Tbh I took ideas from Jones, Mentzer, Leo Costa, Tom Platz, Arnold, Victor Martinez, Ronnie, Jay Cutler, and many others, and I created my own training system. I only train twice a week

With 5 off days a week, I'd assume your doing a lot of jelqing, no?

I think Leo Costa's Big Beyond Belief was the best bodybuilding program ever created.

BBB was more professionally done. Titan Training I thought was a step back. I liked Serious Growth as well.

Tbh I've been training twice a week for a while but I may add a few more days, my method is still evolving

Towards the end of his life, Mentzer was more idiot than savant.

Tbh you have to experiment and find out what works for you (high volume, high intensity, super high volume, super high intensity, training once every 10 days, etc)

My 25,000 post!!! 8)  It takes years of dedication, lots of free time based on having no goals or social life, to accomplish this amazing feat! I am now going to go take the rest of the day off.

It's hard to take any roid users program seriously, considering doing absolutely nothing + taking steroids = you gain muscle

You are only 10,000 posts away. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Just learn to persevere and post everyday even when you have something more important to accomplish. Fuck school, work, relationships, hell even training. Remember that the most important accomplishment in life is airing out your grievances and opinions online to strangers.

 Mentzer a genius?   Oh boy. He tried to sell himself off as a pre med student. He wasn't. ( he did attempt it but never went past 6 months I believe. In fact I think he enrolled but dropped out)
   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.

Let it go. Mentzer died in 2001. Move on.
