I have this video.

It's pretty decent. Mentzer explains things well and is a good teacher. Markus Reinhardt kind of spruces up the drama a little bit, though.

Mike sounds loonier than he comes off on paper. Like a rambling lunatic.
The training style he is promoting there, is "candy ass" compared to what he talks about in articles.
I guess he stuck with what he did best, though, meth.....

Two things:

Did he have a stroke before this?

Notice how he hates EZ bar curls but Dorian loved them.

I love when he says "That's four and a half !!" on the positive movement, like the guy did it wrong.

Also saying to never use an EZ curl bar, because it works the Brachialis. Yeah, no shit, that's why I use it. Last time I checked that was part of your arm too.

He had some serious medical probs by then, as you can hear.

groink... ur signature 'GO GET UR FUCKING SHINE BOX' is awesome lol BILLY BATTS!

in regards to mike mentzer- maybe he believe doing hammer curls to work the brachialis is best. and doing str8 bar is best to focus on pure biceps stimulation

ps - is the avatar a pic of u? if that is u...ur arms are friggin massive.

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #142 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:48:36 PM »

the way you read, you'd think his methods are vessel-bursting intense and use bone-crushing poundages. i'm sure that gets you a hell of a burn or something, but it doesn't change the fact that the tension being put on the muscle is laughably low.

D.L. 5 · « **Reply #143 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:52:38 PM »

personally.... the way that training looked...i would not enjoy it.

That clip is misleading, isn't representative of the usual higher HIT intensity.

That's the biggest issue, not whether it might work for some. And that wasn't even full-out HIT intensity.

thats rite...when i go to the gym i want to lift normally not too slow.

i think the 'intensity' and good form elements are the best...and less volume but more intense sets and reps are the great concepts which i use... but super slow reps are just not for me (once in a while is cool but not EVERY time)

He died that night after that video was filmed.

"Q. Do you know anything about "Mike Mentzer's HIT Exercise Video"?

A. On Saturday June 9th we finished filming "Mike Mentzer's HIT Exercise Video". Tragically, a few hours later Mike passed away in his sleep."

your right he did sound drunk, or maybe he had a stroke at one time. I think it is more common amoungst bodybuilders than people are willing to admit.
