Mentzer lost to Robby Robinson in the Universe and his fans said he should have won. I think Robby beat him. Mentzer lost to Kalman Skulak (sp) in the Universe and his fans said he should have won. Kalman was bigger and more cut. He did lose to Mentzer in the calf department. Mentzer came in 5th in the Olympia and his fans have him winning? Give me a break. The film actually shows more than the pictures that Arnold at 80% still was better than Mentzer.
Who is doing more work? A guy who does 5 sets of 8 reps in the bench with 200 lbs. failing on the last set or the same guy doing one set of 250 lbs to failure at 8 reps? Obviously the one set is more intense but from a mathematical point of view the high set guy is clearly doing the most work.
I am a high intensity trainer. I think I have every artical that Mentzer ever wrote that I collected through the years.
