such, the only way to stay ahead of poor progress was to add more and more rest days :/

Mike had one of the most brutal and humiliating meltdowns of all time. If even some of the stories about him are true regarding the paranoia,  homelessness,  psychotic episodes,  arrests, drinking urine, amphetamine abuse etc..etc.. it's a mighty fall from grace.

I will say pulling yourself back up afrer you've sunk to those depths merits respect. For a while before the end of his life he was writing for the magazines again and training people,  even had some kind of influence on Dorian- which at the time- was the greatest redemption he could possibly get.

Being race conscious is required to understand human nature. She was a proponent of individualism which if practiced today would end most of our societal problems. If each individual's rights are protected there is no need for women's rights, gay rights, black rights, etc, etc. These groups are now using group rights to empower themselves over others so that they aren't judged by individual merit. They will never accept equality because they know if they are equally judged they won't measure up to others.

She absolutely understood economics and government which is why she held the views that she had. I don't agree with eliminating all government controls like she did but there is no doubt government has grown to large and powerful.

Mike was smart in a business sense because he gave people what they wanted. Something for nothing. Work hard for 15-20 minutes once a week and you'll be at your best. Muscles in minutes. He backed it up with client data where people were supposedly gaining 30-40 pounds of muscle in a few months.  Obviously this isn't possible even on the strongest steroids. He pawned himself off as pre med, a science guy. He made plenty of money especially towards the end.

  In truth Mike's rep speed isn't supported by studies. Neither is his low volume, and beyond failure techniques. At his peak in 1979, and 1980 Mike did far more warm up sets and total volume in comparison to his later programs. He also did an absolute shitload of running. 10-12 miles some days. He should have factored this in as well.

"But I've got to give it to Arnold. For what it's worth the internets estimate his IQ at 135, with 160 being genius. But you can never trust IQ results as they're always squewed. You'll rarely meet someone who tests with a 100 IQ or below even though that SHOULD by definition be the average IQ.

Why Pick Arnold? What separates Arnold's life story from every other bodybuilders? Is it hard work - can't be. There are plenty of pros who work harder and are more dedicated than Arnold. Is it good looks? In a word - no. Arnold is FAR more successful than any pro bodybuilder because of his intelligence and charisma. He might not have spent the most time in school but he has useful intellectual traits: he was insightful enough to figure out what avenues to pursue in life. This is the same kind of insight that gets people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg to the top. I don't agree with Arnold's politics but if I had to hire any pro bodybuilder not based on physical attributes I'd pick Arnold."

"I think Metzner has some of the most over-rated intelligence. I think the vast majority of his own results were not from training but from his genetic gifts. If you see pictures of a young Metzner you wonder why he's not even bigger.

Bodybuilders are viewed by everyone as meatheads. I think that a few pros in particular have attempted to shield themselves from this sort of criticism by trying to put on a very cultured, learned personality. If you do this sort of shit for show, instead of being genuine, then you're a charlatan. Mike has pictures of himself in his books attending art shows, curling up with a good book, wearing glasses and sweaters, etc. It all feels very staged to me. The pictures are supposed to demonstrate how the short time commitment of HIT training allows him the free time to live an intellectually stimulating life. But then, even though he's RETIRED, he picks up a meth habit to help him focus on his supposedly insurmountable workload? You'd think he'd have even more free time than before. It just doesn't make sense. Smart people usually do what makes sense."

Finding the volume level your body can handle and then doing that consistently for years > any fad routine. Every person has a different genetic make up, so there is no best routine.

Learning to listen to your body is the way to avoid injuries and keep from burning out.

"You know what I'm going to do when I get to Sydney? I'm going to take Mentzer's cup of piss and I'm going to hide it. Yeah, mess his mind up a little."- Arnold, probably.

That is something that a 7th grader would say. Arnold was insecure.

Champions like Frank Zane, Lee Haney, Larry Scott, and Dorian Yates were able to win Olympia titles without all the name-calling and “psychological warfare”.

Arnold wasn't insecure. He just threw off the competition. Nothing wrong in that as it is a competition after all. Psyching out your opponents is done in many contests. So what?

50 years of hit and not one top champion uses it. No elite natural trainer uses it. No serious trainer uses it.

Dorian Yates used conventional methods to build 99% of his mass, not hit.

Mentzer did high volume most of the time. John Terilli trained with mentzer and saw him do 25 sets for the back alone.

The only guys who keep promoting this hit guff are those with financial interests in selling this fad. Here's a few of these charlatans who promote hit as the best way to train and yet they look unremarkable.

Drew Baye, chunky out of shape.
Doug McGuff, average where's the beef
Ellington Darden, skinny no muscle
Clarence Bass, looks like he trained in Auschwitz and he even took roids. Lol.

Ha, I remember when Mike tried to go on MFW (misc.fitness.weights, an early no-holds-barred newsgroup) back around 25 years ago. He didn't meltdown hard, but it was non-stop piss questions. He even got asked about it in Ironman Magazine -

"TS: Dan wrote that you were involved in some things regarding amphetamine abuse and drinking your own urine.

MM: [Chuckles] I don't know where he got that one. How would anyone know I drank urine?

TS: I don't know, but a lot of people believed it.

MM: Yes, a lot of people like to see celebrated figures come down a notch or two because their own self-esteem is not very high. They gain a sense of self-esteem when they can say, Look, I'm not like that; that person has shortcomings. And that's not the proper way to gain self-esteem. That's irrational.

No, I never drank my own urine. Where that notion arose, I have no idea. I did take doctor-prescribed amphetamines for a while, because as a competing bodybuilder and writer I found it difficult during periods of severe dieting to sustain the energy required to train and then go home and write for hours. But it was always doctor prescribed."

I think that was his last interview, and it has a piss question :/ :).

Spent many years in a place where if you talk slick and say something out of line to somebody, you know that when you say it, you better be ready for what happens. most people here in the 'real world' aren't ready for what could happen...and run their mouths like the world is a make-believe cartoon. Despite wearing nice slacks, polished shoes and a nice shirt, the guy you steal that parking spot from at the grocery store and proceed to flip off, may have just gotten out of prison and will have no problem identifying the bitch in you and proceed to teach you a lesson by taking you down to the ground and kicking out your teeth before you even know what happened.

The guy who's willing to go the furthest, wins. If you're not willing to go all the way, it's best you keep your mouth shut and move on, and make it to the next day.

I wouldn't say it to his face because it's not the polite thing to do, not because I would fear him. With Mentzer's bad back and chain smoking history, he wouldn't be kicking anyone's ass.

still, why do so?

This also goes on in the work place and thats where I really draw the line. Theres always that initiating verbal warrior one walked on egg shells around who is able to talk his way out of anything. That and breaching on peoples personal lives who always outsourced it and never talked about it in person to any them the person HAS TO WORK WITH AND REMAIN AROUND

well i never took alcohol or smoked or did drugs so theres that

And all my enemies were either physically weak, micro genitaled, or look much older than their age.... OR ALL THREE!!!

Not sure how many feuds Mike had to deal with (or ANY ifbb bodybuilders for that matter) but for me all I had to do was physically be somewhere for a few months duration and SOMEBODY will somehow have a problem with me no matter what

putting well being on the line to try to best everyone in their specific categories they are most well versed in individually is not always fun

I'm getting pretty fucking sick of your crying, boy! I'd be willing to bet money you got literally raped by one of the bigger boys at school lol lol lol. You better buck up your ideas before I grab you by the scruff of your neck, ragdoll you to the floor, and force you to eat my cat's shit straight out the litter box. I'll film the whole ordeal and stick it on YouTube to show the entire world what a pussy you are, too.

As I have said before, I saw the Mentzers train one day with Viator at the original Gold's.   That's true and their training was brutal.

I had Mike's final book and unless you are on more bathtub gin than bhanky or can get genuine Dianabol  it is too much of a shock to my system to train like that.  To a lesser degree, Brooks Kubik's "Dinosaur Training" is almost as hard on the body.  I did both and I enjoyed Kubik's methods a bit more than Mentzer's.

When I first tried Mentzer's HIT it was in the mid '70s and the four day split would have been my choice had I had the nerve to take steroids like some of my friend did.  They did much better than me on HIT but when they got off (as they always did) the drugs everything still went away.  ;) ;D

Mike wasn't a genius.  Mike wasn't a moron.  He was a marketing wiz and for a while he did really well with his courses which, when you consider that it was the exact same stuff as he did in the Weider magazines with the exact same pictures, makes the morons the guys that bought the magazine with his training in them and then ordered the HIT courses from that same magazine.  ;D

Mentzer's problem was the amphetamines.  He ruined himself with that stuff (and who knows what else?).  My youngest brother did meth and he ruined his life too.

Find what style of training works for you and stick with until you get "bored" and then switch to something else for a while.   I remember reading about how after winning some title Mentzer returned to Gold's and under the tutelage of the Master Spackler, Joe Weider, Mike gained something like "15lbs of pure muscle in just one week!"...LOL!  I believed that but keep in mind I have a low IQ and was easily misled.   ;D   I spent a LOT of money on desiccated liver tablets, more than I could afford to.  I waited for a long time for my order of "Weider Weight Gain 10,000!" to come in and then my older sister and brother explained to me that it nothing more than really expensive Ovaltine with more sugar in it.  Dumb me.

When Robby Robinson told me the truth about steroids it opened my eyes.  I knew I could never be a Mr. America or anything else with a "Mr." in front of it because I was scared to take stuff like that.  I threw away a HUGE pile of magazines and did my best to go to school and work toward getting better and better jobs.   

Mentzer was a smart businessman who got hooked on amphetamines and allowed his ego to destroy his life.

"As I have said before, I saw the Mentzers train one day with Viator at the original Gold's.   That's true and their training was brutal."

No different than other bodybuilders training.

I had Mike's final book and unless you are on more bathtub gin than bhanky or can get genuine Dianabol  it is too much of a shock to my system to train like that.  To a lesser degree, Brooks Kubik's "Dinosaur Training" is almost as hard on the body.  I did both and I enjoyed Kubik's methods a bit more than Mentzer's.

Both suck.

"When I first tried Mentzer's HIT it was in the mid '70s and the four day split would have been my choice had I had the nerve to take steroids like some of my friend did.  They did much better than me on HIT but when they got off (as they always did) the drugs everything still went away."

Hit sucks for muscle building.

"Mike wasn't a genius.  Mike wasn't a moron."

He was certainly a moron.

 "He was a marketing wiz and for a while he did really well with his courses which, when you consider that it was the exact same stuff as he did in the Weider magazines with the exact same pictures, makes the morons the guys that bought the magazine with his training in them and then ordered the HIT courses from that same magazine."

Hit followers are morons that's true. Mike wasn't a market wiz he just stole that from Arthur Jones.

"Mentzer's problem was the amphetamines.  He ruined himself with that stuff (and who knows what else?).  My youngest brother did meth and he ruined his life too."

Junkie is what a junkie does.

"Find what style of training works for you and stick with until you get "bored" and then switch to something else for a while.   I remember reading about how after winning some title Mentzer returned to Gold's and under the tutelage of the Master Spackler, Joe Weider, Mike gained something like "15lbs of pure muscle in just one week!"...LOL!  I believed that but keep in mind I have a low IQ and was easily misled.   ;D   I spent a LOT of money on desiccated liver tablets, more than I could afford to.  I waited for a long time for my order of "Weider Weight Gain 10,000!" to come in and then my older sister and brother explained to me that it nothing more than really expensive Ovaltine with more sugar in it.  Dumb me."

Yes, dumb you.

"When Robby Robinson told me the truth about steroids it opened my eyes.  I knew I could never be a Mr. America or anything else with a "Mr." in front of it because I was scared to take stuff like that.  I threw away a HUGE pile of magazines and did my best to go to school and work toward getting better and better jobs."
So you gave up, huh?

"Mentzer was a smart businessman who got hooked on amphetamines and allowed his ego to destroy his life."

Mentzer wasn't smart but he did let his own delusion of grandeur get the better of him.

When I was a young skinny teen as opposed to now being an old skinny man,my training partner Ray Harris and I made the transition from training in our cellars and set up headquarters at the Springfield YMCA....there were not many gyms at all back then unless you went to a heath club with leopard spotted naugahide covered benches and chrome nonsense.....the calf machine went up to 100 whopping  pounds so it was the "Y" for us.

It was a hardcote gym mostly populated by powerlifters and I later became a powerlifter in the minute weight class of 123 actually weighing 126 pounds......I could do a touch and go bench at 123 with 230 pounds at the time.

I weighed less than the 98 pound weakling in Jr. High and when I left high school I was a whopping 105 after training if you want to call it that, for 2 years......me and Harris followed Arnold and Sergios routines.

Needless to say I gained jackshit but I was very strong for a little guy while on the other side of the coin,Harris was getting huge.....he could have been a Sergio clone and I`m not exaggerating..... but I digress.

Another guy who we saw there was the great Dave Mastorakis who returned my call from last night and is calling me tomorrow as his wife and he had to stock up on wine and food as a major winter storm is heading their way.

Anyway,we were so shy we were scared to approach Dave just being the kids thst we wre.

Dave was fuckinh huge and thick and had to tie a tape weight to the globular dumbells just to enable himself to train heavy enough.

As a tiny powerlifter I always had the best official powerlifting bench in the 132 pound class in every meet I entered. but only weighed 126 pounds......I was too fucking dumb to figure out that if I missed a meal I would weigh 123 of less and even do better.

Our mentor became a guy named John Pezzotte. who had an official 515 bench,650 squat,and 650 deadlift in 1974 or 1975...Carl Snitkin trained there also Google him.....800 pound official squats.....John showed us how to perform the 3 lifts and said he was gonna` start a powerlifting team which we joined and did OK at .....I also entered odd lift contests at the famous Mt. Park Amusement Center put on by the great Ed Jubinville.

Anyway again.....fast forward one day me and Harris were at the mall and saw Dave and both Mentzer brothers.....we followed them at a distance just amazed at their  sheer size.

Fast forward to around 2000 -2001....Dave had long been gone to California to become on of the first personal trainers......training such clientele as Jane Fonda and Leonard Nimoy just to name 2 of many.

Well anyway at our gym,and I hadnt ever truly gotten to know Dave but his training partner Ken Knapp knew me and Harris so Dave knew who I was.....Glen Chabot was going to try to bench 650 for a triple that night and the lower floor of the gym was packed.....glen was a pretty good friend of mine but I scanned the crowd and lo and behold I spotted Dave Mass.....well fuck Chabot though I did see his 650 for a triple like a hot knife through butter, but the bulk of the evening was me talking to Dave who miraculously remembered me.....we talked about what he was doing and had done out in Cali ,the Mentzers who were a lifetime friends with Dave and often times training partner,the late Gene Massey who I had the  pleasure of seeing
before his tragic plane crash,a Prime Srnold and Franco,Len Archambault,Leon Brown,Don Moddzelewski,Katz, Pete Caputo,Elliot Gilchrist,Skip Robinson,Warren Fredericks,Pat Hayes,Joe Ugolik,The Mentzers,and a host of others.....this was where my famous movie debut was filmed for Pumping Iron.....LOL ;D.......Mountain Park,Ed Jubinville and Leon Brown and Katz another local heroes and the first time I saw the asshole Louie.

On that night I finally, after decade of knowing but not knowing Dave, forged a lasting friendship to this day....a great guy who got robbed a lot and I`ve seen his old photos as I modeled his shirts and clothing line "Lords Of Disciple" with my then training partner another little freak named Greg Robbins.

If you search the board and type in "Golds Gym how it really was" or something like that....,not that I ever trained there.....another long story you will find a lot of stuff on how hard we trained like freaks and my best friend Ray Harris who was a teen prodigy and lots of funny shit.

Look it up if you are so inclined.....it`s a great read with lots of funny shit about a load of fucking funny animals.

   He quit or dropped out of everything he tried. Including life itself. He actually believed his "300" score was true and he was "perfect" . Smh That went to his head and then he cried the rest of his life. He tried to sell his fake way of training but no one does it. They bought his books and stuff because everyone wanted a quicker way to get huge. But ole Mike failed to mention his anabolic steroid usage . And he did NOT train the way he preached.
     A genius?  Nope just another casualty of his own weak mind and ego.

His Methods don't work for you / Me & many others , And so what ??
There's some who like it & benefit from it.

Does any 1 Training Protocol work for Everyone??
Likely No - Find what works best for achieving the goals you want
& forget about those that don't work for you.

Very Simple.
Just like your Mind.

So you admit methzer wasn't a genuis? Glad you agree.

Mentzer was no genius and not even close to being one. He was a failure at everything he tried. He did find a niche to make money off lazy people who wanted to get big with little to no work. People bought into it and when they got NO results he just blamed over training still. And then reduced  workouts even more. ANYTHING to keep from admitting he was wrong. DEAD wrong. On paper it sounds great. Blast a muscle with one hard set  give it time to rest and eat ( oh he forget to say take steroids)  and boom you grow. BUT life doesnt work that way. The human body was NOT made for that type of intensity, IN fact NO creature was. Do you know what happens when a cheatah  runs after his meal and doesnt get it?  I believe he can try one more time but if he still doesnt get food he will die!  Because his energy expenditure is so great he cant recover!!  HMMM sounds  ALOT like Mentzers bullshit "HIT" doesnt it. Also he claimed making strength gains was proof it worked. SMH. As anyone knows when you first start lifting you increase weight and or reps pretty easily for a short period because you are LEARNING how to lift it better. Does NOT mean you actually got stronger.

Exactly. Hit is having a big resurgence on the net at the moment with many claiming they are making "phenomenal " gains on hit yet when asked for proof the hit clowns can't provide any. The hit cult is good for one thing, a laugh.

anyone who increases loads will have bigger muscles they might be tiny to begin with but if they add 100 pounds to thier 6 rep bench max they will have bigger delts pecs and tris so if they had 13 inch arms now they will be 14 inches

If short and infrequent workouts were the way to go, then why did methzer look like crap for the last 10-15 years of his life? Why couldn't he find any time to train, even for 15 minutes?

He was asked that a few times and his answer was, "I'm so busy with my personal training and other businesses"

Right.................🤣

The standard way to build strength WITHOUT building muscle is to do low volume and heavy weights. Pavel often talked about this.

The trick is to moderate effort, not weight. That does not mean use less weight. It is better to do more TOTAL reps. That is, more work. Strength athletes do a lot of volume, whether session or weekly. And they aren't looking for the protein degradation that bodybuilders are (as much).

Title: Re: Mike Mentzer was a genius
Post by: Rmj11 on November 16, 2023, 09:07:20 AM
Here's is the BOTTOM line....

Despite 50 years of the theory, HIT theory has failed to produce the promised results. HIT was tried by almost every gym rat in the 70s-80s because, lets face it, who doesn't want the same or better results with less time in the gym? Only problem is..it didn't work well for people.

Look at how the modern bodybuilders who are winning contests train...is it like HIT? or...higher volume? HVT only exists as an ex post facto..meaning, no ones goal is to train "high volume". That is simply what the optimal routine looks like for most people after the routine is planned out. I don't know one person who says "I'm going to do high volume just because..."

Effective routines just happen to look like "HVT" when all is said and done. Volume rules.

methzer at 49 years old. Fat, spaced out, talking like a stroke victim, can barely move, looks like shit.

Vince Taylor at 50 entering the masters at the Olympia looking fantastic. Just goes to show. methzer, like his HIT gimmick, was a dismal failure.
If Taylor trained (s)HIT he would have been out of bodybuilding from injury in the early 90's.

Hit-tites

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittites

The Hittites (/ˈhɪtaɪts/) were an Anatolian Indo-European people who formed one of the first major civilizations of Bronze Age West Asia. Possibly originating from beyond the Black Sea,[2] they settled in modern day Turkey in the early 2nd millennium BC. The Hittites formed a series of polities in north-central Anatolia, including the kingdom of Kussara (before 1750 BC), the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom (c. 1750–1650 BC), and an empire centered on Hattusa (around 1650 BC).[3][4] Known in modern times as the Hittite Empire, it reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Šuppiluliuma I, when it encompassed most of Anatolia and parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.

Truth. We’ve seen the empirical evidence. The bodybuilders who maintain their physiques the best are the pumpers.

The learning curve being what it is, once you’ve been training for a while you essentially are what you are.  Continually pummeling yourself has a diminishing return on investment and leads to injury.

Btw, when I first started lifting, Mentzer was by far my favorite bodybuilder.

Vince Taylor specifically said that he had no choice but to train light.

He was already suffering from bad back injuries before he turned pro.

He lifted lighter because he was already injured.

Nort quite true. He found lifting heavy wasn't for him since he wasn't a natural strong guy. Taylor explains all in this vid.

I know anyone that trains with low sets and to failure irritates RM but I couldn't be bothered. I do know the HIT crowd can be as obnoxious as he is.  Some have called them a cult and I get that.

If you want to do five sets of ten in the squat or want to do one set to failure in the squat I personally don't care. Both are hard in their own way. One from an endurance perspective and one from an intensity one.

Bodybuilding scores are rankings, having a perfect score means some judges agrees you were the best bodybuilder at that show, not that your physique is perfect. If someone that placed 2nd to 6th at the Olympia turned up at some no name backwater pro show, they'd be more or less guaranteed to get a perfect score. If someone is unanimously agreed to have the best physique in the novice category at an amateur show, they will get a perfect score. That doesn't mean 2nd to 6th at the Olympia or a random amateur has a better a physique than a Mr Olympia that won without a perfect score, it means means they were unanimously agreed to be the best at a less competitive show. And methzer didn't receive a perfect score at the 79 Olympia, he received a perfect score in the heavyweight division of the 79 Olympia, meaning some judges merely agreed he was the best heavyweight not the best overall bodybuilder. So there.

He took Arthur Jones info, refined it and was shunned for this but in the end, there's no doubt all things considered and equal Heavy Duty Training or HIT is the optimum training protocol for muscle growth. Note I said OPTIMUM.

I'm very glad he exposed the IFBB's and Arnold's corruption. And it's totally understandable why he walked away. Exposed the ads in the mags and their fake promises and lies. In the reasons all end in greed as the reason as always.

If Mentzer's training was the prevailing protocol and brief and infrequent trips were the norm, there'd be alot less hours spent in gyms and much more results and quicker assuming
nutrition was adequate for training and rest of 4-7 days after a session.  Genetic potential would be reached faster and 75% of the supplement industry wouldn't exist.

Mike was one of a kind and his contributions will reverberate for a long time.

Here's a gem for the gym.

I remember some local gym-rats (at the gym) discussing Taylor back in the 90's. (When he was winning).
Saying how crazy he was to drink Coca-Cola. In their hands were ABS Carbo Force drinks. (The craze at the time).
Which were just pure sugar at the time and not much different than Coke..

Begs the question: who were the smartest or most intelligent bodybuilders? Frank Zane and Katz were teachers but both seemed to be of average intelligence at best. Arnold was cunning, machivellian in a way, probably had a high I.Q. but I don't know that anyone would describe him as intelligent.  Makkawy was supposedly very smart, spoke a dozen languages or something like that.

Have there been ANY bodybuilders known for being extraordinarily bright?

The short answer is "no"

Bodybuilders are mostly retards, so when there is a guy with average intelligence that shows up, he is hailed as "genius". Retards leading the retards. And since bodybuilders have enormous ego, they usually believe their own "genius" hype, like Shawn Ray, the man with the visors and tremendous self esteem issues.

Years ago I did the Arnold "Education of a Bodybuilder" routine. Lots of sets, 5 per exercise kind of thing. I went from 160 pounds at 5'9" to about 200 pounds in 4-5 years- and then it stopped. I think I literally hit my genetic natural limit. No extra sets made a difference- and I was lifting heavy. I tried all sorts of variations to no avail.  So I eventually just decided to maintain what I had- and that is where HIT came in.

Doing just one set per exercise twice a week (I may add a light warmup set or two if i feel the need but just for the first exercise) I  lift  to maintain strength. I think that is the most you can expect from HIT. I do mostly dumbbell exercises, and I am not very strong, but doing just one set just short of failure I am happy with the results. My bodyweight has stayed in the low 200's for years now.

For the record, I currently do just one set of 8-12 reps of movements like dumbbell rows (110-120 pounds), dumbbell flat bench (80-90's), dumbbell presses (70-75's), shrugs, etc. etc. Good enough to feel strong- just nothing out of the ordinary. My workouts take 15-20 minutes.

I can see doing this routine forever- like I said it has worked perfectly for maintenance of strength and body weight.

He was out of his mind! Goes to show you how people percive intelligence.

He never did anything except build a good body and tried to emulate Arthur Jones. While doing a horrible job at it!

Jones became 81 years old. All The time smoking 2 packs aday and 1 bottle of whisky. NO drugs or anything really.

Volume has always built the best bods. Still waiting for the hit cult to produce great results. It's only been, what...50 years give or take. But anyday now hit will at last have a breakthrough...😂

Ha! I remember an article from M&F way back in 90 or 91 that outlined a "Mass Routine" I remember the article featured pictures of Sergio Oliva and Lou Ferrigno.  It was a 3 or 4 day split and outlined dozens and dozens of sets and reps of every kind of exercise for each body part.

I think I was a senior in high school at the time. I did that routine for months on end at first getting stronger and more cut, then getting tired and burned out! My cortisol spikes just thinking of that routine!!

I'd like to nominate this thread to the board for thread of the year. Not because I created it. No, that's not why it's special. I'm just a humble vessel that'd like greatness to be recognized. That greatness is that of uncrowned 1980 Mr. Olympia, Mike Menzter and his contributions to the world of bodybuilding.

Schwarzenegger and his Machiavellian ways led a great man to madness. Schwarzenegger has been exposed as a fraud, friend of the oppressing elites, an adulterer, a liar and enemy of freedom. Unfortunately, Mike was one of his victims. RMJ11 aka Vermin, is one of Schwarzenegger's cheerleaders. RMJ11 gives homosexuals a bad name which seems like a redundant statement but yet, he seems to have accomplished what is impossible. But I digress...Please accept my nomination.

I’m not sure what to make of this quick Franco interview

Is Franco saying that Mike Mentzer would do one set of 25-50 reps?  And that was his main set?

Or was Franco witnessing Mike’s warm-up before his all out heavy set?


Franco said Mike did “both”

Circa 1996-1998, there was a memorable statement in Musclemag International. It was stated that there was a study that indicated that steroid users who were NOT training actually gained more muscle than natural, hard training weight lifters.

Unlike the great Mike Mentzer,  Franco was an idiotic little man who made no sense. I'm sure Franco doesn't even know what the fuck he's talking about. 

If Franco were still alive and was posting on getbig, I'd tell him, right to his face: Go to California!

You need to look at what the study concluded. It never said anything about "looking like a bodybuilder," whatever that means. It proved that those who use steroids and didn't train at all gained more muscle than those who trained with weights naturally. Those who trained and used steroids gained the most muscle.

Nope. They gain bloat. It's not muscle unless they train.
