The first time he entered the Mr. Universe he was beat easily by Robby Robinson. He tried it again and he was destroyed by an in shape Kalman Szkalak who was bigger, more cut and body part by body part was a cut above except for calves. In the 1980 Olympia he didn't come in second or third he came in fifth. If you watch the actual tape of it you would see how deserved 5th.
-
why did he not win?
Maybe he was not Mentz-to...
bwahahahahha
-
Where can one see that tape?
-
his teachings were totally opposed to weider principles.
weider was bodybuilding, so he didn't get much love.
not to mention he didn't push supplements like weider wanted - again another nail.

Where can one see that tape?
Of your mom being gangbanged by the 1980 Olympia lineup?
-
I knew Mike and Ray fairly well and am a bit surprised that FatPanda offered a pretty accurate but part-appraisal of the situation.
And also .... Mike had little respect for Arnold due to a number of reasons but mainly because he thought that the Arnold/Weider friendship did not allow fair and impartial decisions within certain IFBB contentions.
On one occasion we had a 4 to 5 hour meeting with about 15 amateur contestants immediately following a contest in which Mike spoke openly and honestly about his relationship with the IFBB. He made it clear that he had no respect for Arnold and that fact that he was a friend of Joe's.
That was the time when Mike was planning to publish a new magazine ... which some of you GetBiggers may know more about than myself.

Interesting list - considering he was only one place away from winning the Mr O in 1979 he got pretty close.

Question: "why did mike mentzer not win more stuff?"
Answer: Because he quit.
-
Arnold p@w3d him into suicide....
-
opinions?
Because he wasn't good enough.....for the fifty thousandth time....
-
IIRC, he was the only bodybuilder to ever achieve a perfect score of "300" at the Mr. Universe, which I believe he won.
His book, Heavy Duty Journal, shows how important drugs are to the "sport".
On a calorie deficient diet, he gained 9 pounds of muscle, wherein he did the same diet "clean", he lost 4 pounds.
His diet was quite frankly, stupid, even though he was chemically enhanced, and this is coming from a true Mentzer disciple.
-
Mentzer was a cool dude one of the smart guys,I guess Arnold didn't like other Smart guys around.Always remember Arnold is GOD. ;)
-
Probably the mustache...

Probably the mustache...

pdf ?

Fatpanda, what are you asking me?
If this is available by pdf?
No, I have the HD Journal from the 1979 Olympia at my house. It was given to me by Roger Schwab of Main Line Health and Fitness (formerly Main Line Nautilus) where Mike would occassionaly train.
Roger is a former judge for the IFBB and taught me a ton about HIT training.

any chance of a scan of it ?
i'll return the favour 10 fold ;)

Mentzer did not have two IFBB pro wins in 1979. He won the Southern Pro Cup on February 3, 1979- which was his only IFBB pro win ever.

Brutal offer of sexual favors. :-X

I am one of the few people I know that respects copyright laws.
I believe the book can be obtained on his website, but it is honestly not a great book.
If I were to recommend one Mike Mentzer book, it would be HDII. HDI was good for a couple of chapters, but doesn't shine light on any uncovered territory.

so do i but since the author is dead - no harm no foul.
i respect your beliefs though.
could you elaborate more on what you said about his gear use ? did he name substances ? amounts or just that he took gear and put on 20lbs ? and didn't and lost 4 ?
-

This.
-
Where can one see that tape?
any self-respecting dvd store carries the Total rebuild, BFTO 80, and Mr Olympia 80.
-
Mentzer was the biggest crybaby of the early eighties. If he wanted to do something about his 1980 loss then he should have come back bigger and better looking then ever the following year. Instead, he cried, cried, cried. :'( :'( :'(
