I love the part where Mike tells the guy. I paraphrase "Pretend that your favorite girl is standing in front you? wouldn't you give it all that you got"

ultimate motivator: Mike Mentzer

hahahahahaha, man that clip is proof of the fact that Arnold really did a number on Mike's head in 1980, he never recovered psychologically.

yea, it must have just killed him to still be in a fk*in gym talking about bicep curls while Arnold moved on years ago. Must be hard for a lot of the old timers to reconcile with that. It so out of proportion.

hahahaha, exactly, Boyer Coe is the perfect example of this phenomenon, still juicing and wearing a toupee at age 64.

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.

Thanks dude.

That would make sense. It's actually sad to see how shot Mentzer was at that point.

Mentzer looked fucked in this clip..... Meth is a hell of a drug

common guys give him a break. Mike was sick there. He died just after shooting that video.

I think its a good technique to do every once in a while to "shock" some new growth into your muscles.

But then I think all the "niche" techniques can be useful. High reps, low reps, high volume, power moves, partials, super slow, training same parts over multiple days, taking a week off to recover and rebuild...its seems to me that given a healthy diet, everything should give you some results.

I thought it was GHB? He's cooked for sure either way in those clips though. Its a shame, but he is still one of my all time favorites....physique-wise.

According to The New High Intensity Training: The Best Muscle-Building System You've Never Tried by Ellington Darden, Mike thought Arthur was God.

Literally.

And that he, Mike, was his son.

$:-\$

Don't believe me?

1. Go to the Amazon.com reader for the book here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1594860009/ref=sib_dp_pt/105-1428190-6183657#reader-link

2. In the field under the pull-down menu where it says "Search inside this book", enter...

God

3. Click the Go button.

4. Click the "on page 75" link that comes up as a match.

5. Read the paragraph at the top of the column on the right side of the page - where the word "God" is highlighted twice.

Goddamn. What a poor bastard. I've read stories of him being crazy but they didn't come from reputable sources but this is different. Wow, I can hardly believe it! I can see now why HIT didn't work for me. DAMN!

I wonder what a psychological analysis of Mike Mentzer would reveal. Perhaps he was indeed completely out of his fucking mind.

But still, what a writer he was! His books were amazing and nothing yet has ever motivated me as much as his books had!

Bluto, would you be willing to change the thread title to "Mike Mentzer thought he was the Son of God" ?
